K and I are now at the Devonport public library using their free wireless internet.. Think we will become regulars of the libraries here, which is ironic, because we never go to the library in Singapore!
Yesterday's visit to Devonport was nice.. We climbed up to Mt. Victoria, an extinct volcano, where there was an excellent 360 degrees view of Auckland city.. We had our sandwiches there on top of the mountain.. it was nice.. = )
We left Mt. Victoria after it started to drizzle.. Drove down and parked the car beside the library, then started to stroll along the beach, and the harbour, and the shops along the street..
In the evening, we went to the Northcote Town Center close to where we were staying.. It was like a mini Asian town, with all the Asian supermarkets and restaurants.. There were Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong and Korean stuff. We went into a few of the supermarkets and i was overjoyed to see all the familiar Asian food! I bought my favourite Korean instant noodles and a can of stewed pork for my dinner tonight.. We also saw fishballs, all kinds of Chinese sauces and 3 in 1 coffee mix.. But I still cannot find my 3 in 1 Milo.. i am SOO craving for Milo! Back home, i drink 1 glass of hot Milo everyday, and now i can't even find one packet here.. So sad.. = (
For dinner yesterday, we bought a big packet of $2 fries and made our own Fish and Chips at home. K had hot and spicy Korean instant noodles and sausages. I drank every single drop of the spicy soup from the noodles.. It was yummy. Think i will shorten my lifespan from eating all these instant noodles.. = )
As we were walking along some of the Asian restaurants, we saw one with a notice for hiring waiters so we went in to enquire. Left my number there, even though they only wanted people with waitressing experience in New Zealand. I told the girl that waitressing is the same in every country, and that i had plenty of experience in waitressing in Singapore. Hopefully they will give me a try. K and I will go back to ask again tonight. K suggested to tell them to try me for one week and then pay me whatever they think i am worth. I am still thinking about this idea..
Tonight, K and I will be meeting a Taiwanese girl (we got her contact through the nice Taiwanese couple) to chat. She is also here on working holiday and currently working at a cafe. She will be leaving Auckland on 20th May, so we were hoping we can take over her job at the cafe when she leaves. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
Actually, i also don't know why i want to find a job so urgently. Yesterday, on top of Mt. Victoria, K and I were calculating our finances, and concluded that we would have enough to last us for the 6 months if we live on a budget. I guess i am just bored of doing nothing much everyday.. so rather have a job and meet people.. = )
We will be heading to Parnell today... Told K i want to visit the Rose Gardens.. and hopefully find some cheap and good lunch there.. = )
