The Old Melbourne Gaol

Thursday, 7 April 2005

As usual, first thing in the morning was breakfast.....however, this morning had a bit of a shock and bad start for the day.
1. The entire window pane in the toilet was being removed by Er yi.........(because she wanted to air the toilet.....but then the toilet air-flow has always been present)
2. Couldn't wee wee before I had my breaky, due to the *in renovation* toilet.
3. The porridge was so tasteless that I had to force myself to finish them....and straight away had my strawberry yoghurt to compensate my sweet teeth.
4. Uncle Neville drank my apple pine juice, though he already had another glass of cranberry juice in front of him.
5. Realised a burnt mark on the stove, when Er yi was doing some cookings.

Anyways, got along with it eventually as Kitkat saved my day.........

Breakfast for the day:
Cranberry juice
Tasteless porridge with milk
Strawberry flavoured yoghurt

I took my shower as usual, while Er yi was busy in the kitchen and uncle Neville was listening to Elton John's music. Er yi went in for shower after me and uncle Neville was the last. Er yi was thus a "bit" annoyed when she realised that uncle had been playing with the Dvd player and hasn't taken his shower.......

So then, everything was late by an hour. We were all ready to leave for the city at 1.00pm, in the car, in the middle of the road, but uncle Neville suddenly realised that he couldn't find his crown membership card (for free parking). Searched hi-lo in the car, in his shirt, in his pants - none found. The car was still in the middle of the road, I realised when a car had to overtake us in order to move forward....Me and Er yi then ran into the house, searched up-down for his crown card in their bedroom, in his shirt and pants. Uncle Neville then shouted from outside "Found it!!"
*Head Bangin on the wall*

Another half an hour past. We then made our way to the crown casino, which took another forty five minutes. Had our lunch in the casino and then took a tram to the city.
Lunch for the day:
Cappuccino
Focaccia with smoked salmon and salad and caper
At the end of our meal, we all decided that Baci's Cafe was the best so far...Good coffee and toast.

Stopped at Russel street, and we made our way to the Old Melbourne Gaol by asking people for direction along the way. Was an interesting visit and learnt about the famous Ned Kelly hero who was being executed in the Old Melbourne Gaol.
Quotation for the day:
"Such A Life"

For dinner, strolled to Melbourne Central, heading Chillipadi. Had chicken satays, penang Harmee, Nyonya spicy fish and seasonal garlic shoots with rice for dinner. Er yi and uncle Nevilled enjoyed the meal very much and due to that, I was really glad and happy. It was my pleasure for giving them a good meal after all....

AFter dinner, caught the tram and back again to the crown casino. Er yi, was then with the pokies machine, while me and uncle Neville both headed to the same cafe to have our desert. Had a good chat with uncle Neville and learn a little tiny bit of his history.
Supper for the day:
Cappuccino
A super ultra large piece of Passion fruit cheesecake

Ohno...couldn't eat nothing more. Er yi called the mobile, and went back to meet her. She had a voucher to exchange for a big meal.....me and uncle Neville looked at each other and decided that, we would be fine with a glass of water. Er yi ordered a cappuccino with her free ticket and passed for the big meal.
Was already 10.30pm, chatted for a while and left for home sweet home.......
