Paris 17
Hi all, today's temperature when I stepped out of my apartment was 1 degree celcius. It was as if ice is gasified and all around me. This is the coldest temperature I have experienced in my 22 years of existence on Earth. Haha. I thought that my ears were going to fall off. I was thinking Paris is a very clean place as I have not seen any rats around at all. But just now on my way back I saw my first Paris rat. It was frozen dead below a tree. It looked like it was as hard as a rock. Haha anyway I'm just emphasizing the cold weather la.
Talking about cold weather, I will be experiencing even colder weather when I go to Vienna this weekend with Chloe. Laura is not joining us becos of many reasons, mainly becos we booked too late and the hostels were unavailable and the air ticket was too ex. I heard it's snowing in some parts of Austria already. Think my winterwear all must 'chu ma' already.
Paris is still having strike now. I took 2 hours plus to get home frm school today. The trains were packed like sardines. I saw a person carrying a big dog and trying to enter the train. SIAO! Human beings cannot enter, much less a dog?! But I think the Parisians love dogs too much they will be willing to give up their space for it. On my way to school today it was even more packed. Everyone was squeezing but laughing about it as they are used to it already. This old lady behind me kept pushing me away saying 'Excuseh moi...bla bla bla.. si vou pleh' (Excuse me... please) and kept pushing me from behind while people in front was pushing me towards her. And then there were French announcements all around which I did not understand but one called everyone off the metro which came once every 40 min which pissed me off a little. And becos of this stupid strike I will be giving up my Lourve trip later in the evening.
I had my first mid-term today. It is simple and I think I will do well. If the French students come to SG and have a taste of Corp Reporting or Income Tax they will be screwed.
Last week of SMU already, and NTU kids next week exams! NUS should be soon too, and Es and Blackie take care too. All of you take care yea!!
