Tick-Tock

A place where I used to pass by during my first two years of study in France.
A place where my senior had once carried his internship.
A place where I had visited with a friend of mine.
A place where I recognize it by it's marvelous château d'eau.
A place where storks return in Spring.
A place where has many castles nearby.
A place which I never thought that I would come to pursue my internship as what my senior did.
A place where I never spent my weekend since my internship starts.
A place where sometimes I want to escape from.
A place where I undergo probably my toughest period in France.
A place where somehow I hate to stay for another day.
A place where I won't return to work at.

Thus it explains why I return to Metz in the weekend no matter how long the journey is.

I like to spend time with friends.
I like to be at my own room.
I like to sleep on my comfortable bed, pillow and blanket.
I like to dine together with friends.
I like to chat with them.
I like to shop around.
I like to listen to the silence of night.
I like to watch the view from my window.
I like to call back to Malaysia to reach my family.
I like to cook when I have in good mood.
I like to "Facebook".

Thus it explains why I prefer staying in Metz than staying in Sélestat.

During weekdays, I want the time to run faster but I want it to be slower in the weekend.
During internship, I want it to end soon but I don't want to leave France so soon.

I like both life in France as well as in Malaysia.
I want to be with my family and friends.

Thus in the end I've decided to go back to Malaysia for good.

Finally and finally I caressed the new redesigned Macbook Pro! It's extremely pretty, the elegance, the lines, the simplicity, the quality, the performance... every aspect of the MBP attracts me so much! I must own it as soon as possible, no matter what the price is, muahaha ...

Never expected that Salon Mondial de l'Automobile is a biennial auto show in Paris, one of the most important auto shows in the world, so it would be pity if I didn't go to have a look during my stay in France. Next two year I might not be in France, thus it's a sudden decision to go to Paris yesterday. My school organized a bus trip to the exhibition on last Thursday, yet I didn't join it. 5 hours by bus from Metz to Paris, and European bus's seat is narrow; sitting on a narrow seat for 5 hours, I rather spend more on comfort. Since buying train ticket in a day prior to the departure, it really cost me a fortune, besides the ticket I got guarantee no seat, la place selon la disponibilité was printed on my ticket. Fortunately it was just a day trip, no bulky luggage with me, a single small rucksack accompanied me all day, albeit no seat was available, I managed to find an unoccupied retractable seat at the front coach to sit down.

It's time to revive my blog. Yeah, and again I am back to my room-sweet-room in France where equipped high-speed internet access and wifi. I am quite addicted to it, no work and no internet make me a dull teenager . Eh oui, that's why I didn't update my blog since after my small operation (P/S: blaming something or someone for something faulty is not my habit... ). Speaking of the operation that I underwent, I am fully recovered! Great news it is, I am getting used of the "side-effect" after the operation.

Yesterday night all in a sudden I have a concrete planning in regards with my summer trip . First and foremost, I decided to follow Luke and Jun Hui to Bangkok, Macau and Hong Kong for 8 days in July. It's a last minute decision; everyone has booked the fight tickets and hostel earlier, I got to book them in no time since the price varies everyday. Luckily am I, I managed to buy them at the same price as theirs. Jun Hui recontacted the hostel for room change to 3 persons, two out of three have been confirmed the change, the one in Macau has yet to replied his mail. I feel so sorry , all because of my last minute decision, they have to change this and that. Well, the more the merrier, they should be happy of getting another companion/photographer for their trip .
