California

Colombia Supremo (from TCC) is the best thing to have on a cold rainy Wednesday evening! One whiff of that strong aroma and I'm already on a high before I start tasting it.... SH says that 80% (or was it 90%?) of taste comes from smell, and I think I understand why......

The associate director of international relations at Cal was in town specially to meet up with some local alumni, and I had the priviledge of having dinner with her and S at Oscar's. I had the Carbonara Fettucini, and it was so good! It reminded me of the Macaroni Grill in El Cerrito (the last meal I had at the Macaroni Grill was with Mary, Anne and Dave, and I so miss y'all! I promise I will be in SoCal for the wedding!). We had a pretty good discussion 'bout the Cal alumni in Singapore, and plans for possibly reviving the official society as it once was. The associate director (or was it the university?) picked up the tab, and in return S and I pretty much pledged to do whatever we can for the alumni in Singapore! Days at Cal were some of the best moments of my life....

Somebody happened to suggest that we invite the Stanfurd alumni to some of our events. This is all I got to say:

So then its.... Up with the Blue and Gold
Down with the RED!
California's out for the victory
We'll drop our battle axe on StanfUrd's head (Chop!)
When we meet her our team will surely beat her!
Down on the StanfUrd farm there'll be no sound
When our Oski rips through the air
Like our friend Mister Jonah StanfUrd's team will be found
In the tummy of the Golden Bear!
