As the title suggests...today's post is about Red Bull and the University of Western Australia (UWA). During the Perth International Festival, which I wrote a preview on, there were 2 Red Bull chicks handing cans of Red Bull to people at the festival...and for some reason most of the people surrounding the car were guys...
This post also kicks off part 1 of the Perth International Festival "series" that I'll be rambling about for the next post or so.
OK...maybe not all the time...coz girls DID collect their free Red Bulls every now and then :P
And of course, I took pictures of the Red Bull car because of the car plate! WIINGS. It seriously reminds me of the time I took half a tiny glass of Red Bull, and I was like @_@ the whole night. Couldn't sleep, yet felt so light-headed. I never took Red Bull or any energy drink for the matter, ever again.
The girls were loading their containers with Red Bull cans when they arrived...
And of course, they started chatting with customers and taking pictures! Through the camera lens, they looked really friendly and approachable. I never approached them though - remember I mentioned that I decided to avoid Red Bull or any other energy drink?
Unfortunately the girls ran out of Red Bull - thanks to the massive crowd, and had to leave and grab more.
They did come back in the late afternoon, though! And the chatting resumed.
And of course, the Red Bull supply depleted pretty fast and they had to leave.

A couple of days after the festival, I went to the University of Western Australia (UWA) to gate-crash one of my awesome buddies' classes. It was during a one-week break, and I heard that UWA was a pretty good place for taking photos. So my buddy dropped by and I spent a whole day there. The bulk of it was spent in class...
And playing piano of course. The first place I visited was the music studio in the music faculty. They were actually pretty spacious! But they didn't have grand pianos. The good thing was that the pianos were new and relatively well-maintained...for now.
UWA kinda reminds me of Melbourne University. Probably because of the old buildings. Did an entry on the Old Quad in Melbourne University, about a year ago, and did a Memories of Victoria post before I moved to Perth. WHOA...time sure flies. And I miss my buddies in Victoria very (x infinity) much!!
Of course, I HAD to visit Winthrop Hall and the famous clock tower! I heard people actually came to Winthrop Hall to take wedding pictures - maybe they met in UWA and hence decided to make UWA one of their destinations for wedding pictures?

Anyways...'nuff said. I guess it's pretty self-explanatory why Winthrop Hall is such a prominent landmark in UWA.
We actually went to Winthrop Hall twice - once in the afternoon when the sky was really clear and blue, and once more in the evening during sunset.

Intricate carvings on the highest points of Winthrop Hall, lit up by the setting sun.
There were also ducks swimming in the shallow pond - spotted them in the arvo and in the evening. These were taken in the evening...

And one of the ducks - presumably the biggest, fattest and most laid-back one, was just sitting by the side LIKE A BOSS. Oh no. I mean #likeaboss. He never moved, and only made some noises when I came up to take a picture of him. And all the while, my buddy was muttering, "I want my Peking Duck"...you can roughly guess why.
His buddies? Well they were swimming around.

I guess that pretty much sums up part 1 of the Perth International Festival "series"! Will be back! Now...time to focus on interpreting some WAIS-IV (aka intelligence testing) scores!
