Happy Birthday Singapore! Today marks the 44th birthday of my country, and also the 64th year since the city of Nagasaki was bombed to pieces.
We are all in Queenstown now, the land of extreme sports. Just had dinner 2 hours ago, same stuff as yesterday. EK and S are on talking terms now, so everything is back to normal. = )
EK drove the 2 hours leg to Queenstown this morning and we arrived slightly past noon. We checked in the first cheap motel we could find, a 2 bedroom apartment at "Colonial Village". Our landlord for the next 3 nights is a Korean man who keeps thinking Singapore is in China.. Sigh..
The apartment is pretty decent with electric blankets, good heaters, TV and a nice kitchen. Plus they provide FREE wireless internet! Yay! = )
When we checked in, K also booked our tour to Milford Sound on Tuesday morning. Hope everything will remain normal for the next 2 days so our trip don't get disrupted!
We explored Queenstown city after checking in and unloading our luggage. For lunch, K and I went for Mexican, while EK and S went for Thai. Lunch was delicious but a tad expensive for the small portions they served.. I had Enchiladas while K had Quesadillas.. = )
Me wearing a bright pink Mexican hat that the restaurant provided for their customers..
After lunch, K went back to the apartment to take his handphone, while EK, S and I went shopping at a small mall.. We got bored after a while so decided to shop outside on the streets instead. We ended up having award winning waffles with 2 scoops of Gelato. haha.. K joined us not long after the waffle was served.. otherwise he would have missed out on the delicious dessert! = )
What followed after was more aimless wandering along the streets and window shopping. I was looking for maternity clothes, specifically a new pair of pants to make me feel less uncomfortable. In fact, I have been desperately trying to buy some new pants. I have reached the stage where not only can i NOT button my pants, i can't even zip them halfway. So basically, i am wearing all my pants without buttoning and zipping. So half the time, it's like falling off as I walk. So uncomfortable!!
K and I popped into a few shops but to no avail. Either too expensive, or too ugly. I was finally saved by Glassons, where I bought a pair of stretch elastic black leggings for a cheap $25. I wasted no time at all and wore it on the spot. What a big difference!! Looks like i am stuck with this one pair of leggings for the next one week before i go back to Singapore! = (
