That is it. Them lousy freshers have all gone.

After the exam on Thursday, had a little pack of my room and had to deal with the question of what I was going to do with the rest of the day. DOTA was the theme of the whole afternoon. Later went with IzyBear to KimBear's 21st birthday party at the Carlton Yacht Club at Lygon. Was fun to meet and catch up with old friends. Blue Hawaiian is just as nice as I remembered it. A trip back home in DaveBear's car later, I found myself back in my apartment. What next ? Well, while I packed and cleaned, JoeBear and DanBear accompanied by KYBear were doing their centurion in the lounge. Lots of laughter and fun. In fact, amazingly KYBear had an equivalent of 140 shots I think !!

Friday saw MKBear leave. Although promised to show IzyBear some of Melbourne, was too lazy and overslept till about two in the evening. At least had the initiative to go out after that. After we did some admin stuff in uni, was quite undecided about where to go. In the end, went down to Docklands and New Quay. Went around the Docklands Park where there was a playground as well as art sculptures to admire. Played around on the playground equipment, had a conversation on centrifugal force and life, lost a whole bunch of documents to the wind and basically had lots of fun in the sun. Dropped by New Quay later for a spot of tea of fish and chips where we bumped into RoxBear and KenBear. Found out Karaoke was postponed to Saturday and also saw the famous Sea Shepherd boat which terrorises whaling ships at the port.

Later, had dinner with Harvard to celebrate his 22nd birthday at the wonderful YingThai 2. Food was as amazing as before but then later, had to move all the stuff to Greycourt where I now lived. As some other people were slow in packing up, ended up unpacking again in Greycourt where it is homey just after 2 hours of moving in. I am a genius with unpacking now !
Had a really early morning snack of Pumpkin Risotto and some Carbonara. Slept till eleven. Then it was time for DanBear, AarBear, IzyBear and a whole host of others to leave. Fifteen of them left and it took 45 minutes from the start to the end of the farewell process.

It was sad. But I could not linger long.

Had to make my karaoke date at 2 and only got there in time. But they opened late and there was a short line anyway. Found out that IzyBear's plane was delayed (Haha) and had dinner at a Japanese restaurant at Melbourne Central. Food was good (Vegetarian Udon) and had a nice healthy walk up Swanston with KYBear, RoxBear, JinBear and SharBear to Seasons. Halfway there we bumped into WoobyBear, PatBear and KimBear moving WoobyBear's stuff to Europa and had a nice look at the apartments there before spending 90 minutes unpacking JinBear's apartment. Had some mahjong and finally left at around one to HarvBear's place. Watched some anime and then came back to my room to check the soccer scores. I am not doing so well. :(

But yeah. The greycourt room is big and high. But most of all I feel the loneliness. People have left for home. I have 23 days left in Melbourne ! But even now I am not sure if that is a happy ! or a sad !. Time will tell. Life goes on does it not ?

Vegetarian food tomorrow and lots of exercise.
