Yippee ...

My open book paper has ended. Looking forward to Disneyland tmr. Was doing the train reservation yest at the SNCF station n we had a hard time communicating with the staffs there. Luckily we meet a kind gentlemen who was able to speak english and he helped us with the translation. Turns out that he had been to Singapore n alot of other countries before and we (me, Sarah n Steph) spent bout 45 mins standing at the station chatting with him. The funny thing is that he lives in Grenoble and he'll be there when we reach Grenoble on the 21st. He offered to show us ard Grenoble when we reach n introduce us to his 3 very available sons. Haha.

Still trying to find the route from the train stations to our various hotels now. Having a big headache now. I shld be out in the town center shopping n enjoying the wonderful sun now instead of being stuck here in the com lab using the net. I'll be going back to my apartment soon for lunch then down to town to do some shopping. The shops here close so early at 7, so gotta hurry. Still haven packed my bags yet and i still wanna watch the World Cup tonight!!! It'll be a long long night for me and i still have to get up at 5am tmr morn!!! Arghhh!!!

Gotta continue with my directions searching le. It'll be more than 2 wks before i'll be blogging and tt'll be from back home in sunny Singapore. Yay!!!

Au revoir till 4th July. Take care my dear friends. I miss all of you back in Singapore.

Bonsoir,

Hopefully can get good grade for the presentation as its 50 per cent and the exam today i crapped alot. Tmr got another paper in the morn then we'll be free in the aftn ... Have to start packing my stuffs for travelling le ... Will have to leave the hostel at 7am in the morn on sat to go to CDG to put my luggage then head down to Disneyland le ...

Au Revoir

Exams are tmr and on fri and i also have a presentation tmr. Was suppose to go down to Paris to meet up with Clarice n her mom n bro but i just completed my ppt slides qnd i dun think will have time to rehearse tonight. Haven started studying yet but from wat the lecturers have been telling us it seems that the questions are mostly opinion based so shld be quite ok.

Have been catching some of the World Cup matches every night. One thing good here is that the matches are at the 3, 6 and 9pm here so we all dun have to stay up late into the night to catch the matches.

Thx to all my frens who have shown concern over my homesickness ... Haha ... I'm better now although still homesick but i'm looking forward to the travelling which helps things abit. Still got 19 more days till i'm back in Singapore.

Salut,

Finally got a chance to blog after 3 wks.

I'm now in Compiègne about 40 mins train ride from Paris ... The 1st 2 weeks in Troyes was soo cold that i had to go out and buy 2 sweaters and now the weather here is like soo hot and they dun have air con in class!!!!! Also dun have wireless have to use the com in sch n the keyboard is diff from the one we r using ... ARGhhhh ...

The things here are quite cheap if u dun take into account the exchange rate ... Everytime we go to Monoprix or Intermarchè to buy groceries we always have to choose the cheapest stuffs n they seldom have instant stuffs so we always end up eating bagettes with cheese spread or croissant or 50 cents cornflake. I'm so sick of eating bread le ... I used to avoid chilli but now i really look forward to eating some spicy stuffs le ... I wanna eat roti prata, char kway teow, chicken rice, chilli crab ... Arghh ... there is so much local food tt i miss ...

I'm very very homesick now. When i called home yesterday n i cried n my mom laughed at me ... *sob* ... I regret extending my stay until the 2nd if not i could have been home this wkend ... *sob* ... but got no choice have to 'ren' for another 3 more wks if not i'll be wasting all the railpasses that i bought in Singapore before coming here ... *STUPID* ... Its not that i dun enjoy my stay here lah ... its jus tt this is the first time i've been away from home for soo long ... And now i have to do all the washing n cooking myself ... We cooked potato n onion soup n chicken curry n fried egg with onion yest for dinner n it was delicious ... Made me think of home again .. Arhh ... I'm going to cry again ...

Exams r on thurs n fri n there is also a presentation on thurs so its been a hectic 3 wks so far what with all the sourcing of info for the presentation n booking of accom for after the program ... Will be going to Disneyland, Paris, Grenoble, Venice, Rome n London ... Trying to look forward to it to reduce my homesickness ...

Have to stop here now ... May not have a chance to blog again and upload the photos until i return home cos all the photos are in my lappie n there's no wireless connection ... Sigh ... Gotta go back n eat canned ravioli in disgusting tomato sauce n precooked rice le ... How i miss the food in Singapore ... Esp my mom's n grandma's cooking ...

Au revoir
