Sarah, the post that you wanted is here :)

So, after checking out of the hotel in Paris, waited for the taxi that was supposed to take us to Charles de Gaulle :) Never expected the day to come so fast. Dunno if i even enjoyed Paris. Oh well, I was kinda saving my energy for the London trip cuz it was gonna be a 6-day one.

He came late and so we arrived slightly later at the airport. No worries. We did not miss the flight :)

So at 11.35 we took off (Paris time) . British Airways, quite nice. The stewards thought we were Japanese! Haha. When he saw our boarding pass on the way in, he said: Oops, sorry wrong language :D

This time, the flight was an hour and 20 minutes although it felt much shorter than that. :P Arrived safely at Heathrow Airport close to noon. Btw London and Paris has an hr difference. Ooooohhh so nice... more time :)

The moment I stepped into it, Spice Girls was being played at one of the duty-free shops. The one that goes "Tell me what you really really want" Haha... if u get what I mean.

Canary Wharf was where we stayed. 40 minutes or so from Heathrow. The taxi fare... so expensive. LOL. Black cab summore. Haha.. Okay, I guess the best thing here, is to STOP converting cuz the POUND is very strong.

We didn't go out cuz we were too TIRED from all the packing and stuff. So, I was happy cuz this gave me time to get fascinated with our hotel room :)
My room :) Don't worry, I was on Facebook, not studying :D

Oi, stop showing off lar... XD

The best part? TV in the bathroom... MWAHAHAHAHAHA... Never in my life will i stay in such hotels again....


After late lunch, went back again.... Was drained completely. Dinner also same thing. After that when I switched my playlist on, my mum went: Weyh, listen to the radio lar.... balik2 keep playing the same song oni. HAHAHAHAHA...

There's this station called "HOT". Some of the songs I heard

Panic at the Disco's erm... what's the title again? The one that has "Closing of ....door" or sth like that. Hehe...
Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars
Lady Gaga's Just Dance
Beyonce's Beautiful Liar, Halo

Jay Sean's Down
J Hudson's Spotlight

Verdict? Songs almost the same... except the deejays lar, obviously. :)

Haih.... dunno what else to blog abt ady. Guess that's it for now.

I got myself hired

As the title of this post suggests, I got myself hired. Or rather DAD looked up a job for me.

Something that will make my CV "nicer" LOL.

And it's a law office. Probably handling paperwork and all that... Dunno what to feel right now.
9-5 job... which means I'd probably have to go on hiatus again.

Anyway, wish me luck. :)

Diyaa, you asked for it

Cuz mum kept saying to dad: Oi, not so big face ar??? :) :) But in the end..... hahaha...
Breakfast before leaving for Eiffel :)

Okay, as requested by Diyaa Mani of CIMP, I said ''hello'' to Eiffel Tower/ La Tour Eiffel. Hehe...


FORCED myself to walk eventhough my soles were literally aching. Could sense so my feet screaming. Aunty Jola would've said NOPE, stay home. LOL. But what's a holiday if I stayed in right??? Once again, took the metro and then the RER (the one we took on the way to Versailles) Guess the stop for La Tour Eiffel was slightly nearer. ZzzzzZzzzz.... Really the wrong day (5/10) to go for that trip. It was pouring heavily. Loads of people queuing up. I think there were at least a few hundred BUYING the entrance tickets. By the time we were in, couldn't take it. To Level 2 we went and started eating again. LOL. Croissants and tea. Only mum and dad went up. I was sitting down somewhere. Haihhh... Versailles totally killed me. Couldn't walk. Sigh. Pics above? Only from the base lar my dear :) But as you can see, I was happy :)

Lunch was quite late and so was dinner. Didn't really go anywhere else cuz we had to PACK FOR LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

:) :) :)

I wish I brought my French books here

The view outside Versailles

A ceiling

A painting
The Marie Antoinette garden
The ride

Dancing fountain??? Quite a disappointment, actuallyUpstairs of Marie Antoinette's house? Only mum went. Cuz was too tired to walk

Day 2 in France. So the itinerary for the day was Versailles, a place which was out of Paris. I kinda dislike the metro system they have here. Not forgetting the RER. Signboards/ directions were very very confusing. Because we went on our own, there were only some random people who passed by that could help us. Okay, so we assumed we were on the correct train to our stop and then from there we had to board another train. Until dad asked this lady who spoke every single word in French. ARGH!!!! That woman!!! I told her I didn't quite understand. Je ne comprend pas!!! :(

First of all, my French was pretty basic
Second, she spoke sooooo fast
Third, I don't think what she said was 'textbook' French. Pretty informal,huh?

Then, she kept pointing us the directions thru' the map on the train. And, too bad, I had to pretend I understood. Dad was like: Wah, luckily we asked her. And I went: Yalar, u ar, rush so fast for what? Keep pulling me oni??? =.=''

Went to ask around again and finally got on the right train this time. Phew! HUGE sigh of relief there. :) Changed to another line. Finally, Versailles!!! Woohoo!!!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that we had to forgo breakfast cuz Versailles is DARN HUGE. The gardens were just..... WOW. Spent practically the whole day there. :)

Then at 4 pm-ish found some place to fill our empty stomachs. LOL. It was margarita pizza and erm roast chicken, I think??? I ordered apple juice which came in a bottle but wahlau, the minute I drank it, I was in LOVE with the apple juice.

By the time we got back it was already close to 8 pm. Rested at some benches near Arc de Triomphe. Mum went to buy mineral water cuz our room didn't have water. No coffee-making facilities. No nothing. Had to survive on mineral water for 3 days. Hahaha....

And due to the fact that I had an assignment, which to me did not make sense at all because I thought we CHOSE(group-based learning,individual assg) the wrong company(Management), I had to stay back and do my work. Plus my aching soles and sore feet. Definitely not a good idea for me to walk. As usual, parents not happy. What can I do???? Unless someone agrees to piggy back me lor...which I don't think is a good idea after all. :p

Look at it for a while. You'll see Arc de Triomphe. This was before I stayed back in the room.

So, guess what? I gave up on management and decided to do my Economics tutorial. Suddenly, dad came back with the baguet for me. He went off to Arc de Triomphe after that. See how he spoils me??? :D

It was not bad. Ham and cheese. But I didn't really like the fact that I had to bite so hard. Haha...




Anyways, mum and dad came back with McD because apparently it was the nearest. Unless you want sth from the cafe that sold the baguet. :) Btw, they don't call it McDonald's here in France. They call it McCafe. Slightly different. Otherwise the food is pretty much the same. You know, if I hadn't gone to Paris, I wouldn't have enjoyed the McChicken. The ones they have in M'sia... bleh... not as exciting.

Hmm... guess that's about it for Day 2. Next up: Eiffel Tower :D

The post that everyone wanted so badly

Okay, so after much negotiation with the lecturers (which btw, wasn't easy) I jetted off to Paris on the 2nd of October with my so-called compact laptop, because I had to finish my assignments there. Boo... How sad :( Well, I did most of them here except for management which required a little more time because it was an essay that nobody in this world would like to read :P

Anyways, enough of that. Went to the airport via taxi and then reached around 8.00 pm. Had nearly four hours of freedom :) Haha... not exactly lar... after the check-in and eating, drinking, going to the loo and all that.

Then, finally, at 11.35pm we were in the plane. I was as usual, excited :) 15 minutes later, the pilot announced that there was something wrong with the hydraulic???

So I thought: Aiyo... Zzzzzz... So boring.

Took off past midnight. You know the thing about long flights right??? It was gonna be a long 12hrs and 50 mins. Wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep.

Right... after much forcing myself to catch some sleep, eating, being bugged by the air stewardesses and watching Dreamgirls besides going to the lavatory for 5 times,

the pilot finally said:
Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, kita telah tiba di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Paris, Charles de Gaulle. Waktu tempatan ialah jam 8 pagi.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at Paris International Airport. The local time is now 8 am

Then there was the translation in French :)

Oh btw there were two young chaps sitting right in front of us. They are sooooooo good-looking, man. :) :D :P

:) Well, when we reached the hotel it was already 9plus in the morning. It wasn't far from Arc de Triomphe :D

So our first destination was Louvre Museum or Musee de Louvre :)
This is Mona Lisa :) Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece.

Mona Lisa must be wondering: You all love me too much :p

Me with my dad aka King Kong.LOL.
With my forever contemplative mum :P

Outside the Louvre
Us eating at a cafe.

After all that, it was pretty late. Had dinner at a pathetic restaurant. Service was bad. I got the chance to use French here because the manager didn't understand WHY I wasn't ordering anything. I had to lie that I couldn't eat. LOL. Truth is, I don't fancy BIG portions and loved the idea of SHARING :) Practically everyone knows how much i eat. Am I right,Azree ??? :D Sarah would've probably whacked the scallops if she was w/ me :)

My dad being the smart alec wanted to sit outside not knowing that the temperature outside was 9 degrees. Well, slightly higher than Italy but still... WE WERE LITERALLY FREEZING. Gloves did not help. I was already wearing 3 layers plus the jacket... so 4!!! Gah... wrong decision to sit outside.

When the drinks came (tea) I actually gulped down the whole cup in one go. LOL. Couldn't stand the gushing wind. If not for the wind, it wouldn't be that bad.

In the end we searched for warmth and decided to walk around in one of the McDonald's. LOL. Isn't it ironic???

Walked out after a while and then went to this place where they were showing all the cars. Quite cool actually. They had some other stuff as well. Cute ones.

Decided to call it a day 'cause I was already half-dead. Hehe... Yeah so that was the end of day one.

End of this post? Yup. Thank you for reading. :)

Every moment spent together is worth MORE than a million dollars

Yo everybody...

Miss me???

Well, the hiatus was slightly longer than I expected because of the superb modem I have at home. LOL.

Then, the usual stuff... ordering food and drinks.... before Susan came in to join us, struggling w/ the menu. Hahaha...


Suddenly, Sarah said she was having stomach ache... Suspicious yet???
Told Suzanne to teman her.

Fine...

When they didn't come back for more than half an hour, we decided to order drinks first... and

Angel had all her questions

Eh, where did the two go ar????
More than half an hour ady

CCT's reply : Aiyah u know lah Suzanne keep doing her hair in the toilet

Food came





What I had



Our drinks (don't thk susan's one was there cuz she joined us later)

Was eating, camwhoring, joking and stuff... until I realised Suzanne was the only one who was still eating...

Angel pressed for the bill and Suzanne went: Wait lar :) :) :)


After that, Suzanne signalled for the bill....






Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, was I wrong???? I only knew HALF the STORY/PLAN

Was asked to sing but was totally speechless :P

LOL How are we gonna cut the cake???

5 days and 18 years after the Angel was born :)


Great actors la u all...

Actually, the day Sarah sent me the SMS about the outing, I was a lil' suspicious

1) How are we gonna surprise Angel?
Her reply: LOL. Dunno??

2) Suzanne will drive us there...
Why would Suzanne be super-nice to drive us there???
Haha...
Much appreciated, Suzanne, seriously.

See my point???

And then, that FB promise. I was actually JOKING about Sarah owing me a present. God, I never expected it to be THIS HUGE!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU, SARAH




PS: I'm on break till end of Feb

On hiatus

I know you guys love me too much










WAY TOO MUCH

:)

Just to let my readers know (if there are any) I'll be on HIATUS due to the much-loathed EXAMS.

X No blogging
X No Facebook-ing
X No MSN-ing
X No more time for reading novels
X No more time on piano
X No more twitter-ing

.................

Hard to accept but true...

Till I've the mood to go on blogspot again...
Toodles,people!

The day has finally come

It's a day after my birthday. Hmm... sometimes I really don't know whether I'm 19. Oh well, guess have to enjoy the very last year of being a *ahem* KID~ sorry I mean TEEN. Hehe...

Besides, semester has ended and so have our endless assignments. The very last one was due 16th October, four days after that 11 and-a-half hour flight back home. :)

The not-so-good news is that EXAMS are here to haunt us. They'd probably have an impact on your overall CGPA. ARGHHHHHHHHHHH.......... and yet I feel so de-motivated to study. What is this,man???? Well, I did past year papers but it seems like I'm still back in day one where everything JUST started. Haih.... stats oh stats.... acc oh acc... econsoh econs......... mgt oh mgt....


Anyway,forget all that. Now, it's time to talk about the MADNESS on FB that happened yesterday due to my BIG DAY. :)

While some chose to SMS, most of the people find it better to post something on my wall. To tell you the truth, it was driving me crazy.Haha. No doubt, I was over the sky yesterday because soooooooo many people wished me but then the problem is sometimes, you just dunno whom you've replied to and how else to reply other than the usual "Thanks"

Gosh, it was overwhelming. Yeah, seriously. Suddenly you feel like you're connected with the world once again.

And as always, AZREE made it EXTRA special by posting a HUGE BIRTHDAY CAKE that sorta outshined the rest of my wall posts. Hahaha :) There was more than that though. He gave me a BIRTHDAY ZOO. :) :P I right now, have 3-4 animals, thanks to him. Unfortunately, for me, I'm still trying hard to figure out that game.

See? Guess CIMP did the trick.
Hehe...
Just put it this way : He was born to make you happy - even when he himself is not.

Haih... thought it would all stop there but... there were more and more....

Amelia
Xinyi (didn't see this coming)
Tessa (Helena's sis) - never expected, cuz her sis seldom wrote on my wall. Ironic.
Livia - Hey,come back soon k???
Ah Jun
.........................


and the LAST POST (a lil' late but... doesn't matter)

Mr Ian Ng.

:) :P


Conclusion??? Everybody gets all excited on FB when it's someone's b'day.


Now???? Time to hit the books!!!!!!!!!
