Earthquake hits Oxfordshire

"Residents across Oxfordshire were shaken during the early hours today by the biggest earthquake in the country in the past 20 years. The quake shook the UK, causing damage to buildings and leaving at least one person injured. Tremors hit the country about 1am and the earthquake was measured at 5.2 on the Richter scale."

I was going to bed after reading some Finance lecture notes. I found my bottle of water shook vigorously, followed by some sound from the window glass. I was thinking if it was some naughty people knocking at my window. It lasts for 3-4 seconds only, I don't know it was an earthquake until talking to the classmates during lesson. My classmate asked me what would I bring along if I need to run. I think I will bring my wallet and passport; while she will bring her daughter......

Formal Dinner at Jesus College



Nice food and nice people at Jesus College. I love their MCR (middle common room), many games (pool, darts, chess) there compared with Wadham. In particular, I like the Wii, miss it very much!!

Moon


No cloud in the sky --> lack of a layer to trap the warm air (no greenhouse effect) --> cold in these few days

Unlike HK, there is no light pollution in here, thus the sky in Oxford is much prettier than that in HK. We can see a moon at the daytime and many stars at night.

Girls Talk 2

Minutes on 16 Feb (Sat) night, HK Time 01:00am - 3:15am.
1. 4P
2. C33BD
3. P.S. I Love You
4. Amanda S, Maggie Q, Jan D, Lisa S, Cara G
5. Make-up assessment
6. Marathon

No agenda for next week. Our meeting will be postponed because Marge is going to Greenland seeing Northern Light.

Standard Chartered Marathon will be held in HK tomorrow, that's why we chat so late to ensure someone won't fall asleep before the run. Time flies quickly, see my picture in last year marathon.

Cold again

Cold again in these few days, I wonder if it will snow in February. Many classmates get sick, it is easy to be infected because we always close the windows, without fresh air / good ventilation. Unlike HK, people won't wear a mask if they cough. As a result, I am getting sick too, started with throat pain, and cough a little bit now. Hope I will get well soon.

I have received a cold call from a Big-4 CPA firm in London asking me if I am interested to work in Shanghai. It proved that someone really read our MBA CV booklet.

Yummy Food at Oxford


Yam Cha at Hong Kong Chinese restaurant Paddingfield


Italian food at Zizzi

Lunar New Year Party


很耀眼的華服啊! 去到外地,必須有中国服飾旁身.


恭祝大家鼠年開開心心、心想事成!

最最最好的朋友, Shasha and Melody. 我們研究出側身拍照的效果比較瘦,哈哈!

中国代表大合照,我發現我不懂唱国歌,真失禮.

來自中国、台灣及馬來西亞的美女 ^o^





很有創意的書法,並很受歡迎呢!
代表中国国粹的麻雀,不過他們不信我不懂得打.

在RAC繼續打麻雀,上晒隱.....

我們玩「剎人」跟HK玩的Killer差不多. 我又發覺在華人當中只有我不懂流利普通話,真失敗!

Meeting Alumni at London


We look more professional in business suits, right?


Meeting alumni from RBS, Macquarie Bank, Cisco, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, etc at Canary Wharf Clifford Chance Office. Just like picniking with classmates. I like Canary Wharf because it looks very similar to Taikoo Place in HK, feel like home! I think I'm a bit workaholic, too bad!
