Happy New Year

, , , ...


24th January 2009 - Vienna
This is going to be a cool birthday party from the radio station FM4. It's already soldout, luckily I got the tickets on the first day of ticket sale.

Well have a happy new year everyone!

couldn't believe it when I woke up yesterday morning, it's snowing in Vienna... damn. So we waited a while before we headed for brunch in Amerlingbeisl... didn't really want to walk on the dirty snowy streets at all... Unfortunately it didn't stop so we had no choice but to get out  At first we wanted to go to Das Möbel but the place was so full, so we went to Amerlingbeisl for the breakfast buffet instead. It was really yummy, Helena's sis and her daughter Katharina joined us later on, can't believe she's so big now, a few years back she's only a tiny baby.

   

The highlight of the weekend was of course Arcade Fire's concert in the Gasometer. These Canadians were amazing in the concert, the energy, the powerful music and their talent. They're unique in every way. People got so excited and everyone around me was dancing along the songs. "Intervention" still had that kind of emotional effect on me, just like the time when I heard it. No one really wanted the gig to end...

Funny enough when we were driving back home, once we got out of Vienna, the sun was shining brightly, no strong wind or whatsoever. I even managed to get back to Carinthia early in the evening so I could have dinner with Wolfgang as I have promised him last week (to celebrate his birthday). I had such a big pizza which was incredible, considered how much I ate at the brunch buffet in Vienna...

Today was pretty good as well, since my boss invited us to have lunch in a Croatian restaurant near Rosental. Gawd I ate too much again, this was what I had:

 

Oh yeah, last Friday our Italian customer invited me and my boss to have dinner at his home in San Daniele (the famous place for Italian ham prosciutto). They made a huge delicious portion of polenta and various food. That was way too much actually.

So starting from tomorrow on I'll be on diet again... How many times I said that already?

Italy & Vienna

My boss has birthday today, so I went shopping in the mall yesterday afterwork. I got him a book about the major wars, since he's always talking about the history about all the wars wherever we went (Italy, Hungary, Belgium, Germany Romania, Croatia, Slovenia etc.). So this one is surely suitable for him. I also did some shopping for myself too a French cookbook, gloves and decorations stuffs for my home... I passed by H&M and saw some clothes from that Roberto Cavalli collection, gawd the women clothes looked pretty bad I have to say... couldn't understand why the people are so crazy about them. The men clothes looked a bit better but they are overpriced...

Anway, I packed the gift nicely this morning:

My boss's happy and he will invite us to lunch in a Croatian restaurant on Monday, which is very good, it means half day work for us all haha.

Too bad that later today we'll need to drive down to Italy, a customer invites us to dinner... so my weekend will start later... still I'm looking forward to Arcade Fire's concert in Gasometer/Vienna tomorrow. Just hope the weather won't be that stormy in Vienna anymore...
