Company shirts

The company shirts that I ordered have arrived. We're entitled two per person at company's expense, 1 wool jersey + 1 top. There are two different types of top to choose from, a black jumper or a light blue shirt. I like the black jumper design, very stylish but I am not black person if giving a choice, and since the jersey is already black I opted for the blue shirt. Geez....big mistake. The blue shirt is so ugly on me, totally an eye sore. The cutting is just wrong. The shoulder is too small, the bust and waist too big. *shake head* Even uglier than my pyjamas! There is no way I would wear this.

As for the jersey, it is 100%, very warm. The fitting is not perfect on me, but I can live with it.

The pink stars are not part of the design. It is to cover off my company's name. Hehehe

I heard of them during my first year in Wellington but only made my first visit yesterday. I am impressed! Extremely impressed, with their service and their bagels sandwich. Very staff, and one interesting note, there was not a single male staff I could see....

Wellingtonian

Salmon and blueberry cream cheese (This one is extremely, very, absolutely heavenly delicious!)

It is an eventful weekend.

The Chinese New Year Festival has began.....

We also have the famous annual rugby seven keeping Wellington busy and colourful. It is an event where fancy dressing meets sport.

Those rugby enthusiasts and the attention grabbing bunch definitely went all the way to impress......

The Flintstons

The Mexicans. Oops, I spoilt the pic!

The Pink

The seductive frenchmaids *drools*

The sexy patriots

Elvis comes to live!

The Japanese...konichiwa

Ok, let's take a break....green tea latte anyone?

Not sure about this one. Can anyone help?

Tell me baby do you recognise me?

Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Looking back 5 times

The time machine

Mistipurple gave me a time machine to travel back in time. Woo-hoo, can go back in time wor...excited excited! There are so many points in time I want to go back to...can I use the time machine over and over? Then I can go there and here, changing this and that, wah~~~thinking about it already got me high~~~ hehehe

I want to go back to the 18th century of Austria to enjoy Mozart's concert and get his autograph. Then, go further back to 50BC to meet Cleopatra, 600BC to take photos of the the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, 2000+ BC of ancient egypt to see how piramids were built...ok, I am greedy. Have to make the best out of the machine mah.

Now that I think about it, I probably wouldn't survive the ancient epoch anyway, no mobile, no internet, no computer, no movie, no microwave, no washing machine how to live? So boring neh~~~ Emm…..to be practical (and not greedy), I would want to go back to my wedding day, not to make any change but to relive the moment. That way, I can wear my gown and be pretty pretty, having fun with family and friends, then enjoy my honeymoon once again. *start dreaming....*

Eh, talk so much when is the Time Machine arriving?

Since this time machine is so useful, must share share...I wanna tag

Winn - Let her kill two birds lah

Ah Boy - also let him kill two birds

May - Curious how May is gonna use this time machine. You haven't done it right?

ECL - Don't think I tag her before. Hehehe

keeyit - hope she hasn't done this one.

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.....
