Got back results for some of my modules..
Hope i completely passed everything.

Went to London for a holiday for a few days..
Bought stuff to fill my tummy in Paris..
Snacks rather...

Wondering if i can go back to London for a day to experience the boxing day sales..
That will be really fun..
Cuz the real sale in London is the boxing day sales...
Sighs...

I miss the food in Singapore.
Can't wait to go back & eat...

2nd month is approaching..
Paris has been quite nice to me so far..
Went out at night for 2 nights consecutively..
Interesting and frustrating experience..
Caught the last train and had a hard time trying to get a cab to go home after 2 in the morning..

Attended a bit of the "White Night" Event..
A once a year experience...
Sadly didn't manage to soak in throughly the feeling of white night by travelling ard Paris to see the arts display...

finally, I got my student card...
Interestingly, i've got to put my own passport photo there by myself...
Such an DIY experience...

slowly learning about France and the French culture through pple in school and around...
Interesting experience...
Given an opportunity, I'll come back again, but this time just not very much alone i hope...
Wish so badly that mummy, Shaina & daddy are here...
Swells...

Wanna go back to SG so very badly...
but i'll try to enjoy what i can enjoy here...
Miss the feeling of being pampered and in my own comfort zone...
Sighs..>
Seriously hope i can get use to this soon...
Real soon...

Ireland students came over to Paris for 4-5 days...
Interesting...
Had lots of fun & we found out alot more...
Life's of exchange students...
Haha...
Interesting experience playing host to fellow Singaporeans in a foreign land..
=)

Alexa's birthday was a fun-filled one here in Paris...
Had Singapore, finland, french, german, romania celebrating her birthday with her.
=)
Had a small little gathering here at home...
=)
Interesting time...
Kindda enjoyed it...
At least there was familiar faces in our house & here in Paris...
=)

Hope that there will be more fun times to cover up the misery of me missing home so badly...
Then i can be much happier than i think i am...

I miss the comfort of home...
I miss being able to run into those comfort arms of the ones i love...
i miss my girlfriends...
I miss being home..

Sighs..
I pray everyday for God to allow me to see the light of happiness...
& pray that he will understand me truly...
i miss going to church...
I miss being home...
Sometimes i feel that God isn't around...
I'll continue to pray like taught..
& i'll trust him to hold me & lead me through this journey..
& make this a smooth sailing one..

I'm missing home badly..
I miss the company of pple that i love & treasure...
I only can write & call home to hear their voices...
See their photos to see them..
I miss so many things...

I'm trying not to cry...
I really miss home...
its coming to a week...
But i really really miss my bed, my mum & sis, my dear friends & my baby...
Sighs...

I know i'm suppose to experience lots of stuff here...
I am & i'm not really regretting it, but the misses are bad...
I feel home sick.. =(

I dun understand the language theses people are speaking...
Tho i'm here to learn, but its not easy...
Sighs..

School's starting for me...
My heart is neither here nor there...
I want to be here, but then again, i wish i was home in my own little comfort zone...
Where i know i can do well with my friends & all at home around me...
=(

How how...
I want to cry badly...
but i dare not cry here...
How how...

3rd day in Paris...
Its 11pm now, gg midnight...
We've been round our neighbourhood these few days...
Our school is just 20 mins walk away from home...
=)
Can save on transport...

Today we've been to the Eiffel Tower & the Arc
Its very so interesting..
had a long walk in Paris Central...
& it felt lyk summer...
Gosh...
Kena sun burn i tell you...
Terrible...

Took the train for the 1st time...
Dunnoe good or bad...
but i had an experience..
Seriously...
One of us witness a theft situation right in front of her eyes...
I didn't see it...
but saw the victim running after tt person...
Scary...
After witnessing that...
I felt uber paranoid & starting hugging my handbag tightly...
So scary lah...
& the trains...
Goodness, to get off the train, we've got to unlock our own doors of the cabin to get off...
& the train door closes automatically whether or not there is pple trying to get in or not...
Scary...
So had to rush in & out of the train fast...
If not we'll miss either the train or miss the stop...

Not a very friendly situtaion...

But the interesting thing is that seats at the cabin's door or all folderble or some sort,
like the seats in our Singapore cinema...
The pple here are lyk uber 'zi dong'
They will stand up & give up their seats, to make way for more standing passengers to come on board the train...
=)

Today's experience out in town was truly an eye opener...
haha

Anyway, pictures are up on facebook...
=)

To oso survive the cold winter days & nights...
I'm gg to miss all the pampering when I'm back in Sg...

I'm gg to be alone, in a foreign land...
Far away from my love ones & friends...

Sighs...

Round 1 of TEP ended for me on Friday...
Lots of different feelings...
strangers that eventually became friends...
friends that eventually became closer or grew distant

But EMRS was a place that i learnt alot...
Thanks to my 3 supervisors & friends...
Interestingly, my impression of EMRS changed over the 8 weeks i was there...

I love the bond that was fostered within EMRS...
I'm really glad...
These experiences tgt with the memories will be kept & stored...

However much i dread to go to round 2 of TEP...
I think i shld keep an open mind & mayb that's when i'm going to learn more...
& grow as the time goes by...

Praise God for everything & I'm glad he was there for me...

*God was always there for me**
**He had his reasons for doing things**
**I'm glad he walked me through**
**& I know that he will show me the truth of my many MAYBEs**
