Quick and easy pictorial post of what I’ve been up to since it’s less than 24 hours 6 hours till New Year’s. Saturday, 12th December 2009 I was holed up in the State Library using RMIT’s free WiFi when Ivan rang me up, asking if I’d like to go to join them with a friend [...]
Two Tuesdays ago (December 8th), Estee and I met up at Melbourne Central in the midst of the heavy rain. The downpour was an unpleasant setback as I was already getting sick, but I donned my waterproof jacket anyway (which proved to be only half-useful, as my trousers were soaked through) and walked to Flagstaff [...]

As mentioned previously in my previous post, I’m going to deviate from chronicling my New Zealand trip—if anyone does read them anyway—due to severe time constraints.
