One more member of Les Slip Rouges family had left Malaysia and merantau ke negri sebrang ( waaay waaaay sebrang. hehe)

Gan is here.


The famous Mr. Chern Hwei has joined us (me & si theng), landed safely in France.

No, i havent got the chance to see him. Would like to know how he looks like now. Haha!

First day in France, he sms-ed me and complained (already!) that everything is so expensive here. Oh well.....

One more left. Mr. Ronald-in-the-middle. Have you packed your bag? Will be glad to see you here again....

so excited so excited so exciteeeeeeddd!!!!!!

ive been counting down the days since wednesday morning, 8 am, that is...

nooo...im not excited about Gan's arrival (dont be perasan first, ok!) tho i AM happy you're here. But it concerns another matter. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPeeeeyyyyyyy....!!

The Day Didn't Turn Up So Bad After All

This is why I love Pierre-Louis so damn much... He surprised me with a special dinner, there were smoked salmon on the table, taboulle (is this how its spelled?), some sliced beef, and some "sparkling" boisson, hehe if you know wat i mean (cant type name here). And for dessert.... a delicious, melt in the mouth birthday cake ( chocolat outside, vanilla and i dunno wat cream on the inside and A LOOTT of strawberries and blue berries on top juz how i LOVE it), with number 22 candles on top of it! AAAWWWW......isnt he the sweetest guy in the world....

My 22nd Birthday cake, first bday nite in France....oh sooo delicious... mmmmhh......

My birthday present from Pierre-Louis, 3 pieces of canvas board, a CD of 100 pictures of what we lived in a year, a box of UHU tack-it and a RED (my fave color) birthday card full of words of love.... aaww....how can i not melt.... LOVE HIM TO PIECES!

Me and my birthday cake and two bunny fingers of Mr. Genier ( dasar iseng!)

Well, no need of explanation here... hehe... love him love him love him..!!!

Im 22 todaaaaay!!!!!

Happy Birthday to me! Ok, according to the date of the blog, it was yesterday. But it is still 22 of august here in France. oh well, im 6 hrs younger here...YEYYY!! haha!

My birthday this year is definitely not as happening as the years before, as im sure u guys can imagine. I woke up with a surprise present from him, which was very lovely and i definitely love it. On the other side, I woke up with a huge hole in my heart instead of a jumping-joy.

Im alone here, accept with my dearest Pierre-Louis, but how joyful can it be without ur dearest friends beside you, laugh with you or AT you even, drinking with you, eating the birthday cake with you, taking hillarious pictures with you and all that.

Well, i admit today, my dear blog, that i feel lonely without feeling the presence of my precious frenz like i always had before. There are many people surrounding me today, wishing a delightful birthday and I was even busy with the house-moving thing, but still a big part of me feel extremely lonely without the laughter, kisses and hugs of my frenz and family back home.

The whole day today, Tuesday 22 august 2006, i was longing to go home, I was longing to be a part of their laughter, i was longing to be near my mum, my dad and my brother. I envy those of you who can see each other again in a month time for the graduation. U guys have NO IDEA how sad and upset i am to know that i wont be able to join all of you whom i miss dearly.... Im jealous and im envious....

ps: to Andri, selamat menjalani hidup baru ya bang...semoga semua berjalan lancar. Im verry sorry i cant be there, even though i wanted to be so much. Kamu pasti sibuk ya sekarang, it feels so weird that bukan aku yang disana dan mendampingi kamu, tapi I wish u all the best in life.

Little Big Things

**As today i was bz packing, well ok, not TOO bz as i can still chat with frens, download songs, and writing this very blog, I had a little surprising visit from Clément and Carine!! Two of pierre-louis' good friends who came to visit Malaysia last year. And yea!! today i met them here!! in France, in Tours, in Pierre-Louis' house, omg how weird is dat... haha!! It was fun and funny.

** Pierre came two days ago, i was OVERJOYED!! We managed to "clear" things up. Things which had not been lovely for the past few days. Bought a new HP number for me. YEEEEAAYY!! i have my own phone now, so so glad. BUT how sucks it is that ppl cant reply my sms from Malaysia. Sigh....another reason why, im asking myself, did i come to this country...

**I love my Pierre-Louis, i know cliché, but it's true...love him from head to toe...back to front...HEHEHE!!

** I miss my family SOOO BAADD....i want my mummy...

** I miss cecilia, carolyne, ifa, salina, linda, hanna, owen and ALL of you...

** I miss tije, anisa and febi SOOOO MUCH!!

** I miss bayu, eka, diana, reza, azmi....

** I miss via, dina, eni, weni, flora...

** I miss Pierre-Louis.....

Dear diary...

saya lagi sedih. dan saya lagi bahagia.

sayang sama seseorang itu indah. apalagi kalau dia bener2 sayang sama kamu balik. dan he treats u like "ratu sejagad" of his life, more over, when nobody treats u seperti dia sebelumnya, never in the past 21 years of ur life.

i love him more than anything. i want him always like ive never wanted anyone before. c'est incroyable mais c'est vrai!

it's really hard to be frequently away from him. during his visit or mine, days always go fast. tidak terasa, ternyata hari sudah berakhir et il faut qu'il parte. time is never enough for both of us. it is never enough to tell each other que nous nous manqons enormement. how much we hate to be part with each other. it's never enough for us, et c'est pour ca, a mon avis, qu'il a raison why he always express himself. and i hope i do it enough for him. cuz now i realize, time is never enough.

the joy and the little butterflies in my stomach wen i see him and jump in his warm embrace...it's wordless...tapi indah...

I conquered Le Pyrénées...!!

well, ok not really conquered but I really did climb mount Pyrénées which took me 5 hours to go up and down the mountain. Me, Jocelyne and Vincent (pierre's dad) went down to Toulouse last weekend for 4 days, and on the 2nd day we went to Le Pyrénées and took the "easy" randonée because there was a first-timer, ME!!

It was not so easy after all because it was sooo tiring and it was so long, however the view from up there is amazing... cuz ive never really climbed a mountain before, i did it in my grandma's place in Cideng but it was never really been a climb (sometimes we even "climbed" by car, d'uh!), so this one was definitely an experience.

Then, the next day, when i still didnt recover my fatigue, AGAIN I had to wake up early cuz we were planning to go to the beach. This time it was by the Mediterranean Sea, on the south of France. It was beautiful and the weather was good. Jocelyne and Lucie (pierre's brother's gf) were so eager to go sun-bathing, me? mmm....not so much...HELLO!! je suis deja bronzée! so i stayed for like...15 minutes and went to buy ice cream instead and called pierre-louis who is in Paris and whom i missed so damn much. But the phone call didnt end up really "peaceful", I got really upset over some stuff and we "argued" like we had never argued since a long time. Well, in the end we hit a happy ending, like always... rite darling!! (however, i AM really sorry for you-know-what-happened).

We had interesting dinner. A huge 3 sticks of "sate" of beef and sea food accompanied with exotic sauces (including, indonesian satay sauce, which turned up did not taste like the original AT ALL, more like an indian curry sauce, they shud change the name)

I browsed around in IKEA the next afternoon, thinking of what to buy for the new studio room. Made my long list of purchase, i was so excited cuz i love doing this, making shopping list and ofcourse to SHOP!

Oh, I need winter clothes real soon, cuz its getting cold in here...YEY! more shopping coming....!!! Warm winter jacket, a winter hat, a pair of winter shoes and trousers, lotsa socks, and any other items needed. hehe. im NOT exagerrating here, i DO need to cover myself since i haf to ride a bike to the uni! imagine!

I like my new studio room, its not too big or too small. juz nice. Gonna make it real comfy. Rite darling!!

Images help explaination

Some photos I finally managed to upload. After my excursion to Normandie and Versailles.



A beautiful sunday in Chateau Chambord with Jocelyne, Pierre-Louis' mommy. Isn't she tiny considering she's a french?

The destroyed delicious dish, made by Peggy in conjunction of welcoming us..... no luck! We had pizzas after.

In the garden of chateau de versailles, in front of one of the massive fountains.

The beach in Etretar, Normandie. I told u, it's breath-taking... this is the view from the cliff on the other side.

See those people lying on the beach, actually it was cold and windy and I haf NO idea how they can be half naked on the beach and even swimming in the sea. tsk tsk tsk!

Do you, now???????

Not always pretty here.....

It is true that France is a beautiful country, well, an average-vintage-european country that is. Well, its different here. Places are different, cultures are different, things work differently, even the washing machine, and most of all People are different.

Do you know the feeling when u are from the other side of the world and u dont speak the language VERY VERY fluently?
Then when somebody speaks their opinion about your culture and i dunno.....wat u eat, how u live and wat uve seen and wat u hafn't?
And when one critics something eventhough one never seen and never been (except from TV)?
Or when one thinks France is the superior above everything else? Or when one even thinks to go to Asia is a suicide because NOBODY speaks french or there is NO baguette, cheese and charcuterie, or get killed in a jungle because there is NO decent place to stay?

Have you ever felt so so desperate to speak up ur opinion and to tell one the truth about your own culture that you know very well on the tip of your finger since you were born there and lived there for the past 21 bloody years of your life BUT you can't do it because its fucking difficult to build a sentence in your head and to say it out loud. And because of your lack of vocabulary. It's depressing, tiring, upseting to NOT BE ABLE to tell one that what he says is not ALL TRUE!!

And juz to stay quiet and letting him enjoying the fact that ALL HE SAYS is RIGHT, juz because you can't argue back... when the reality is, HE HAS NEVER EVER EVEN STEPPED A TOE IN A LAND CALLED ASIA, let alone Malaysia or Indonesia.....And he thinks HE KNOWS EVERY FREAKING SINGLE THING...!!!

Let me remind myself that it is juz the beginning, like pierre always said, i would haf to act dumb and let go everything people think about how weird or how wrong or how horrible we live our lives...

I know that its useless to argue with people who always 'avoir raison' , but i juz want to say a little word of something. I juz wanna defend myself. I juz wanna give some opinion. And it wont kill you to hear the truth from an EXISTING and LIVING SOURCE, rite?

Tourist-wannabe Week

bonjour a tous!!

ive had a very bz week, busy visiting places that is hehe.... two weekends away i went to Chateau Chambord with pierre's parents. It was a nice sunday and the weather was not too hot and not too cold; although it rained at the end of our visit. and it was my first time to visit a chateau.

And last monday i left to Paris AGAIN for a week, but this time my week was much more "tourist"-ish. last weekend i went to Normandie with pierre's uncle. Spent the weekend there, visited the beach in the town of Etretar, which was TOTALLY GORGEOUS!!! the view resembles postcard, seriously...

we managed to walk up the cliff up there and i definitely enjoyed the view from up there, which was breath-taking..... the beach was really different from the tropical beach that we haf back home. It looks sunny and hot in the photo yea....well it WASN'T!! it was windy and cold... sigh.. and still Peggy (pierre's uncle's gf) said " ah, il fait beau aujourd'hui! c'est cool!"

by the way......the first day we arrived in normandie, on friday that was, we were welcomed by a delicious dish made of rice and courgette and cheese, baked in the oven, i dunno hows it called in french, that Peggy made before we arrived. She looked so pleased to be able to fill in our empty stomach in a cold friday nite, being a tourist and all. And guess wat happened???? before putting the dish on the plate, the pyrex slipped out of her hand and it fell on the floor with a big explosion....AAAARRGGGHHH!!!!!! It was really funny, sorry, but it was, we were juz staring at it for few seconds and laffed and laffed and took pictures..... haha!! Aww, poor peggy, she was so frustated the whole nite hehe.... Oh well, so we decided to order sum pizzas then and had a 'special' welcome-dinner. Not so bad hein!?


The second day, they took us to this cute little petite village not far from Cany Barville (where chez peggy is, sounds like cannibal ville yea, hehe specially with the french pronounciation). I saw some of tipical traditional house of normandie, i felt like i was in a fairy tale book, really adorable. While pierre is bz holding on Hollywood (the dog), i was bz enjoying the view.


After the small town, we headed to another seaside. This time it was more freezing than the last beach. and i was so amazed by the fact that there are people lying down on the beach (which has no sand, small rocks instead, mind you! ) chest naked, half naked in bikini or juz simply bathing in the water!!! and i was chilled to the bone...!! no, Not that chilled....but still! ils sont fou!

On monday early morning, we went back to Paris as some people have to work in few hours, well NOT me of course. So i stayed home and ironed pierre's clothes. No, its ok darling, really, I did it with love and compasion...

And on tuesday, as promised, he took me to Chateau de Versailles, the biggest one in France apparently. So we woke up early, had bfast, made sandwiches, cuz we didnt wanna spend a bomb juz to eat sandwich in versailles, took the train for about one hour and voila!! there were like.....i-dunno-how-many tourists were q-ing outside the entrance, c'était dingue!!! so we decided to juz stroll around the garden which turned up to be NOT juz a stroll, cuz the gardin was freaking HUGE.... ( yea sitheng, i can see why ur bf was complaining when the weather was hot!!).
We rented 2 bicycles and rode, rode, rode for an hour a coté de bois (rite spelling?) and it was really nice. I guess we juz haf to come back again one day to go inside the chateau.

Came back to Tours on wednesday morning, said goodbye to my darling, which made me oh so saaaaad.... but no choice as i haf to go to Toulouse tonite, midnite probably, and take care some things down there. Well, not bad, cuz i always love road trip starting in the wee hours. Used to do it a lot with my family last time during Raya.

Would like to upload some pic, but its not wroking this time, dunno why.....

a broken promise

yea, dats rite. i juz broke one of my promises before leaving to france.

however, i dont feel the tiniest regret or sorry. as a matter of fact, i felt joy and satisfaction.

well, ok im sorry but who could help it?? A tempting flowery silk dress from Zara which cost €19!!! THATS RITE! it was on sale here in france and they have clearing stock for summer since autumn is approaching, so this very beautiful dress was sold for €19!!!

i saw the exact same dress in malaysia, and i fell straight in love with it, pierre im sure u will recognize it once u see it. it's the flowery one, very colorful and u liked it as well (so dont be mad my darling...je taaimmee), cuz ive tried it before and i was soooo sad cuz my pocket didnt allow me to spend as much as RM 250!!!
HAHA......and finally, i found a reason to buy that dress, not that i need a reason to buy it, since its freaaakinngg cheeaaapp....!!!

sorry; kudnt upload a pic of the dress since its no longer in Zara's website. but lemme tell ya..!!

It's reaaaall pretty!!!!

photos

yea, finally im able to update photos to my blog. The genius M. Genier has shown me the miracle between my laptop and the internet connection. VOILAAA!!!!!


and this is me, in front of the SNCF station of Tours. juz nearby pierre's house.





























and this is St. Germain where pierre's uncle lives, remember?













me, sok manis, in front of pierre's house. classic french, i guess, cuz ive never seen house like dat in either malaysia or indonesia.

yada yada yada...

wats new??

* Pierre-Louis paid a visit to Tours on monday nite. His arrival was such a lovely surprise. Eventhough, he was a bit concerned about his dad repairing the water tap in the garage (thank you to miss dita who has voluntarily fucked the washing machine, and in result, the water tap also got fucked ). HOWEVER, i was so happy as a french dog, who juz had the most luxurious dog biscuit and dressed in burberry dog shirt and sitting comfortably in its owner's LV dog-carrier-bag or some sorts. Well, ok, not like dat.... but i was literally jumping and TRYING to control myself not to kiss him too much since his parents were there.

* Spent a great day on tuesday with him. Visited his grand father and his girlfriend ( yea, dats rite, how cool is that that his grand dad has a gf!!! ROCK ON PAPI!!!) no, not like dat, in fact, this lovely lady has been with him after the wife passed away.

* Got to meet the famous M. Yann Petit and his gf.

* The washing machine is fiiiixeeeddddd!!!! YEEEEEYYY....!! oh i knew that M. Genier is such a genius!!! you haf no idea how relieved i was. oh, and the water tap too, it's fixed, not by M. genier, by M. Plumber.

* It was raining this morning...pheeeewww finally, after all these days with la chaleur, the rain was definitely refreshing, so i decided à faire une promenade dans la ville.

j'ai envie de manger de brioche chocolat.....mmmm..... a tout!!

BETE!!!

I hate the fact that i cant update pictures!!!! uurrrghhh!!!! because, first, this very computer doesnt haf a USB keyport, second, because the comp is slow, third, i dunno how to connect my laptop to the internet, forth, i dunno where i can find a wi-fi internet connection in Tours so that i can use my laptop to upload photos and fifth, i dont haf any blank cd to save my pics frm my laptop then to upload it from this comp, cuz as a matter of fact, there is a CDrom.

There you go!!!!!!!! AAARRGGGHHH****!!!!!

artichaut

here we go.

i ate artichaut last nite for dinner. wat is it? well, its this flower-looking veggie (apparently) that looks like the pic above, the green one, not the violet one.

how in the world, do we eat this? ok, for those of you who happen to know and HAVE eaten this veggie before, oh well, save if for yourslef, let me haf the fun telling my amazement. ok!

well, first, u boli it for like, half an hour maybe, then the petals become soft and tender. then u juz eat it like dat. i mean, theres no need it to sautée it, fry it, or mix it with other ingredients, kaya oseng2 misal nya.. nope!

we pluck the petals one by one, then at the end of each petal, theres this tiny little edible 'flesh' that taste abit like potato flesh. but it was juz a biiiiitttt, tiny, almost nothing.and it tasted good actually. so thats wat i did, plucking each petal and biting the 'flesh'. so u imagine how many petals are there. until we reach almost the last ones, we plucked everything out, cuz the last petals were too tender, then we clean wats left at the bottom of the petals. and voila! there is the 'heart' of artichaut, it's called ' le fond' d'artichaut. and its shaped round, much thikcer and more visible to eat. hehe. and it tastes like, org indo bilang talas. tau kan? this part, we eat it with, oh well, since theres no sambel ulek in france, i ate it with moutarde and olive oil. NOT BAD!

there you go, my 'light' dinner, eating two artichaut.

paris, il faisait chaud!

bonjour à tous!

conversation 3 days ago by msn:

' sayang, i miss you, y u didnt go back to tours last nite? '

' miss you too, y dont u come to paris? '

' now?! how?!'

' by train lah......' still with his malaysian-english herited by the one-year living in KL.

then, i checked in the website, there was a 12.09pm train to paris montparnasse. where as now is 11.30am, donc, i haf like 30 min to pack, run to the station and buy my tix.

alors, à 13.30pm, je suis arrivée à paris. then, i saw my gorgeous beau walking towards me all smiling... aaawwww... he looked sooo cute! wearing a blue-strips t shirts with white shorts, conviscated from his uncle wardrobe i supposed. ah....finally, my upset-ness on monday nite was gone... at least i got to spend the whole afternoon and evening with him since he was off on tue.

off we went to grab sumthing to eat; kudnt stop smiling, hugging and **eheem* *eheem* u noe wat i mean.... well since france is a free country and wide-open-minded, so u know wat u can do in the middle of the street, in the train, in the train station, in the café, in the park, etc etc.. NO! not *that*!!! juz u know....cuddling with occassional lips-saluting. hehehehe....how i miss him...

then, we decided to spend the lovely evening in a park, nearby les halles. juz sitting under the shades of tree, talking, *eheem*-ing, watching toddlers running here and there, watching their nannies calling their names. then pierre fell asleep. he looked tired (still gorgeous tho), so i let him doze off.

later that evening, we went back to his uncle's place, which is in saint-germain en laye. a sweet, beautiful small urban district outside of paris. really lovely place. i'll try to upload some photos later. not now, lazy lah, the comp is quite slow.

anyway, his appartment was this, medium-sized cozy place, well, juz normal typical french unit. cold in the morning, but still hot as the sun goes up.

the next morning pierre had to leave early for his job, so i decided to faire le menage since i was home alone. then in the late afternoon, i went out to paris and went to Louvre, juz to look around, since i can get in for free (8.50€ otherwise). didnt get to see la joconde (monalisa) cuz i went to the wrong salle. ok tmrw then.
after he finished, we decided to jalan jalan in the Louvre carrousel, this small cute summer funfair juz à coté de louvre. no, we didnt ride anything

next morning, pierre left later than the day before. i did sum laundry and ironing for him. wen to Louvre again, hoping to see mona lisa, but it was too late, they closed at 5.30pm. yea, i arrived late, ok! well, ok c'est pas grave. elle étais en vacances peut-etre.
we went to jardin du luxembourg after. still as pretty as before. sat there for a while, and AGAIN pierre fell asleep. so, i was juz trying to avoid looking at the couple near us making out on a bench, looking like almost they stripp each other and make love there and then!! aiyooooo.......!!!
didnt get to meet si theng, cuz she was back from disneyland quite late, i was on the train back to st.germain. so juz wished her all the fun with her sayang also.

so i thought i shud juz go back to Tours today; why?? because, pierre's uncle's gf came, along with her DOG!! boo hooooo.....yea, ok hollywood (his name) is cute and all, hes blind as well, but no no no no, no dog under one roof with me, if u noe wat i mean..***

so here iam, typing away in my blog again, back in Tours with the Geniers. it was definitely a very very lovely few days with pierre again. it's nice to spend evenings in paris with my loved one.

Paris is a lovely city and it is definitely better with your most gorgeous, cutest and sexiest company!!
**TRY IT! wont regret it!* (no, not with pierre, with your own beau laaaah....)

first movie in france

oui, c'est vrai! je suis juste revenue du cinéma pour regarder mon premier film en france, mais en Anglais! haha. i watched ' tournage du jardin'. it was...... weird and funny!

Jeudi 13 juillet

one day famous (as if?!)

im in sarawak newspapers today hahahahaha!!!!
first time in kuching my face appeared in newspaper (u no believe, ask Gan loor...).

why was I in Sin chew daily ( yea ok, its chinese journal, i cant understand what they wrote, but AT LEAST im IN it!)??
remember the fashion show thingy, and yea i was one of the MODEL, note that, MODEL my fren!!!! haha!

the event went smoothly and everyone was happy abt it. including me. i was sooo nervous before the show started. i was waiting upstairs for my turn, then the first model went down, and i saw camera'z flashes all clicking and shining and i heard all the datins were talking n commenting on the dress. i didnt see it. but it made me feel soooo nervous and groggy!! damn!

then it was my turn. i took a deep breath and baca bismillah so that i wont trip n fall over the CM's wife. oooh la la....didnt I feel like Paris Hilton walking down the red carpet haha!. all the reporters started clicking their cameras wen I walked down the stairs. OMG!! i was sooooooooo shocked and I tried to be calm n smile as sweet as I can. :)

wen i walked in front of all the datins, they were like touching my kain batik n making datin-ish comments like " waah..this one is nice ah..so soft la..its silk isit? ya ya nice lah so pretty...." and bla bla bla.. i was like....OKAY...

then, off i went.down the stairs, up the stairs, posed and voila! my job is done (after the second round of course).

i wore a traditional brown javanese kebaya (my own) and very silky kain batik together with the scarf, it was really lovely. the second one was a modern kebaya, paired with my own jeans. very casual but feminin and ethnical. nice indeed.
well, somebody bought both of my wardrobe, so i was happy (even tho they are not mine). and yea... all the datins were buying things like crazy, sum of them pay by check for like RM3000- RM5000 !!! aih....how i wish i kud do that.

ok, dats it!! my fame for a day.
