C'est LA viE

haha today indeed, definitely was a good day!=) I was so happy today, had heaps of fun...

had a well rest last night, and paya's mood also seems getting better, yes, look how I was so easily influenced by others....(good or bad?)

we decided to go to lower hutt for a vegetarian lunch, while walking down from basin reserve, I just realized courtney place was closed for the rugby fan zone, wow, first time saw a very empty courtney place.....haha...

And guest what, the south african team's bus just passed by front of us, and there were players inside the bus, haha but our reaction was so low tone, as we were more tempting for irish~

There were 2 semi finals held in this weekend, today was ireland vs. wales, and tomorrow is south african vs. aussie...Therefore, there were so many foreign fans everywhere! Wellington was just so hit this weekend!!

well, not only courtney place, the bus service was also influenced, many stops had been transferred, and yes we were so blurred, and missed alot of buses, so eventually we reached lower hutt around 1pm, with a very empty gut~ *scream*!! haha, luckily I had frappucino from starbucks earlier....

The nature vegetarian food restaurant opened by Malaysians is very tasty, i kinda homesick....gosh~

I ordered Malaysian vegetarian nasi lemak, and I really come into suprised! As I really hate vegetarian food, ok dont get me wrong, I respect vegetarians, and I love vege, I just hate those vegetarian food made by flour which purposely mimic the meat product.....for me, I really dont think it is necessary, and flour! Gosh, evil carbs~ haha, although I used lot of flour for baking. Ok, back to the topic, the "chicken" made by flour really awesome, crispy outside, with very fresh texture and flavor, yum! But it only got 6 small pieces, I guest it was very tough to make them right?

And look at the heart shaped rice, omg, so beautiful!

and here a little appetizers, wonton on the left, and vegetarian curry puff on the right, again very good texture~

and paya ordered a bowl of curry noodles, and look at the unique and authentic chinese tea bowl~ I missed home TT

Then after lunch, we took bus back to city, there should be a dance event at Courtney place, while waiting, we went to butlers cafe for affogato~

affogato is paya's favourite, is like 2 scoops of ice cream served within a hot espresso (photo below)~ and the best service with butlers is they always give a free chocolate with your order~ nice <3 I had ordered seasalt caramel chocolate

I had ordered a chocolate affogato, which was on top, and I thought it meant ice cream in hot chocolate, but I was very wrong, they just mean add more chocolate syrup into the normal affogato~ Gosh, the coffee was so strong, and for sure is coffee! I am not sure whether I was able to drink coffee or not as I do not drink them. Yep, I drank mocha frappucino from starbucks before, and also did drink hot coffee which made by myself in very unusual condition (for example, strongly forced by someone, or no other options). But then, the coffee I made was so mild~

So this time, I guaranteed, for sure, I am NOT ABLE to drink coffee, after one tsp, omg, I felt dizzy, headache....asleep....my god~

So eventually paya helped me finished the whole cup! But anyway, I did enjoy this high tea =)

Then we also received a free rugby shaped chocolate from the friendly Butlers waiter, he was giving out free rugby chocolate! Yup, wellington was so crowded, and all rugby fans just so high and tempted for the semi final...No matter they were heading to the stadium or not, they were for sure, very enjoyed the atmosphere, same like us!! 

so we actually dint see the dance event, as we waited and waited but just dint happen, anyway, we saw many different fans!! They dressed up so fun, and funky, and unique!! Just really interesting to see their emotion and madness! haha

ok today was mostly wales and irish fans, see wales fans (in red) were so little, and they faced so many irish fans (in green), but they were standing for their team so desperately, everyone just so high!

haha, the irish bar of cz support it own team! Impressed by the giant doll~

courtney place was closed, people were walking freely on the road~ rugby fans everywhere~

and a group of irish fans, on their way to the stadium, passed by courtney place, see how they dressed up, with their irish flags, and green wig~~ haha, they were singing the whole way, with very high passion!!

and of cz, this was the madness I meant! Luckily is not summer yet~

Then, was dinner time, I had my dinner at Cha at courtney, yep we dint watch the ireland vs. wales game, just watched abit intro and opening, and saw a very charming wales player, omg, was like the first time i fell for western people! akakaka, actually I was willing to watch ireland and wales, but paya was more falling for france, so we decided to have dinner first.

I dint take photo this time, but had a great dinner, very full!!!! haha, and we also found out from others, ya news just spreaded, wales won!! OMg, this was not what I expected~ I dint mean that I want ireland win, was just I dunno wales was that strong, wow!! Thumbs up!!

So, we moved back to the fan zone at courtney place after dinner, see the big screen! The weather is abit drizzling, but was alright to stand at outdoor..

was empty in the photos cz I captured like 20mins before the game (england vs france), but very soon, everyone just come after their dinner, yes cz they went for dinner after wales won. Then when the game started, more fans from stadium just moved back to the fan zone~

and the atmosphere definitely getting higher and higher, French fans seems like dominated the courtney place fan zone, not sure the same situation happened at water front or not. And yes, french team was very "lucky" to have many tries.....yes, cz too many people claimed that they were weak team. But I actually willing england to win....and some people at the fan zone, or probably there were more, just they were too quiet, or mayb the french fans too hyper~

then, yes no hope for england, they failed to got into semi final~anyway, while watching the game, I noticed a charming good looking guy standing beside paya, omg, haha i was suprised that I actually started look at foreign guys now....

But he really looked good, although I just saw he side looking, but omg, he looked like sonny bill williams haha! with tanned skin, and quite good body shape, and the feel, wow, very good~~

anyway, france won, received text from sophie alle alle blueue! which means go blue team (french team wear blue)

so had a very great night, sweet dream, hope I dream the good looking guy I met just now, wahahaha =D
