Schadenfreude

old is gold

Speaking of which the internet is screwed up again or there is something wrong with the computer here. I want to eat something cooked from home. For example, a steaming plate of char kuay tiao or even carrot cake! I know i've been complaining alot of food but seriously... croissants or baguettes. My teeth are starting to fall out. The damn baguettes are so damn tough. Also, i'm sick of cakes and sick of pastries. Well, cakes not so much because they r damn GOOD but still.. can't have too much of a good thing.

I'm bored 90% of the time which leaves me time to a) watch movies or b) cook stuff. So far i've managed to cook up some pretty good stuff!! Like i cooked potatoes with chilli. Damn tasty! Esp if put in the refrigerator and eaten with cabbage. AMAZING. And my parents had sent me curry which i've used with baguettes. It wasn't too bad. Well, ok, i didn't cook that. I have pork floss!!! Eaten with bread is like damn good! Which reminds me i should eat more veggies. I'm thinking broccoli but i'm LAZY to cook. I esp hate to chop the garlic. My goodness, my hands are so smelly from chopping so much garlic and onions. I tried to find a blender but unfortunately none was available. Why? Because there were NO blenders.

Great, i feel like i'm babbling. I'm not really paying attention to what i type. Think my brain just died. Eartha Kitt ROCKS!

By the way, you know tt they don't sell any peanut butter here??? I'm serious, i tried finding in carrefour(in french it means "intersection") and i can't find it!! Tried all the stores and whatnot but i still couldn't find anything. Well, considering how much i hate it i guess that's good. But they sell tons of nutella. You can't go down the street without seeing a jar of nutella. Bad news is that I keep eating it out of the jar. All that chocolaty gooey-ness!! YUM!

Its also annoying that i have to apply moisturizer every single night. ITS SO TROUBLESOME!

Sorry if the post is narcissistic. My brain's half dead. ITS A FRIDAY!

Pictures!!

I finally have the pics from when i went out!! How exciting is that?!?!

But first, the weather is finally cold again!! YAY! When i woke up yesterday morning, i did my usual touch test but the window was the usual until i came out and it was really cold!!! Hahaha!! Finally the ups and the downs are gone.

Another thing is that since i'll be staying here for christmas, i might be going on a skiing trip to the Alps with my friends!! How COOL is that?!?! Also, it might be snowing too so fingers crossed that I'll be able to see snow!!!!!!!!!! WHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!! Okok, i shouldn't get too excited but I CAN'T HELP IT! ITS SNOW!! SNOW SNOW SNOW!!! Or as they call it it france.. NEIGE NEIGE NIEGE!!!!!

And now pics!

Walking towards the outdoor cafe

See how hard we're studying?

And for fun we decided to play a game with numbers. Something like bingo...

And guess what??

BINGO!!! I WON!!!

And remember that class trip where we walked around the whole lyon?? My feet were hurting after that.

Out of school, eating what else but baguettes!

Walking uphill is a CHORE

Class Pic

In front of Cathedral St Jean... Our formal Class pic.

Ahh yes, there was a football match and i think france won cuz the people were noisy and celebrating like mad. They even had a bloody bonfire and screaming til the early morning... Here are some pics...

From what I've heard no one was hurt... Thank goodness its over. Can you imagine what would happen if france lost??!? I think riots everywhere... urgh!

My creaky house

Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 12:43 AM

My house has alot of squeaky places. For example, i am now able to tell if the squeaks are coming from within the hse or above me. Its annoying and sometimes creepy but now i'm getting used to it. For example, last sat there was a party above and i think it was some dance party cuz the floor kept going "thump thump thump..." until one something. Speaking of which, i went to bed at 11. How pathetic is that?!!? Seriously right?? Blame HER.

Today for class we went on a tour around lyon and now my feet hurt. ALOT. And i went out grocery shopping. So now my arms, feet and elbows hurt. The tour was pretty fun cuz we went as a whole class. We got to see the different houses and how the courtyards were built. Its amazing!

Oh yes, the weather recently has been like shit. Its been hot like abt 20 degrees hot. But now there is a really strong wind. How weird that the weather temp has been yo-yoing up and down recently. You know what? I think its global warming. Blame the idiots who dun recycle la!! Bloody assholes.

Hmm, not much mood to blog lately. We'll see for tmr :)

I just prepared an awesome meal but it took me 2 hrs.

I ran out of quotes for titles.

Ok, before i go on i have to say what happened to me just now. After school i went home and i wanted to open the door but i found the key couldn't turn. I kept trying to turn the damn key but the stupid door wouldn't budge. It was after 10 mins of trying to open the door i realized i was on the wrong floor. I'm telling you all the doors look alike. URGH.

Today is actually quite a warm day. I was sweating when i came up the stairs which is unusual for this weather cuz its still supposed to be automne and winter starts in dec 20th to abt feb? I guess but its seriously warm today. Maybe global warming is starting to affect us worse then before.

And now, pics of that FATEFUL day...

Slippers in the douche area.

Much liquor was drunk. Not much by me.

But by therese who was drunk. She kept puking and talking nonsense.

Having a little fun :)

Me and CJ thought we could share 5kg worth of potatoes cuz it only cost us 1.39 euros. Pretty cheap so we bought it. The shopping center was quite a distance away and we had to stop a couple of times to catch our breath as it was so freakin heavy. We also bought chicken, onions and i bought 6 packets of lychee drinks. It was SOOO HEAVY. Esp the 5 kg potato sack. When we almost reached my hse we were sweating so much and it was a cold day too! We poured out all the potatoes and divided it between ourselves.

And a day at the park. It was a national holiday so we decided to go to the park. When we stepped out of the metro we were utterly lost. Thank goodness we found a mother and her son who helped us alot by guiding us there. No asking hei ren!!!

I love the colour of the leaves in fall.

FINALLY! The end.

The things that i notice....

Thursday, November 12, 2009, 9:31 PM

I notice alot of people telling me that if i'm lost, never ask a "hei" ren for directions. Vanessa, cj, my parents all tell me this. I guess the stereotype is there.. Like my friend told me in london, the hei ren there are alot more violent and outrageous. In america they are the same way as well as for france, maybe not so much but they can get scary esp at night when they suddenly pop out of nowhere. Thank goodness they like to wear bright colours. There are more in paris compared to lyon though...

Just kidding... or am i? HEHE! You'll never know!!

Ok, another change is that i seem to be craving for alot of chocolate. REALLY REALLY CRAVE FOR CHOCOLATE. No idea why. Maybe its winter?? Guess the cold makes me crave chocolate.

Also, i THINK i lost weight. Can't be sure cuz i've been eating alot lately. Like constant craving for food. And i have food dreams. AHHH!!! Food dreams!!! Oh yes, i've also been eating alot of burgers. There is a stall in Bellcour square that sells this delicious double patty 3 slice cheese burger and its only 3.50 euro!!! Freakin' Cheap!! They have fries too so its worth it. YUMMMM!! Had that 2 days in a row. I know its unhealthy but its just so damn GOOD!! URGH!!! I miss meat.

Ahh, i better stop eating so much... i might balloon instead of getting skinnier.
