one final note: if John Travolta had told me that retro moves looked this good .. i'll probaly have bothered to learn some more mambo moves... haha

Monday "Flight" Fever


... the true story behind this pic was my left wrist was already busted when i attempted this jump, i was not going to let it brace my imminent crash landing which was why i made sure it was the last thing to hit the ground !

Arc de Triumpe... check out the china man in the right bottom corner.

on the way to taking this pic .. we were approach by 2 chinese nationals asking if we could help them purchase some Louis Vuitton bags apparently there was some form of customs law that prevented them from spending more than 1000 euros. ... get this .. they wanted to buy 2000 Euros more of LV products on top of the 1000 they already spend ! best part of it all they told us they had the CASH .. for a split second i toyed with the idea of pulling out my pen to rob them ..hahah..jk

PARIS Day 1

Headed over for a short trip to Paris to meet up with PQ's parents and of course get resupplied with some goodies from back home !! ... haha ... had to catch a 7am flight from copenhagen which also meant that we had to wake up @ abt 4am... which is usually the time i head to bed ! There's nothing much to say abt the Air France flight except that it sure as hell was not SIA ... cold croissant..some cold sandwich n smthg else.. oh well at least there was some food. Oh and we manage to get abt 50 euros worth of VAT refunds from our grocery shopping...being the poor students that we are, that was kinda shiok.

Having been to Paris b4 i was pretty interested to see how much of it has changed ... i kinda knew the charm and vibe that surrounds it and sadly also that it was gonna be dirty ...streets filled with chewing gum ... subway smelled like horse pee... dog shit on the pavements... etc etc . And of course the usual fun fair with the occasional french dude that pretends he does not know how to speak english and answers in french. However, my experience with the french exchange students here have left me with sort of a mixed impression. They have been really nice and fun to talk to, which led me to wonder if things have changed since i was last there.

Upon arriving @ Charles De Gaulle airport, you'll notice that it is quite run down which is a little surprising considering it is one of the busiest airports in europe constantly being ranked amg the top 3 in passenger traffic. I figured with that much volume they could at least spend some of that airport tax that they collect to beautify the place , afterall first impression can sometimes be a lasting one.

pq took these shots while i was busy sleeping .. haahah

After getting lost for awhile trying to figure out where to get our train tickets to the city center and spending a good 40 mins in the line, we were greeted by this counter dude. We werent very familiar with which pass to buy but we knew that we needed to get one for unlimited travel and to cut a long story short he was being quite a prick and was trying to hardsell us like a Sim lim square salesman some paris vista card which cost smthg like 50+ euros. We settled for the carte orange pass which was priced @ 31 euros (1-5 zones) for a week pass thats like 62 sing...its farking expensive when you consider the trains and the subway they have are in some serious need of cleaning. Even in comparision to copenhagen, its bloody dirty. Seriously, you'll really appreciate the public transport SMRT & SBS provides, not just the price but the cleanliness. I would also like to say a big thank you to the ah neh/ah soh/ah pek that cleans our mrt station ... it really makes a difference.

Afterall that initial ho-ha we finally got down to touring paris proper,

First Stop Sacre Coeur:

this dude plays the harp superbly and ... and guess what .. he sells his CD as well .. maybe the orchard rd tunnel guy should do the same .. but i think he maybe cmi ... cos his singing not exactly very zai...
