I actually really do not know how I’ll feel and deal when his day comes.
I already feel so lost now that he is going through dialysis and heading for surgery next week.
I made the decision to NOT resuscitate him in the event if he were to die on the table. I don’t know why.
Rise and shine I feel much better today. Don’t really know why it was so bad yesterday but for now I’m okay. Phew.
Off at The Hardware Societe for breaky. Latte for feitty and an earl grey iced tea for me to start~~
Grilled mushrooms with poached eggs and baked eggs with chorizo for an early meal! The mushrooms have a tinge of truffle taste to them, not bad!
Day 3
Nth major for day 3 – here’s a photo of my baby bump lol. I’m so constipated I really don’t know if the bump is the baby or my sai.
Poor Krystal was supposed to go on a tour to Puffing Billy but the agency changed route and meeting point w/o informing her, gave her super short span to reach the new place and proceeded to leave w/o her wtf. So lame. So she had to reschedule to Fri instead.
Met her up at the aptmt and we headed to Higher Ground for breakfast. Eggs on toasts with added avocado and oyster mushrooms was pretty decent. Feitty added an extra fried egg for me nyahaha.
Walked ard the city for a while for feitty’s report and found The Block Arcade. Interesting architectural with very Victorian vibes. Got an interesting bangle from one of the shops there too.
Saw Gong Cha and I just had to get my Apple Tea with White pearls.
Met up with Isaac at his office and lunched tgt. I had Paella and feitty got Thai basil crispy pork belly with rice. Walloped the Paella (both seafood and vege – which feitty wanted to try) all by myself I’m Carbs Queen.
Walked to Short Stop (recommended by Ray) for donuts – dark chocolate with vanilla cream – and an ice brew for Krystal and feitty.
Collected Ray’s blazer from B.B. and headed back to aptmt. Helped feitty with his report while Krystal gym-ed.
Dinner at Jang Gun with Ray – Army Stew and Seafood Pancake. Not too bad. Had like some interrogation with Krystal abt trust issues too interesting lol. Suddenly like some psychology lesson 101.
Day 4
On our way to Prahran Market now – bus 220 from Lonsdale Street. Their bus feels really dirty grrrr.
The market was okay, not very big and a slightly different style from Victoria and South Melbourne. Walked for a short while and saw this cute mini roving farm. Penned area with some chickens, calf and goats for little kids to experience. So cute.
Then we went out of the market to find food for breakfast. Simple Thai Chicken pie that tasted like green curry, and a Chicken Soup. The chicken soup was unusually sweet like with sugar or smth, suspect they use chicken stock which contains MSG.
Headed back into the market after our meal and got some nectarines to munch on later and we bus off back to the city on 216.
Wanted to try Hardware Societe but it was crowded and food felt generally the same – which is very brunch-y. So we ended up back at the other lane and entered an Italian place with their lunch deals – White Tuna Linguine and Calamari Salad, buay pai.
And since we are so near, we are back at Short Stop for their donut and coffee again~ Maple with Walnut donut and a latte~~~
Headed back to the aptmt after cause my morning sickness was REALLY bad. Feitty continued his report while I rested on the couch for 2hrs. Then he woke me up so that we can go Coles to get the stuff to cook dinner.
Tomato based spaghetti for me, and Spinach Ricotta / Beef ravioli for the others.
Don’t know why the morning sickness is particularly bad the entire day headache nausea all came one shot and lasted entire day.
Isaac came back late and cldnt finish his dinner, so he packed them for work tmr instead.
Morning started off at South Melbourne Market at la lapa but coffee was only meh and croissant was also bah. Ray, Isaac and Krystal headed off to church while we walked ard before getting the stuff for night’s bbq.
Explored a little and found this nice cafe – and we had a Little Breakfast, basically eng. bf downsized la. I had most of it cause I really didn’t like the croissant. The coffee was also way better.
Slacked a little then we went back to the market to get the ingredients: patties, chicken sticks and veges.
Put the stuff back and headed off to Melbourne Central for lunch.
We had basil pork with rice and tomyum seafood soup and I was so hungry for rice feitty had to order an extra rice for me omg this carbs baby really is want to me to carb load till I fat.
Nighttime bbq! With some of their friends and food was just enough. Ken and mum bought more sausages and all and sausages were good. So were the patties which feitty and I shared one kiap-ed with bread. Their friends are quite big eaters. Bbq area was really cold too so we bolted off after eating cause the wind is wah piangs.
Had a few rounds of murderer game before they called it a night.
Last day of the road trip and we’re at Bundoora Farmer’s Market for breakfast. It’s located within the Bundoora Park and there are super a lot of parrots in the trees.
They set up an area for gazebos and vendors can sell their food or produce here. Lotsa dogs too sibei cute~
Just had a chicken and mushroom pie and it was tasty~ feitty is out hunting more food now.
Nth much to eat and the gnocchi is frozen and not cooked on the spot, so he just got another Cauliflower pie. Don’t fancy.
Skipped the mall and headed back fo Melbourne straight to return the car and we got in rather early like 12.
Yong tau fu for lunch followed by coffee at Sensory Lab. Too bad I can’t drink coffee now so all I had was Limonata.
YTF was ok but baby has been craving for secondary sch noodle stall noodles – which I can never get now – so I had to settle for the ytf with yellow noodles.
Stalled Isaac for a while – he tried some new suit at Benjamin Barker for his wedding – then we headed back to the aptmt for his surprise planned by Krystal.
Dinner back at the previous steamboat place and I was having morning sickness. Only cld take some random food down and mala spicy soup. The soup wasn’t nice though. The chilli and plain rice helped.
Back to the aptmt with Ray while Isaac and Krystal stays at a hotel for a night. Was feeling better and energetic so we decided to build nano blocks!
Harlow are you Pig-ar or smth. 佐磨你长得酱像只猪的.
Gave up on the market this morning cause feitty dont like detours so we headed off straight to Yarra Valley Dairy – but it only opens at 10.30am.
So we skipped to the next location: Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery.
Siao langs qi za buay za Jiak cheese cake. Sweet like siao.
Baked beans breakfast noms noms noms.
Bunch of fruit farms visiting to pick blackberries and raspberries. Attempted some veges but don’t really know how to identify and the tomatoes are not ready.
After the farms I wanted to check into the hotel because finding a winery for him (suddenly drop a friggin bomb he wants to taste wine bloody hell) but he everything also cannot; cannot detour cannot 2-course meal. Had a friggin huge fight in the car.
Finally settled at Innocent Bystander and ordered AUD72 of food. Seafood Paella, wings and grilled broccoli side.
Had me lemonade soda and feitty got a wine sampler – 3 small portions for variety – 1 red Pinot Noir, 1 white Pinot Green(?) and 1 moscato.
Checked into the hotel – Healesville Hotel; room’s on level 2. We got a shock when we entered the room – NO ENSUITE TOILET.
This hotel is too cool for me, their toilet is outside they boh declare wtf. At night need to pee how.
At least got King Bed.
Drove ard the town for a short while before deciding on dinner back at the hotel. Bought water from COLES and I felt super nauseated from the morning sickness.
Ordered steak and roasted pork but the morning sickness too severe for me to enjoy the food. Steak was good though, baby seems to love the smokey grilled taste. Other than tt I didn’t really get to enjoy the food and had a sudden hot flush to my left ear randomly wtf.
Headed back to the room and got ready our stuff to shower at the common toilet – quite interesting experience I must say.
After our shower feitty got down to document his receipts and realized his Innocent Bystander one was missing and got miffed. So we changed out and drove back to the restaurant to get a reprint – which the staff gladly helped.
Blackberries time. Before they turn bad. Sibei sour wtf.
One hr drive to Olive at Loch for their pies. Actually don’t know why we need to come all the way here, the pies better be good!
Mushroom tart for me;
Chicken pie for feitty hubby~
Finally shitted at the washroom just now gan pua cao. Lol.
Joyce this last night; SOOOO DAMN CUTE LEH THESE DOREMI!!!
Grants Picnic Ground for parrot feeding and Lyrebird Tracking.
The parrots are the typical yellow-crested cuckadoos so we decided not to pay to feed them. Plenty to feed for free along GOR so why bother.
Started on the Lyrebird track, SIMI bird also boh?! LIAR-bird 就有！
Pie in the Skies next – Beef Curry Pie and a Ham & Pea soup. This feels a little more commercialized compared to the morning ones we had, but the taste is ok. Chips were good though.
And now we’re at Miss Marple’s Tea Room – to try the famous scones.
Why do we keep torturing ourselves. Eat pies liao then eat scones tmd full like one kind want to vomit.
Checked into the lovely Loft in the Mill Victorian Suite and this looks legit!
Wanted to go Dandenong plaza but recept recommended Eastland Shopping Center instead – which was slightly nearer.
Huge mall. Bought some bralettes and shorts and panties from CottonOn Body – AUD63 for 4 bras, 4 panties and 3 shorts. Buay pai leh.
Vietnamese rice rolls and beef & chicken pho. Not say very nice leh the pho.
Greedy feitty die die want to try their schnitzel cause “a lot of people queue leh” and “it’s pan-fried one”. Siao Lang.
Here at Captains of Rye for brekkies before our walkathon day lol.
Damn stupid didn’t soak my lens last night so have to wear specs today. 12hrs of slp is no joke, my head is like quite heavy now.
Hope breakfast is good, baby is hungry!
Our attempts at OOTD with their graffiti so lame.
Don’t know how to pose.
Nice interior, it’s like an eclectic mix of retro and hipster.
No coffee, hot chocolate will do.
Scrambles on sourdough and English Fried Up. Looks great!
Omg too full too fulllllll. SJB ordered 1 breakfast each now want to vomit. Need some walk to burn it off now!
Bakery’s Trail was a fail. Too ulu and forest-y for us. Too scary. So we turned back like in 5mins.
Went to Mornington Peninsula Bathing Boxes after for like 10mins too lol. Liao si gan.
Then it’s off on the bloody dry and long road to Cowes at Philip Island. Someone save me – I’ve been dozing off w/o fail once I’m in the car. I think I’m on the verge of coma.
Mendl’s coffeehouse – interesting concept cause it’s connected to an art gallery and they sell those art pieces at the same time.
Feitty said the coffee was so-so. Ordered myself a lemon ginger tea to help with the nausea. Wanted Chai latte but apparently the Anise inside is not safe, so…
At Pino’s Trattoria for lunch now, before we head off for some other nature walk. Hopefully it’s legit.
Grilled calamari and Cannelloni – basically fresh pasta rolled with spinach and ricotta. Nice!
Drove to Wilson’s Prom and wanted to do the walk but feitty didn’t want. He said there’s nth to see. Ok lor. We drove a little further up to Tidal River and it was quite crowded siol! A lot of campers, got general stall and school kids. Looked really fun man.
Headed to the hotel before dinner at Foster – another Sibei sad town. I think sadder than last night. Food choices is.. wah piangs.
We got roasted chicken with veges to share just in case not nice.
Needed a change of taste so we had Laksa cup noodles followed by Mie Goreng. Boring shit.
Our airplane dinner which I didn’t touch. Had a mouth of rice and half a chunk of beef and almost wanted to vomit.
I ended with – 啃面包. The only thing tt cld go down. And some mango pudding.
Soda water with lemon wins all. The best eveeerrrr.
Breakfast was cheese croissant and yogurt. Walloped the fruits so no pic.
Feitty was still bloated from dinner so he didn’t eat the croissant. I finished my entire bread cause that’s the only thing baby wants. 面包仔.
Flight was late and so now we are late to pick the car. Hopefully won’t be delayed further for the rest of the day.
I’m hungry, so is baby. Don’t dare to take the vitamins yet scared the morning sickness kicks in. Hope the food and fresh air in Aussie helps!
Trusty driver for the trip. Collected our Hyundai Electra – wasn’t as good as the one we had in Adelaide and didn’t get an upgrade.
Melbourne collection wasn’t as fast and as atas.
On the road to Mornington! 1.5hr drive and it’s a very bright and sunny day out.
First stop – D.O.C Mornington. Supposedly good reviews for their pizza.
Fell aslp all the way here; preggo really cannot tahan.
But yay to good start – found AUD10 on the road where we parked and it was just infront of me when I opened the door MUAHAHAHAHHA.
Pomodoro Pizza was great! Their anchovies Sibei giam though.
Bimbo lasagne – supposedly the smaller portion from the normal. This is like our normal SG size siol, can’t imagine how big their norm is.
Overall lunch was good! Now off to strawberry farm for strawberry picking!
Yay! Arrived and looking goooood~ Paid AUD10 per pax for entrance + a punnet for you to fill with strawberries.
So red!! The strawberries are really good! Super juicy and sweet, tasted nth like the ones you get from our SG supermarket tt claims to be Australia Strawberries.
Totally changed my mind abt them.
Off to Montalto Vineyard after – some small wine tasting at the Cellar door and feitty bought a moscato. He said it’s super nice – too bad I can’t drink alcohol.
Bought myself a wine grape juice instead LOL.
Checked into our motel next – Flinders Cove Motor Inn.
It’s really very hot and sunny cause it’s apparently still summer.
Open Sesame.
Not too shabby la, one night only. Mai hiam.
Flinders town is a very quiet and peaceful place. Not many eateries or shops going on even on a weekday, don’t know how these people survive siol.
Since there’s nth to eat we went for this random fish & chip place.
Ordered barramundi and wedges with sour cream. It was so-so and very gelat. So while eating, a black dog suddenly appeared and his name is Bolt. He sat very near us and gave us those puppy eyes so we shared the food with him lol.
A very disgusting beef burger which we shared with Bolt too. Feitty said it’s like dog food.
So we’re back in the room now and feitty already fell aslp. Guess he’s really tired from the flight (he didn’t slp much) and had to drive the whole day.
We’re gonna retire for the night soon and get ready for tmr at 7.30am~
Dinner at Sub before boarding. Baby has been very naughty giving me a hard time in the taxi when we were otw to the airport. I almost vomited.
The only food I wanted was Subway and it was the meatball sub. Instantly felt better after eating.
Feitty bought me a neck pillow for the flight. Wanted to get perfume but the staff like see us no up. Dulan. Didn’t buy in the end and feitty sprayed a lot of perfume on himself. Made me sick man.
Waiting in line to board now, hope all goes well for both baby and ourselves.
God please grant us journey mercy and bless us with a safe trip.
It’s been like 4 years (?) since our last Emirates flight – got the tickets at super worthy and cheap price; $480+. SIBEI SONG.
Screen upgrade until so big somemore. I can haz blanket and pillow!!!!
Sibei love.
Ok see you guys tmr we’re gonna go enjoy our ICE movies and “free” food and alcohol (only feitty) and catch some slp before our road trip tmr!
