Autumn in a little-known lane near the University Library (UL). I never knew this path existed until I brought Gimz to see the UL. There's little to rival the pleasure of discovering for yourself where a hitherto unknown place is, though others may know it and may have told you about it before. Not to romanticise it, but Eureka moments are generally quite unforgettable (for a little while at least).
A first attempt at punting, which I must say I enjoyed tremendously. I became so adept at manoeuvring the craft that I can make it turn any direction I want it to save straight. I think my fellow passengers at that point in time were quite relieved to have made the distance without wetting any part of themselves.
Gimz and I, all smiles after I relinquished the punt to a more skilful punter. I think it could have been Junming.
Fireworks at Midsummers Commons commemorating Guy Fawkes' Day. Guy Fawkes' Day commemorates the sheer audacity of this one fellow (with a few other conspirators) to blow up the Houses of Parliament from underneath about three hundred odd years ago. This display lasted about twenty-five to thirty minutes, and I've never seen anything quite like it before, though I've heard there're more spectacular displays elsewhere in Britain.
Ivan, Royce and I, in Royce's room, the Sunday after. It was Ivan's first time in Cambridge, despite having been in the UK for a year prior to his visit, and I had the pleasure of both showing him around and my gratitude at his doing the same for us when Chee Hui and I went down to London a week earlier.
