While waiting Will comes back to go out, i decided to update my blog for keeping my readers to visit my site. It is horrible to seeing the daily view rate dropping everyday.
I have got several to update bout, but i decided this come first, i assume friends in NZ is waiting for this post / photos, as the usual me, i'm not uploading photos to my facebook, so much work and i'm lazy.
Alright, the kiwi season runs from March to June, while the repacking season's running from June to October. June is only couple days away and people in the packhouse is getting less, although i'm working with the repacking team and will be staying until July, but some of my teammates are decided to carry on to their journey, leaving the packhouse and go for the next destination.
We know each other not for a long time but the friendship build, some teammate has plan for an outing but our supervisor is not convenience to join, so she suggested to have dinner together before the packing season end.
There in this Thursday night, the whole ECPI team (repacking team) including the forklift drivers and stalkers gathered in Mt. Maunganui for buffet dinner in a Chinese restaurant.
We reached there an hour earlier, we decided to hang out in the cinema nearby, of course not watching movie but VISIT the cinema in NZ. Well the ticker is pretty costy, $16 per ticker, i can go gold class in malaysia with this price.

Then we walked to the reserved restaurant, Kwang Chow Chinese Restaurant, some of the people are there, but our supervisor wasn't there yet, again we kicked start the dinner with photography section first.

Random food photo
I was't dare enough to took photo of the choose of food there, i feel bit embarrassed while the rest are taking their food but i standing in the middle to take photo, although some people did.
Oh yea, perhaps you wonder the detail of the buffet, if you were in NZ too. The restaurant mainly serve Chinese style food, anything you can think of the white man would love to, like sweet and sour pork, lemon chinese, fried spring roll and chicken, fried noodle and rice, but i found something that really worth to have as much as possible, the fried mussel.
Mussel here is fresh and yummy, i kind of scared the fishy smell but the mussel here wasn't taste fishy at all, fresh and juicy even though it is in deep fried style, serve together with the sweet and sour source is just simply delicious.
Other than typical chinese food, they do have a salad and sushi bar, sashimi prawn and sushi roll are available, 2 choose of soups and dessert too.
My mates love their roast pork (Char Siew) the most, well it just so-so for me, i prefer the fried mussel still. Haha
And the buffet dinner is $19.90 per person, not too pricey with variety choice of foods, just i cant eat what i pay, i mean i cant eat much, i full in one and half plate, and i'm not taking any rice or noodle. Issh..
But the main thing of the night wasn't food, is photography. As usual i love to take candid, and Emily with her bombastic DSLR camera, i cant think of a reason to let Xiao P be the main camera of the night.
But Xiao P did, 'caused Emily was saying that she lazy to do the setting and all that, hahahahaha. Hey lady, then you shouldn't have a DSLR but compact la wei!

Great night we had, and this bringing us to the end, almost. Make me wonder this is the 2nd month i have been here. 2 months, without my concern and its passing away.
I've no idea where we'll be going after the July, i so used to the routine life i having in Tauranga, i make so many local and international friends in this town, and some of them are leaving, some of them are waiting the next batch of backpacker for the next kiwi season, and i don't know where i will going for the next, nor who will i meeting in the next, but at this moment i feel hard to moving forward.
Anyway, i'm happy to be here, indeed i am.
