Well, first, i was checking up stuffs for me students going over to UK later this month. Brought back so many memories - the traveling to UK, Heathrow, moving into the halls, Fresher's Fayre, Orientation, getting to know the place and people etc.
And me mate Teddy posted up some old pics on his Facebook account. Pics of the campus and of the Colchester town. Those pics really triggered a lot of memories as i remember walking along those places, hanging out, chillin' with mates or just being by meself. Here are some of the pics which i stole from his photo album (i'm sure he won't mind!):-
Clockwise, from top left pic - the uphill road i usually take to town; the post office; the pedestrian mall in the shopping area; one of the small lanes; pedestrian mall; pedestrian mall leading to Sainsbury - and you can see China World too.
Clockwise, from top left pic - South Courts in snow (HG lived there); campus lake with the library at the back; daffodils; the path in between the North Towers (Rayleigh is at the end); North Towers; Square 4 - Barclays, Blues Cafe, former fountain area; Square 3 - with Food on 3 on the right; Square 4 again; the bus stops - many a farewells took place here, including mine! Used to jog along this path too!
And here's me fav pic - methinks he took it from somewhere else cuz it looks very familiar! This is one of the views from me room window:-
Then out of the blue oso, one of me ex-flat mates left me a message on me FB wall! So very nice to hear from him again.
And tonight, i had to cook for meself. It was just like back in the halls. Cooked, ate by meself, watched Friends and now blog and chat online.
Really miss those days. Really miss me mates. Those were the days. Am so thankful for them.
