Gosh! Been so busy and tired lately that I didn't have a time to update my "diary". Lotsa stuff or shitz happened this 2 week. *sheeesh* I don't even know how to begin. Let's see if I can recall all of it.
13 October 2015 (Tuesday)
Woke up in the morning and our supervisor called saying work is cancelled due to the rain. So, as usual, I informed the others and Paul said he is eager to work because he bought a new hat to go to work. T___T
Since there's no work, roomie and I decided to hang out at Ai Wen and Mus's place to cook some Malaysian dish. Craving for nasi lemak, but we can only have curry chicken for now.
This week is 'Meat Week', hence, all the meat were very very cheap (because it's near to expiry). We bought 2 lamb shoulder, which only cost NZD 1.99 each!!! WHAT A DEAL?!?!
Before start cooking, we played a little bit with the girls and seriously, they are hyper-active!!!!
Introducing....:
14 October 2015 (Wednesday)
Back to work, this time i put counterpain before I start work and it works real good! Like I don't feel pain at all.
Peter decided to try to make pizza. If it works, then he is going to make a huge pizza for all 8 people in the house. ^_^
16 October 2015 (Friday)
Craig invited us for BBQ at his place after work. It's so nice of him to always treat us with nice food.
17 October 2015 (Saturday) - 28 October 2015 (Wednesday)
*goshhhh* Lotsa shitz happened this 2 weeks. Mus, Ai Wen, Sze Man, Jordan and Aviv left. I move to Wellington Street to stay with Alex and Esther. The reason why Jordan and Aviv left is because Jordan hurt her back from bud thinning. As for Mus, Ai Wen and Sze Man, let's say this Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Malay and Asian in totality is being discriminated here. So, after a huge argument with Khan, they decided to quit and go back to Auckland.
Flammkuchen night with Alex and Esther to wish farewell for Mus, Ai Wen and Sze Man.
My roomie is going back to Auckland!!~ *sobzz*
Hot weather made my hand tanned and it's only my hand. *weird*
Then, I have to make flammkuchen for Peter and he doesn't like instant food. Hence, need to do from the pastry. *sheeesh* The undomestic goddess is in the kitchen again! But I think it was a good try. At least, it is edible! ^_^
Rob bought us can drinks as we worked until 6.30pm.
I made onigiri for lunch and Craig cooked us some stewed beef! *yummilicious*
Public holiday on 26 October 2015 and the 2 shared houses decided to go to the town for lunch and head to the wharf for fishing! It was a good off day, well spent!
29 October 2015 (Thursday)
Mel made the biggest mistake! My temporary roomie now is a German guy, who is 18 years old. T__T Well, he is going to be here until Saturday only and on Monday, Hannah is going to be my roomie! *weeeee* Hopefully things turn out well for both of us. She is a sweet, young thing from Netherland.
Clement from our work place, invited us for a drink at Slim Bar tonight and we thought why not?? But we didn't expect was to walk under the rain to get to the town. It was ok until we went in to the bar and I tried ginger beer. Guess what?!?!? It's alcohol-free. T___T
Yeapz! So, I am totally fine and sober. After 2 hours of conversation with the French, I realised I got no talent in learning French at all. I can't even pronounce Bruno's name in French. I ended up calling him Bruno as it is, but he said he will change it to Jason for my sake. =__="
30 October 2015 (Friday)
Today was freezing cold!!~ I already wore like 4 layers of clothes and yet I am still shivering cold. Having mixed feelings as I wanted the work to end early, yet I don't want it to end early, because now I have an objective! I wanna earn enough to buy a car! *yey*
Anyhoo, for those who are in Malaysia or any South East Asia countries, please appreciate the sun. I never once did but today because of the wind and everything I really pray for the sun to come up. In addition to that, my job depends on the weather, hence, I need the sun.
Came home today and found 3 big bags of food outside the house. Craig left us a cabbage, lotsa oranges and lotsa walnut. Then, the neighbour's grapefruit trees dropped a lot of food at our garden as well. *gosh* I can't get enough of this awesome food! And Craig is like THE BEST neighbour ever!
31 October 2015 (Saturday)
Happy Halloween!!~ Went to the Town Centre to visit the Halloween event and all the kids dressed up! So cute of them. All the food and drinks were expensive, but I decided to tried one, sweet potato with kale.
Until next time!
Luv,

*Vain-pot*
Since there's no work, roomie and I decided to hang out at Ai Wen and Mus's place to cook some Malaysian dish. Craving for nasi lemak, but we can only have curry chicken for now.
Grocery shopping at the only supermarket in town, New World.
Guess what I found?!?! Pink salt!! So cuteeeeeee!!!
This week is 'Meat Week', hence, all the meat were very very cheap (because it's near to expiry). We bought 2 lamb shoulder, which only cost NZD 1.99 each!!! WHAT A DEAL?!?!
Went home after shopping to have lunch and then walk over to their place.
Before start cooking, we played a little bit with the girls and seriously, they are hyper-active!!!!
Introducing....:
Asia, Iceland, Sweden and Tokyo. (Please ignore Mus)
and also Milo!
At 6 ish, time's to make our dinner!!! Obviously I only stand aside and snap pictures. And perhaps d the dishes later on.
fried by Mus.
Ai Wen prepared the curry, based on pinterest's education and Craig said it's too spicy. LOL!
*tadaaaaa* it was a S-U-C-C-E-S-S-!!!!!
We even invited Alex and Esther (2 backpackers from Germany)
My first, group-fie!
Back to work, this time i put counterpain before I start work and it works real good! Like I don't feel pain at all.
Lunch time and "smoker time" is the only time I can talk. *precious*
We over-cooked the pasta this time. I feel like viking eating this plate of pasta for dinner.
Our cereal box gave us some craft to do. Final product after all the cuttings.
It makes my nasi lemak looks so much more delicious. HAHAHAHA!!~
15 October 2015 (Thursday)
More bud thinning today and it's going to last for weeks. My partner today is actually very efficient and fast. What makes work nicer is having buds war with Florian. And yes, I am the oldest among all! Florian decided to join another contractor and we won't be seeing him in the orchard anymore.
>.<
Funny thing about my partner is he just came to me and talk very seriously, "Look, the bird is sleeping" @___@ I don't know what expression to give him but I laughed until my tummy pain.
ABC Soup!!!!!! *the best*
Peter decided to try to make pizza. If it works, then he is going to make a huge pizza for all 8 people in the house. ^_^
Obviously it works!! SO PIZZA NIGHT!!

Craig invited us for BBQ at his place after work. It's so nice of him to always treat us with nice food.
Watching the stars while having a can of bourbon and coke. There's the only thing you can find in Craig's refrigerator.
I'm a total failure in bike. It can't move no matter how much I twist the accelerator.
The kids learned a new game today, "Helang tangkap Ayam" - translated "Hawk catching the chics"
*goshhhh* Lotsa shitz happened this 2 weeks. Mus, Ai Wen, Sze Man, Jordan and Aviv left. I move to Wellington Street to stay with Alex and Esther. The reason why Jordan and Aviv left is because Jordan hurt her back from bud thinning.

Last day craze in the orchard!
Got stucked in the orchard and supposed to walk home, but thank goddness for Craig that he came and picked us up or else we need to walk for 3 hours.
The cows are really scary!
It's pizza night!!~ Peter made us all pizza but I helped to roll the pastry. I think we did a pretty good job. ^_^
Flammkuchen night with Alex and Esther to wish farewell for Mus, Ai Wen and Sze Man.
My roomie is going back to Auckland!!~ *sobzz*
