Happy Non-Prime New Year to everybody!
Last night I went to Emma Hunt’s NYE party at her parents’ place in Milson’s Point. We had great views of the fireworks there. They were quite nice, particularly the heart shaped ones at the earlier 9pm show.
This year I’ll be doing a PhD, probably on something to do with computer security models and user interfaces. I got an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) scholarship which will be great to keep me solvent for the next three years.
Have a great year everybody!
From very early in 2008 Julieanne and I had planned to spend a few nights at the StarCity hotel in Sydney’s Darling Harbour. This was to be our joint celebration of finishing four years of university.
The previous two trips were planned afterward but we ended up doing StarCity last. We had a really nice relaxing few days. Breakfasted at the Garden Buffet, got pampered with a massage at the Star Spa and just generally relaxed and enjoyed ourselves.
A group of friends from university decided a road trip to the Gold Coast would be a suitable way to celebrate finishing uni and the end of the year. Nine of us booked two rooms at the Silverton Apartments, about 10 minutes walk out of Surfer’s Paradise. We had great views from the apartment of both the beach to the east and the mountains to the west.

I spent last December tripping Australia in celebration of finishing university. I had a great time visiting four different capital cities.
The first trip was at the beginning of December, I went to Melbourne with Julieanne, Tom & Emma.
