Was my mum's bdae last week on Monday. I didn't give her anything though this year. Haiz... not even a card. Feeling a bit bad here. But I'll do something nx year. Staying away from her for so long makes me realize how much she means to me. She's really the best mum to me, a really good fren to me, too. Though I always take her for granted. Oh, and she complained to me about both her children always don't mind cooking for other people but not for her. LOL. Oh well, looks like I have a lot of people to cook for once I got back to Spore. Can u all just come to my house on 1 day and I just cook for all of u? Rather than me cooking for different groups of people with of course the same menu again and again. After all u know I have very limited menu, of course with my famous black pepper beef and my infamous soup. LOL.There's these 2 guys from NUS who just came last week to Supelec for 2 months research study. One of them is Indonesian. Kinda glad he's here coz somehow being able to speak Indonesian again face to face after so long makes me feel more like home. Hahaha... Went to this place called 'Catacomb' in Paris with him on the next day. It's an underground tunnels where some parts of them are used to bury people in the past. There were soooo many skulls there, arranged in piles along the tunnels. I have some pics of it but it's kinda late at night now and I'm feeling a bit creepy looking at it alone now. So, I'll do it some other time k? (Once a chicken always a chicken, right Ross? LOL) Oh, there was this time when we were inside the tunnel and got separated from the rest, then we were looking at one side of the tunnel when suddenly there was a pretty loud thump sound. Gosh, it scared us to death. We quickly walked faster to join the rest.
The next day I watched Spiderman 3 with Luc. It was OK I guess. And France cinema as u all guessed, is very expensive. 9 euros, which is like 18 sing. But OKlah, can't really see it that way. Anyway, it's free seating in France. Some people even sit on the stairs since the back seats were all full.
From there I met Dingying to have dinner together. Went to this Chinese food resto. It's very funny there, they use weighing machine to calculate the price. The food was nothing great.
We planned to go bar hopping that night, actually. We're supposed to meet with YeeJia and Jianghao at 9 and then go to Buddha Bar first, apparently a very famous one. Dingying has actually warned us about the place being super ex. But I didn't think it was THAT ex. The place is nice though, it's a resto bar with their own selection of exotic music. We only ordered one drink each, of course. That one drink was enough to fail our bar hopping plan. Haha... So we decided to walk around Paris at night, instead and just in time to catch the last train. That night I stayed overnight at YeeJia's place.
The nx day we went to a flea market just to see how it is here. Nothing interesting, though. Even the stuffs are lousy and the place is a bit eerie. There are a lot of scary looking people, some did the 'ni hao' thing to us over and over again. Hate it. So we only stayed for not even an hour and went to this science centre instead. Nothing much at the science centre except for this huge mirror ball. The rest of the day we just spent strolling in the park located behind the science centre. There were some musical performances there, so we stayed to watch them.
