=p im just too lazy to label each pic...

日本

I promise that if i go to Japan, I'm so gonna find all the things jap girls can enjoy... like those super quick fix vitamin pills, hair products, facial products, magazines, clothes, fashion generally.... =p

inspired by the *lousy* life in sg, and the pic... not so fantastic, but it's just a teeny weeny thing that triggered off this tot above... better buck up on my jap =(

I was told by a friend that this another (chio) friend is with a guy, who's not so good looking or superbly nice. The next comment he added was "We suspected it's coz he's got $$$".....
I don't know to pity the girl or the guy, or even both....

UK 3

Paris

The Opera

Dunno the name of this street... I only walk through it to get to somewhere

Passed by this nice shop

Forgotten where this is =pp

Eiffel Tower from VERY far

I've never seen a pizza that looks like this until then

How wonderful to wake up to a bunch of nice flowers at your balcony everyday =p

Nice couple who sat beside our table during lunch

Princesses

I came back from work one day and found out my niece (Her Highness) has made herself Princess.... and walked around the house wearing her princess-y attire complete with tiara, and 1 1/2 inch heels. She even insisted that i bring her down to pick up the post....... which i reluctantly did, but feeling quite paiseh at the same time... :S

and here's the Sister that's a little more sane (at least at this moment in time).... At the very least, she did not (and cannot) proclaim herself a royalty....

Nick dropped by my house to get my flute and Her Highness made me bring her along, with the Sis too..... apparently, they were terrorized by Nick.... or at least, seemed VERY MUCH like it =p

I should suggest getting Nick as their babyseater so he can terrorize these monsters and make them behave like the best kids in the entire universe.... hee.. what do u say, Nick? How does "Monsters Vs Monkey" sound to u?

My Lunar Bdae

My niece gave me an ang bao with 20cts in it for my birthday.... Look how sweet she can get despite being cranky usually...

Her ang bao money shall contribute to my fund for an air ticket to France... =p

Appassionata X

I know this is super backdated... but I have to put this up! =) Appassionata X was held on 25th June 2006. It's the 10th anniversay for Appassionata (the NYCB annual concert, as it is called)... Most of us felt strongly about it... especially when it means that you have aged 10 years since...

The alumni band gave Mr Lee a token of appreciation (as usual).... But I would say this year's was one of the best (if not the best) that we've given. A plaque, a VCD of the first Appassionata recording (yes! can u believe it?!) and a card (signed by all the alumni band members).

Now now, time for some photos!

The plaque we gave!

With Mr Lee

With Mr Lee & Mr Teo

Yes, and this is the first blog entry after a long time... =p probably nobody's reading it now... but hey, Nick's better be doing it, after the threat he dumped into my tagboard =p

ciao for now!

France (Part I - Lille)

Around the neighbourhood






Train Station at Lille


Porte de Paris Stumbled upon this on my way home & decided it shall be my first destination for sightseeing the next day coz it's so near that I cant get lost. Amazingly (or rather, not), i got lost the moment i stepped out of the building of the apartment i stayed at.














Hotel de Ville






Found on one of the walls of the buildings




This is my landmark to tell me i'm near 'home'








(I think) This is Lille Central










This cafe that supposedly serves great bread....
i had the dessert, not that fantastic though...
