29 Oct 2009So Tuesday evening came, and against my better judgement and guilt, went out to watch Astro Boy at Melbourne Central’s Hoyts’ Xtremescreen, boasting an enormous screen and loud Dolby 8 surround sound. I went with Ethan, Spencer, and Desmond to the corner of La Trobe St / Swanston St and waited for Spencer’s friend, David, [...]

27 Oct 2009The guitar’s strums filled Ethan’s room on a Sunday night after 11, and it sings with Ivan’s rendition of Disagree’s Crumbs and Suicide Note. My mind transited to what seemed like that world on the other side, and I’m subtly reminded of Suet Li’s once groupie-like obsession with the band. And I’m here at a [...]

Last Sunday, I was torn between laziness, working on my assignment, and going for a photography session termed as “Phoplay” which was organised by a CouchSurfer. After the previous night’s alcohol-fueled card games session, I woke up in the morning suddenly with a strengthened resolute to take good photos, and I thought I shouldn’t pass [...]

9 Oct 2009It was desire borne out of my passion for travelling that brought me and my two Melburnian neighbours to a remote Victorian place called Stony Point. We previously discussed heading there when the place first caught my eye on a train map at Jewell Station after a Hari Raya Open House—it was marked as a [...]

4 Oct 2009Wednesday, 23rd September 2009 Forgot to put up this pic in the previous entry, but the back story of this photo is this: I was on my way back from uni and decided to be a law-abiding citizen for once and attempt to sit the free City Circle tram back home. A non-free tram arrived [...]
