this tues, i did my laundry and swept my room (while waiting for the washing and drying to be done) in prep for a sporean girl who wld be putting up at my room from wed to sun. i was feeling terribly tired and sian of everything till i went to open my letter box. in it there was a slip of paper saying that i've got a parcel from spore!! my enervated being immed sprang into full gear as i went to the administrative block to collect it. upon looking at the squiggly handwriting, i immed knew it was from 'kelly' lim from VS haha. i was very excited back in my room as i tore the parcel apart. kelly just had to use duct tape with strength sufficient to bind mummies, and so i tugged like no one's business. at last i succeeded in tearing it open, BUT AT ONCE, i regretted it. and this i have to specially thank kelly for her sense of humour. who on earth wld be crazy enough to cushion the letter and other stuff with 'paper puncher fillings'?? half of my room's floor and table were covered by a mad kaleidoscope of countless mini pieces of circular paper. and mind u i just swept the floor!!! grrh.. but kelly was promptly pardoned, for her sense of humour has always been morbid and unique. =) and moreover, its a prezzie all the way from spore!! i went on to read the letter and im really very touched by the effort u fellas put in. a big MERCI to u VS ppl, with special appreciation going out to kelly for the additional effort she incurred at my expense. still, i must thank her for taking the initiative of passing me additional songs and dvds. hint: i miss desperate housewives 2 and other series too =)
and last nite i went for my second hillsong service. it was very upbeat as usual, and i thoroughly enjoyed myself. it felt gd to be singing familiar songs for praise and worship, and i get to improve my french at the same time thanks to interpretation done.

View this clip on Vimeoit looks like my dec holiday plans are heading nowhere, how irritating. this is partly due to my ending sch on 20th dec, a tues of all days. some of the others end on the friday before and have made plans to leave on that weekend itself. italy, spain, morocco, greece, turkey, portugal, sweden, belgium, amsterdam, prague are some of the places i wanna visit. lets just hope i'll manage to go somewhere in the end, if not i'd prob go for some volunteering program thru' out the entire 2 weeks.
and next, some of the pics taken in london, in the museum george pompidou, and some random pics taken at cite universitaire de paris.

another view
art i cant understand
this 'art piece' is really weird. its just this metallic guy thats seated placidly near the bell, and when curious onlookers keep looking, there wld be a mechanism below the board that periodically propels him forward so his forehead strikes the bell
this restaurant on the roof of the museum reminds me of the one which carrie had lunch at, when she came to paris and met up with petrovsky's ex in SATC.
universite de paris, international hall
entrance
some street outside
one of the rarest signs in english
cite Uni has their very own theatre.. lucky.
