We basically lazed around at home again today, with the rain continuing into its 3rd day today. Ah Ming fried luncheon meat with eggs this morning. So i had banana cake and luncheon meat with bread for breakfast today. Ah Ming had to submit his application for working holiday visa so the 2 of them went out this afternoon. While K and I drove around for a car shop that could renew our car's Warrant of Fitness. We stopped at the first one, and realized that the Warrant of Fitness was not due until the end of July. Apparently, i had gotten the date wrong and set alarm for the wrong day.. hehe.. So we decided to head home.
On the way, K wanted to check out this "Atomic Events Center" place, so we went there and got a guided tour of the center's facilities by one of the ladies working there. This place has an indoor skate park, netall court, basketball court, rooms for watcing movies and even a small cafe. It's basically a place run mainly on government funding, by volunteers, for youth to hang out and participate in the many activities that the center organizes. K was very inspired by the success of this "Atomic Events Center", cause this is precisely what RAAD ! (which K started few years back) was about, but RAAD! never took off.
Anyway, we reached home around 4pm. Ah Ming and A weren't back yet. So we decided to start watching a DVD and make some food to munch on. K had the cold pasta and sausages, and i had oven baked hash browns, cheezels and caramel coated pop corn. Super unhealthy, i know! = P
Just finished 3 rounds of mahjong with K, Ah Ming and A. We had dinner at home again today (not that i am complaining!). Ah Ming made chicken herbal soup, which was so sweet and delicious i was literally lifting up the entire bowl to finish every drop of the soup. He also stir fried vegetables in a different style this time, with anchovies and wolf berries. And last but not least, pan fried chye poh omelette, requested by yours truly. = ) And as usual, i wrote all the recipes down in my little blue notebook.. Ah Ming is so nice, he always asked us what we want to eat. So i kinda get to choose one dish every time lah.. Sometimes i choose, sometimes i don't. Don't want to choose every time lah, not so nice.. it's not as if he's my personal chef or something right?!
After dinner, we had green and golden kiwi fruits and bananas for dessert. Then about 2 hours later, we had piping hot steamed kacang puteh as a snack while playing mahjong. I never ever imagined i would be able to enjoy kacang puteh (of all things) in New Zealand. So that was a really nice treat for me! = )
I think we all ate too much tonight. In fact, i was so full i had difficulty breathing. So the boys made tea for us to digest.
The weather forecast predicted rain again tomorrow, so Ah Ming and K sat down and planned for tomorrow's activities just now. Not sure what they have in mind, but definitely looking forward to it! = )
