Onehunga Wharf Fishing #1

Last two weeks we went to Onehunga Wharf to fish. It was my first time fishing and I was quite excited ^^ Onehunga is located approximately 25 min drive from Auckland city centre. We departed from home around 3pm but after 40 mins of drive and a couple of wrong turns, we still couldn't find the fishing spot. We ended up asking one passer by on the street which directed us to Mangere beach. We decided to give it a shot and when we arrived, all of us were really excited as along the bridge there were heaps of people fishing!

We were thinking that this must be a good fishing spot and the weather was beautiful that day so we would surely get some fishes. Kk, Don and Daren wasted no time in setting up their rods and off they go.

Daren was acting ''cool'' in the car :p


Our bait - squid

Daren again ''acting cute'' :p

As the weather was really sunny, all of us wore t-shirt and shorts, but the wind turn up to be pretty strong and it gotten pretty chilly after a while. After about 2 hours of fishing, we still couldn't get any fish. Daren and I decided to take a walk and take some photos.

While walking, we saw some jelly fishes...



At last, we ended up going home empty handed. As all of us were hungry, we went back to Auckland city to have our dinner. We went to the Wong Kok Char Chan Teng and ordered the famous dish there - hokkien mee. We also ordered fish as we couldn't get any fish that day haha...

Nice but still lose to the hokkien mee in Malaysia ^^

Fried bean sprout

Spicy fried chicken

Sweet and sour fish

The food there was quite delicious but I was really disappointed as the service was quite bad. After dinner, we went home as everyone was really tired.

Anniversary + New Year Eve in Auckland

31 December is a very special day for me and Daren as we started our relationship on this day 2 years ago ^^ Last year we didn't manage to celebrate it as Daren came back to Malaysia in January. This year, I was so happy that I could celebrate it with Daren and it was a memorable day for me......

Yesterday Daren planned to bring me to the La Porchetta, an Italian restaurant to have dinner. When we almost reaching the restaurant, I took a photo of the restaurant happily

and went inside BUT..................... it was closed!! The shop was so crowded until they have to close it for a moment. We then decided to go to the nearest Japanese restaurant to eat. Many people were still waiting in the shop when we left..

At last, we had our dinner at Daikoku. There was many people and we waited like 40 minutes to get our food...

Mine - Eel on rice

His - Tuna sashimi on rice

Crumbed prawn - super nice!!

After finish eating, we went home to have some rest..

After that, we went to Skycity for new year countdown. There were so many people on the street and the road was blocked.

After the fireworks finished, we went home as Daren got work today. The street was still full of people when we went home...


I hope I can celebrate this special day with Daren for many years to come ^^
