Sydney Trip - 3rd Day

The 3rd day of our trip is quite uneventful. We went out to eat dim sum at Kum Fook Restaurant which is located at Chatsworth. I find that the dim sum were not as good as those which we used to have at Crystal Jade Restaurant. E.g. the skin of the har gar & the chee cheong fun was too thick, thus they don't taste as nice. Well, what can we expect of Chinese food in a western country?

After lunch, Pat brought us to Victoria Plaza where she had made an appointment for her mum to see a Chinese sinseh for acupuncture. She was hoping that the acupuncture treatment can help to relieve some of the pain which her mum felt when walking.

While Pat & her mum was in the consultation room with the sinseh, Kel brought Daryl out to walk as he was getting restless. He took these pics of Daryl outside Victoria Plaza.















































































See how difficult is it to get a good pic of Daryl these days?

After taking the pics, the 2 of them came in as it was very cold outside. Kel then went inside the consultation room to check on Pat & his mum. While waiting, I took a pic of Daryl inside the clinic.

While waiting, he got very restless. He started to walk around the clinic. What irks me is that he would touch the items in the clinic & put his thumb inside his mouth to suck. At times, I caught him using his thumb to touch certain items, then he would proceed to put his thumb inside his mouth. Omg... I can't imagine the amount of germs that he was sucking on. When I stopped him, he would purposely do it & show me. After telling him off nicely a few times, I lost my patience & smacked him. He started bawling his eyes out. On hearing the commotion, Kel came out of the consultation room to see what was going on. When I told him what his baobei is doing, he scolded Daryl too. Seeing him standing there & bawling his eyes out is a very comical. If I wasn't so fed up with him, I would have laughed. Kel went to comfort his baobei & brought him out of the clinic for some fresh air while I stayed in the clinic & fumed.

When they came back, Kel told Daryl to come & apologize to me. He refused to, but he gave me a kiss instead. Well, at least he knows that he is in the wrong.

By then, Pat & her mother were done already, thus we went shopping at Chatswood Chase. We went to shop at David Jones while Pat & her mum went to walk around. While there, I bought a pair of Hush Puppies boots as I am freezing my feet off. I had only bought a pair of Birkenstock sandals to Sydney as I thought that I can withstand the cold. However, I was wrong. Serves me right for being a smart aleck... I wore the boots right away & went to pay for them. What a relief...

After shopping, we decided to go back as it was getting late already. On the way home, something unfortunate happened. While we were waiting at a traffic light which was red, an idiot driver crashed into our car! Can you believe it? We were not even driving, yet an accident can happened! Kel, Pat & me got out of the car to survey the damage & to confront the driver. I was furious as the driver could have caused serious injuries to us! When the driver got out of her seat, she apologized & said that she was distracted. Do you know what was the reason that she gave us? A piece of paper from her dashboard had dropped, thus she was trying to pick it up when she crashed into our car! Omg... what kind of reason is that?

I didn't know the reason of the crash initially as I was checking to see whether Daryl had sustained any physical injuries. After the crash, when I asked him whether he feel any pain, he told me that his back was in pain. Thus, I was very concerned. When I was satisfied that he wasn't hurt, I asked Kel what had happened. When he told me the reason, I was furious! I walked up to the lady driver & gave her a tongue lashing. I told her that she was a very irresponsible driver & she could have caused serious injuries to me, my son & my unborn baby. She even has the gall to defend herself by saying that she didn't cause the accident on purpose! I retorted that she better prayed that nothing happened to me, my son & my unborn baby. If not, she'll regret it for the rest of her life. With that, I walked off.

Kel took some pics as evidence.

The damage to Pat's car. Luckily her car is sturdy, thus the damage wasn't that severe. If not, I dare not think of the consequences.

After Pat & the driver had exchanged particulars, we drove home. I went to take a hot shower immediately when we reached home as I don't feel that good. My tummy had hardened considerably & I can feel contractions. Kel asked me to rest while he takes care of Daryl. He bathe Daryl & put him to bed. He even read Daryl a bedtime story. Isn't that very sweet of him? It's times like these that I really appreciate him. :p



































Isn't the above 2 pics heartwarming? It always warms my heart when I see these.

I went to sleep after taking the 2 pics. Let's hope that I would feel better tomorrow.
