Happy Halloween
Italian lunch finished long time ago liao ECL, ya it took me that long to digest. Piggy needed time to digest his rice also, he ate too much you see. Now we both can update liao. Kekekeke
Rinnah is so sweet, she gave me this Halloween Award
The main purpose of this award is to visitors to your blog to make new blogfriends. Emmmm.....I have not been making many new blogfriends lately, I have been lazy...*bad bad bad* I've been hopping from one blog to another (one night stand?), and now I couldn't even remember whose blog I've stumbled on. (even worse than one night stand!)
So, I would like to pass this award on (or back) to the two new visitors here...
keeyit - She is one of the bloggers who has frequent update. I'm now her regular visitor too.
Rinnah - I always wanted to visit her blog. Her name is like everywhere...wherever I go, I see her name. I finally moved my mouse over and did the click, and now I'm attached! Hehehe

P/S #1: Sorry ECL, I am not brave enough to pull a scary look of myself. I don't want to end up being mirrorphobia. I'm a wussy wuss! :(
P/S #2: Piggy is flying off to get his treat, or TRICK!

Sunday lunch at La Bella Italia
La Bella Italia, a place located in Petone that offers a whole experience of Italy. It is an award winning restaurant and an Italian authentic products store in one. They even have demonstration dinners occasionally.
We went there last Sunday for a late lunch. The food is good, environment quite nice, but the service is only average. The waitresses were not very friendly, like the whole world owes them money like that….Would I go back again? Emmm……may be…..
All of us
What were we looking at???
THESE! The beautiful pictures on top
Authentic italian food


Funghi alla Grana Padano (Flat mushrooms with rocket and Grana Padano)
P/S: Piggy also hungry after seeing the mushrooms dish.....

Breakfast tag and Sampat tag
Internet is back! Woo-hoo! \(^O^)/
It was frustrating through out the mitigation process. There were many phone calls made to the ISP since last Friday. Their protocol for resolving a fault is long and painful! I knew it was fault at their end, but they refused to undertake assessment, not until we have done our part. So, we had to carry out isolation test, connection test, called up for modem’s technical support and even borrowing a modem. All completed, and yet to no avail. One last call made on Sunday, only then they finally agreed to check their exchange server, and internet was back the next day. See! It’s their freaking server fault, but we were forced to go through all the hassles! Sick protocol! (>_<)!! There gone my long weekend, spending most of the time fixing the internet connection. @#$!*#*&#!! Now I’m considering changing ISP. It’s time to ditch ADSL for cable anyway!
Anyway, a lot to write, a lot to update, a lot to say and a lot to read too! But, first things first, let me answer the tags.
Breakfast is important
Winn gave me a breakfast-is-important tag. She wants to know what I have for breakfast. Well, nah, there you go, this is what I normally have for weekday. Quick and easy....... 
During weekend or any non-working day, I would prefer to sit down, take my time to enjoy a good breakfast, so I normally opt for a cook hearty breakfast......

I want to pass this tag on to Chen. Wonder what doctor normally have for breakfast...eemmm.....

Tag: Desktop wallpaper
Ok, since I'm so at it, might as well do another tag.
Chen gave me this tag because she wanted to sampat my desktop wallpaper. Hehehe. So there you go.....
Nothing creative but just ordinary.
This wallpaper was put up recently to replace the Hong Kong night scene. Why the change? Well, Kuok & Irene have come back from their honeymoon in Bora Bora. Since then, we've been chatting nothing but Bora Bora, sharing photos and experiences. My affection for Bora Bora has never faded, it was the best trip I've ever had. I thought about it now and then, but recently the urge of going back there has grown even stronger after all the chatting and sharing. Thus, the wallpaper to relive the moment everyday, just to quench my thirst, for now.....
lalala...lala.....*dancing away with the polynesian music*.......lala....lala..

Christhurch PART 3: The wedding
Not mine of course! Hehehe
The main reason of this Christchurch trip was not just for holiday, but with an very important assignment. To attend our friends, Irene & Kuok's wedding. It was not just important, but seriously important as we were their designated witnesses of their marriage. We felt hightly honoured by this.
It was a beautiful and sweet wedding.

I look like "big sister" wanna talk business (if you know what I mean) Hehehe
