First day of a 2-week study break, didn't know what to do, so I went walk-about in the city, with an unexpected find!

...but more on that in the next post, I decided to keep it separate from this generic imagedump.

Beautiful sunrise and magenta clouds

lulz @ irony

Crazy ravenous pigeons nomming on a bowl of half-eaten food. They were initially a huge mass on the table, but they migrated to the floor when a chunk of meat fell over.

Tiny spider that was floating around my room in the wind

I presume there was a fire in the top left unit

Stumbled upon a classical music performance after some Freddo's, rousing orchestral music and arias made for aural pleasure

That's all for now, more on the Greek festival tomorrow.

I have been in Melbourne for 2 months now, enjoying the gradually cooling weather, albeit erratic at times. What better to commemorate the occasion than with a pic dump?

Party bus, Friday

Aaaagggghhh the glare!

Rubik's heads

Went to the National Gallery of Victoria for HoI tute again today, viewed modern-ish (18th century-Present) art this time round, and we ended with this 2004 piece by a Japanese artist.

It's basically fibre optics held in place with cable ties on a ladder-frame, and there are mirrors on the ceiling and on the floor, and its just awesome. The illusion of an endless ladder was just...genius! I'll let the pictures do the talking.

J-pop masterclass

Had a smashing time karaoke-ing with 5 girls yesterday.

Went to a Korean Karaoke Bar, and because we made no reservations, we got a room for an hour in between reservations.

Blitzed through nearly 30 songs in an hour.

Even though I didn't really know the songs they were singing, the atmosphere was electric.

Gotta brush up on my repertoire.

Went to a Starbucks afterwards, and stayed there till closing hours.

What a way to spend a Friday night.

'Tis just so strange, a guy hanging out with a bunch of girls 2-3 years younger, I felt like a chaperone of sorts.

Looking forward to the next session.

Post-HOI Enlightenment

Knowledge is recognising that the Tomato is a fruit;

Wisdom is knowing it does not go in a fruit salad.

And now, an unrelated advertisement.

a moral dilemma?

I've done quite a few group works so far

And I come out of them feeling different each time

even though I did almost all the work for all of them

One instance I got stuck with two guys and I came out of it feeling cheated and peeved

In another, I spent my entire afternoon with two girls doing their group's drama script (brainstorming included) for them

Of which I am not a part of

and I came out of it feeling smashtastic

Is this a case of me pandering to my self-interests, thus alleviating feelings of being ripped-off?

If so, is it sad to do pro bono work just because tittays are involved?

Maybe I should not think so much

oh look

Let it Hail

Survived my very first hailstorm.

It came down hard, and was over in 30mins. Ice the size of marbles to golfballs.

But not before scaring the bejeezus out of me, worrying for the structural integrity of my window.

Made it home just in time before the rain descended

Tiny bit of hail on the floor, before I closed the window

5mins into the storm, visibility was limited to a few metres

Aftermath, a pole wrenched from its base

Rounding off with some ole photos

AUD15 for 4 of these, as compared to SGD1.90 for one
