Went to the Botanical Gardens today and remembered my O-Week in 2003 when I went to watch the Moonlight Cinema. Seems ages and ages ago and yet can still remember gossiping about an O-Weeker and a Canadian exchange student behind their backs. So funny.

This past week has been filled with reminisces for me. Went to a lot of places I first discovered in 2003, or some new restaurants which were open, or just an activity that I liked to do. Sigh, MELBOURNE, I AM LEAVING !!

No longer will I be able to look at the leaves on the trees on Royal Parade changing with the seaons. No more food from favourite restaurants such as Demorli, China Bar, Dumplings, Samurai, Dessert House, A1, Nam Loong, Cafe Sweethearts, McDonalds, Vina Bar, Brunetti's, Red Silks, Ying Thai, Stalactites, Kimchi House, and even the little van selling Souvlaki behind Royal Park. Special mention to KFC's Wicked Wings.

No more gambling at Crown, watching movies there, buying Boost, DDR-ing at the arcades, playing Bridge or Mahjong, having fun at the Royal Melbourne Show and Moomba, having exams, sleeping in lectures, enjoying National Nights and Cafe, Joe's Garage, feeding my goldfish, clubbing at Spylounge, going to F4, Chapel Street, visiting Sydney, houseboating at Echuca, playing squash at uni, having delicious coffee, Evolution, going to balls, meeting new freshers, making them do things for you (LOL), cooking at midnight, wearing thick clothing, Next Blue, seeing Holdens, talking politely in an Australian accent, using a phone card, free minutes at night, watching AFL, free inter-room phone calls, St Kilda, Mt Dandenong, Tulip Farms, Richmond, China Town, Fitzroy, South Melbourne....... I could go on forever.

And of course, I will miss everyone whom I have met and will be leaving behind in Melbourne. Very much.

I have about 28 hours to go at the moment.

Feeling a little emotional.

Correction : VERY EMOTIONAL.
