wow! i have not blogged for a long 5 months. felt compelled to blog today after being through an amazing 3 months. the past 3 months have felt like being a dreamland apart from my lab work. being in cambridge is really different from living in a city. i love going to formal dinners here as i always feel like i'm starring in the movie - harry potter and i never get tired of it. College life and bonding is so strong here that it's almost possible to have seen everybody and recognise everyone's face. and also it's the college events that allowed me to make many new and good friends. kudos to corpus christi college and i really love this college a lot. and yes, i feel really lucky having the current flatmates that i'm living with. really love talking to them and being around them. so i just had like 4 christmas dinners - corpus christmas dinner, lab 354 christmas dinner, sg chemists (+1hk) dinner and just finished a 21b cranmer christmas dinner. i really enjoyed them a lot, esp corpus's and 21b cranmer. For corpus, it's my first time watching a pantomime after a christmas dinner. it's my first time singing christmas carols after dinner. it's my first time having such an english christmas night. really love that a lot! couldn't imagine myself being here for 3 years and all these events are actually my first times. for my flat dinner, i just love being comfortable around them and dinner just feels cosy. and actually i've been taking so many pictures in cambridge when i thought that it would be a boring small town initially. it actually is not and really it has its own charm. been a fantastic 3 months and yes i'll be going to have a scandinavian trip this winter. going for 10 days to denmark, norway and then sweden and i'm meeting my swedish buddy for lunch at stockholm. am really looking forward to that. Indeed, it's a short yet eventful 3 months. can't wait to see what next year would be like!
