yea, I went up to Hamilton again this yr labour weekend...for the same purpose - meeting Jessie
I miss her so much, so felt quite excited to be able to see her again!
Was supposed to take the overnight bus up to Hamilton like last year, but my current condition was not really able to overcome the long ride on bus
Although i actually lost my money for the bus ticket, I was still happy to be able to catch a flight up to Akl, and then caught the intercity bus at Manukau
Anyways, it was an adventure for me, lol.
It was my first time catching bus from Akl airport to Manukau city, surprised to know that the Manukau bus is so much cheaper compared to the airbus (connecting airport to city centre)
I nearly missed the intercity bus, my flight was delayed, and I only have 2 chances to catch the Manukau bus if I arrived on time.
Yet, I actually arrived quite on time despite of the 15min delays, I think Akl airport really likes me, I always rush in this airport!! (Recalled what I have done last time when back from Sydney, ran like a freaking mad lady....!!!)
The Manukau bus just come across me once I got out from the terminal, thank god!!! I was super lucky!! I caught the 1st chance!!
Then, the remains journey to Hamilton from Manukau city was very smoothly, got to take a small nap on the bus (was waking up like 5 ish becz I took the earliest flight to Akl)
Jessie came to pick me up and we spent a good time for lunch at this recently opened restaurant named 重庆小吃
Food was quite tasty, just very oily....and we really underestimated our stomach, thought that we were able to finish all these dishes!!
It was hard for me too as I am having a hard condition atm....hmmm...travelling making 'business' hard.
Anyways, I supposed to enjoy instead!
Went to The Base Shopping Plaza later after lunch, I did lots of shopping again!!!
looks up the clothes I tried on!! I had to say, Palmy is really tiny compared to Hamilton, you can straight away spot the difference while shopping in the same shop, the Glasson, Temt, Cotton On....etc have so many varieties and stocks here!!!
One of the reason I couldnt stop myself buying clothes was because Jessie kept on teasing me that she still able to come and buy her dream dress when the price got down but not for me as I am not living in Hamilton. Good one, Jessie!
I am broke, but I am happy =) I bought the first 2 clothes, and another one which was not captured. I tried on the last one (purple dress) bcz I have one that very similar, but in white color. I love this purple one so much! But, I ald have one that similar, well, my dear purple dress, let me just keep u in memories...==
and just spotted this merry-go-round at the outdoor of The Base.
Soon after that, we decided to have something, my sharp vision (haha, I am proud of it!) spotted the ice-cream store at upstairs beside the cinema, then we just gone for one!
The chocolate-mint gelato is so yummy, I am not a fan of mint but I have to say it was really good!
Basically that was the first day upon arrival at Hamilton, Jessie's room is very comfy and her flat just very flash and warm!
Second day
I was super tired today, as we went up to Akl!! No way, I just gone to the same place again after yesterday....
Along with Jessie's flatmates (a sweet couple), four of us drove up to Akl for shopping, a very random decision made upon my arrival yesterday.
the road was so familiar for me, couldnt believe that I just have done a return trip within 24 hrs...==
Too bad the weather was real bad, but we had a great dim-sum at Greenlane...
Then, we went to Hannah's outlet to see if we could get any cheap and beautiful shoes, eventually we dint ==
We headed back to city centre for cellphone which Jessie's flatmate wanted, this was also the main reason we come to Akl
However, I guess we were disorganised, the shop was closed on Sunday. Hmmm....
It was a very bad day, the sweet couple just lost their interest instantly, and just not enjoying what else they could get in Akl
Jess and I were just helpless with that, and it was not fun at all to shop with them as they were very moody and feeling bored.
I still think that it would be better if Jess and I refused this 'passionate' trip invitation and stay in Hamilton instead.
Not mentioned that I fall down and hurt my elbow while running across the wet and slipper road in Akl city centre!! OMG, is super embrassing!!
anyways, I got something special today,
Is my fortune chocolate!! By taking action now you will succeed!!! I guess it really mean something to me =)
And I got a very deep and long chat with Jess this night, she is such a good frens, her advices were so meaningful for me.
Last day!
I was actually quite dissapointed, I missed the Zealong tea house!!!
It was closed on Labour day!!! I should have come on my first day of arrival....so super dissapointed!
I was craving for their famous high tea set for so long time, omg, just cant wait to get myself back there again!!
We went to a Taiwanese restaurant instead (the Japanese restaurant which is my second option also closed!)
Got this dessert, deep fried ice cream after our mains.
The conversation last night actually continued today, somehow Jessie's words really inspired me, and motivated me..
I guess is time for a change. Keeps follow my coming posts, my followers....^^
Lastly, before leaving back to Hamiton, I went back to Hamilton Garden again, just recalled the memories we had one yr ago
time flies, and changes so much! The garden actually remains the same condition, every corner is still so familiar to me, the only difference is the changes of ourselves.
There were 5 of us last yr, and now just only Jess and I. I have to say 物似人非。。。
Then we headed to airport, Jess brought me to this cool outdoor cafe located on the way to Hamilton airport
We had a delicious home-made berries frozen yoghurt! Oh my, it was my second scoop of cold dessert today!
SO that's my Hamilton labour weekend, it was really nice to catch up with Jessie again, and I am happy that she is developing her career and turning back to the strong and modern lady again! Keep it up, my dear fren!
Will see u on yr big graduation day!! Til that, take care!
just realized the departure fee from Palmy airport had been cancelled, but also realized I need to pay NZD5 of departure fee at Hamilton airport....==
