Last Day In Oz

So exams are over, Valedictory is over, post-Valedictory drunken-ness is over... As I look back on the past year, so many memories come flooding into my mind.

Some of the things I'll miss (in the order that they come to my mind as I ad-lib this list):

Early morning practice sessions with Jo in Grattan St at 7.20AM
Topless in my room in sub-20deg weather (and the erratic weather in general)
Singing at the top of my lungs in the shower
KFC Snack Box (with or without the company of friends)
HOI lectures with bubbly Tamar
Cate with her tiriade against MingYu and "Don't worry, we'll get there."
Trying to stay awake in Raymond's math lectures, even though there's no risk of enraging him
Keeping a sharp eye out for the Tram Inspector
DonDon, Hanaichi, UniSquare Cafe
The sirens from the Fire Station opposite my home
Cooking for myself, and deciding what I want and would eat for meals
Drama drama drama lessons
Lincoln Square park
Wandering around in Woolies
Getting to FSC and not minding the long walk there
And finally, lunches at the Dining Hall with pabo and co. (and hanging out with them in general)

I'll miss so much things, wish I could spend more time here, but alas, it's time to move on.

DFO DFO! (and other stuff)

Main story of the post...DFO!

Crazy cold morning! Luckily it warmed up somewhat later in the morning, when we met at 11am.

Spent a grand total of 6hours at DFO SouthWharf with Aaron, Ayaka, Saaya and Tam, buying apparel for Valedictory (which is in 6 days' time!). Bought a pair of shoes and a tie, not too shabby. Photos of them will be made available when I actually wear them. (Lazy to unbox)

We had lunch at some cafe upstairs

Indian Spice Chai Latte. Tasted like drinking a cinnamon muffin, lightly spiced and milky.

Plate of salad(s), one half was a pasta salad with sundried tomatoes, baby spinach and diced pumpkin, the other was a spinach, tomato, onion, feta salad dressed with balsamic vinegar.

What a meal! We spent 1.5hours at the cafe just talking and eating...and talking.

Another 3hrs spent walking around looking/trying/buying stuff, and that was it...I guess.

And now, the backlog of photos I've accumulated (yet again)

Spider made its home in the corner of me window

(One of) The Last Dining Hall Meal(s)

Korean Restaurant goodies I had when 大哥and 大嫂 came to Melbourne to take their wedding photos (which I must add look fabulous!)

"Sometimes, even the trivial can inspire."

View out of the Law Library. Have been spending a lot of time there recently, no thanks to the exams. Still, can't believe it's so close to my place, the convienience!

浓雾笼罩，仿入仙境

Early morning fog never fails to enthrall me

Drama exam schedules. Go Jo 18!

Can't believe that Trinity life is coming to an end. Still rather unwilling to close the book on this story, but endings are always inevitable, it's what you make of it that counts...
