Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

whacked weekend...


i've been having way too much fun...(if that's even possible)...the weekend's just flown by without me realizing it...n i haven't been getting enough sleep...it's been one whole block of partying...so here's a recap...


friday night kicked off with the cambridge dancers' club's summer ball...it was a glitzy affair with a live band n lots of dancing...most of the dancesport team was there all dressed up for the event...it was fun to dance with each other...but also sad because it would b the last for the few who will b graduating this summer...


i had my first glass of pimm's there n i fell in love with it immediately...to b honest...wine is pretty minging...but i love cocktails...n pimm's is *the* summer cocktail...it's lovely...everyone was given a complimentary glass of pimm's...i had eight...


after the ball ended at 1 in the morning...we headed down to anh's for the after-ball party...we had pizzas n crisps with another round of cocktails to go with...it was a nice toned-down affair after the ball where we all had a nice chat together...


after heading back for a quick sleep in the wee hours of the morning...saturday ushered the pudding picnic with the team again...it was a very enjoyable outing...we had lots n lots of pudding (fruit salad, ice crean, profiteroles, strawberries n cream, trifles etc etc)...n together with my cd player n anh's collection of dance cds...we rocked the entire botanical gardens where we had the picnic...i brought along twister n we had some wild games at that...rob brought his frisbee n we had some rough games at that too...


after the pudding picnic...it was back to college for a quick dinner n change before heading up to st. edmund's for a bop...it was a mix of r&b n cheese n although i'm not a fan of r&b, the cheese more than mad up for it...clare n i were really wild that night...despite the fact that i was a tee-totaler that night...(partly because the bar had nothing but minging beer n some rather poor excuse of a cocktail)...


we had little 5 minute breaks in the garden outside...where we rehydrated with water while waiting for the dj to spin us some cheese...upon which clare n i would jump up n start screaming while we made our way back to the dancefloor...it was a good night...


after heading back to college...again in the wee hours of the morning...sunday lazed by with a nice break at king's where they had n open-air fair (with bouncy castles!)...we passed the day away by lazing on the green green grass...with bits of dancing here n there...it was a good change...to b able to relax for once...


n today's monday...n i just got back from a picnic with some ocep members who i'll b teaching english with in hong kong for 6 weeks this summer...we went for a punt after that...which ended with me punting them all the way n back...not that i'm complaining but i'm really knackered now...


i need to get some shut eye...before i burn the midnight oil tonight in order to finish my lesson plans n handouts for hong kong...oh dear...n tomorrow's christ's ball which is going to last from 9 pm to 9 am wednesday...it's going to b a killer week...


(pictures of summer ball to follow once the photographer's uploaded the pics online)...now it's time for me to take a nap...finish up 12 lesson plans n handouts by tonight...n oh dear...i've got xs latin formation dance practice tonight...so till then...laterz...
