It was pretty damn awesome. When I arrived, met up with Yvonne who I haven't seen for months. We went and bought me a panini, which I didn't end up eating because we went back to Emma College's garden party (which was indoors). I swiftly pretended to be a student there and ate some of their yummy finger foods. Bread and houmous, salmon, strawberries and free pimm's but to name a few things! Strangely filling despite the small portions. Strawberries and cream was very lovely also :D Anyway, it was great catching up with Yvonne and meeting some of her friends :)Met up with some more people in Caffe Nero (nice place) in town. It was nice seeing familiar faces again after so long. Caught up, had chats, drank chai latte :D. Yufan's story telling kept us amused..!
After quick mini meal at McDonald's went back to Clare's to get ready for a non-planned night out. Met up with some friends of hers, and tried to decide what to do for like.. an hour or something. Reminded me of being back in Bath and not really knowing where we're going out til an hour before we go :P Somehow, we did a tour of all the clubs in Cambridge (all three of them), only to discover only one was open at the time (Cindie's!), and there was a colossal queue outside. After standing there for like 5 minutes, we decided to go to Ta Bouche: a little cocktail bar. The bar guy was ah-mazing. I think he could've not put any alcohol in my drinks and I'd have still thought it was the best thing I'd ever tasted.. He was just really impressive :) Tenessee Ice Tea and double Disaronno and apple juice for me. About 30 minutes later. All gone. So the first time I head out sober in a long time, I'm pretty inebriated within an hour of the first place we go to. At least Clare was also drinking as much as me, so I didn't seem like a complete alcoholic in front of people I just met.. First impressions and all...
So after this point things start kind of merging together into one big blur. We went to someone's room, where we stayed for a while just drinking and mucking about. Things I remember are: paper fight, archer's shots, chinese take out, HI, MY NAME IS JONATHON FROM SPOTIFY, a mario mushroom, bad photos being taken, drunken texts etc. Me and 2 of Clare's friends then proceeded to go to Cindie's, only after someone fed me a dumpling which was pretty yummy. At about 12.30am, club queues generally die down so we actually got in, and it wasn't so packed that there was no room to move. So; Tequila shots. Dancefloor. Lots of fun. The music was great, the energy was great. Even met a friend from back home randomly. I love moments like that. We stayed dancing til the place closed. Even managed to utterly humiliate myself by falling over on these stupid heels I was wearing on the way back to Trinity. Stupid cobbled streets.. Somehow got back to Clare's room, downed loads of water. Slept like a log. Not bad for about £16.
So, Clare has this stupid Garden Party committee meeting at like.. an early time. So one of her flatmates is banging on the door for her to wake up. "Ughhh ~_~". After some dozing. And after Clare gets back. WE GO TO DOJO. Boy, I've missed that place. Okay, so maybe I hyped myself up a little too much for it but it was still a great first meal of the day at like 1pm :) We picked up a few people on the way, ended up with 7 of us eating. Feeling satisfied, went round King's college and chapel, as well as Clare College gardens. Cue masses of photos being taken. Pretty flowers in the Fellow's Garden :D
We then headed back into town, everyone having different things they wanted to do. I ended up buying my brother some Mr Men books, and 2 novels. Went to Caffe Nero.. again.. with a chai latte.. again.. and started reading the Jodi Picoult to wait for Clare to get back from shoppin'. When we got back to her room, we were so, so tired. Mini nap. Get up. Go to coach stop. Go home!
It was so lovely seeing people these past few days and meeting some new ones :D I think even the fact that if Xin did make it instead of being held back by stupid London tube strikes, it wouldn't have been that much better :P
On another note, my passport had better come back with my visa by next week! This pandemic situation has me a bit worried :s
