Lundi 10 juillet

landed safely, alhamdulillah, in CDG paris at 6.30am. monsieur Genier was already there waiting for me. another journey to Tours ( a name of a town south of paris, whr pierre comes frm) in a car for another 3 hrs!!! but before that, visited my darling first in the Louvre, i knt believe i stepped my feet on that incredible museum again. oh how nice it was to see him again. he looked good, hehe.

arrived in tours just nice for lunch, met the mommy and had lunch: they served me a bowl ful of strawberries and 2 slices of melon. yuummm......
i got to stay in pierrez room. the house is big seeing only 2 of em live there. there are 3 storeys!!

on that nite itself, i haf to leave again to Toulouse as i haf to take care some things there. so they drove me to vierzon adn i met pierre a la gare, en suite, on est encore parti. in the train for abt 6 hrs. got to sleep cuz therez a small bed for each of us.

Mardi 11 juillet

arrived in toulouse at 5.30 am; aurelien already there to pick us up. slept a bit then at 8 we left to mairie de toulouse to see the prefecture. but god knows that the queue is freaking looooooongg!!!! so we decided to come back tmrw earlier.

then we went to look for a flat. called agent, saw locaation, not happy, called another agent, saw another location, not too happy, until finally on wednesday we found something we like. its a studio room, €350 a month, with a small kitchen, nice bathroom and juz enuff living room to put a bed, a table and sum other furniture. nearvy some convenient stores and pubs, if i need one, hehe. oh nice.

tried to open a bank account but there was a doc that i didnt haf, so later la...

oh and today, i prodly announce that I WALKED A LOOOOTTT!!! under the heat of summer in toulouse, not so easy huh... i tell ya! its freaking hot here, almost 35 degrees everyday, every afternoon. but luckily, here is dry, we dont sweat that much, even wen we do, its not sticky. not like in malaysia. oh, hoping to lose weight by now....sigh..

Mercredi 12 juillet

woke up extra early to q at the mairie, so we made it at 7am, and guess wat, there are ppl already q-ing outside, uurrghhhh!!!! oh well, we juz had to wait till 9am!! dats rite 2 hrs waiting outside.

fortunately, the lady was nice, and she didnt meke the whole q-ing seems useless. i still didnt get my carte sejour, but its ok; at least itz done.

in the afternoon, we found a flat, as i told you before. and the agent was gay; hehe; hes cute tho.

Jeudi 13 juillet

the eve of fete national, so everyone was in a festive mood. ppl go out and drnking at bars and theres a big stage in capitol. ppl singing and dancing with the bands.

didnt do much today, juz relaxing since everything is done, so we took a promendae down the city and juz had our quality time together, with pierre, of course. ALMOST; mind you, almost did some dress shopping, but no. did some groceries shopping tho for aurelien and lucie.

in the evening, they wanted to see superman, so i juz came along. oh well, seeing it again in french kud be interesting. NOT! i fell asleep inside the theatre.

after, we had a simple drnking session of wine, aside with charcuterie, bread and frites in some spanish bar with weird decoration. as i told you; there were a lot of ppl since tmrw is the national day of france.

Vendredi 14 juillet

National Day!!

there was a military march in front of champs elysées; i saw it on TV, since im not in paris.

went back to Tours, took the train at 1pm, reached here at 6pm. had dinner with pierrez mum. watched tv and talked. i was watching ' qui voulais gagner un million?' and FRIENDS in french hahahahaahhahaahha!!!!!!!
then we waited for the sun to set to see the fireworks à la loire, nearby the river that is. well, since its summer, the sun will only set at abt 10.30pm.so yea, we always haf dinner in a bright sunny evening. interesting for me.

so off we went to see the fireworks. it was nice. some were boring. some were very pretty. well, at least it was my first fireworks in france!! yeeeyy!!!

went back home. tired. and off to bed at 1am.

Samedi matin 15 juillet

woke up at 9am/ everyone was still sleeping, so i decided to make a cup of coffee. which i dunno how to. cuz apparently, mr genier does it in a special way. oh well, so i took a galss of water and had some choc bars. ill figure out later how to do the coffee la.....

went upstairs and updated my blog. et voila! la premiére semaine en france.
