Hehehe.... Sorry people! I've warned u all about the exponential decay of my blog entries. LOL. Okok, so here's a recap of what have happened for the past.... oh man.... i think 1 month. LOLWent to a 'soiree' the week after Easter break. It was at my school. This should convince u all even more of how ulu my school is located. We even have our own 'clubbing' lol. It's soooo far from anywhere so we need to have our own entertainment. Anyway, they actually have the soiree pretty often, once every 2 or 3 weeks, but this is the first time I went coz I don't really like the idea of going clubbing with someone I barely know and those I'm closer with here hate clubbing. It was ok, I guess. Enjoyed dancing to the music coz luckily they played english hip hop songs. The guys even forced me to went up to the stage with them and so I did. Oh and I confirm can't drink already. 3 glasses of cocktails and I couldn't take it already. LOL. Sigh... I'm hopeless.... What to do....
On Friday of the same week I went to this theme park called Asterix park with the Supelec guys. It was ok only. The rides are not bad but they're far from being the best that I've taken so far. U.S and Goldcoast ones are still the best.
(Man... I really shud update my blog more frequently. It's a bit hard tracing my memory back to 1 month ago. LOL. Okok, fine, I know I'm asking for it myself)
Hmmm.... I think for the rest of the week nothing much happened.
Oh, I went and apply for Czech visa the following week. Everything was good. They didn't make things difficult for me, thank God.
First weekend of May on Saturday, I went to a funfair near Paris with some frens. It's called 'Foire du Trone'. The funfair is really American style with lots of snacks, sandwiches, rides and games booths. The rides are really good, but since we have to pay per ride and each is around 10 euros, I only went for one, the most scary one (the most right pic). It was good. And super long. But it was one hell of an experience. After the ride we went to eat churos. Wanted ice cream at first but that night was very cold so the churos were more appealing that night. Be it due to the weather, the ambience or the company, the churos tasted fantastic. LOL
The next day, Sunday, was France's presidential election day. The friends I went with on Saturday warned me not to go out on Sunday coz there might be riots after the election but the thing is, I've promised some other friends to meet for dinner, so I just went. It was a nice gathering, a great time spent. We had steamboat in Yee Jia's place and while we're at it, we follow the election, too. They said if Sarkozy won, there'd be a concert at place de la Concorde but if Royal won, nothing will happen. So we were kinda hoping Sarkozy'll win and then if he did, we'll go to Concorde to see the concert.
And yeah, he did and so we did go there. It was quite an experience. Concorde is a big open space at the heart of Paris, from there we can see champs elysee and Eiffel. The place was full of Sarkozy's supporters, with the stage at one side. When we reached, the Eiffel tower was lighted up and blinking. There were minor fireworks also. I think the concert had the famous celebrities but I only recognise one: Tina Arena. Anyway, we didn't care, we just danced to the music and shouted Sarkozy's name along with the rest. For the fun of it only, of course. Near midnight, the new elected president came to give a short speech. Everybody cheered. It's really interesting to see, quite exciting also since this kind of thing I won't get to see neither in Spore (coz the election is always so proper and predictable) or in Jkt (coz it'll be too dangerous there).
Went back not long after that, and luckily nothing bad happened along the way. In place de la Bastille, there was really a riot, quite serious one. Dingying who stayed near there got to see the riot from her place. It's a good thing when she was walking home the riot has not reached her place yet. People were throwing stones and bottles at the police and the buildings. They destroyed the phone booths and a lot of other things and the police even used tear gas. Jianghao went to see on his bicycle (he's one crazy guy) but from afar. Still, the gas reached him and he said he couldn't help but to teared, even until he reached home. LOL.
