here are some of the pics that have been uploaded to the laptop earlier when my shutter-happiness hasnt waned. hope u all like it. pics of my room wld be up soon, cant bear to upload them haha. Enjoy =)





the castle of ile-de-france in parc de sceaux; the latter occupying 108 hectares of land and is between my residence and sch

















view from behind the castle



















beyond the gate and to the left is where my school is















from the fountain to the other end of the park















view from the top to the fountain









if i walk to sch instead of taking the bus, i wld walk thru this path, which is admittedly quite nice, but the 1/2 hr walk puts me off, so i usually take the bus





view from outside my window, yes i live on the ground floor, which really sucks, the only gd thing was that i didnt have to lug my luggage up the stairs when i first moved in.






another shitty view from my window, did i mention that i feel like a zoo exhibit whenever the bus outside passes by?





this is what i see if i come back from sch thru the park





shitholes from upclose





on the street outside from the bus stop





to the left






streets of paris, monoprix is like a higher-class cold storage, things there arent freaking expensive






16eme arrondisement






can see the spire of notre-dame?





the river seine on a gloomy evening





stood in the middle of the road to take this! extremely hard and dangerous, but champs-elysees rocks! the vibrancy of paris truely pulsates in u when u stroll down it





maire de paris,the mayor's office in paris, he's openly gay btw






one of the bridges that links ile st-louis, an island, to the mainland paris





one of the mandatory shots to be taken when in paris: l'arc de triomphe






this time with the eiffel shining in the background






inside the louvre in front of the inverted pyramid, beneath which was buried the treasure that the protagonists were searching for in the book 'da vinci code'





pyramide in front of the musee






orbs appear when im in it...





eiffel upclose






upclose and personal this time





in montmartre (place where the french movie 'amelie de montmartre' was obviously shot at), in front of l'eglise de sacre coeur, with terence, lianan, me and xuanang





the obelisk with the eiffel in the background ( the lorry's an eyesore tho)






see the beam of green laser? it was shot from one of the universities up to montmartre, in a bid to re-enact how scientists in the past measured the speed of light





la jocunde (mona lisa), a big big let-down






there are mummies too, cool!









the above 3 are taken in one of the hundreds of halls/exhibition rooms inside the louvre, and i only spent an hour inside, just covering twenty at most? haha





inside the notre-dame cathedral





inside square de l'avenue foch, where all the embassies are. the italy flag isnt unfurled...





anyone recognises this flag?





my dear dear singapore embassy, just have to occupy a house (while the others are presumably in buildings), in red and white no less, with the usual 'no-this' and 'no-that' signs adorning your front gate; but i grow to love u now haha





sneak preview of my room: the basin and mirror! see the darned separate taps? every morning when washing up, i do some slick hand movements that are so quick just to avoid being scalded... tsk tsk
