un long dimanche de fiancailles

well, finally, after 3 and 1/2 months, i've finished my first french novel, titled "un long dimanche de fiancailles", which means "a very long engagement"..



it should not be unfamiliar, because it was aired in many cinemas here about 2 months back, or something like that..
beautiful movie - watched it in france-, it was so huge, there were posters everywhere months before they hit the cinema..
but i think it was not that huge here in singapore, well, at least to the frenchs who are living here, it's something in their patriotism, and those who are learning french here, including yours truly, it is..

anyway, back to the novel, hard to understand, i had to practically carry my french-english dictionary with me when reading..
at least it keep my french going, maybe not improving, but at least i'm not losing it either.. oh well, mieux que rien(better than nothing!)..

so, being much the wiser, i shall stick to an easier french novel in the future.. but be sure to watch this show, get it from the dvd shop, download from bittorrent, kazaa, burn from your friends, whatever ok, just get it! you won't regret it..
