Nice flower?
Buddha pose?!?
Castle

I woke up at 7.30 am. It was another bad day for me. I forgot to wake Janet up and was kana 讲by her. Sorry. We had our breakfast, and then set off to wait for the rest at the lobby as usual. We thought we were late, in fact we were the earliest. We then suspected something was not right. And they were all in their room. They don't even bother to inform us. I was quite pissed then. We then went ahead with what we have planned. On our way there, we met Eric who went for morning run. he told us that the school was not opened. This meant that we were not able to do any research for our project. -.- We continued making our way to UTC after Eric went off. It was true that UTC was not opened at all. We were lucky enough to chance upon the morning market on Sunday. There were lots of second-hand antique stuffs around. Also, there were a few vintage cars on display. It was super coolx!!! As we walked, we happened to find another supermart that sell more stuffs!!! Janet saw her MARIE biscuits!!! and she was very happy. We bought a wine and food! After that, we went to call back home. My mum promised me to treat me out for sthg after i got back to Singapore. lol. Lunch of spag with hotdog and ham was good. We slacked for an hour or two. Soon, it was time for the trip through the forest. We had a visit at the Armistice clearing where the treaty of peace between France and Gemany was signed. Then, we went to the castle of Pierrefonds. We were told that this castle was Louis the XI favourite place. The castle has the feel of Fairy tale - Rupazal. Also, we were told that we can get good ice-cream at 2 euro. After the castle, we took a short break at a vilage, Vieux-Moulin, there was lots of beautiful flowers there. =) Soon at 6.30pm, we were back. We then ate ice-cream(MAgnus) again as dinner. I rested and waited for my turn to bathe. Then Amy and Joanne cam over to over their food. During my shower, someone opened the bathroom door.-.- I was super angry at that moment. Argh! I even have the urge to chase them out. But i didn't. -.- Then, the group came to chitchat again. But this time round we were able to reject them fast enough. We went to bed at 11p.m.

It was the day for the Trip down to Amiens.=) Henri-Pierce said that the structure of Notre Dame D'Amien was even more manifique than Notre dame. Well we will see later whether it is true. lol. First, we took about 1.5 hours to reach the place where we will had a boat trip around Hortillonnages. Before the start of the boat tour, we went to relieve ourselves at the toilet. To our surprise, the toilet was a men and women toilet. The guys peeing place was so open, we joked by asking the guys of our group to use them. lol. Btw, the toilet was super open. lol. We were the last group to board the boat. It was cold. Anyway, the boat tour wasn't that manifique. Because all I saw were ducks, vegetation of onions and potatoes, many gardens with nice flowers! There were althogether 120 household living in the area of Hortillonnages and travelled around by boats. After that, we proceeded to Amien. We were to explore the place ourselves and meet back 5pm. We went to have Kebah. It was super nice that cost 5euro 50 centimes. We then went to Notre Dame D'Amien. Indeed, its building structure was a real WOW!!! but inside, it wasn't as WOW as in Notre Dame. haha. After that, we started to shop around. But, the clothes do not suit our taste. We ended up buying Chocolates that were freshly made! It's Yummy. They even allowed us to try and the piece of trying is the entire chocolate not a tiny piece! They were super generous.! We saw parade road show, people cycling with weird bicycles and wedding. We didn't witnessed the wedding but Amy and the rest did! So fun!!! lol. Gin Jin and Janet were all tired! This has made the window shopping around much more difficult and boring. Well, time passed at last! We were back by 6p.m. We had chocolate and orange for our dinner. Then Amy came to cook food to share with us. She was cooked at cooking!!! She cooked eggs with meat, ham and curry noodles. It was yummy. Then, Nadiah's group came. We had a little chat, and then they asked food from us! They were a bit like 自动嫂那么的不自动!! =X First Banana, then Juices. It's not that I am petty. But all these food we bought them was because we want to eat them, not that we had a lot of euros to spend so we buy them. Then, that HT kept teasing GinJin. It seem that he wanted to teased her by insulting her favourite player, then to have proper conversation. What a man! -.- Janet was the other one that was always kana shot. Obviously, I was not unhappy of their presence in our room. But... It's a tired job. We then went to Jing Wei's room. Their room were super cold. I did something stupid over there and was kana teased. We stayed for a while and then siamed back to our room. We started reflecting anf venting dissatisfaction. Hai! At certain point of time, I did some questioning about myself - How come I am getting more hostile, angry and dissatisfied? By right, I am suppose to enjoy myself. Y?!!! -.-

It was another day of lesson. Nothing interesting today. In today cross culture and design, I have learnt that French people are very implicit. What do I mean by that? This means that for every request they made u might not really know they were asking a favor unless u infer what they have said. Even in their advertisement, till the end of the entire advert you might not even know what products are they advertising for. haha. The Jean-pierre lesson was the worst of the worst. You can simply stone at one spot without knowing the lecture has ended. He just read from the slide. -.- For Lunch, I shared with Janet a tuna bread with a dessert and drink. At dinner time, we went to a pizza restuarant near UTC. I loved the mexicane pizza the best! hehe. We then went back to take a bath. To our surprise, the heater was not working. This means that we need to bath with cold water!!! The cold water here wasn't like at Singapore. The cold water here was really freezing cold. -.- We had no choice but to bath. Then we were called by amy to their room because she said frightenedlythat Joanne wasn't in her right self as she kept playing that 忘不了忘不了 song oh well, you guy shd have expected sthg right? Yes, We were kana tricked. It was a prank Fright night. I wasn't frightened but was kana shocked by Joanne sudden scream.-.- What a thing to play in the middle of the night. Eric tried to imidate what Joanne has done, it turned out to be a complete joke. He is more like the real ghost. lol. And quite a concidence that Joanne was in the same cell group as a weird girl, LiJian, in our course. She told us some stuff about her. lol. Then the rest started talking about the CBE fright night. It was the school that came out with the best Fright night so far. I was a little irritating by SQ's loud voice. At about 12 plus, we bid goodbye and went to bed.

Today, French lesson started the day. But not my day. I hate it when it comes to pair work. Argh! That HT kept instructing me to be faster as if I have learnt French for ages. -.- Er xin fellow! Next is Project Management. It was a slack lesson. The lecturer kept talking about the liasing between UTC and NTU. He is the vice-chair of UTC. Then he gave us a quiz as to name the 27 countries that belongs to the EU. lol. At lunch, we went to another student restuarant that was located downstair. This time round, I ordered ham with Frites. It was a bit expensive to the portion they gave. hmmm. The ham tasted salty. After lunch, it's time for the trip to Inergy. The presentation was super dry and boring. But after that, there were refreshment. Just like the word, Refreshment, we were all refreshed all of a sudden and we started eating and drinking. The pain de chocolate and the rasin bread were nice. We then had a tour around the workshop. It was much more interesting compared to the presentation. It is a production site of the cars' fuel tank part. They built the filter pipes, moulding the shape of the tank and conducting QA test for defects. They always have a perfect modelling used for visual aid - to compare with the product that has completed. The making of the tank wasn't that easy. It required a super high temperature of 200 degree celsius, so as to melt and blow the plastic into desired shape. It's interesting, isn't it? The French guy was suppose to be explaining to us of the going activities onsite, but he was too soft. In the end, HT need to help him to explain. lol. Everything ended at 5pm. We were then back to our room preparing for dinner. Today, we had spag with hotdog and suasage cooked by chef Gin Jin. After dinner, we headed back to school to use the computer and then to Leaderprice. We went back to bathe, chat and then to sleep. (p.s: I miss home)
