it's sunday which means i'm going back to school tomorrow! time really flies by so darn fast. i'm ready for school, i know it, but it doesnt really feel that way. i'm just nervous about meeting new people and mingling in a new environment.
i'm hoping the new classmates are gonna be nice people and not people difficult to work/deal with, otherwise i'm bloody stucked in this school. better to be reticent to new people.
of cos, it's gonna be rather exciting as well, to pick up a new course and learn new stuff. damnit, i missed the orientation, didn't get to meet new faces. they better be good people good people goood people!
wednesday's mambo was lovely, they put on Friday, i'm in love! but my friday lover was nowhere at sight! =( i think i was the only crazy woman singing and dancing silly to the cure. they put on blur too! girls and boys! but the crowd weren't moving to that. unfortunately that made me the only lunatic there again, singing along and doing robot dances. grrrr. of cos aunty, j and gossipbox entertained me by dancing along. hahaa.
how can we not do a little rnb when aunty is here right? that's when all the joke rolled in, at phuture. =p
time to get a suitable part time job to support my overspending expenses. i foresee bussssssyyy times ahead.
well, if the new sem ain't too packed, i might just be able to upload the truckload of peeks we took the past month. many many to post! phew!
enjoy your weekend while it lasts. and wish me luck with school.

DAY 9
marinated beef.
f: this is very good in france! you should try this!
e: erm...no, it's ok. hahaha. merci!
more like mercy me. haha.
forgot what's the name of this fish. it's popular there though. tastes pretty good. dishes always come with boiled mixed vege which i heart. the rice tastes like thailand's pineapple rice.
we drove out for dinner in the town area
starter- escargot. but cooked in a different way. i think i prefer the conventional method although this is interesting.
finally settled in for the day
admiring a 'painting'
it's always orangina, orange juice, or wine. nothing else is better!
spiders here aplenty. me thinks they don't dust their house that often
i felt like i was on an excursion for wine tasting
then he brought us to the place where fermentation takes place
xmas trees! and pretty flowers in thw wild
baby grapes
a visit to erik's vineyard
the oldest maison in La Chatre
it would be nice to be sipping tea on the balcony amid all the serenity
felt like putting on that gold frame
the oldest chapel in town
Citroens like this model aplenty here 
and we're in La Chatre
quick stopby for lunch
in the country where wine is produced. indeed. 
look at that cute little thing on the van!
to Lyon for some gastronomic pleasures or Bordeaux for some fine wine?
caravans spell vacation! i think they're so cute and cosy to be in.
holy cow!
i've lost count of the number of les pont 
one of the few more modern structures in the city of old world charm 
not enough photo opportunities at the louvre 
1 last yummy breakfast in paris before we hit La Chatre
mambo tomorrow! can't wait to strut the moves! as if.
can't wait to have fun with my darlings! haven't mamboed with the gossipbox before. finally, tomorrow!
despite being down with flu and cough(again!damit!), i'm gonna recover tomorrow! i'm crossing my fingers.
We're gonna have Anatolia for dinner tomorrow, which we all have been missing since the poly days... yey!
few more days left of bumming around. i'm so gonna misss this feeling. but well, i had my fill of lazy afternooons and days of just doing nothing. it has been WONDERFUL nonetheless!
now, i need a job. i'm broke! =(
Continuation on day 8. Again, the first post is the last one of today, so read upwards.
-------------------
DAY 8
ping pong in the basement. we kids didn't have enough fun before the adults wanted their turn. tsk tsk.
we went down to 'mr bean's' place after. everyone started working out after all that binging on unhealthy fd and drinks...
i wish i can have a basement like that too. it'll be pretty cool to hangout there. and maybe get wasted? lol.
chin! more ricard!
everyone's chilling over small bites, drinks and talks except dylan's...stoning?
swordpick instead of toothpick. of cos they're for finger food only, not for picking your teeth.
dad never got this high before. just kidding. he's always high. lol.
Alex got so excited when i wanted to capture a shot of the cute crackle. it's tasty too! every bite makes you happpy man!
few remaining buildings of the chateau which are out-of-bounds to public now.
fear not, we've got our 'parapluie' with us
see what i meant by we didn't see much of the bleu skies?
more pretty flowers. it's amazing, the amount of effort the gardeners put into maintaining the garden and all greenery.
everyone were busy trying to make the little doll smile. haha
cute manicured shrubs pepper the compounds.
we are all minatures here
row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream.....
i actually resisted ice-cream this whole time(it was freezing most of the time) but finally gave in to temptation...
yummy club sandwich
finally, lunch! we starved souls!
such huge compounds, we didn't manage to finish strolling. they say you need 3 days to do that.
and the show is on....
this is what i call, a real garden
the crowd waiting for the fountain show which happens only during Summer
facade from the garden
unkle has to do a trick or two to make her smile =)
not too happy from all that walking, is she?
fluffy clouds look like they're falling from the sky
more intricate carvings and chandelier
the King with the King
made in 1850?
we were tired and starving after that whole long walk

i still can't believe people from the medieval times can actually build these with limited technology.
Royal Chapel fit for a King
extravagant art on the ceiling
i reckon it'll be pretty scary to be walking down this hallway in the dark. alone. not advisable for cute babies.
a peekture in itself
every single thing in here is so enchanting.
isn't it perfect to wake up to this every morning? greenery, sound of birds singing and fresh air, nothing else..
