Meeting up with old old friend... Cambridge & Musical at London... 20091117

HengHau is my primary school mate. We seldom met each other after primary school. I think the last meeting was about few years ago at a primary school mate gathering. He first contacted me in facebook saying about his trip to Europe. After he confirmed his trip schedule, coincidentally I have also decided to leave UK for good and the timing was jst good for us to meet up at London and went for some places together. HengHau is still the same, his face hasnt change much since primary school time. But my body figure changed a lot since then, yup i was quite fat during primary school time. We were happy to meet at London and still got lot of things to talk about. Maybe I'm more talkative now, maybe also means I'm more sam pat now... hehe...!!!

Thanks HengHau for booking all the tickets and tour. We went to Cambridge on 17th Nov 2009. The place which is so famous of its university. Wish I could study in this uni. The system at Cambridge is quite special compared to other university. There are many colleges in the university. One of the famous college is Trinity College. To gain entrance into the college, visitors have to pay. Oh my goodness.. it has really become a tourist attraction spot. But it doesn't mean we can go any place in the college, we could only visit the lawn (yup.. the lawn..) and one of the court only.




Inside the court

People in fame, but I dont know any of them.

I only know the one holding an apple at the second from top left, he is Issac Newton with apple.. hehe...!!!


Newton again... The language used is Latin, considered as scholar and scientific language in the past.



The apple tree outside the college. Allegedly it is one of the apple tree at Newton's house and been moved to Trinity College. Everybody knows Newton found out the theory of gravity under an apple tree, maybe this is the one.


Another very famous college is King's College. The admission fee is 3.50 pound, so expensive. But we skipped it, nobody asked for the fee.. hehe...!!!

River Cam...




Remember this scene from the drama series 人间四月天 where XuZhiMo 徐志摩 dating with LinHuiYin 林徽因.


The stone of XuZhiMo's poem...

The view from the gate...


Department of Engineering.. when can I become a student there...???


Other colleges...



Never really watched a musical, since HengHau wanted to watch, I was very happy to join him, at least better than watching alone. He chose The Phantom of The Opera. This title is very famous and bcos of that I watched the movie version before. So I could still understand the story line cos couldnt really understand all of the lyric.

We thought the interior of the Her Majesty's Theatre would be very grand. But it was not as expected. The theatre which I watched a pantomime at Nottingham is much better than this. Anyway, the show is more important. The music, the stage, the scene and the actors are jst perfect for the musical. Gave them a big applaud at the end of the show.


Photography is not allowed in the theatre. We could only take few picture of the theatre interior before the musical started.
