There are so many interesting eateries around Melbourne. Just hop onto the Internet, look up breakfast places on blogs, food review sites etc, and you are bound to discover a hidden gem tucked away in a corner of Melbourne’s suburbs.

The above is corn fritters with bacon and a sort of avocado relish. It’s sweet, tangy and salty all rolled into one. Rather tasty and would have been better with a little extra relish.

Was busy swatting flies yesterday. Summer is here, as evidenced by the large number of insects suddenly springing to life from nowhere. When it gets hot, the insects invade. I’ve been clearing out ants as well, as they are appearing in large numbers, attacking the cookies that were left unattended at my desk.

My first hectic day at work. It hasn’t been too hectic for a long while now. Heh, was doing some number crunching and I’m glad this is one of those tasks that only need to be done every 6 months or so. The work schedule feels like a stroll in the park as opposed to when I was in New York.

Got my first paycheck in a long, long while. Heh, went on a shopping spree snapping up tickets for a FIFA World Cup qualifier between Australia and Japan in June next year. Won’t know what I will be doing then, but it’s soccer, I’m a big enough fan to allocate time for it. Heh, also bought tickets to Dralion, a Cirque du Soleil production in May. I’ve always wanted to watch one of these performances and the title is short for Dragon and Lion, mixing Eastern and Western acrobatics into the show.

Barely sticking to my study schedule, which reminds me, time to cram in a few chapters before turning in. Heh.
