Of hot summer nights and ice cold beers...

Stop luring me bie! :P I am coming home in a month, make sure u have time for urs truly! heheheh...

Anyway, today was the last day of the semester and exams for my students in melbourne uni. I have organised a get together drinkies in one of the watering holes in the city.. some place called Mr Tulk. Its quite a cool place located (believe it or not..) within the state library building! Yes, a pub-cum-cafe in a library! Made our way there after work through the crazy city traffic. And of course, we were the first ones there... uni students can never be on time! :P The weather today was heavenly! So warm and sunny (at least 30C!).. great condition for ice cold beers or whatever alcoholic drink u like lah...

And proving me right, only the local students came. All the asian students in my design tute group were MIA... but who cares... its more fun with the locals anyway! hahahaha... talk about being anti-social. I dont understand but most asians they just keep to themselves and wont bother to socialise with their colleagues. So they come and go and not learn or make any friends locally. What a pity!

Anyway... drinkies was really good and fun. One of my students bought me a glass of beer and although I dont like beer a whole lot, I thought I would still drink it.. since he as sincere enough to buy me one... but didnt finish it though.. mebbe 1/2 glass? hheh.. got myself a vodka on rocks instead. LOVE my VODKA! :)

It was a real fun night...tonight, we are just friends... and not tutor-student. Everything was very relaxing, happy and cruisy.

In short, it was a good semester. Most of my students are good kids. I am sure they will do well in the course provided they keep up the effort. I truly hoped I manage to channel some of my passion for architecture to them... or encourage them at least! Quite proud of the work they produced over the semester. Will always have these kids in my heart (since they are my first ever batch of students).

After drinkies, manlok and me walked around looking for food, naturally! Somehow alcohol always make u feel so damn hungry! So we had some crepes.. and after that went to have some hawker food.. i know we got our food priorities terbalik! drinkies, dessert THEN main! hahaha... oh well.. a good start to the weekend, wont you say so? :)
