The appartment

So, we have settled down. We arranged the furnitures, we shopped for food in the market nearby, i love going to market here, the fruit and veggie look so fresh and we get our fix phone fixed and we are waiting for our internet line. Thats why im sooo deprived from cyber life now....sigh...

And as result, this blog will be abandoned for a while.

Juz the week....

Last weekend, we went to Toulouse, yet again, to transport the sofa and some other heavy stuff.

We settled the flat, went to Ikea to buy some furniture, went to Carrefour to buy a whole-life stock, really, I thot we were supplying ourselves for like therez gonna be an Armageddon or something.

We built the IKEAz DIY meubles. They look nice in the new flat.

Came back on Sunday evening. Reach Tours juz after midnite. Got hungry, ate tomato salad. No theres no mamak here, how nice if there was. Cross the road, walk for 1 minute, sit down and order your maggi goreng and teh ais. Sigh.... simple things like that make me miss Malaysia so much.

Spent the whole week in Tours, cycling to second hand electronic shop trying to find cheap TV. Where during the whole journey, I whinned and whinned for that the road were hilly, I had to pedal extra and at the end I hurt my butt for cycling. SIgh.... so spoilt me.

Got my hair cut, loving the shoulder-length curls. At least didnt spend € 38 for a hair cut for nothing.

Bought our cinema card for unlimited movies for a year!!! YEESSS for a year!!!! we can watch any movies, watever, whenever in france of course..... for a good deal.

Finally, my family are able to sms me now, after hunting for sim card, here and there, I decided SFR is my next mobile provider. And now i found out that my mum already started buying things for me and to be sent over. She bought a whole pack of, what else than..... Indomie goreng!!!! YUUUMMMYYY!!!

Watched I AM SAM last nite wit pierre and his dad, and I cried again, but not as bad as the first time i watched it. Beautiful movie that is.

Nothing of importance happened this week, except that we know we love each other so dearly and I am never letting anything more precious than a million dollar diamond go out of my sight.... or in this case... LIFE...

I dunno how to start this post.

I am sad today. I am depressed. I am emotional. I have been crying the whole nite last nite. I am alone at home rite now and it doesn't help at all.

I cant believe I miss my graduation day today, which happens exactly now, Sunday in KLCC. It's not wearing the robe and the hat and all that, it's the get together, being reunited with all my classmates again. Meeting them again after almost a year, laughing, sharing stories, telling the latest news, bla bla bla...

I cant be a part of that. I cant be amongs my best friends to celebrate this day and laff our hearts out. U guys have no idea how jealous and sad I was when I heard everyone is coming and u all gonna be spending time together, catching the good old days....drinking, outing, gossiping, dining....


Then i started thinking, what am I doin here? All alone in Paris, instead of enjoying myself with them in KL. Why did i come so early? Why didn't I wait for the gradz day then only i leave? All these questions had been haunting me so much these few days, specially today.

I start asking myself, will my days will be better when i start college? Will i make new friends? Will i be able to adapt myself with the rest of the classmates? Will they like me? Will they find me weird? Will they talk to me? Will they help me with class projects and assigments or they will juz ignore me and talk about me behind my back?

It's not healthy to think too much abt it i know; but I cant help myself. I am scared. I am worried. I keep thinking of the worst things. I should juz stay positive. I should consider myself lucky hafin the oppurtunity that probably some one else would love to have it so much but could not have it. I should be thankful to be here, opening myself to a new world and learning things ive never learnt before, seeing new things, speaking a new language that many people wish to speak it, explore the country which many people wish to go to.

Many people said it's so cool, so nice, so jealous-ing, so envy-ing hearing that I'm in France now to study. And I always say to myself that it's not as nice as u guys might think. But then again, maybe i should start thinking so. I should start thinking that I am lucky, I should start thinking twice before to complain about small small things, I should start being thankful for what I have now, having to live with a nice family who takes care of me very well, having a boyfriend who put me above anything in his life and never stop to make me happy and make sure im always safe. having parents who support me till the end, financially and spiritually, cuz I know I dont cost cheap, for sure!!

I am jealous of my friends some times who already have jobs and earning their own living. And me, I'm still stuck here, studying. SIGH....... But how many times I heard people around me saying how happy and great it is to study or to already completed their masters. And I heard so many of my friends finding working life is not as fun as college life, its pressuring, its stressful, its tiring and bla bla bla.... So..I guess i juz have to absorb the best aspects in life, no?!

Well, I think i juz have to think twice before complaining about small little things. Now that I am here, I should start embracing the great opportunities coming ahead of me. I am in France to study, and i have the chance to improve my french, the language which everyone wishes to be able to speak, the country which is a cliché dreams of most people to visit. There are many great things here in France, there are soooo many interesting people here, God knows which origins they are from. There are so much more freedom to express urself here. U can dress up as u like, different from everybody else, u can put different colors of eye-shadows on each eyelid, u can wear a transparent blouse that ur bras almost totally visible without ANYBODY staring weirdly at u, judging u, wishpering about u or even giving those freaky horny stare.

And imagine all those traveling I can do here during holidays!! I have always wanted to backpack around europe and visit at least half of European countries. HAHA!! I wanna learn how to ski, to snow board (if i dont start screaming like a crazy asian tourist), to swim in mediterranean sea, to see tree leaves turning reddish brown in autumn and even Egypt and Marrocco is only 3 hrs away by plane!! How cool!!

So, what am I complaining about?? Well, im totally agree with Miss Ee May who said that life is juz like a blank white canvas, it's up to us to paint it colorful or colorless and to draw beautiful things on it.

Of The Week

Why have I been deprived from my blog for a while? It's because last week i was occupied with the demenagement of Genier family. My time was dedicated for scrubbing floor, wiping cupboards, vacuuming dusty corners and transporting things from level 2 to the ground level. Until i sakit kaki u know...

Well, it's all done now. All moved to the new house which is much smaller than before. And everything is still a mess down there. Even i haf to sleep with piles and piles of books and BDs. What do you do in a time like this?? U escape to Paris!!!! TO SHOOOOPP!!! hahahhaha!!

Yeap, ladies and gentleman, im in Paris now, AGAIN OKAAAAYY.... understood well.... wat to do, theres no internet in Tours, nothing i can do to help them to arrange the stuff ( cuz i haf to rebuild all the tall tall shelves for the books, and its impossible for me to do it alone!), im all alone during the day, and most of all, theres no PIERRE-LOUIS!! So, i come and look for him in Paris. simple as that.

This is a news for small asian girls out there!! It's sooo damn hard to look for a winter coat that fits perfectly on us. Well, ok in this case, for me.

We were soooo tired from walking around Paris from one shop to another, looking for the perfect coat for me. yah...pierre yang jadi korban, kaki and punggung pegel2 hehee... We went to 4 Zara outlets!! to Mango, to H&M ( which sukcs big time!), to WE, to Alain Mannikain, to Naf Naf, and god knows what other shops we went in to.
So we went into Zara Kids, after trying and trying and whining, off and on and off and on, VOILAAAA!!! I found a perfetct one! My perfect size (11-13 yrs old), not too long from the knee, perfect arm length and fits my waist and chest perfectly!! YEEEYYYY!! i was so ecstatic! wrong! Pierre was more ecstatic than me, he even thanked God for this hahahhaa.... All his effort, back pain, legs pain, thirst, heat and hunger are all paid for, after goin in and out 4 Zara outlets and 2 Zara Kids and a zillion other outlets in Paris.

Mission of the day accomplished by me getting a winter coat and one nice pull, To Kill A Mockingbird novel from Fnac, 2 pairs of original socks, a daily-vaginal-cleaning soap (it's very important), some instant noodles and the biggest bottle of chilli sauce from Asian Supermarché.

Oh, when I was in Quartier Chinois, in Place d'Italie, it was so funny cuz i really felt like i was in China or Bangkok or something, even the centre commercial resembles the ones in Asia, u know like those sungai wang thingy. Seriously! haha. i was so amazed.

Another thing i noticed, all the asian restaurants, either sell chinese, japanese, thai and vietnamese food. and funny thing they sometimes sell either 3 of them in the same restaurant. I mean, I have never seen that before a restaurant specialized in chinese, thai and vietnamese food ALL in one. That was something. Oh, theres no Indonesian food!!!???? t'inquiétes pas, elle arrive!!

p.s: Je voudrais te remercie pour trouver (accidently with your sharp eagle eyes) le manteau marron et le joli pull! et for saving my life from cold winter.....later....
