24 April 2010

Woke up early and have breakfast! Today is the horse riding day! Edited training and development and met Sandra to go to the carpark together. Nicky, the girl who was suppose to live in room c was there and I did felt abit awark sitting next to her on the van. Did a few conv but then slience just take place for the whole trip -//- (sorry I am a icy person)

We went to the country side and there were lots of horses, cows, sheeps fewer.

Then when we arrive at the place, we were told to sign a document and get a helmet before we can get our horse.

Not white, not brown but a black horse. I was uneasy when I sat on it. Later I learn that her name was surprise! We rode through the hills. The first part was ok as it was those board roads only on occasion where surprise would walk too near to the edge of the hill giving me scares!

The second part were to walk along the hills, up and down the narrow hill paths! And I was like omg! We going down or too near the edge. And I was like hanging on to her ! the second half, I dare not take out my camera to take pictures. At some point of time, I think that she could hear what I felt. I was like omg please dun walk at the edge, at times she walked at the board way instead of following others in a straight line. Did felt bad at times for not trusting her. I was thinking like I know you call surprise, please dun give me surprise now. Hint: horse riding, trust your horse!

I thought she was rough but she did turn out great in the end. A loner at times she is lol!

Well before she went into the farm, did a shot with her and she was like shaking her head lol haha!

Then went to a café to have pizzas! This is the 2 and 3^rd pizza that I have in Auckland lol! We have like ginger cake which is good as I was hungry.

Went to the beach, it was covered in black sand and cos it was 4pm, the sun was setting so the sea was where the sun is and its hard to take pictures.

Went home and was struck in the toilet for an hour to clean my shoes, jackets, jeans and t-shirt. Wore the old one to the trip haha!

25 April 2010

When its Sunday! Its time for the market at ash street. Its open today despite it being a public holiday! Went there to get apples, green latern and have a samsoa lamb snack at $3. It’s a great place for finger food haha!

Then walked to Lim’s market to buy lamb and salmon and then to mt albert shops to sell my toy camera.

Then went home and segment the lamb into parts. First use a spoon to take a piece out then roll it into a meat ball and lay it out. Then went the tray is full, divide the portion to bags. In this case, I used scissors to cut out parts of the plastic bag to store the segments of meat balls. The usual is 5 meatballs to a plastic bag towards the end, there were like 3 6 meatballs in a bag. The lamb mince was on offer and caused like 6 dollars.

After segmenting the meat, I got 13 portions which could last me a month or more then carefully put them into the freezer, dun want them to spilt out lol.

Have a chat with cousin and she told me that mum put ban ban photos on the facebook. He seems whiter but that mischievous nature is still present lol.

Dinner was raw salmon and green latern in the microwave. The salmon will lose a lot of fats in this process haha! But still I prefer them raw!

Then its watching twilight for me and off to bed at 9 plus to 10.
