Food

Last weekend, I visited some of my Family for a cousins 21st,
We had Lunch out before the party:

 It's a beautiful flower Nursery down Mornington way, We've been to the café out the back many times before, but i always enjoy their food.

 
My Cousin's Cousin made the Cake she is a seriously wicked cake maker :D

 

Hot Air Baloons

I have twice now had the pleasure of opening my window at some ungodly hour of the morning for work or uni, to find a group of hot air balloons floating across the skyline. The first time gave me a shot as i saw them when reviewing a video from my time-lapse camera. :D
Don't they look pretty? :P

 

St Patricks day at The George

If you were on campus at hawthorn Swinburne on Monday, you probably saw the green fun of St Patricks Day. Green punch, Irish beer, The pancakes and Donuts were green too, and while not everyone dressed up all in green, people got into the mood quickly.

There was some wicked face painting being done as well, For the gents top hats, and the lads Shamrocks, while the line moved, i don't think i saw it shorten.

 

 

Today i tried on one of my new ro kimono gifted to me by another local kimono lover :D i still need a ro juban to go with it but for photos sake that's ok.
I'll go without the bow next time ^^
The eri is actually a tengui cloth

 

uni grounds

When i first saw the grounds i thought they were fairly utilatrian, now from thisangle i'm not so sure, either way i like it.

My Unilodge also had a welcome party for residents party pies, hot dogs, soft serve ice cream, a dj :D and party bags with big stuffed teddy bears in tshirts :D

 

This photo was fairly early on, there were loads of people, though it was hot in the sun so stayed undercover a bit more.

 

 

 

On Thurday the 27th of February this year (2014 sorry a bit late but i took around 1000 photos and got sunburnt (oops)) Was the week of Swinburne's 'O' (orientation) week, while for most of us, that meant tours of campus and briefings on the online interface. For the design students (Including Mechanical, game design, fashion, mechatronics etc) Got the challenge of what is known as an egg drop.
Each group is given a set amount of resources (in this case; paper, tape, straws, bamboo skewers, and a length of string) To create a housing for an egg that will be dropped off a balcony 8 metres up.
Teams were judged on the state of the egg ( Though i have inside knowledge some of the teams sabotaged there own craft so that the egg would break on impact) accuracy, and fitting within the design description (not a parachute , within a certain wing span).

2 hours of drops ensued, a ton of photos ( and regrets for me later in the day as i took most of them in the sun and got burnt.)
Anyway do enjoy :D
