There was a ceremony today to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Great Hall at the University.
It is not everyday one can explore the old hall, climb up its stairs to the roof as well as checking out the carillon.

Yes, it is holiday for the University. I myself will be leaving the city on Monday to treat myself with a trip, after all those hectic days.
As you can see, I have stripped away those green colors in favor of a more minimalist style. Yes, I had nothing to do today and I needed something to do. And voila!
For those who are familiar with the University’s ground, that facade belongs to the Physics Building. For those who are unfamiliar, the facade may look like nothing but, like what Aristotle said long ago, the whole, is more than the sum of its parts.
I have not been blogging religiously as I want to. This is due to slightly being overwhelmed with school work, stuff to do for the Malaysia Think Tank as well as the Malaysian Nature Society, meeting people planning a revolution and writing in general.
And how do I solve the problem?
By playing Championship Manager.
I understand that my lack of activity here will sooner or later lose me my blog readers. I certainly do not want that to happen.
Unfortunately, I have not spent enough to time to articulate something intelligent to say at the moment. And so, the situation warrants a photo.
Within the ground of the University of Sydney, in the southern part, there is a considerably large open, semi-circular space covered with grass with a large old tree sitting silently near the origin of the semi-circle. I like trees and this one is probably the most recognizable in the whole University. it certainly is becoming my favorite tree. It is like Polaris, always there and recognizable. That tree is my rock. Heh!
I have my favorite tree in Michigan. It is the one welcoming students dropping at and saying goodbye to students depart from C.C. Little bus stop. I miss that tree. You might think that I am crazy but I do feel attached to that tree by the Chemistry Building in Ann Arbor.
One day, I will say hi again to that old tree, before I die.
p/s — happy anniversary to ASEAN.
Yet another photo from Sydney. This time, it is a building on campus ground.
This is the Main Quadrangle, the oldest part of the University.
A great view.
