Happy New Year 2006
Last night I went to Southbank to watch the fireworks, we found a spot on the bridge between Spencer St and Clarendon St. The fireworks show wasn’t as good as previous years, they also moved from Flinders Station to Federation Square this year so we ended up even further away.
Colourful fireworks over the Southgate bridge.
The highlight of 2005 for me was resigning from work at the end of April, packed my bags (all 3 of them), and flew to Singapore with the plan to work and live there for the next 2-3 years. Reality changed direction and I had to return to Melbourne after a month. I was disappointed, but it was a great experience nonetheless. It was humbling and eye opening to live in another country for a month. To this day, I still want to travel to some Asian countries later on in the future.
And here’s to 2006, cheers!
Live From The 12th Floor
I moved to a small studio apartment on Flinders St about 2 weeks ago. The place is very small, only 6 x 4 m2, but the view is superb, overlooking the Yarra river, Southbank, and the Crown Complex. I’ll be staying here for the next 6 months.
At the moment there’s no phone and Internet connection, it pretty much feels like going for a retreat in a mountain. I have plenty of time for readings and TVs.
The view, on one fine afternoon.
