Skipping 1st week of Lectures

I'm back from Paris!

Let me introduce you my tour companions...

This is Xintian



And this is Kaixin



and this is our lovely saviour from London...





Paris was great fun! and we climbed up the Eiffel Tower... yay! 1 out of 7 wonders of the world conquered!



We had to climb 700 steps... and that was only midway through the tower...


And lots of branded goods... the whole street... so 3 of us just keep shopping and trying clothes and touching the fur and cashmere... the winter clothes are O-so-pretty laaaaa...
Then we walked into the watch department... D & G lah, Guess lah, Fossil lah... with no watches that cost less than 300 Euros... and some 1500 Euros... and lots and lots of others... we were just poor students roaming around and entering the building to have a "feel" of what's like to be wealthy enough to be shopping in Paris. Aiyah. like that can aso la, huh?

Jacq jacq, this is for you! You're branded stuff in Paris... hahaha



we went to an arty farty place too called Mont Martre ( and i though it was "Mohammad") and lots and lots of paintings!! portraits, Paris scenery, shadow portraits, oil painting, u name it, they have it...

then we went to Salvador Dali Museum... His works are great! and i felt a little embarrassed when i recalled the time in Turkey when Jacq got excited over his artwork and i had no clue who he is. anyway, after looking at his works, i so like them very much!!! he does have his unique style and a certain pattern... well, but i don't know how to say it... he has morbid artworks, phallic ones too but has a deeper meaning to them... heartwarming ones too... well, just a couple of my favourites:

His well-known soft clock that show that time is liquid, and time flows towards death (towards the black marble base)


Ah! my favourite elephant!

well, there's too much to blog, and quite tired now... so just leave a picture of myself, just in case any is curious to see how much i've changed... although not much.


and lastly lastly... our all time favourite picture...


Oh yeah, Viggy... this is for you... it's not all vegetables, but it's indian food i found in Leeds... so i thought of u....
