About Me

I call the living, I mourn the dead, I chase the lightning.

that starts with the first step of a long journey"

since so many people have asked me

I really need to write down a "What I like and dislike about Cambridge" blog entry after my exams. A very very long entry I predict.

Cambridge Easter Term late post

Finally posting an overview of Easter Term. I had some pictures on Facebook, but I don't have the gorgeous Mayball pictures from the Nikon D700 yet, so those are still forth coming....







International students formal at
Galin's fall into the Cam
BBQ on harvey court balconies
drinking on punts
the regular hang outs in Hao's room, but for the last few times
Last Caius superhall -- heh this is where I first met Justin and you guys, sad it wasn't sooner...
fast forward time because we're all sort of busy studying until......
lots of post exam punting!

Wow those are all the pictures I have on Facebook, but I missed a lot... in no particular train of thought, from Cambridge to London:

May bumps
hours and hours of hotpot
May ball ticket scavenging
Dota practice
Soul Tree Friday nights
weekend brunch
more Dota talk
Peterhouse hang outs
Jesus College hang outs
did I mention Dota?
guitar songs
midnight punting tour
liqueur chocolates
eating out as much as possible
Bicester madness
gorgeous afternoon tea at the Ritz
celebrity spotting at Gucci and etc.
Murado chef's table and autographed menu
Midsummer Night dinner
walks along Sloane St and Bond
Louis Vuitton VIP
Hermes shop-hopping
search for the Hermes cat
visiting LSE, <3 girls
birthday bottle of Krug
conveyor belt sushi

as if these make any sense to another reader? but nevermind. tis sweet nostalgia for me, and perhaps you gives an inking of all the sensations I experienced ~~

Easter Term beginnings

I look back to my blog and am surprised I actually updated with Lent term events, albeit at the very end all in one go, heh.

Spring is here and Cambridge is absolutely gorgeous outside. The sun is still bright at 7pm, the fields are wide and green, the air fresh and still cool. No matter what other stress there is, for those 10 minutes I'm walking outside by the river, through King's College, around town center, I feel at peace with the world. I feel happy. I feel the wanderlust quiet.

But for those short moments only. As soon as I close the door back in my room, I feel those moments slipping away elusively... and here I am left again.
