We had fun during the weekend.
這個周末過的很有意義。也滿有趣的。
Friday:
星期五
Celebrated one of the enciks' birthday, Loga, at Ricky's house. He turned 40 and we had a simple birthday celebration for him. Lots of booze & drinks. The night brought me back to Singapore where it's all so heart-warming.
我們一夥幫一位encik慶祝他的４０歲生日。這晚的感覺好像在新加坡一樣。

星期六
1st stop went to have a look at the garage sale which they normally hold beside the railway track every Saturday and bought a 2-piece (5-seaters) high chairs which set us at US$125. I love it the moment I saw it and Hubby agreed that it's very unique and nice and definitely will blend into our house in Singapore. Hence there goes the moolah.
第一站我們去到火車鐵路軌道旁的市集。這裡只是在軍基地外頭。他們只有在那裡的每逢新期六擺攤。我們買了一對高椅US$125。設計滿特別。

Next we drove up to Boise to meet the rest of the group. Lunch was at the China grand buffet This is the only decent chinese place that I found the taste is to our liking apart from the one we frequent right outside the base called Golden Crown (ok more on Golden Crown later). From there, we proceed to Asia market to get some groceries. No idea why they like to go Asia market so much I prefer Orient market. I will make sure Hubby bring me to Orient market the next time.
過後我們就駕上Boise博伊西跟其他的朋友會合。午餐到了華人餐館用餐。是自助餐式。食物還不錯。結著又回去華人開的超級市場買了一些蔬菜和楊協成的豆奶。

Next, we move on to Nike factory outlet downtown at Meridian with Babies R Us just by the corner. Even though we have went there several times, we don't normally pass by the factory outlet. Bought 2 shorts, 1 fleece pants and 2 tees for myself and Hubby bought 2 tees all for just US$60.
去了Nike的工廠店。這裡買的東西都比外頭來的便宜。我買了２件短褲，１件長褲，２件上衣和坤仔的２件上衣總數只有US$60。很划的來。
Fred Meyer was our next stop but nothing much to buy over there. The group split afterwards and Hubby brought me to the Cheesecake Factory which I have been lamenting to go for a week. The food portion is *cking huge and I need to box each time I go out to eat but.... the cheesecake is delicious!!! Price is mid-range I would say and service is very good. We have personal server to our table.
但大夥解散之後坤仔帶我到一個餐館吃晚餐。這間餐館是出了名他們的乳酪蛋糕。食物的份量特大但是乳酪蛋糕真的很好吃！服務很好有專門伺後我們的服務生。价錢有點貴。

Fried Onion Rings. These were good.
炸洋蔥。好吃。
Hubby's Bang Bang Chicken & Shrimp with mild spicy peanut sauce. This was not bad either.
坤仔點的泰式蝦和雞組合。也滿好吃的。
My pasta bolognese. More on the salty side. Not very nice. Couldn't finish even 1/3 of it.
我點的意大利面太咸。不好吃。
The ever popular traditional cheesecake with fresh strawberries. It was delicious!
草莓乳酪蛋糕。很好吃！
And after dinner, we went to Boise Towne Square mall which is still inside the parameter of where The Cheesecake Factory is and this time, we did some real shopping for ourselves. Hubby bought some stuff from American Eagle and also 1 bodyuit for Keira at Gap for only US$11.00 and for me, I bought 2 tees from Aeropostale as they are on sale 2 for US$20.
吃了飯過後，我們到附近的商店走走。買了一些衣服和寶寶的一件緊身衣褲。很可愛。
US$11.99
By then, it's already 9pm which the shopping mall is about to close and that's when we end our day.
到了９點，我們也累了。這天就這樣途過。
Sunday:
星期天
Had breakfast at home and sent Hubby off for his driving lessons. Alone shopping at Commissary aka the supermarket on base and did some grocery shopping again... His lesson is about 2 hrs hence I decided to drive out of the base and have macdonald's lunch and meet him there straight after.
在家吃了早餐之後送坤仔去上駕駛課。獨自去超市接著到外頭的麥當勞吃午餐等坤仔來跟我會合。
I had a driving test appointment scheduled at 4.30pm and since the time is still early, we decided to drop by Wal-mart and guess what, YES, grocery shopping again. Haha... Afterwards, drove to Albertsons supermarket where I will be meeting the tester. All in all, the test took about 20 minutes and it's just left/right turn and practically that's it. And I PASSED! Ahh Ha. I'm a happy lady.
4.30pm 就是我的駕駛測驗。測驗只用了２０分鐘。總之我安全的通過！
Hubby decided to bring his car back into base to wash before having our dinner and off we go. BUT it's only after the washing that he decided to go explore C.J strike dam. Turned out to be a fantastic drive with beautiful sceneries and have our 1st encounter with the ever deadliest rattlesnake. By the time, we got home. The car is dirty again. There goes his effort in washing the car.
通過考試後我們去把我們的車給好好的清洗一遍。但洗了之後，坤仔建議去 C.J strike dam 看一看。風景很漂亮。回家的路途中又把車子弄髒了。

BBQ pit available for public use. Nice place for picnic and camping.
這裡也能燒考。
Bumped into rattlesnake on our way back in the middle of the road. Too bad, it's not rattling... Do not worry. Pic taken from the car.
回家的路途中看到響尾蛇。這是我第一次面對它除了在電視上和動物圓裡。

The route which we took to come down. Quite dangerous. We try to keep in the center unless there are vehicles approaching.
上路有點危險得駕駛小心。
Doesn't this look like Cape Town's table mountain? Ha...
好像非洲的桌上。
I want to do these all again. Haven't really knew how fun can an exploration can be since I got pregnant. This is just the perfect place for motorcrossing too.
懷孕後，好久沒這樣跟坤仔去探險。真希望能有下一次。
