Conquering Bourke & Crown

Left to Right: Mx, Ms Crocs & Mr Anime

So how did conquering Bourke and Crown came to be? Quite an interesting story to that.

The day was just like another other, except in this case there was less pressure from the academic world now that most of us are done with our exams. The sun was out in mid sky, flaring out against the baby blue backdrop skies and white cotton clouds.

Mx & Ms Crocs

Cool breezy winds were sweeping throughout the city and amidst the noises and sights of the hustling bustling city, Ms DT and I found ourselves heading up to the QV to meet and play catch up with some dear old friends: Ms Crocs and Mr Anime who brought along their friend, Mx at Max Brenners.

Being a good day, the five of us decided to enjoy the weather outside the chocolate café – where I decided to go for the small ice-cream popsicle they offered on the menu. Much to Ms Croc’s misery, as she was trying her hardest to resist the temptation to give in and buy self one, despite the fact that her stomach was filled up to the brim with luncheon that ended not more than 15 mins before our get together.

As we hung out in Max Brenners, the gang took turns to play around with Primo - it was a great opportunity to kill time as we had plenty of it to spare that day. After the refreshing afternoon break, we headed back to Mr Anime’s place for a bit of relaxation from the sun before dropping by RMIT to check out his architectural exhibition (more on that later) which was to take place later on the week.

After a little fixing and rearranging, the group headed out back into the streets. We went through the back (I think) alleyways of the university, where I found the architectural designs of the building interesting. Out came primo for a little play… .and this was what eventually led to the Jump Shots of the day.

First Jump shot of the day

Pretty soon from RMIT, our jump shot craze led us down to Bourke against the nice backdrop of the sun setting…. We even came across Mr Silhouette and managed to convince him and his friends to join in the jump shot in Bourke Street – scuttling back and forth to give way to the trams. As the day, night and eventually the midnight hours dawned on… we were still out and about in Melbourne doing several jump shots…Even I joined in the fun… and ended up hurting myself.
