PARIS HOLDS THE KEY TO YOUR HEART.
My 200th post! Haaha, came back from EUROPE! I had major jetlag . I slept at 3 am on saturday and at 1am the next day. JONAS BROTHERS WERE IN PARIS WHEN I WAS! So not fair. the schedule was switched. I could have seen them!
1st day: 13 hour flight. I slept for 3 hours, watched Supernatural, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Project Runway, Step Up 2, and bits of everything. And ate jelly beans with Charlotte and Hui Jie! Hui Jie is one heavy sleeper. She slept throught the entire landing. Arrived at the hostel. Bunked with Ping En, Clara Tee and Grace!
2nd day: Was on digicam duty today. 2 musuems who actually allow photography! My neck was so sore (the cam was heavy). The Musee d'Orsay and the Pompidou. In between we went to the Eiffel Tower for some outdoor sketching! But it rained so we went to the shelter and skected from our cameras. Pathetic right? The real sight of the Eiffel Tower is incomparable to pictures on cameras and internet. It's amazing. When we were eating lunch, everyone took off their jackets, and when we were sketching I was doind jumping jacks to keep warm!
3rd day: Went to the Arch of Triumph! And to the Louvre! Saw the Mona Lisa. The weather was nice today. Not psycho like the day before. Then we went to the little garden and did one whole afternoon of outdoor sketching! At the amazingly detailed (and impossible-to-sketch) NOTRE DAM CATHEDRAL. We also saw an impossibly fat pigeon. The size of a rabit. We ate escargot that night! It was nice but all I could seein my head was a snail covered in slime. So I gave the rest to Jo Yee. She ate 15 pieces altogther cause Clara gave hers to her as well.
4th day: EURO-DISNEYLAND. Went on Thunder Mountain, the Indiana Jones Ride, SPACE MOUNTAIN, and the Star Wars thing. My favourite was Thunder Mountain. We had to wait for an hour, but it was worth it. We took pictures everywhere! We had chocolate mousse for dessert. I remember that.
5th day: Spent the entire day travelling. Stopped by Brussels for lunch. There was a store full of CARAMELS. HEAVEN! Arrived at Amsterdam early. Nearly froze to death when I didn't think to bring a jacket (It's a lot colder in Amsterdam than in Brussels or Paris). The hotel is awesome! It had joint balconies. Su Lin, Clara Wong, Clara Tee, Ping En and I filled half the bath tub with hot water and put our feet in!
5th day: Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt House Museum and Anne Frank Museum. The only one interesting was the last one. I kinda teared at the end of the trip. We also went shopping at a dutch flea market.
6th day: Outdoor sketching at the windmills! We froze and most of us went literally numb in the cold. We also went to the cheese and clog factory. Then after lunch we went on a river cruise! After that, shopping near the red light district. It's FREAKING creepy. Until we started speaking chinese to make ourselves less.. un-communicate-able? It forever tarnished my image of Amsterdam. The over-caffeinated Hamster (Sylvia) almost bought a canabis lollipop!
7th day: Left for Singapore. I watched Step Up 2 twice, St Trinian's, Definately Maybe and 20 minutes of atonement before I decided it was too boring. The movies kept jamming! Everytime it did, Ping En and I would exchange glances, and Clara would start clicking her pen to 'vent her anger'. Charlotte and I sang 'Touch my Body' just to freak out Clara! Haha. When we heard the pilot say that the Singapore air temp was 28 degrees, all our jaws dropped! That's almost twice as hot as Amsterdam!
Now, I'm still feeling damn stuffy. Not used to the weather. Jetlag wearing off though, thank goodness.
Went to Vivo today! With Diane and Regina. As usual, we made each other try on ridiculous things. I bought a top and Diane bought skinnies! Haha. I also found One Night Only's album! SOOO cool!
This has got to be the longest post in a long time.
People say I only hear what I want to That much is true People say I only see what I want to Then how come I see you - You and Me One Night Only
