I know all of these were suppose to come out before Christmas but I've been rather busy. I'm blaming the 30 hours at work for it. 

To the friends I don't see enough of, who I don't get to see everyday, who I try to catch up with on weekends on holidays.

To, Declan and Susie, the inseparable couple, may your second year be like your last, with the world ahead of you and no moment too long.

To Catherine Leigh, may the new year bring great news. All your goals ticked off, to try new things and all the merriment that you want.

To Yash, there is not much more that you could have, that you don't already have. May 2012 be brilliant as 2011; in all aspects.

To my engineering group, its been an amazing year, the antics, the facebook group and the many hours we spent on those assignments. I've learnt a lot working together and plan on learning more next. To Tash, Raj, Ana, Jason and perhaps most importantly Hazel, thank you for UNIMELB engineering.

My bowling group. What can I say? You know you're on holidays when you're bowling 3 games for 15 dorahs. To Declan, Jacob, Elliot, Jacob, Ash, Allan and Jack. To many more bowling nights.

The following are those I don't see enough of. Friends who's always there over MSN and facebook, ready for a chat and to have a listen to whatever I have to complain about. 

 Chris Greenwood, Michael Hop(e)croft, Thomas Parasiuk and Blair Bellamy, from the Mousehunt Friends group. All those games we played this year has been really quite fun. All those yelling, all the plans and the amusing moments we've had. There's two games that stand out. One when Chris wasn't there, I was phantom lancer, Thomas played as AA and Mikey played as Skeleton King. We got mid raxed and I was like fuck this, one push.

It was with Chris and Thomas. -RD no em, pros only. It was a high caliber pub game and we did really well. I babysat Thomas,shutting down spectre's farm. After 6 a minute creep kills we started and we roamed. We pulled out some pretty miraculous saves and got off some pretty solid team fights and kills. When the game was on the brink, we steadied and was still able to come out clutch. 

To Allan, always up for a chat about the past present and future. To helping me solve problems and just being an all round good bloke, thank you.

To Amelia, thank you being ethically sound, many jokes and banter as well as many conversations about the major tennis tournaments.

To Raymond, for sticking by me for another year
