OMG!

Oh My God! It's snowing in Cambridge! Of course, I wouldn't be so surprise to wake up one morning and found out that it was snowing outside my window. However, it is the end of March, and in mid of spring season now!!! Shall we greet each others Merry Christmas or Happy Easter, you say?
King's College viewed from King's Parade. King's College is the most famous tourist spot in Cambridge. It is like photographing yourself at King's is the only true proof of your visit to Cambridge. The same happened yesterday; Students, especially Asian, from other colleges rushed to King's and photographed themselves with King's in snow.

My college, Downing College, covered in snow. And it was still snowing.

Students and kids were playing snowballs and making their snowman at St. John's College.

St. John's College. I like St. John's porters (porter is some sort like security guards in M'sia; porter for college=security guard for hostel), they are the friendliest porters in Cambridge, from my past experience with them and it was proven again yesterday; when I toured a few colleges in Cambridge to photograph the snow views, St. John's porters were the only porters who treated me super-friendly when I asked to warm up myself in their porter's lodge. It means a lots during a freezing day and you're basically about to get frost bite due to your feet and fingers soaked in snow-melted shoes, socks and gloves. JeeZ!

Long ago

Huuuh! I have been here sufficiently long for some events to re-occur. This Tuesday while I was entering Robison's Formal hall for Kendo's annual dinner, I felt like taking off with the time machine, going back to a year ago; Last March I walked into the same hall to attend the Cambridge Trust's reception. Embedded memories, the episode of last year, were expelling, all of a sudden.

Oikuan complained that my blog has been abandoned for quite a while; My sister also claimed that I seem busier than PM. Too many things happend, overwhelmed by indescribable feeling, I just lost my words in blogging. On the other hand, I found myself spending more time MSNing with Msian friends in the lab; My efficiency in SEM is degrading- we were in the election's hot topic while scanning my samples with SEM. And my excuse last month is I was celebrating chinese new year with my family and friends online. hahaha.


During Kendo's annual dinner at Robison. Frank, my kendo sensei (teacher) and also a Cambridge professor, was giving a short speech. I was at the other end of the table, couldn't hear what he said and the photo taken also was unclear.

Frank claimed that he was taking with 3 Asian pretty gals. Muaaah, for CL that part. Miao is next to me, then Daisy.

Walau! Speech giving by the chairperson at the next-table!
Waiseh! These 2 sexy guys in Robinson's bar posting for me. It's end of Lent term and students were having fun.
