K and I have been having good and nutritious food for lunch everyday ever since Ah Ming agreed to cook for us. There's always meat and vegetables, and sometimes soup, with cooked rice of course.
Yesterday, we had herbal chicken soup and fried eggs and vegetables. K aske Ah Ming for recipe on cooking herbal soup, cause he is still with the belief that i am pregnant so he wants to make some nutritious soup for me. Ah Ming was nice enough to cook the soup for lunch a few days later.. haha.. = )
Work was until 430pm yesterday. It was another crazy day for me. After about 2 hours of work in the morning, i was transferred from the packing line to do pre-grading. Basically, grading is where the kiwi fruits gets checked for flaws and poor quality before it goes onto the conveyor belt for packing. Pre-grading is the very first stage of quality checks before the kiwis goes into the line for grading. So i had to stand on a platform and look at thousands and thousands of kiwis rolling over in front of my eyes on the conveyor belts. My job was to pick out the bad ones and throw them away. I was like throwing 100 kiwis evert 5 minutes i think!! And after about 2 hours, i was completely giddy from all the scanning. I nearly fell down when i started to walk to go for my break cause of the giddiness.. I complained to K during the lunch break and he offered to switch places with me. And so after the lunch break, i went back to packing.
During the afternoon tea break, i couldn't find K. The 2 aunties who were working at the same area as him saw me and told me that my husband is giddy. I got a bit worried so went to look for him in the car. Usually, we will head out to the car during our tea breaks to get some warmth from the sunshine. And there he was.. he looked half dead.. and i couldn't help but laugh.. haha.. very mean i know! = P
Luckily for us, the day ended early yesterday. Ah Ming invited us for dinner at his house, so after work, we went supermarket shopping. We took the opportunity to pay cause they have been really nice to us, cooking lunch for us and all. And always giving us snacks, fruits and sweets!
After the supermarket, K and I left and went to look for an internet cafe, while Ah Ming and Adreana headed home to cook. They refused to let us go back with them to help with the cooking. Eventually, K and I couldn't find the internet cafe. We ended up parking somewhere and sleeping in the car. Around 6pm, we headed to Ah Ming's house.
We had steamboat for dinner. It was another super delicious meal. Ah Ming had cooked Tom Yum soup, and there were so much ingredients. Mee pok noodles, meat balls, fish balls, fish cake, prawns, mushrooms, sweet corn, vegetables etc etc.. Once again, totally unexpected. I would never have thought i will be having steam boat in someone's home here in New Zealand!! haha.. For dessert, we had home cooked steaming hot green bean soup.. Absolutely delightful.
We chatted ALOT during dinner, and the two of them kept pushing stuff to us.. food, packet ingredients, chocolates. They had a few friends from Malaysia who overstayed and were deported back. So all the food stuff that their friends bought are now stuck at their house. It was really a lot of food.. Around 9pm, we headed to our contractor's house to collect our pay check. So now, K and I are slightly richer.. haha.. Just slightly cause the pay is for one week and collected every Friday. We only worked like 2.5 days last week so.. = (
Work was until 230pm today. For some reason, it was super cold today.. and i got so uncomfortable that i was so happy when the supervisor wrote on the black board that we are knocking off at 230pm! After work, K and I went shopping at the nearby mall.. For dinner, we had Chinese buffet.. not too bad... I had goreng pisang.. haha.. another nice surprise..
There are a whole bunch of teenager boys who just checked in this morning into the guest house.. and they are making so much noise now.. Sigh.. That was the reason why K and I didn't cook, cause our UK couple friend warned us that the kitchen will be very messy tonight because of the boys. Luckily they are only staying for one night.! = )
K and I just had a long call with our tenant. This was after a whole series of emails and complaints from our 2 tenants. They is a huge tension between our 2 tenants now.. and it has grown so bad that one is threatning to beat up the other, and the other is wanting to make a police report move out. Sigh.. We have asked K's mom to help with this, hopefully everything will be settled soon. Really worried they will damage my house man!! I rather not have the rental money than to have my lovely house in ruins because of 2 childish men... Is it really so hard for 2 men to live together? I thought usually they will just ignore each other and go about doing their own thing .. i wonder why like that.. Really so suay choose the wrong tenant..
So far, this is the first time. Everytime we rent out our room, our tenants are all very nice people. Maybe because this time it's the first time we rent out 2 rooms. And we are not around.. Hai.. Anyway, tomorrow will be our last day at the packhouse. Then we are moving off again!! Can't wait.. = )
