Love seeking women

Cambridge diary 5: Autumn in Cambridge

Strictly speaking, it's already winter. As I'm writing this, the weather outside is 4 degrees and it's going to fall to 0 in the next few days.

As I've posted about winter, spring and summer in Cambridge, this post about autumn in Cambridge would probably complete the four seasons. So there you go, some pictures of autumn in Cambridge.

Cambridge diary 4: Summer in Cambridge

It's waaaaaaaay past summer now in Cambridge. But I realised I haven't post any thing on my blog about summer in cambridge. So here it goes...

Summer is the time for geese to swim

Summer is a time for BBQ


Summer is a time for playing in the field


Summer is a time to lie on the green grass and read your favourite books


Summer is a time when the river Cam is having a traffic congestion



Summer is the time to visit the colleges too


Italy trip

Dad, Mom and I went to Italy few weeks ago. The trip began in the most horrible way.

1. I lost my passport in the taxi.
2. No one brought a camera.
3. We bought a brand new camera only to find out that the power source/plug in Italy doesn't fit.
4. We came from London where the weather is 17 degrees and touched down in Rome where it was having the same weather in Malaysia.
5. We found out, the hard-way, that Italians don't really queue. Pretty much like Malaysia. (In fact, just drop a Coliseum next to KLCC and I bet we won't notice any difference between Rome and KL)

Funny enough though, bad things started to clear out one by one. The taxi driver returned my passport and we somehow found an 'adapter' that worked with our camera. And it all began after we 'met' the Pope at the Vatican City.



It's hard to believe that a trip that started so badly, turned out to be one of the most memorable one for me. I had a great time. And I think dad and mom had a great time too! (check out my dad's blog post on this). Rome, Venice, Florence and Lake Garda were fantastic and I would like to share some pictures here.











Respecting other people...

Religion is the worst thing that could happen to you if it doesn't teach you to respect other people's culture and beliefs.

in pursuit of fame

You do not pursue fame. It just happens to you.

我还记得

我还记得爸爸在我很小的时候就买第一架电脑给我。

我还记得妈妈在厨房里,一边做菜一边帮我背听写和乘法表。

我还记得爸爸常带我去逛书局买书。

我还记得妈妈假装跟我打架,然后假装打输给我。

我还记得爸爸在晚餐以后用一粒苹果跟我讲解地球是怎么绕着太阳转。

我还记得妈妈叫我坐在爸爸的大腿上,她说我会很快长大然后那时要坐也不能坐了。

我还记得爸爸叫我不要看电视看得太近,因为会伤害眼睛。

我还记得妈妈叫我不要一边吃饭一边看电视,因为对消化不好。

我还记得爸爸跟4岁的我说屁股很肮脏,所以把小便的地方放在大便的地方就会有艾滋病(我问他为什么会有艾滋病,他如是回答而已)。

我还记得妈妈拿着藤鞭说要打我,但其实只是轻轻地动一下。

我还记得爸爸看到我很不高兴的样子在地上打滚,他就挺身出来帮我解决我的问题(我是1994年的班际辩论比赛的筹委会主席-星期一是颁奖典礼,但是我什么奖杯也还没准备。爸爸用他的超能力PR技巧帮我在2天内搞定)

我还记得妈妈在某一年的农历新年假装相信我这样的一个谎话:“喝汽水可以让喉咙痛好一点,因为那个泡泡会‘攻击’那个痛的地方”。

我还记得爸爸用相机帮我拍照时,我需要定型很久。

我还记得妈妈驾车带我到吉隆坡的globe。

我还记得爸爸驾车带我到Terengganu看海龟。

我还记得妈妈每一次假装看不见我在玩电脑。

我还记得爸爸每次带一大箩的榴莲回来家里的客厅,一个个开来吃。

我还记得妈妈强逼我上美容院把我脸上的暗疮除掉。

我还记得爸、妈赞说我一出世,医生不用打我屁股我就会哭,所以我很聪明。

我还记得爸爸妈妈很疼我。
我都还记得。
在我还没忘记之前,我都把它写下来。
