Therefore, he refused to wash up. We let him be as we didn't want him to throw a tantrum. Then we went down to the kitchen to have our breakfast.
We had plans to go to the Direct Factory Outlet or DFO in short today. Thus, we went to get ready after our breakfast. After we changed Daryl, we tried to get him to wash up, but he refused to again.

We decided not to force him & went to the car.
Me & Daryl. See how cheeky he is this morning...
When we reached DFO, it was already lunch time. Thus, we went to the food court to have our lunch 1st before shopping. Kel & Pat went to buy lunch while we waited for them at a table. While waiting for them to return, Daryl decided to aggravate me again. We were sitting on a bench with cushions on it. He kept walking on the sofa stepping on my sweater & bag. I told him a few times to stop walking about & sit down to wait for Daddy & Gu Gu Pat to come back with his lunch but he refused to listen to me. The last straw was when he stepped on me. Thus, he kena smacked by me again. This boy... I swear that he's going to shorten my life by a few years. He started crying, thus Kel came back to the table to check on us. I told him what had happened & he told Daryl to say sorry to me. However, the stubborn boy refused to. Therefore, Kel brought him to 1 side & asked him to sit down & wait for him. He had no choice but to comply.
When Kel & Pat came back, they got a sandwich & 2 pcs of cake to share while Pat got a chocolate for Daryl. She thought that it was a cookie, however, she was wrong. It was actually a very big piece of chocolate. Daryl had a great time eating it.
See how much Daryl enjoyed the chocolate. I had to stop him when he had eaten 1/2 of the chocolate as I didn't want him to have a sugar overload.
After our light lunch, we went shopping. To our disappointment, there isn't much to shop there. We were looking forward to shopping at factory outlets such as adidas, nike, etc. However, they don't have it there. We took a break after some time as I am tired already. I didn't want to overexert myself coz of the accident last night. We sat at 1 of the benched outside DFO to enjoy some fresh cold air.

Daryl & Me
After the break, we went inside DFO again for more shopping. However, Daryl was tired & wanted to nap. Thus we found a bench inside & sat down again. I laid Daryl down on my lap & petted him. He was so tired that he fell asleep within minutes. I told Kel to go ahead & shopped while I accompanied Daryl. When he woke up, we would find him. Kel went ahead to check out the rest of the shops.
While waiting, Pat & Mother joined us. Mother offered to look after Daryl while he's napping so that we can shopped. I took her offer & went to find Kel. We had a great time shopping without Daryl. :p In the end, I bought a Nine West handbag @ AU$39.00. Surprisingly, Nine West stuff is cheaper than Singapore, but that's provided that it's on sale. If not, it'll be about or more expensive than Singapore. For Daryl, we got him a new Rivers jacket for AU$14.95. He only got 1 jacket which we bought to Sydney, however, it's soiled already. Thus, we need to get another jacket for him to change. For meimei, we bought 3 Pumpkin Patch dresses @ AU$10 each. We were expecting more bargains at the Pumpkin Patch boutique. However, that was not the case. Poor Kel didn't buy anything as he didn't find anything suitable.
We went back to check on Daryl after our shopping. He had woken up by then & was not very happy to find that we are not around. Pat had to bring him to find us as he was about to cry already. Luckily we went back in time. Since he was such a 'good' boy, I brought him to the foodcourt to buy a cookie while Kel & Mother rested at the bench. Daryl had developed a liking for cookies with M & Ms on top while we were in Sydney. After buying the cookie, we walked back to the bench. He looked so cute holding the paper bag with the cookie inside. :p I forgot to take a pic as I was busy 'admiring' him. When we reached the bench, he sat down to eat his 'cookie monster' as he called it.
The aftermath after he had finished eating his cookie
By then, it was about 6pm already. We left DFO & proceeded to Castle Hill for dinner. Pat had made a reservation for us at Hog's Breath Cafe there for dinner. After we were seated, the server brought the kids' menu & a cup of crayons for Daryl. He was so happy when he saw that & kept telling me that he wants to 'colour colour'.

Daryl & Kel. This is 1 of my fav pics. See how alike the 2 of them are? :p
For dinner, Kel finally had his fav steak. He's been wanting to eat the steak in Australia as it's supposely to be much nicer than Singapore's. I ordered the Natural Prime Rib - mega cut for him as he don't like any sauces on his meat. I had the Blackened Prime Rib - lite cut. They have 3 sizes for the steaks - Mega, Normal & Lite. The mega cut is very big, just nice for Kel who loves his steak. Luckily I ordered the lite cut coz I couldn't finished it after a few mouthfuls. Apparently, meimei doesn't like to eat meat at all. She's got the same taste buds as Daryl when he's still a foetus. When I was expecting him, I also can't eat meat as I would feel very nauseous. Thus, Kel finished up my steak & I finished up his sides.
After dinner, when I went to the toilet, I found that I had slight bleeding. I was very worried & told Kel about it. Therefore, after dinner, we went back straight so that I can rest. Hopefully, everything will be okie...
