have been looking through some photos and i've decided that i desperately need to get a tan. my face looks so paleeeeeeeeeee. bleah. and i think i need to do something to my hair. it looks positively manky. eeee. i think i will need to colour it red when i get home in the summer. oh no by the time may week comes my hair will be horrible and i will be as white as bird!

look what i found on facebook!

the old rj! omg, i feel so so so old now.


i remember this was where i found out that i was going to be stuck with ymw (urgh) for 2 years. i think she was up on the spiral staircase and i was standing below. and we were both exclaiming and pretending to be excited that we were in the same class. hahah KIDDING ymw :)

old lt! complete with the lousy tables which fell as you fell asleep.

and the court..! where we played touch. it all felt so long ago. and i dont remember much abt trainings in the old rj at all!

i remember holding our skirts down when we walked past the windy area near the hockey tables, THE FALL(and i still have the chipped tooth to prove it), learning golf and chasing the ball retardedly all over the field, the air conditioned TSes with squeaky stairs, the vandalised lockers, the ugly ugly library which i never stepped into more than twice (and ymw's unfortunate incident with the ngiao librarian hahaaa), getting locked in in ghim moh sec (oh no, was it ghim moh sec?) after trainings which ended at 730 pm, our class birthday party (cant remember for who, but probably the only one) in the handball court where we took really strange pictures where we all tried to form '3k'. i think it was a mango cake.

strangely enough, i dont remember where i went every morning.

happy valentine's day!

so we were all colour coordinated on valentine's day! check out the guys' declaration of love and the girls' cool pink ribbon hairbands.

ahhh the week has gone by so fast! tmr is friday already!!!

why do i always get the ones i don't want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anw massive girls night out yesterday was quite funn.... dinner at spoons was good... got to talk to different ppl. wv and i shared a pitcher of yummy green lagoon while all the angmoh girls had like a pitcher to themselves plus like 10 extra shots. hannah and i have made a pact to get completely hammered during may week. hmmm. pretty dresses pretty shoes. hammered. hmmm..... spoons can be really anal about ids. luckily i came prepared. muahahha. we got id screened like 3 times! seriously. cindies after was. not that great. music was so-so. can you believe they only played a verse of mr brightside. that is a crime in itself. but yahhh there were like a million fit blokes around but guess what! i got pulled by the dodgiest looking one! not fair!!! am sad. destined to a life of loneliness and misery.

while waiting for the bus on the way back from pfp today, nats and i got attacked. it was actually quite scary. i was busy taking my uni card out when someone whacked me on my shoulder. it was this like complete psycho maniac and he started shouting random shit and giving me killer looks as he walked away..... i was more in shock than terrified. this other girl at the bus stop was completely shocked and she kept going are you alright are you alright? i suppose it was quite scary. nats and i pretty shaken up but never mind. 15min later the same psycho comes up the street and starts shouting horrid things as he walks towards us. i'm like terrified now. but we've got nowhere else to go. i thought it might be a racial thing but i think it's a gender thing. cos he kept saying stuff like: you think you're all f-ing godesses. and then he like spat at the girl and nats! by the time he got to me he ran out of spit i think. but seriously. damn scarryyyy. i honestly don't know what i would have done if he came by one more time. dodgy bit of town.

anw.
tmr off to oxford for..... dong dong dong chiang dong dong dong chiang!
chinese new year. am most excited!!

pretty pretty queens'

hahha so cheryl laura whui xiufang caroline came down for the weekend. we did the most touristy things! haha but at least it gave me a chance to take nice photos of my college. the weather on sunday was amazing! can you believe just a few days ago, it was snowing!?

haha pretty much the same views of queens'. the mathematical bridge.

went down to the boat houses to see some rowing action.
queens' boat house
hot blokes rowing by. haha ok actually i can't tell if they are hot but.

the weekend was really really incredible. so fun!! haha didn't touch any anatomy though. mmm will post photos if and when i get them!

God of Wonders

Lord of all creation
Of water, earth, and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on High

God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of heaven and earth (2X)

Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
And as I stumble through the darkness
I will call Your name by night

God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of heaven and earth (2X)

Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth (3X)

God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
Precious Lord, reveal Your heart to me
Father holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy, holy, holy

somehow this song struck me during worship today.

SNOWWWWWWWWWWW

i don't think the photos quite do it justice!

realised i've never actually shown you my college. so here it is in all it's wintry glory! (toned down by poor photography skills.)
i don't know what this place is called... but it's just outside dokett. and is gorgeous covered by snow!
walnut tree court... we have supervisions in one of the buildings. i mean that is how cool right!! just seems surreal... haha when i see tourists around desperately snapping photos while i'm rushing around to supers, it suddenly occurs to me... OMG i'm actually studying here. IN CAMBRIDGE. GAHHHHH!!
view of walnut tree court from the roof of erasmus. heh isn't it cool how there's like a circle of less snow around the tree? ok just being geeky here.
down by the river....
and of course our favourite wooden bridge. that has survived til now...

x_x sick and unhappy :(

today the weather was impossibly cold and i felt like shit... had the worst sore throat (ok i still have my voice. but it might be disappearing soon) kept drifting off during lectures... ):

but today was still quite fun. explored the zoology museum with hannah cos we were looking for some place warm. with 25p hot chocolates. yummm... spent like an hour discussing why a horse has 3 bits of leg.... and why ppl ride horses and not.. cows. haha good fun except my head felt quite heavy.

then in the afternoon went to newnham croft to help out with a class. 4/5 year olds. gosh they are seriously sooooo adorable! this boy grabbed my hand and brought me to see a bit of poo he brought in from the garden. and they're so friendly. they kept smiling at me and telling me random bits of information like their favourite power ranger or their mum's name. seriously so so so cute. hahaha i don't think my kindergarten was that fun...

anyway excited abt valentine's day! noooo not THAT kind of excited. some girls in my college are organising this massive single girls outing... spoons then cindies. should be fun. muahahha this is the cool gang lehhh. haha only because i know hannah that's why i got an invite. should be good lar... wv and i were intially planning to watch a weepy lovey-dovey show to make us feel miserable. but this has got to be 10000000 times better.

steeplechase on monday. i'm dead. today kept dozing off while studying.

only in cambridge...

1. will 2 boys dressed JUST in bedsheets stand up during dinner and sing a rousing rendition of god save the queen.... haha after dinner i saw the same boys minus bedsheets walking around college blindfolded in their boxers. i have no idea why.... it just seems like one of those frat boy thingys in movies.

2. will rag blind date work. haha i kind of wish i signed up for it cos it sounds like good fun. but then again, listening to alexc and pete discuss their prospective dates during dinner.... good thing i didn't. can you imagine being discussed in such horrible terms in front of a whole group of random ppl in other colleges??? haha i feel a bit sorry for those girls but it was sooo funny listening to them! alexc put 5 words to describe yourself: digastric, scalene etc etc. stupid medic terms. haha seriously seriously laughing so hard.

3. will we have such engaging conversations regarding trendy labcoats and pharyngeal arches. nuff said!

Fix You - Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you loose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I..

Tears stream, down your face
I promise you I will learn from the mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I..

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

this. is a classic. i love the music. and the lyrics.

happy birthday sarabirdiebirdbird!!! :)

the amazing robinson formal!
last night... haha it was so so funny. robinson medics are crazy and tom when he gets drunk... hahaha "talk to me now because i don't normally talk!"

the food at robinson was really really good... well worth the 10quid. company was excellent!

bits of the queens' group:

best photo of the night: haha the lady right in the centre was like the person in charge of formals and she kept circling the hall looking out for our pennies. it was sooo funny. like it was as if she was attracted by the sound of pennies being dropped into glasses. everyone was holding a penny up in the photo. but i don't think you can see. look at alex downing that alcohol. mann there was just TOO much alcohol last night.

charlotte and the ear muffs. this was after formal in the bar. don't quite remember.... we were all really high. i just remember laughing a lot. but yup... definitely a top night!

went to play frisbee just now. mannn i'm so bad at it! haha later mahjong session.. tmr gonna play squash and then formal at corpus. shit no work done again.

i just realised that it must sound so weird to say going for dinner at corpus. cos that's like going for dinner at the corpse isn't it?

histology is seriously the best lesson ever! nooo i don't mean the microscope bit. my group is just HILARIOUS. i can't believe it. we end up spending half the time talking and laughing and everyone else finishes quickly and leaves. all sorts of stupid things really.

1. tom and his biking comedy of errors.
2. winning a nobel prize/ writing a phd thesis on tying his shoe to the bike instead of walking
3. his internet stalker in manchestorrr and the quarterly scheme
4. rob and his one-liners. ok not even one-liners. observe:
t: oh do you reckon they'd let us keep our rooms in fisher over the holidays?
me: yeahh well they wouldn't want to let out doubles for conferences right?
t: depending on what conference it is.
-pause-
r: OooOoOoohhhhh!
5. c: oh i'm going to xxxxxx in the lake district
t: oh that's the smelly bit.
6. the strange histology lady that we'll all laugh at 30years down the road. it's mean i know but whenever she does the briefing, the 4 of us just start giggling and have to look away from each other.

HAHAHA
