I am very very proud of this photo!!!!

Check this out!

It was seriously raining cats and dogs and the weather was so cooling. No sun at all! (well, I know it's still there, but you should see how huge it is facing me everyday here in Grenoble). 19deg C but actually feels more like 13deg or something... Well, don't trust the 25deg C also, it is probably 30++ deg C here...

Another thing about having rain is.. since I cycle to campus, and it's not that near, and... ya.. I have no rain coat, no umbrella, so... I depended on my dear black Atticus jacket to cover me up and yup.. I was soaked with water all over.. But a great experience! Haha.

Cycling in this kind of weather minus the rain, is the kind of thing I am looking forward to for the next 2 weeks!!

Lalala...

Here in Grenoble, I take Digital Signal and Image Processing and I go to this university called INPG (not Aih-En-Pee-Gee but Iiih-En-Peh-Je) - That's the French Alphabetical pronunciation. My class starts at 9.00am. It is a culture in France that the French people is always late. So I think my class starts at 9.10 am daily.

I cycle from my Residence to my campus daily. The trip is around 20 minutes on average but can reach 15 to 10 mins depend on the speed (fast to crazy fast). Well, it has never taken me 10 minutes cos I cycle with my 2 other friends.. and how can I possibly leave them behind?? (LOL...)

Anyway my campus looks like this:

Okay, it doesn't look a bit like campus, but it is! and the sunlight.. now I know how Reren felt melting under the sun...

Be Happy!

I think that's "high" on food after lunch.

First, we learn how to make chocolate mousse:

which then became

Then you get to eat it...

Well, then the main course (which I didn't get to eat, and you'll learn later why). Btw it's chicken with red wine.

and many more of course... but... in the end:

Learnt something very very important,

if you do this too much

then you will experience this when everyone else is having their main course:

But actually, it's okay because in the end of the day, everyone is a winner!

Thank you and have a good day!

People keep asking me where I am now. Like, they don't even know which country or city I am now in Oh well, the place is called Grenoble, it's in France, near the city Lyon. It's like a small city, ulu-ulu kind that it's not easy to reach by place. Just like my dear hometown Medan.. LOL. Anyway, don't be fooled by the mountaineous surrounding the city. IT IS SO DARN HOT HERE. The last temperature I saw is 32 deg. C.

I woke up at 6 am, trying to finish up the last document for my French visa application today. I was doing my resume and realize how little I can write. Oh well, that's not important. I finished it up and went to the bus stop as I planned to take A1 to YIH to print my bankbook and take 151 from there.

Weird things start to happen when I arrive at the bus stop and see BTC coming. My first impulse is just to get up the bus and worry later. Umph. So I tried calling Hartanto who took the bus before but apparently his phone is off. I don't know who else to ask about BTC so I sms-ed Indra in Sweden (what an expensive SMS, lol) and he replied telling me the bus will not stop until it reaches NUS Bukit Timah Campus. I thought it's ok I'll just find my way around once I reached there.

Ppl say that the Bukit Timah Campus is European-style, so Indra mentioned that I could taste how it feels like in Grenoble *errr.....*. When I first reached the first bus stop, I didn't want to look as if it's my first time on this bus there, so I acted cool and DIDN'T GO DOWN THE BUS. The 2nd stop is the main whitish building, I went down and felt lazy that to walk further outside, so I went back in to the bus *second errrr....*. Then I realized that the bus does not stop in the areas inside BTC anymore *LOUDEST ERRRRR....*. I've already started feeling as if I'm in a sight-seeing ride from NUS-BTC-NUS with a 1 min stop at BTC until it stopped at one of the nearest public bus stop to fetch some NUS students going to the Clementi campus. Thank God!!!

The French Embassy sent me home because of the uncertainty about my travel/medical insurance.

They didn't know I have so much more to study for my exam!!!!!!!

Huhuhu.... :'(
