King Cross Station @ London
Going to Cambridge will need to take an 1-hr ride from here...my favourite station! =DKnow why? Harry Potter boarded his train to Hogwarts here on Platform 9 3/4!
The journey feels short...I enjoy such a train ride though...feels like a getaway from the bustling city life...heehee... =P
Welcome to Cambridge!
This is the place where some of the world smartest persons will be born... *grinz*
Trinity College, Cambridge

Students punting along the river...the most favourite sports here I guess... =)
The dream of most students...
Dining Hall...does it look like the one at Hogwarts too?

Touring around Cambridge is pretty interesting because after all it is still a school...and there are students having their exams at that period of time too!
Somewhere in the garden of Cambridge... =P
Went for lunch at a local Jap restaurant in the town area as Kian Hoe wanna try it...my second asian food in Europe outside...not too bad though... =)
The town map of Cambridge
Tour groups touring the Cambridge campus...so interesting...lol
Kian Hoe...the smart guy pursuing his doctorate here...really appreciate him for bringing me around and making my stay at Cambridge a very pleasant one indeed... =))
徐志摩 《再别康 桥》 里的康 桥!
《再别康 桥》这首诗是1928年秋徐志摩重返英国 、再别康桥时写的一首诗，诗从头到尾被一离愁别绪笼罩着，康桥寄托了诗人太多的情感， 如今又要和它告别了，千缕柔情、万种感触涌上心头，康河的水，开启了诗人的性灵，唤醒 了久蜇在他心中的激情，于是便吟成了这首传世之作。
再别康桥
作者: 徐志摩
" 轻轻的我走了，正如我轻轻的来；
我轻轻的招手，作别西天的云彩。
那河畔的金柳，是夕阳中的新娘；
波光里的艳影，在我的心头荡漾。
软泥上的青荇，油油的在水底招摇；
在康河的柔波里，我甘心做一条水草！
那榆荫下的一潭，不是清泉，是天上虹；
揉碎在浮藻间，沉淀着彩虹似的梦。
寻梦？撑一支长篙，向青草更青处漫溯；
满载一船星辉，在星辉斑斓里放歌。
但我不能放歌，悄悄是别离的笙箫；
夏虫也为我沉默，沉默是今晚的康桥！
悄悄的我走了，正如我悄悄的来；
我挥一挥衣袖，不带走一片云彩。"
This marks the closing of my Europe trip soon...sigh...我也是带不走一片云彩!
Grass fields are everywhere in Cambridge!
According to Kian Hoe, the leaves here will turn red in autumn...can you imagine that?! Haha...lol
Find a little Amsterdam here too...hehe...lol
Cambridge is honestly very scenic too!
Water log can even be found in Cambridge...woohoo!
Eagle, the pub!
Some labs are not located inside the school compound but rather juz outside the campus.
I guess all sorts of courses and schools can be found in Cambridge. After all, all Singaporeans also had our GCE 'N'/'O'/'A' Level Exam papers from Cambridge!
Well, maybe I should try to sneak in and check on the questions and results for the exams...hehe... *bleh* =P
Darwin College (Library)
Darwin College is where Kian Hoe is studying at now...mostly consist of the graduates who are having their post-graduate courses here... =)
Reading Room!
Scenic view from the window in the reading room...wow... =))
Somehow I am juz attracted to this staircase...mysterious, old and classic...hahaha...lol
The slightly more modern dining hall @ Darwin College...the super elongated table kinda reminds me of Oliver Twist though...remember the school canteen he went ya? *wink*
The backyard of where Kian Hoe stays...lovely... =)
View from above...you can see that their leisure activities are simply juz punting and fellowshiping with one another on the soft green grass field...so relax!
To get the feel of the life in Cambridge, you must really try the punting!
Beautiful river sight from the boat!
We make a circle around the whole campus, stopping wherever we want to and juz enjoy the view...awww...is school life really like this perfect? =D
Looks like another angle of Amsterdam...haha...lol

I does not have the strength so Kian Hoe takes up most of the pushing part...really got to thank him lots manz...hehe...lol

Rental for punts seem to be turning into quite a good business here...ha...lol
See the crowd waiting to get on the punts? ;)
Hahaha...helping Kian Hoe to promote his place...so blessed for him...haha...lol
The tree leaves hang low here...you really got to watch out while you punt...
My turn to punt the boat! =D

My turn to punt the boat! =DOh well...I tried a few time to push the boat forward...but end up making it rotate in circles on the spot! OMG...grrr....*pout* =S
And not shown in this picture, Kian Hoe was actually holding the shorter oar (for emergency purpose) and trying to stop the swirling and to move the boat forward...hahaha...so embarrassing! *blush*
After punting, Kian Hoe brought me to the Student Centre to take a rest. Somehow, we found our ways to sneak into the Scholar lounge and get ourselves to this cozy place that overlook the Cambridge river...woohoo...
Cambridge is truly a school PERFECT and very conducive for studying...wow... *mesmerise*
Every college here will have their own school gate at the front, a symbol that represents them I guess...though nothing is being fenced up here...hehe...lol
夕陽無限好，只是近黃昏。。。
這人世間美好的時刻都是非常短暫的，因此值得人們倍加珍惜。。。
。。。我捨不得離開!
Dinner @ cozy pub that faces the river
My dinner -- A beef corn pie! =D
This is another pub I found while I am on my way back to the train station...the name of the pub reminds me of the nick of my friend...hahaha...you know who you are...*bleh* =P
