| A busy busy time! February was mostly about working to save up for the next semester (and the semester after that … and possibly Japan in July … or December …) and one week I managed to work 48 hours!!! The payoff was worth it as I didn’t really have anything better to do with my time anyways and I can eat like a pig for at least another week or more hehehe! Also managed to squish a lot of Final Fantasy X playtime in which I was trying to finish before uni started but unfortunately, uni started on Monday and I am nowhere near completing it. I’m guessing a minimum of 10 hours left … yeech …
However, I DID manage to catch the soccer and go to Tropfest (which we DIDN’T make into the finalists if you hadn’t heard, although we DID make it the Best of Rest Screenings which will be on in your major cities during this week! Details are here) AND seamlessly move from 6am data-entry droning to 6pm starts at the commencement of uni. *sigh* I will have no life for the next 6 months but IT’S ALL ABOUT PRIORITIES … or so I keep hearing. Anyway, photo-essay time!

| Some random Indian dinner out with the Animation Club kids. From the right: Juan, Moonsun (Korea), Sarah, Michael, Gavin (Ireland), Aarthi (India), Jayt, Sam, Amy (Dubai) and Hung. Around $6-7 for each dish and everything was not in English so we just ordered one of everything. |
 |  |
| Still pigging out … a better shot of (this time from the left) Hung, Amy, Sam, Jayt, Aarthi and Gavin. | Melbourne vs. Adelaide semi-final. I went for want of a better pastime and it was only $15 cos I’m the proud bearer of a student card (yeah!). |
 |  |
| The game … | View of the Telstra Dome (we were sitting pretty far up but still had a very decent view!) |
 |  |
| Picnicing at Tropfest at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Pretty cool outdoor venue … | UNLESS you get poured upon which we did … consistently … and because it was a 40 degree day prior I had left the house in short shorts and a strapless top so I ended up wet, then cold, then sticky when the temperature rose again, then wet again, then cold when the sun went down and the wind kicked up. ALL THIS AND WE DIDN’T EVEN MAKE THE FINALS!!! (I liked the winner although I think the third prize guy should have won. Go the Von!!!) |
 |  |
| A very tardy end-of-year party for work at the Hard Rock. Food was crap but the wine was free!!! And yes, the bulk of the workers are asian girls cos we rock at mindless repetitive work! | Getting drunker by the second … I don’t even know who the bald guy is … |
 |  |
| After the bar tab ran out, I went for a wander and found this little guy in Tattersall’s lane. Gotta LOVE the Melbourne laneways! :-D | View from South Bank at night … awwww … |
 |  |
| My living room!!! I wish … I almost fainted from joy at the sight of all the new Macs (well their boxes anyways) on the first day of uni! | My desk! Yes MY DESK and lightbox. MINE MINE MINE!!! For the rest of the year!!! As you can see, I have marked my territory with what else but food! (Note the GIANT jar of Marmite hehe!) |
