Les photos de 17072006

The headlines in the major French papers over the last fews days have been the war between Israel and Lebanon. So far, world powers have taken sides with Lebanon, which is at the moment, it seemed, very much the victim of an unprovoked Israelis' attack. The number of civilian casualties continues to be on the rise. This far-away war (it's almost half the world away from Singapore) has the ability to conceive itself as a small war before developing into a world war. The Arabs against the Jews. And I believe the North Koreans might stick one leg in and fly some half-fook missiles to Japan and the US. Good luck to the countries in the space between (this line dedicated to the Dave Matthews Band).

You might feel that I am exaggerating but please do read the papers regularly and keep yourself updated. For me, dinner's become even more precious now because as we all know, when wars break out, all of us would have to start eating grass. This evening, I was out with a friend, Kok Meng, for dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Paris, recommended by a senior who was brought there by his Jap friend. The bowl of ramen below costs 6.50 euro, which is abt 13 sing dollars, just abt the cheapest restaurant meals one can find in Paris excluding Kebab, Merguez and stuff. The ramen tasted like ramen and is unlike any of the ramen we have in Singapore that's usually more like maggie mee. It had the right amount of spongy feel to it, not too soggy and not too hard.
















Keiko (which is, according to my senior, a Singapore slang for 'After that'), we took a walk to the Lourve. We didn't enter to visit Lisa. We walked through some sort of a tunnel and I discovered a nouvelle angle to view the pyramid. Managed to find a pretty girl who silently agreed to be my unpaid model, and because she's not paid, we don't get a picture of her face.




















I returned to my hostel at 9.15pm and here is a picture of a towerclock (chinese high rocks) which I had to walk past everytime I walk from the metro to hostel and vice-versa. Summer makes the sun (aka Weiming?) works harder and below, he illuminated the clock.
















Happy birthday Yuxuan. Weijie, please help pass the word and I am still awaiting your spew of vulgarities at KY. haha...
