i'm aching all over
Monday, November 23, 2009, 10:46 PM
My gawd. I jogged with maria and i feel like shit. My whole body is aching. I did 5 sit ups and my stomach HURTS. IT HURTS to walk up/ down/ straight, hurts to laugh, hurts to cough/sneeze. Basically it hurts to move. But other than that i'm so happy that when i jog here i hardly break into a sweat while if i'm back home and tried to jog, i would have lost 10 buckets of water. I found out that my medical check-up is on the 4th dec... Its for my card and i'm scared. I've been eating lots of rubbish lately like alot of instant mee. Its no good but its tastes AWESOME. Ok, i'm gonna go on a fruit and veggie diet starting tmr. Chicken once a week. Fruits when i'm hungry. Jogging every week. SET! I'm starting....... i think i'll start next week.
Oh yes, I went out to another party thrown by nathan's friends. They're a nice bunch, they threw a thanksgiving party and we had alot of fun... Well, we made quite a mess throwing candy and baguettes at each other. But then again, it wasn't our house!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Met alot of interesting ppl. Pics to come soon!!!
Hmm... what else?? Oh yeah, i went to do laundry and after that, i wanted to withdraw money when the stupid machine CONFISCATED MY CARD!!!!! I panicked and called my friend.. i was shouting on the phone like :" SHIT! WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?!?!?! WHAT NOW??!! I HAVE NO MONEY!!! THE STUPID MACHINE TOOK MY CARD!!"
Yeah i panicked badly then she said to calm down and to wait for the bank to open the next day. Well, i got my card today and i asked if there was anything i did wrong that made the machine eat my card and the guy said tt it was the machine's fault not mine. I knew it!!! Hehee...
Crap, i feel hungry now!

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.
Saturday, November 14, 2009, 12:06 AM
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.
Another day out
Tuesday, November 10, 2009, 12:08 AM
My class threw another party. This time it was potluck and i decided to cook chicken rice :) Not good was that i used alot of chicken rice solution. But it reminded me of home. Oh yes, my package from Singapore arrived on friday so i had a world of a time opening the package filled with goodies from singapore. I have a HUGE amount of instant noodles now. And of course my AWESOME rice cooker which i can't live without. Yes, back to the party... I went with my good friends chia jeng, shin yi the tawainese girls and of course therese the swedish girls. We thought there would be more people coming to this soiree but infortunately, there was only 6 of us. 2 guys from boston and the host himself. We ate and drank until like 10p.m when the boston guys left. So that's when we decided to play a drinking game where we had to line up and flip the cup upside down. Its a long story and i sucked at it.
Ok, then we decided to go out to a boat bar. Its literally a bar in a boat. Therese was so drunk she kept throwing up so we left her at Nathan's house. While walking into the bar i slipped and fell cuz the floor was so damn wet. SO MALU!!!!!!!!
In the bar i was trying to find my phone and when i couldn't find it i kept panicking so i asked nathan if we could go back to his place to get my phone.. He said alright and we went back. But keep in mind me and shin yi didn't drink and Nathan and CJ had 2 shots each of some really strong banana alcohol so CJ was a drunk and Nathan was a little tipsy.
While walking back we saw this black man hitting a girl. Probably his gf or something. Then nathan yells at him: "WTF MAN?!?! DON'T FUCKING HIT HER!!" And CJ also goes and drags the woman away from the man yelling at the man :" DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER YOU ASSHOLE!! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!" She tries to drag her away from the man but the man keeps telling us to mind our own business in french. But of course Nathan is not having it and continues yelling at the man and pushing him away from the girl shouting at him to stay away from the girl while CJ is yelling at the man too and asking the girl if she was alright because she was bleeding quite badly. Her face was seriously battered. The man is a fucking asshole. So as they were shouting at the man he decides to get violent and grabs back the woman and starts to CHOKE her. Like WTF right?!?!
Nathan pushes him away and throws several punches. and CJ also grabs the woman away and starts to kick and punch the man. That ass wasn't happy of course and you know what? He kicks CJ in the stomach. He KICKED a WOMAN IN THE STOMACH. He also punched and kicked Nathan until nathan fell. I was quite scared for my friends because he physically assaulted them so i stepped in and screamed at the guy to get the fuck away from them. The worse part was that there was a bunch of guys standing at the side watching. They weren't doing anything to stop him. Then CJ was telling the woman to get as far away from the fucker as possible but she just said it was ok, thanked her, got into the car with him and they drove off.
SHE GOT INTO THE CAR WITH THE MAN WHO BEAT HER TIL SHE BLED. We were stunned like was she stupid or something??? The guys standing around was like we shouldn't have interfered and should have just let them be cuz it was between a couple. And like WTH?!?! This is abuse and we should leave it alone? Granted the guy was huge and strong but no one should stand being abused by anyone. We were quite disgruntled that after all we did the girl still had the nerve to get into the car with him. So we were bitching all the way back to nathan's place. My goodness! Thinking back it was kinda stupid of us to get involved like 1 guy and 3 girls to get involved with a man like tt. I'm just happy the guy left and we were all fine. Well, CJ's jacket wasn't... She had tt woman's bloodstains all over her jacket.
So after i collected my phone we went home and on the way home, CJ started to walk funny so i assumed she was drunk. I assumed correctly because her breath stunk and she was talking nonsense. So i held on to her as we walked towards her place cuz she was all over the place. On the road, on the bicycle tracks and very VERY close to the edge of the bridge. It was really scary so i kept a close hold on her. When she got home she had so much trouble opening the door... The funny part was that she liked to say the word :"Pfffftt" when she was drunk. Hahaha!!! That's when i decided to sleep over at her place.
So yes, its never boring in lyon. At least at night :)
Hey hey
Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 1:53 AM
omg, how annoy is she??
Yesterday i was watching my show online (i used the sch to stream finish then watched it back home) at abt 2+ in the morning and went to bathe which in S'pore that would be normal. When i went back to use the hairdryer she came knocking on my door and said :"BLAH BLAH BLAH cannot use so late..." or something along those lines. So i thought ok fine, its late and the noise woke her. So i switched it off and continued to watch my shows online with headphones mind u. And then again at abt 3 a.m she came knocking again saying how in france all the lights are off by 12a.m latest and i shouldn't even be up so late blah blah blah.
Before this like in the past week she has also said how she is not happy the way i treat my room blah blah blah, the way i wash my clothes, the way i hang my clothes, the way I cook, the way i clean the way EVERY SINGLE MOTHERFUCKING THING.
"Je ne content pas.................." is probably her favourite words to say to me and its only been 1 month. (means i'm not happy)
OOH, and the cherry on top? Is that today went i went for class, halfway i forgot something and came back to find her COMING OUT OF MY ROOM. HOW MUCH OF AN INVASION OF PRIVACY IS THAT?!?!? She told me that i shouldn't treat my room like a hotel room and something along that line. Plus she said something about she LET me stay in cuz i was sick and something about i shouldn't do something else.... Honestly i pay rent which SHE says covers electricity, heat and everything else. So what else do u want from me huh.. I bet if i pay more she still won't shut up. I want to shout and tell her to mind her own fucking business but i'm way to nice to even suggest that.
I want to move out. Seriously fucking annoying. My only refuge is school. But on weekends i have no choice. URGH. HATE HATE HATE IT.
