    The misses

    After chatting a bit with Desmond,

    I realised how much I missed school.

    Like literally!

    My heart cringe thinking back on lectures, hall stay and the friendship forged.

    How I miss them so...

    THE MISSES:

    - experiments during FYP.

    - late night fun walking to the computer lab to mug till the sun is almost up.

    - our mugging and nonsense in undergrad lab.

    - calling MacD in the middle of the night and trying to get the rider into Ulu NTU.

    - LT4, where we paid attention and dozed during class.

    - Canteen A

    - the walk back to hall inthe middle of the night.

    - my single room in Hall 10 (Thank you Rina banana!)

    - skipping morning classes when I want to indulge in more sleep!

    - online lectures while having dinner alone in room.

    - Prof Abadie's lecture because half the time, I'm drifted elsewhere because the word 'polymerization' is always heard. Its like a chant you know? But he's a cute old man!

    - Prof Loo's interesting class in Advance Biomaterials.

    - skipping perhaps half of Prof Alfred Tok's math class because its 8.30am on a Friday. But I'll never forget how he hinted us that Mid terms will be the qsn on fourier series and Laplase Transform appeared and Jonathan and I literally jaw dropped and only wrote our names on the paper, sat through 40 mins and submitted an empty script. A first for me and thankfully the last for now. We had 4 major mid terms, hence only had the evening before to 'pia' math. Unforgettable!
    At the same time, I'm loving my present! At least I felt good abt it la ya?

    You never know what will happen tomorrow

    Life's really unpredictable. I've said it upteen times to constantly remind me to live everyday to the fullest!

    One of my parents' friend in KL just passed away last night. To think that I just talked to him few weeks back. And snap! Gone just like that...

    Shocking but all can only face reality.

    Treasure your loved ones and pamper yourself more often!

    On a side note, I'm so looking forward to tmr's chillax session!

    For Mt K, I'm doing my part!

    I really hope to scale Mt Kinabalu next year.

    And for this, I'm putting my words to action.

    I'll squeeze in cycling twice a week from now on, cycling up the horrendously steep slope of Labrador.

    My legs almost cried from yesterday's climb. Stopped thrice on the slope and I hope by next mth, I'll cycle up effortlessly.

    Here's me with Pa's trusty Halfway.
    Last week, I laid my eyes on a hot chilli red Specialized bike but it will cost me an atomic bomb. So shelf the idea till I get richer!

    On the 21 Aug 2010, a few of us went on board this big circle thing. It was said to be the biggest wheel in the world. They named it Singapore Flyer.


    But it didn't looked as majestic as the one in London. Maybe its the weather and its surrounding.


    Nonetheless, its the company that made the flight complete right?


    Too bad one man who turned 24 that very day couldn't turn up because he was thousands of Km away.


    But we still enjoyed ourselves on behalf of him. So kind of us!


    Ah Ling and I got free tix. Actually Ah Mei too but she was too busy preparing for upcoming concert, she forgot to bring the voucher out. So Ah Des and Ah Mei paid a hefty sum to enjoy the flight. In return, we took a hundred photos to remember how costly is SG's sightseeing.


    And for the little man who turned 24, this is for you! HAHAHA...

    Jermyn, if you didn't know that Marina Bay Sands is ready, this is the sexy side view of it. If you know where is it la huh?!?! I scared you forgot how to navigate yourself when u see this photo.


    And I know you missed the Youth Olympic Games too! So I let you see the flame at the floating stadium (look bottom right).



    The passengers on board flight D7.

    And lastly, one unglam photo of me to end a torturing Tuesday!

    Paris - The City of Love

    I shall not let my trips take the backseat for my memory these years have been deterioriating in exponential rate!

    So it was Paris I last stopped.

    The moment we pulled over at the train station, we couldn't locate our bus because they had this rule that big buses cannot stop around the perimeter of the station. And I had to help look out for big buese around the vicinity because the aunties say they "路痴".

    After a good 30 mins or so that we realise the bus was parked like few hundred metres away. It isnt far but the road conditions with madness traffic and up and down steps made pulling the luggage tough.

    After sweating in the chilly and wet day, we had lunch at this french restaurant. And us being late for almost 2 hours, the restaurant just closed for business and the waitress was so grumpy she had to serve us at the point of her knock-off time. She was totally scolding the tourguide! Anyways, she left before our meal was served and the chef had to do it himself. Talk about culture eh? The chinese would probably welcome you with open arms even if you're late for lunch.

    Appetiser was refreshing but main course was horrid! I realise the 'angmos' do not know what is chicken drumstick or wing or thighs. The breastmeat was so dry I didn't finished it. The caramel pie was good though.

    Next up was to satisfy our card swiping skill. Much damage was done here and we left Galaries Lafayette much poorer.

    The pretty dome in the middle of Galaries Lafayette.

    Totally branded. I wish I was richer!

    4 storeys of brands. I heard there's another 2 or 3 blocks but we didn't have time to shop because they close at 6pm and we were there at 4pm.

    Just in time for winter so their day also shorten.

    View from my room. Can you spot Eiffel Tower? I think I stared at it for a long time in the cold. It just felt magical. Is this why they say Paris is romantic?

    Woke up early and took a stroll by River Seine. Its just sheer pleasure fishing in the chilly yet sunny morning.
    Chinagora Hotel, very oriental!
    Its like China in Paris.

    My VIP seat in the 44 seater bus.

    Hi Eiffel, I saw you last night. I waved like a mad woman but you only shone a bright light at me. Are you hinting me to visit you again?

    Even the ducks you rear looked so clean and quacky!

    Why did they just chop off your neck and put you up here? They should at least put a life size statue so I don't look so short what!

    Gu gu insist must take with the crowd to see how crazy is the queue.

    Every angle was breathtaking!

    And gu gu say cannot tell ppl you come until you have a picture of yourself touching the tower..haha!

    One generation above

    River Seine

    See the skyscrapers in the background? Its the new Paris. This side is considered the old one if i'm not wrong.

    *Note the golden dome

    Its this building but I have no idea what this is!

    Anyways, when we decended, I was shocked by the crowd! It was like 10 folds of what we saw when we ascend. Luckily we had the priority pass so we were in the lift within minutes else I probably have will second opinion of this tower.


    Paris has many many many museums (700+) and we were told most of them had queues like this below.

    We were brought to the famous Champs-Élysées and I saw Lido! You know, the one where topless woman will dance?

    Approaching Arc De Triomphe

    This arch honours those who fought bravely during the Napoleonic Wars. All the names of generals and soldiers are inscripted on the inside and top of the arch.

    A typical cafe with seats facing the streets

    La Madeleine Church

    Palais Garnier

    On the way to Mont Martre, we passed by Moulin Rouge!

    And this was like the only public toilet we can find in Mont Martre, all other toilette signs point to some rubbish place.

    The metro

    Tram up to Sacre Coeur

    It was always my dream to learn the harp and I hope I'll get to string a tune before I die.


    Sacre Coeur
    Pretty flowers

    The Geylang of Paris has this but what do we have?


    Did you know that France was the last country that introduced MacD? Ronald must have been so sad. And the theme is black and white (notice the white coloured 'M'?)

    The Louvre
    Mini Inverted Louvre

    Did not get to say hi to Mona Lisa because there was simple too many people who adore her.


    View from inside the glass pyramid, I like!

    Last french meal and it was GOOD!

    This fettucine is really good! So far, I only like the one in Modesto's.
    A night cruise along River Seine to end the night. I refused to bring a jacket with me because it wasn't that cold when we alighted the bus. Then the temperature dipped so fast I was freezing to my ass. Heng gu gu kiasu wear many layers so she lent me her windbreaker.

    It was the start of the light festival on Eiffel Tower but when they had the dancing lights, our cruise still faraway so this was like the best blurry shot I can take due to the movement.

    So this marks the end of Paris, hope you enjoyed the ride!
    From Paris, With Love...
