We landed at Tullamarine airport around 445am Melbourne time. Hardly having slept on the 7 hour plane ride from Singapore, I was fairly alert still. Rented a car and drove to our serviced apartment in the CBD. Reached at 7am.
Funny thing, when you call a hotel to confirm that your room is ready on Wednesday, it means you check in after noon, even when you confirm that you will be there at 7am?? So there we were at 7am with our room not ready, pondering if we should hang out on the cold streets for another 4-5hours. Thankfully the quick thinking staff managed to find us a temporary room to rest after a bit of persuasion. 
Napped 3 hours. Off to lunch at a Vietnamese cafe along Swanston St. Met ChinEe's friend there. Rumour has it that the soup is recycled so her friend drank it all up to "prevent it" from being recycled. I'm sure its not true. Soup taste good though.
Spent the afternoon viewing 4 houses for rent in the Eastern suburbs. Didn't really like most of them except one - just found out that it has been let our already. Takes only one day for houses to be snapped up. These are very difficult times for renters and the rental market is extremely good with <1% vacancy rate at any time. Got to be fast, Really fast.
Dinner at Central. Sushi bar on level 3. Very expensive compared to Singapore. Sushi plates from $2.50-7.50. I can't even recognize most of them. Seems they like Tuna a lot as 75% of the sushi had "Tuna element". Weird.
Very very tired having only slept 3hours. Slept early.
