The Geneva Report:Day 2

Today we spent the morning being regular fixer-uppers, tidying things up around the house and getting things ready for Hari Raya. Then we dashed off to town really quickly, before coming back home and then driving off again to go to France. Versoix is just a quick drive away from France, Valtoiry to be exact. Its a bit like driving to Miri from Belait. But closer. And more scenic. Hehe. On the way there, we passed by the CERN Labs (Doc Naughty, remember Angels and Demons? hehe), its really quite freaky thinking that you could be driving over nuclear labs, seeing as most of their labs are located underground. Weird! :s

Today I learnt that although I can more or less guess what things mean when I read them in French, when people speak to me I'm still bangang, like duh... Hohoho. Bet people in the shops think I'm really annoying. Haha. It's quite hard as well, I can't ask things like 'Do you have this in another colour?' or 'Does this come in a smaller size?'.. I'm just going to be an eksen and pretend I look like I know what I'm doing. haha. Also, lots of people here have really cute dogs! Mostly those cute tiny ones, like Shih-Tzus... Reminds me so much of Toulouse! If only he could have come with us...he'd really love it here. hehe.


The mountains bordering the road on the way to the supermarket in France


Even the petrol stations here are nice


Weird and wonderful pumpkins in the supermarket

The famous Broken Chair monument outside the UN building. The broken leg symbolises opposition to land mines and cluster bombs

The Geneva Report: Day 1

Yoohoo my fellow Ants! Big Ant here reporting from the Big City. hoho. We finally arrived here in Geneva! Weather today is absolutely glorious its so sunny and mild, reminds me so much of our first time at LP. Haven't been out and about yet, so far things have just been mad and crazy here at the Versoix house. Mum has been busy cleaning, Dad is cooking (lol), and the rest of us are just making a nuisance of ourselves. hoho. Generally we're all just resting after such a long journey. I was totally sakai at Terminal 3 at Changi Airport yesterday (LOL). Completely embarassing.. I was also sakai playing the games on the SQ flight (you can totally tell I haven't been on SQ since....oh.... probably the 80s hahaha). But the thing that amazed me the most was how the Indon lady sitting in front of me from Singapore to Zurich managed to keep the massive volume in her hair throughout the whole 11-hour flight! At the end of the flight my hair was just a limp mess, and hers was still perfect as ever! I don't get it... :S Anyway, am off to mandi now, I feel grimy and gross. Will post photos later! Miss everyone, big hugs!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ok. Its now 8.55pm and I'm all alone at home, extremely BORED! Am just waiting for the week to end so I can officially start my leave! hehehe... Everyday it gets harder and harder for me to wake up for work, so I end up strolling in around 8..LOL... sometimes just in time for my first class... YAWN... why must we work during puasa anyway, I think its counter-productive since everyone just tries to do the minimum work possible (or is that just me? hoho). Sooo pointless..

I'm looking forward to tommorow's sungkai! Although I haven't called them to make a booking yet (lol. Don't kill me!), I keep forgetting! Will do it tomorrow insyallah. Little Ant, we'll take lots of pictures for you hehehehe... On another note, am really liking this blogging thing, I find it quite cathartic writing my thoughts. Just helps to put things into perspective.

Anyway, I'm just rambling really. Nothing much else to report, will see you guys tomorrow then and Dr.N, no excuses this time! hehehe....
Lots of love and hugs!!! ~PPP~

It's all about colours!!!!!
