Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Stolen Birthday (~jinghan)
So, I have a friend of mine who, despite being super smart, is only just turning 18 this year. It’s been ages since anyone I’ve known has turned 18. And then I have an idea… and here you witness the birth of all things evil. — — — — — Imagine this: it’s the morning […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/07/05/chapter-twenty-nine-the-stolen-birthday-jinghan

HOLIDAYS
There isn’t a sweeter word in the English language than holidays. It strikes joy into the heart of every university student everywhere, and particularly in this university student. I finished my exams a week ago and I can safely say I have done very little, achieved absolutely nothing and I am LOVING it. I will […] -
3 months to relive [Daniel]
3 months it’s been since I last visited this place. An unkept corner of the internet which except for me had no real patronage, no real life. A ghost town….. or so I thought. Moving back I see words, not mine, on the walls, comments to-ing and fro-ing, more than just a few spatterings of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/25/3-months-to-relive-daniel

Honey Oat Fingers (~jinghan)
What’s a good Steam Train Adventure without honey oat fingers? These are a favourite of my birthday friend’s and we made them the night before nicking off a few soft crumbling slices while they were still hot from the oven. This was one of the first things I ever baked. Honey oat fingers are dead […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/19/honey-oat-fingers-jinghan

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Steam Train Adventure (~jinghan)
“June seems to be quite popular for birthdays.” “It’s makes sense.” “How so?” “Spring.” “June’s not spring! … Oh wait…” — It’s been three days since my last exam and I still haven’t started studying for my next one. Instead I am making nefarious plans for the birthdays of various friends. Tomorrow is my friends birthday […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/19/chapter-twenty-eight-the-steam-train-adventure-jinghan

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Orange and Poppy Seed, Part IV (~jinghan)
Two. Two Orange and Poppy Seed muffins left. Two days since my last exam and I haven’t started studying for my other two exams. Two’s a funny number. “Hi, how’s life?” I ask a friend from school that I haven’t spoken to for a while. Life’s been better to her. Already I’m calculating what I should […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/13/chapter-twenty-seven-orange-and-poppy-seed-part-iv-jinghan

Chapter Twenty-Six: Orange and Poppy Seed, Part III (~jinghan)
I go to lunch with my friend in Box Hill. After lunch my box of Orange and Poppy Seed muffins are as heavy as they were before lunch because out stomachs are heavy with Chinese soup noodles, crispy dumplings and sugary red bean pancakes and we just cannot fit any more food in. On the way home […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/13/chapter-twenty-six-orange-and-poppy-seed-part-iii-jinghan

Chapter Twenty-Five: Orange and Poppy Seed, Part II (~jinghan)
I’m walking to the tram stop, my bag bouncing against my hip with the weight of orange and poppy seed muffins. “Hello,” a quiet voice says. My friend comes up behind me so quietly and unexpectedly that it takes me a little while to respond. “Oh hi! I wasn’t expecting to run into anyone at […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/13/chapter-twenty-five-orange-and-poppy-seed-part-ii-jinghan

Chapter Twenty-Four: Orange and Poppy Seed, Part I (~jinghan)
Note from the Author: My other cakes can be found in the first year blog: Sugar and Spice, Victorian Sandwich, Chocolate, Microwave Chocolate Mug Cake, Sour Cream Carrot Cake The alley between the park and the library is boggy this morning. I wish I had worn my sturdy mud-licking hiking boots instead of my pretty […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/09/chapter-twenty-four-orange-and-poppy-seed-jinghan

Chapter Twenty-Three: Those Winter Mornings (~jinghan)
When you’ve had a day that started with a stressful driving experience where your supervising parental yells at you for making driving mistakes leading to your being distracted by their yelling leading to your making more driving mistakes leading to their yelling more… When you’ve had a day that ended with you realising that you […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/06/05/chapter-twenty-three-those-winter-mornings-jinghan
