King’s College Chapel

"The Chapel is 88 metres long, 12 metres in span between the piers, and the vault is 24 metres high. The fan vaulting, the undoubted glory of the building, was completed in 3 years between 1512 and 1515. After this, the glaziers could get on with the task of installing the 26 sets of stained glass windows, which took around another 30 years."

The Chapel is so beautiful. By the way, it was so difficult to take pictures inside the chapel as we were not allowed to use flash. Most if the pictures were turned out blurred. These pics are some acceptable ones.

足迹

坠入历史的长廊
多少名人曾留下过的足迹
牛顿、霍金、查尔斯王子、李光耀、徐志摩……
剑桥不起眼的街道里
仍然绽放着掩饰不了的耀眼光芒

The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences

“A Deadly Shot: There were wolves in ancient Cambridgeshire, as shown by this wolf skull, shoot with a barbed and tanged flint arrowhead. It is a vivid reminder of the dangers that prehistoric people faced. When it was discovered at Barrington, southwest of the city, the arrowhead was still lodged in the beast’s head.”

Flower blossom. Is that an indicator of winter is going to end soon? I’m looking forward for spring.

The River Cam. I think the city will not be so beautiful and inspiring without River Cam.

Me. One of the pictures that I like the most.

启程

四个月来踏出诺丁汉的第一步，勇敢的火车第二体验。阳光渐渐穿透漆黑的天空，火车上感受这美丽的日出。听着轮子转动的声音，感受着火车渐渐加速，我在这古老的车厢里，幻想着哈利波特的情节。故事里，主角也是这样乘着火车，前往魔法学校。沿途一望无际的田园风景，不禁让我想起北马部分的南北大道两旁的稻田风光。虽然我身在远方，仍然会常常想起家的风景。望着那美丽的风景，我陷入自己的幻想空间，在那火车厢里，沉溺。

Back from Cambridge!! The trip was so good!
I'll blog more about the trip soon.

再别康桥

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。

还没有到剑桥（康桥）之前，先来温习一遍徐志摩的再别康桥。中学时阅读课本里的这首诗的情景重现我眼前，那么清晰，也那么遥远。那醉人的文字，深深地烙印在我的心底。剑桥，我悄悄的来了，愿我能在徐志摩笔下那迷人的剑桥，寻见美丽的梦。

七天内

一个星期里的巨大变化
考完试难得轻松
开了火锅party
新的学期
到不见钱包
从来没有试过不见钱包
偏偏在我最多文件和现金那一天不见
损失惨重
现金加上一些要被罚款才能补发的文件
估计大约70-80磅
破财挡灾
不幸中的大幸是大部分的东西都可以用金钱解决
还有幸亏不见的不是我的相机
也不是我的电话
因为那时我父母送给我的21岁生日礼物
失去了那些
我的生活就失去意义
还好不见的也不是我的passport
不然我的麻烦够大
我自己竟然比想象中冷静
冷静承受挑战
这是正面现象

星期六终于要踏出诺丁汉
前往久违的剑桥
还有徐志摩留下的足迹
期待中……

Things I will do after my exam

1. ) Change my sedative lifestyle. I should do at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday…according to my nutrition notes, exercise could delay the onset of hypertension, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of cancer, aids weight control etc. I’m not going to complain for walking for 30 minutes to reach the School of Pharmacy any more. Damn it…I think I’ve put on N KGs of WEIGHT after sitting in front of my study table for 5 weeks to prepare for my exam!!! Seriously, I need to do something!

2. ) Visit more places in UK. I shall not waste my weekends and holidays for staying in Nottingham only. Nottingham is deadly boring…can’t imagine I have not step out of this boring-land in past few months! I should take every opportunity to explore UK. This is my 7th month in UK but I have NOT been to LONDON!! Can you imagine that?

3. ) Practice piano. It has been a long time for not playing piano. Omg….I miss my piano so so so much! I’m not ‘geng’ in playing piano…always play lots of wrong notes with off rhythm. But, who cares, since I usually lock myself in the piano room and I’m the only one who know how bad it is. haha

4. ) Stop stocking biscuits and cakes. I think I’ve never eaten so much cakes and biscuit in my life…yes, I have to admit that sedative lifestyle + cakes and biscuits contribute to my weight gaining! Damn it…cakes and biscuits contain lots of trans-fatty acid which is more artheromatous than saturated fat! Is that increasing my risk of getting coronary heart disease? AARG…I need to stop myself from committing suicide.

5. ) Watch drama! I have been trying to control myself to stay away from drama…cuz I often can’t stop myself from watching once I have watched 1 episode. There are so many dramas I wanted to watch! Promised, for sure I’ll spend lots of free time to watch drama once the exam has ended!

6. ) Haven’t figure out…may be I’ll have some ideas soon…

一瞬间

“Hello, 你好。”

“你好。” 她亲切地回答。

“让我介绍我自己，我叫……”

他还没来得及说完，她开口说: “让我猜一猜，你的名字叫…erm…”
他轻轻一笑。

“Daniel?”

他嘴角的弧度不禁加阔少许:“对，你真的好会猜。那么…轮到我猜一猜你的名字。你叫Rachel?”

她笑一笑，然后轻轻摇头。

“erm…Karen?”

她再轻轻地笑一笑，然后摇头，说:“我叫小宁。”

“噢，小宁，好棒的名字。小宁，以后请多多指教。”

两人握手间，她笑着说: “你是读aerospace 的吧？！以后我向你多多指教才对。”

那一瞬间，一阵惊喜神情穿透他的眼神，说:“你怎么那么厉害，连这一些都知道！”

羽睫轻轻向上，一双漂亮的眼睛配上嘴角勾起的优美弧度，她用微笑回复他的惊讶。

耳边传来Kenny G抒情的爵士音乐，配上一杯香浓的咖啡，回味今天早上在公司里的迎新会上所发生的情节。一幕一幕，那么清晰地在他的眼前重新上演。陌生，又有点熟悉的笑容，他是否在那里曾经遇见这美丽的笑容?有点靠近，有点遥远，一点一点，却无法拼凑。

窗边，凝望着漆黑天空的一轮皎洁明月，她想，他应该忘了。多年前，他们曾经在大学迎新会上相遇的情节，在她的脑海里仍然非常清晰。那时候，他们也曾经好像那样介绍过自己。之后，一次又一次的擦肩而过，他没发现，她却一次又一次地瞬间回头瞭望他的背影。那么多年来，总是那么地无声无息。也许，总有一次的交汇会让他记得，她总是那么希望。这一次，也许他会记得，也许他会忘记。她，不敢有太多的奢望。

到底那微笑里有什么秘密，让他无法看透? 一定曾经在哪里……他想知道。那一瞬间回眸的眼神好熟悉，一定曾经遇见，但他想不起。CD旋转至终点，在他的心里，却是待续。
