A Very Warm Day

Yesterday was the warmest day i have experienced since i came here. In fact, for the first time, i didn't wear my jacket the entire day i was out. Initially, K and I had planned to stay home because the weather forecasted rain. But when we woke up, the sun was bright and sunny, so we decided to head out, although i was a bit reluctant too, cause i was all prepared to stay at home the whole day.

K had done some research on some of the nature sights / walks we could do nearby. And so after our late breakfast, we headed out. It was 16 degrees outside, and i felt so warm. I wonder how i am going to survive when i get back to the low 30s temperature in Singapore! Sigh...

K and I were supposed to find this nature reserve walk that's about 1 hour out from Napier. But we ended up getting lost and drove around on winding roads on the mountains for 2 hours under the hot sun. I got all giddy and nauseous and felt really uncomfortable. Plus, i was hungry. Then my craziness began and i started arguing with K in the car. The whole thing kind ended when K finally gave up searching for the stupid nature reserve and U-turned back for lunch in Napier. I slept through the journey back.

We had our lunch at the Cafe DMP in Napier town. Apparently, there is a Napier City Sale going on, and the town center was bustling with people. Which was kinda surprising to us cause it's the first time we saw so many shops open. Cause usually, when we go there, the shops there are either closed cause it's after 430pm, or because it's during the weekends. Apparently, it's most happening on weekday afternoons. haha.. so interesting. So we ended up shopping around the town center after lunch. We went to Pumpkin Patch, Baby Factory and Toy World.. all baby stuff. But we didn't buy anything in the end. Figured i'll do my shopping back in Singapore, or at least when i know the gender of my baby. When i was in Toy World, i met this little boy who gave me his rubber ball.. He was just so adorable!

After our shopping, we decided to head home to make dinner. On the way back, we detoured into Cape Kidnappers, a tourist attraction. But we didn't get to see anything, cause apparently, we can only get to the cape via a 5 hour walk or by tour group. K did however, make friends with a Malaysian Chinese guy who happened to have parked his car there for a smoke.

By the time we got back, K wasn't feeling too well. Think it must have been all the exposure to the hot sun and dehydration. So he took a nap, while i made dinner: Fried bee hoon and ABC soup.. haha.. We had dinner and watched another DVD: The Kingdom starring Jamie Fox and Jennifer Garner. Fantastic show. One of the better ones so far.

This morning, i woke up at 11plus. Adreana made some pancakes and i had them and banana cake for breakfast. K and I then watched another DVD. We stayed in the motel for most part of the day.

K's taking his nap now, and i am going for a walk / jog. Get some much needed fresh air! And perhaps think about what to have for dinner later.. These days, i don't seem to have much of an appetite. No cravings, and even my delicious fried bee hoon has failed to satisfy me..

Plus, i am so lazy to cook for myself these days.. sigh.. i wonder what's happening..
