hello again!!

today is saturday already! almost reaching a week since we've been here....

on thursday, it was the music festival in paris where anyone and everone can come out into the streets to play music, it was fantastic ...the streets were so crowded and free ice cream was given out!! we stayed in most of the day and had lunch + dinner @ home before we ventured out @ about 8+. There was all kinds of music rock bands, jazz bands, some bands with huge stages and lights and everything, some bands just a small speaker. Trance DJs, reggaeton, hip hop etc. Basically the entire city just turned into one big outdoor night club with every type of music you could ever hope to hear...the weather got a little cold and night and we walked so much, we took a train ride to get to the basic area and walked everywhere! so much exercise...we even walked home..lols

on friday, bleargh the weather was rainy and basically sucky, we stayed in the whole day with nothing to do..

today we woke up just in time for lunch and uncle brought us out in the car to see the eiffel tower, we also saw the university district where all the hostels are, some egyptian obelisks which the were taken by napolean during his campaigns in egypt, some mueseums, we also passed by a street with all the most famous french jewellers as well as the hotel that Princess D stepped out of before she died..just basically a huge car ride all around the touristy sites. today isnt really a good day for visiting because its the weekend and the queues everywhere make the donut Q in sg look like peanuts.

triumph arc...pictures taken using dad's lumix

ok batt dying load some more another time

Paris!

Welcome, my friends, to Paris.
Here, have a flower on me.
Forget where you're from.
You're in France!
Children, come!
I'll show you that French joie de vivre!

Hi all! Me and sis are in paris! We're staying here for a month with lodgings @ my uncle's place....the city is beautiful, all the buildings and monuments have so much history and all the shops and places are so quaint!

On the first day we got here, we were kinda tired cos we didnt get much sleep on the flight, but still, we had to keep awake so that we wont suffer from jet lag for so many days. We had lunch @ my uncle's then went to the famous champs elysees saw the triumph arc...

(this is not taken by me, i havent loaded my photos yet)

took a lot of beautiful pictures. Saw some of the shops...things are so expensive here!! The same things back home in Singapore are much cheaper. Like a dior lip gloss is 22 euros, but @ home its 31sgd ...we havent been to all the districts, especially the wholesale district, we're also waiting for the sales to start to really shop. Right now we're just seeing the city, touring the sights, taking many beautiful pictures. Notre dame is simply stunning, with dad's wide angle camera the pictures are beautiful. The church is so grand it really makes u wonder how they built it so beautifully so long ago. Modern architecture has nothing on these old buildings. It has this kind of spooky feeling tho, its a bit dark and gloomy inside but its simply beautiful, the stained glass windows, the high domed ceiling...will load photos soon, as soon as we manage to find the memory card reader in luen's luggage. we also passed by the fountain of st. michel before we had dinner at this restaurant called "chez clement"..the food was good, dessert yummy, the food portions here are also kinda big, not as small as home.

Today we walked for a bit around the neighbourhood, just to get a feel of the place, and in the afternoon around 3 our cousins brought us to galaries lafayette and printemps to take a look, but the sale is starting soon so we're not really buying anything. We walked until our feet were a little tired then went for coffee. I walked into the most beautiful starbucks I'd ever seen. Lol and we saw this couple making out on one of the sofas like nobody's business, it was so funny and nobody seemed to even bother with them. We just had vietnamese beef noodles for dinner, and are basically @ home relaxing now...miss all of u!

Au revoir!

Well...

School at Singapore's most famous university has started again....the hallowed halls are once again filled with students male and female, young and old...and it is time again to regale u with some snippets of fashion disasters and what nots...

From the slippered (absolutely nobody cares what your footwear is) nation of the lecture theatres, i walked towards the canteen for a can of green tea...and encountered a beauteous butt clad in a soft creme skirt...but alas this skirt was created rather flimsily and the beauteous butt insisted that it be covered with a hot pink pair of undies with a cartoon character right smack in the middle of it....and only in the first week of lectures?

Alas just today another beauteous butt clad in yet another soft creme skirt ....this time its just plain black....sigh

And just yesterday a busteous beauty insisted on covering her beauteous busts in a BRIGHT blue brassiere clearly visible under her thin top ( you know black is ok..)....perhaps to match her equally BRIGHT blue track pants? Well its not the idea of it being that u could see her bra..but that it so perfectly matches the pants that makes it so funny.

The Chief of The Fashion Police Department Inspector Mark Chiam and his deputy Inspector Bryan Wong would be most horrified indeed!

At the beach in bintan

We went to the beach at night to look spend some time....and felt the strong wind...then next when we looked towards the waves we saw them big and rolling in, it a majestic sight...just like WOW.
