Had a job assignment from Providore (the job agency that Shona owns, offering catering services staff to different places) to work at Eden Park Stadium (said to be the official stadium for the 2010 rugby world cup finals to be held, I think) tml. Full attire is needed, so we decided to go to a departmental store called The Farmers (what a weird name) to get our cheap white long sleeves shirts and a black tie. I think we missed the first bus timing that we were supposed to take, so ended up waiting for the bus for 40-50 minutes. Zzzz. Thats HELL!!! Imagine stoning at the bloody bus stop for so long with nothing to do. Glad that at least there is a companion to chat with. In SG, if I were to wait for a bus for more than 10 mins I will probably be complaining about it. The longest ever was to wait for 30 mins, which I already think is ridiculous. Here you have to wait for approx. 1 hour for a bus to come and yet you have to pay ridiculous prices like 4.80 bucks for one bus trip. I miss the buses in SG!!!
When we got to Newmarket, where all the bigger departmental stores are located at, we could only find WHITE long sleeves shirts for an average of 79.90 - 99.90 bucks. WTH? So we decided to go to The Farmers, which is said to sell one of the cheapest stuff. And yeah! We manage to find a shirt (comes with a bloody ugly tie that we dont need) for 24.99 bucks and a black tie for 16.99 bucks.
Dinner is baked potatoes and pumpkin with lamb. Tastes pretty good. I think I must learn to cook a few Kiwi dishes before going back to SG. Then can impress my mum!! Haha.
Dang!! I think I forgot the pin code for my bank's ATM card. Urgh. Think there is a need to go back and look for Erikk. Zzzz. Now I am left with 30 bucks to last me till Wednesday. Oh well. =\
