K and I met up with Pui again on Wednesday. We went to the One Tree Hill for some gorgeous scenery and saw a lot of sheep on the way uphill.. My first sheep sighting!! I was so excited! = )
The strange thing about the One Tree Hill is.. There's supposed to be one tree on the hill, but the locals said the tree had been cut down by the Maori , so there are no more trees on the hill. But when we went up there, there were plenty of trees... so not sure about the whole background story there..
After One Tree Hill, we headed to this Malaysian restaurant that Pui's cousin in law had recommended for its Nasi lemak. The place was packed. We were fortunate to find a parking lot AND a table before the crowd started streaming in. I had Hainanese chicken rice, K had Nasi Lemak and Pui had chicken rendang with coconut rice. It was decent, although not what I had expected. I think I had set my expectations too high. Was hoping it will taste like those in Singapore!! So no, I still have not satisfied my craving for Nasi Lemak yet.. = P
After lunch, we continued with our search for my pair of perfect boots. Went to the NZ No. 1 Shoes clearance store at St. Lukes. I didn't buy anything, but Pui ended up buying a pair of Navy Blue PVC boots for a super cheap price of $10. Can you imagine?!! So cheap right!! After St. Lukes, we dropped Pui off cause she had to pick up her cousin in law and niece from work and school. We were invited for dinner at her place before we bring go out again after dinner.
So K and I headed to Dressmart and shopped there for 2 hours. There, my shopping spree began. I bought a pair of dark brown cargo pants from Glassons for $8. Ridiculous price. And that was the only reason why K would let me buy.. = ) We headed to Pui's place for dinner around 6pm.
Dinner was totally yummy. Pui and her cousin had prepared stir fried cauliflower with carrots, corn and chinese sausages, tom yam soup, fish ball soup, meat and spring onion omelette (my fave!) and stewed pork with potatoes! I totally enjoyed my dinner tonight.. One of the best!! = )
Pui and I washed up the dishes after dinner (hated that part), and her cousin cut some really juicy apples for dessert. After that, we headed out again to Sylvia Park to shop. We met Pui's niece for the first time today, cause the last few times we went over, she was in school. Her niece is only 20 months old, but she could already feed herself so well. I was so amazed, cause my 5 year old niece cannot even sit down and finish her entire dinner without whining. K says it's all dependent on how the parents train the kid. I must make sure my kids are as independent next time!!
My shopping spree continued after dinner at Sylvia Park. I bought 2 thick woollen hoodies for $40, one ¾ long knit top for $15 and K bought 2 berms for $30. We headed back home around 9pm, me a very satisfied girl that night !! = )
