Saw this picture and it immediately reminds me of the terrible mistake Churchill College made on our 1st day of arrival, 21 Sept 2012.
We took a coach from London Airport to Cambridge City Centre,
from Cambridge City Centre we took a cab to Churchill College,
then from Churchill College, Hubby asked the cab to wait at the Porter's Lodge for him to sign and get our apartment keys.
He got the keys and the cab drove us to Wolfson's Flats, we paid and the cab left.
Then we had some difficulties searching for our unit after getting out of the cab, really super blur as everything looks super foreign to the both of us, and with all the luggage also quite irritating lah.
After like 15 - 20min of searching, we finally found our unit.
Its at 2nd level so we got to climb the stairs (it is expected as we're already told when we were in SG), but it's still quite a nightmare because we got total of 60kg, 2 huge and 2 small baggage to carry up..
Hubby did most of the work, carry all the baggage up... then we roll all of it to outside F50, our unit (shown on the picture above).
Then Hubby tried to open the door with the keys given earlier at the Porter's Lodge,
AND IT DOESN'T WORK.
It was getting dark, cold and windy.
We didn't wear enough because we didn't know it can be THAT COLD at night with the killer wind.
Quite a nightmare and Hubby was like "WHAT??!! SHUXXX!!"
We didn't wanna believe the key doesn't work, so we both just keep trying to open the door with the keys (got 2 keys, both doesn't work), walking around looking at all the other unit number and to confirm if the one we tried to open was 50. (damn cartoon lah lol)
Then really bo bian, Hubby had to walk all the way back to Porter's Lodge (15min) to get the right keys, and me waiting outside our unit with all the baggage. It was SOOOO cold and windy.. I can't believe we're lock outside our house.. =.="
At that time we were very unfamiliar with the entire place, just took cab from Porter's Lodge to Wolfson's Flat and now must walk back to Porter's Lodge was definitely a nightmare to us on our 1st day..
Then Hubby finally got the right keys and we manage to go in.. the one given previously was our neighbour's keys =.=.
PS: Now that we're much familiar with this place the Porter's Lodge are consider near to us already. lol.
And even though I keep saying here is cold, but I love it cold!
I really hate the feeling of perspiring and stickiness..
Everytime I recall how hot and humid SG is, I tell myself to cherish the "cold time" I have here and don't focus so much on the food! :)
Then when I'm back in SG, I will focus more on the food and not the weather. 做人要知足!
