come thursdays

i’m taking a break from my mindless self indulgence into asking you to vote for my friend’s dog which deserves a new start in life here : Vote for Chasis because the dog has been previously abused and still bears shit loads of scars.

yes i know i could’ve choesen any other dogs which needed more help and a better life but i am one person and i can only start little things before moving on to bigger things and i’m starting with my school mate’s dog first.

thank you. i will be eternally grateful to these kindness from strangers like you guys out there : )

some pictures
ice chocolate at the belgium chocolate boutique we find in malls

nothing special except they use belgium chocolate sauce with anchor milk and some ice cream.
i wanted to drink their hot chocolate but i saw how they froth the milk, i pass..why serve so called finest chocolate if you can’t get milk right? sorry…it’s just my opinion because i think if you gonna sell something more than $4, you better get that shit right. but maybe it’s just me…but do go try ok? you might enjoy this kinda things more than i can because i am a pitiful individual with no life…

i don’t really care much for vietnamese food…all the ones i had are so so…there’s one place many yrs ago i went

AION & sri mahkota

omg.
AION
i just saw the beta for this game (beta ends tonight and it’s in chinese so..GG la..my chinese is suxor…so don’t even bother to ask me translate and shit like that) but OMG

hahahahaha it’s quite cool larrrrr
you can detail customize (ie breast size, hair length, ass size, height, eye brows details, face + body art, clothes etc..)
i’m not shitting you…

the graphics is quite light (if you compare it to WoW) but it’s ala azn style………..the characters looks quite cool ala FF12+++ …. and the game concept is cool – Prepaid hours so if you decide this month you are quite busy and you can only play 2 hrs, that’s fine. next month you can continue XDDDD (unlike paying monthly and then feel gutted that you have to suspend a month on vacation or forfeit the time)

i’m so going to hassle asus to faster get new stock so i can buy my laptop and play la (i didn’t get to buy a new one from asus cos they haven’t brought in new stock >< ..i went back to check and going back next week! and no i don’t want a desktop so don’t bother la..if i cannot play the game on the laptop i rather not play)

-______-
but it’s really cool la..you guys should check it out hahahaha
BETA ends tonight so : )
if you want to play it, go preorder your special edition now from EB XD
i think we’re gonna do so tomorrow but till then~~

below the cut is my sunday lunch at sri mahkota

villa maria vineyard

i didn’t know wineries were cheap. well at least for villa maria estate, at $5 per person for tour and another $5 per person for tasting, that’s cheap. and VERY WELL WORTH IT! well the one in auckland by the airport, that is : )

apparently if you eat lunch there, your wine tasting is free.i just found out, i got charged for it * but it doesn’t matter because we all had a good time. but aside from that, their service is good and the guide was very obliging and knowledgeable and friendly (to entertain our numerous questions XD ) the wine tasting experience – we went through 5 bottles of whites and 2 bottles of red – was something new and i never really know how to taste the wine’s characteristics until today and also knowing how wine comes to form is also quite interesting. remember people – drinking wine is to savor it, not gulp it down and go AWESOME…lol…

the meals were prices decently. the most expensive would be the lamb ragout at $24. cheapest would be the sides but don’t even remember the price… i thought everything was decently priced and i was expecting to spend up to $300 there today but we left with a few bottles of wines and the bill came up to about under $180 for 4 people. cheap and nice, just the way i like it! they also have cheese platters and breads and dips – simple dukkah-ish dips and olive oils. very simple menu with market soup – soup of the day and gnocchi and ragout – vegetarian or lamb, seafood chowder, chicken risotto and i forgot something else but it was all simple food and the menu pair it up with it’s matching wine so it was quite awesome.

the villa maria auckland estate is quite scenic despite being in the manukau ind. area! i didn’t take pictures cos i forgot and there was no grapes so maybe i will go back in summer. the rest of the pictures i will upload lar when i can be bothered but if you have nothing to do and want to go for a wine experience that’s not far, head down to the villa maria estate and enjoy the wine and food. oh yeah, it’s best you make bookings ahead of time but wine tours are at 11 am or at 4pm but do ring them and ask them : )

the guy asked me what’s pinot means in english but i was not sure so i said i dunno…actually i was right..dam phailure..like i also dunno why i tell ppl i actually understand french (if you speak slow and simple) but i was telling my bf about the other french word…but ok i can tell u now cos i went to check it up cos i loosely translate but if you are french, PLS CORRECT IT! cos i used google. (btw lemme clarify – i understand basic french but i don’t speak cos nobody to speak to and to correct and all my accent and intonation is phailure so i don’t open mouth unless i need to..)

pinot noir – black pine

sauvignon (sauvage – duh – savage – ) blanc – wild white

ok lar i guess….
