Today is the 3rd day in Melbourne. Dear starts his 1st day of school at RMIT Bundoora and he’ll be going on a field trip. We woke up in the middle of the night to watch Man Utd playing against West Ham, then we went back to sleep as dear needs enough rest as he’ll be having long day in school today. Woke up earlier den dear, ironed his clothes, prepared breakfast for him. We have cornflakes with banana and milk. Dear didn’t eat finish as it’s too much already so I ate for him. Well, dear has to leave the room a 8.15am as his friends are waiting for him at the lobby to go school together and they will be driving car there. It’s quite convenient and near for them as the school is just straight journey down along the road by the hotel.
I went back to sleep on the Dream Bed as it’s too nice and comfortable to sleep le!! I simply love the bed and the comforter is so nice to tuck in but dear will sure miss the bed as he only gets to spend 7-8 hours a day sleeping on the bed..at least after he goes to school, I can still go back to sleep..heheh..This time I’m clever, I left the ‘Do Not Disturb’ tag on the door knob so housekeeping will not come around knocking the door and wake me up like yest!! Yest the housekeeping actually shouted ‘Housekeeping’ and knock on the door few times at 9am!! Obviously we were still sleeping so didn’t bother, and the housekeeper actually opened the door thinkin we are not in!! So scary sia..Lucky i get to the door in time to say we are still sleeping..hahah..
Today I didn’t go out as dear is worried about me going out alone as it’s quite dangerous. So i stayed in the room to surf internet and watch movies. I watched ‘Knocked Up’ and it’s quite a nice movie. The housekeeper came in the afternoon to change the linen and clean the dishes for me. It’s quite good service leh..at least my bed is made and new linen for us to sleep on! hee.. Dear had a long day at the field trip, visiting lamb farm and turbine area. He reached school only at 7pm and reached hotel near to 8pm, the sky is still bright though, so will think that it’s still early.. Missed dear so much. His friends went to Target Centre for dinner and I whipped up a simple dinner for me and dear using the simple ingredients we got at Safeway supermarket last night.
I cooked my usual potato with sausage in some sauce (which is supposedly used to cook chicken or pork), fried lean chicken fillet and eggs. Our rice is those packet rice which are cooked and just required few mins in the microwave oven to heat up. However, the rice tasted horrible and very hard! So I used it to cook fried rice with the remaining eggs we have and it turns out great! heheh.. With the limited resources given to me to whip up this dinner, I still enjoyed it alot. I can see dear loves the dinner as well. It was a fantastic night in a fantastic room with my fantastic dear having a not so fantastic dinner but still enjoying every moment of it. This dinner, though simple, still tastes nicer than those we had outside coz it’s prepared with my love for dear. Dear loves my cooking, even if it tasted lousy..he will still enjoy it. Thanks dear.
After dinner, had a walk with dear around the hotel. Went to the outdoor deck just outside our room at 7th storey which is catered for guests who wished to sun tan there. But no one will be so crazy to sun tan in bikini when the weather is like 20 degrees celsius! haha. Went back to our room and watched tv while lying on the dream bed, dear’s friends called to say they coming up our room. Dear is unpleased with the arrangement but still obliged their requestes. It turned out that they didn’t have their dinner at Target, instead they bought lots of grocery and decided to use our room’s kitchenette to cook their dinner!!! How can this be??!! Haiz..apparently our room’s kitchenette is fully furnished and cleaner than the 1 at their hotel next door which is a common kitchen. It’s like already close to 10pm! Haiz..finally I thought I can spend some quality time alone with dear with no disturbance yet this happened! Well, they enjoyed their dinner while me and dear were quite unhappy lying on our bed surfing internet and watchin tv. Worst of all, they were chatting along having their dinner at our dining table, as if nothing is happening and forget our existence. Sad sia..I thought I can spend time alone with dear during this holiday, it seems like our room attracts his friends so often that our time alone became very limited sia. Finally they left the room around 11pm and we can have our rest. By that time, dear is so tired, I’m so tired, how to stay up to chat on the bed like we used to do? To talk about life, about things that happened that day etc? They left the kitchen unclean somemore..aiyo..headache sia..I’ve to do the cleaning again! Anyway, we both went to sleep after cleaning up and it was like 12+ already..dear needs alot of rest leh..somemore tonight is the only night to sleep on the dream bed as we are moving to Sleep and Go tml. Well, at least we both enjoyed the dinner together. These are the pics taken today:
