week-end at paris:
went to the motor show in paris on saturday with finnish fren, matti, n his student buddy, pierre.. he was very kind to shelter us at his parent's place in the outskirts of paris..
n his parents r very gd hosts.. n they i had my 1st authentic french dinner w frenchs..
they really take time to have their meal.. we started at 8 with entry, followed by principal dish, den the fromage.. when i thought it was the end.. no... dessert was on the way.. haha..
we ended arnd 10 plus.. which is quite the norm..
n the car show was grander than grand.. n it covers several buildings, each the size of 4 football fields.. n buzzin w ppl like ants in their nest.. oh man.. it wud put the one in spore to shame..
but there ain't many car girls tho.. which is quite sad.. i mean they r like the star of the show..
they really enhance the pleasure of viewin the cars.. such dat u dun even wat'w the model of the car.. those who r gigglin after readin this.. u know wat i mean ya? haaha..
the entrance fee was supposed to be 10euros but becos its my birthday dat day.. they gave me a free ticket.. i guess its the best present i got.. but the sms-es were very welcomin too.. altho i did not reply..
finally get to meet my sporean frens who had come to paris for student exchange, like me.. it was so nice meeting someone familiar after so long in an unfamiliar place.. undescribable feeling..
we had a long talk.. in singlish..( for the uninitiated, its singaporean english)
the weekend ended with lunch at pierre's place n a long drive back to troyes.. n the cycle will begin the next day.. which had commenced for 18hrs already.. with the sun at the horizon.. sendin its brillance across the university..
bright yet not glaring, warm but not unbearable..
how i wish it wud last forever.. but the yellowin of the leaves tell of the arrival of autumn..
my 1st.. how i await it with anticipation n unwillingness, which is due to my body's poor reception to cold.. hmm..
