The Monday on this week is not any typical Monday blues I had in Oxford. It's not always often
to enjoy mondays!

Jeannie and I standing outside the entrance of the Oxford Castle. The other two just do not wanna be inside the photos.
The place is rather quiet and serene though it's located in the city centre, and what surprises me is that there are not many people there.

We just thought that since we are gonna leave Oxford in just another two months, it's worthwhile to travel around Oxford for the sake of remembrance. Moreover we have travelled London and Birmingham, but not the place that we are currently residing in.

First Destination : Oxford Castle





























It only cost one pound to come uphill. At first, we were reluctant to cos' we thought it would cost about 20 pounds per entry as there's a passcode on the gate. Then we saw an elder couple coming down and we probably thought that it's free to enter. So we eventually did "passed through" cheekily for 3 seconds when we were called up by the people in charge there. *wow they have really sharp eyes!*

The view is-I could not describe in words. It's breathtaking as the weather is so chilling cos spring is very near, and we could see the whole City Centre from there. It is like an organized maze. The buses on the road, the crowd, the endless outlets surrounding the area, it just fits in rightly into my eyes. It's just so different when you are picturing yourself as one of the "mini people" walking down there.

We spent approximately one hour there. Ya some of you might think it's ridiculous, that we are digging some gold there.

Lit Fwu rang Darrel up and here we are : The Prestigious Oxford University.



This is my second time being here. The first time I stepped into Oxford Uni was October 2008 with Marcus and the gang. Now that I think back time really flies. The security was stricter back then, that Darrel took quite long to negotiate with the guard for us the (Brookes) student to be permitted to enter to the Oxford Uni.

Darrel showed us around Oxford Uni. Basically Oxford Uni reminds me of those historical buildings that have implied meanings behind each and every part of the structure of it, though I don't know exactly what those meanings are.

We then went up to Darrel's room, which is located just opposite the Main Library. His room is as huge as my present room in Paul Kent Hall, or maybe slightly bigger, with a mini fridge inside, bathroom but only has a sink, closed door wardrobe, and a tiny desk at the corner with chess on it.

We then left at 3pm cos Darrel is leaving to London at 3.30pm.

After sending Darrel off, Lit fwu wanna go punting. And the girls agreed.

At first, Lit fwu decided to punt the long flat boat. But it was harder that he thought, and he freaked all of us out. The boat was so bumpy+ unstable all the way, it seems like we are going to flip over anytime soon because our boat keep knocking edges, going opposite sides etc. Jeannie and I was so tensed that we hold on to each other and grabbed the sides of the boat, while weiyee, remaining calm (she admitted later that she was pretending to be calm! haha) taught us to balance the boat all the way back to the "port", that we decided to ask the expert to punt.
































It took about one hour and it was an enjoyable one. I don't think I experienced this before.

We had liquor again for dinner.

This time, it's Vodka Smirn-Off with 38% alcohol contained inside.

I was the lucky number 1 to have straight 5 shots after losing the game. The taste of this wine is slightly bitter than Tequilla, but it's more syok than tequilla (cos Tequilla is sweet and chilling). But then again, it's not as worse as Royal Salute/ Gordon Blue.

Then Jeannie drank straight 3 shots after me, followed by Lit Fwu. They could not take the bitterness and had to mix it with one full chunk of Lemonade, haha! It's so fun watching people drinking wine sometimes, cos they don't know how to appreciate the bitterness of it, in which they suffer in return.

Then I was punished again and I drank my 6th shot. Weiyee lost once but we spared her not to drink as she did not want to even touch one drip of it. So we made her do prank calls, and she had to prank call marcus and weichao. This is damn hilarious cos weichao actually got pranked!

I had my 7th shot before I went back to my room, not because I lost the game, but is because Jeannie wants me and lit fwu to "teman" her drink. What a word to use when you don't wanna drink alone. So we did, see how good we are to our Jeannie Chong.














Then Carlos joined in!

That's a rep.
