I know the blog hasn’t been greatly taken care of this Nov. Up till now with only 2 posts this month, sound really depressing isn’t it?
I shall try my very best to make the stories more lively here. In fact, I have a little plan to reconstruct the design. I thought about designing my own tree house and implement it as my blog. But erm- this plan might take some time, since I wanted it to be more interactive and flash based. 
School is taking so much time. Or consider myself handling time really badly then 
This is a special post dedicated to Felicia 
My stalker buddy. LOL Frankly speaking i think “stalker friend” sounds pretty cute! It was her birthday yesterday, I promised to update my roadtrip photos. But er- there were 290 photos to choose from, so finally I only picked out 45 of them 
11.11.11
A very special date isn’t it? It turned out to be a public holiday in france too. Dad was so keen about going on a road trip. And we all had a 3 day weekend. So we went off saying that we would head to Sarlat.
But basically, we stayed in the car for the whole day, LOL Which mom totally hates it. Then when we reach main towns, we got down and walked around a little…
First stop, meeting point with some family friends at the petrol station around my house.
Well, one saddest point about public holidays in france would be that, EVERYWHERE you go, it’d be EMPTY! tsktsk, these people really don’t have an active life like those singaporeans. Whenever it’s public holiday, shopping centers will be full of people right?!
Super excited dad! Like a 3yr old kid; haha
After 2hours of drive, first rest point for toilet breaks and mid-breakfast!
Our favorite companion, JD :D
But the sad thing is looks like he doesn’t really seem care about me anymore 
Whenever I call him, he wouldn’t come, unless there’s food What a dog!
(Super heavy photo posts! around 47photos!)
First toll fees! but nope; not paying! Just getting a ticket,
The first town! Sarlat!
Apparently there’s a film festival going on. So surprisingly, there were people around. LOL Plus there’s an event going for the 11/11. One of the history dates, which is the armistice, the end of world war i.
taadaa! There was a mini parade going on, bands playing…
Then it’s time to hit off to another point.
I kinda forgot, but i think it was around another 40mins of car ride before we reach here.
Found a very pretty bridge, there I was thinking, what i waste, I should try to get an infrared filter for some pretty cool fantasy-ish photos! Imagine the same scene with white/pink trees?! I think it’d be really pretty!
I found some super cute wild mushrooms! Speaking of which, my garden has been popping a lot of new cute wild mushrooms!
First panorama of the day! I should really try and put in more effort for panoramas with a camera stand!!! 
but most of the time i’m lazy to bring out the camera stand, it’s too much of a hassle 
this shot as infrared one would be super cool
LOL, self-portrait. I wanted to try high exposure, with flying orange streaks of hair, but failed, there’s no wind available.
and there’s like a swan family in the river this one came over when I was trying to photograph him/her
I think it’s more like he/she thought i would give him/her food! Since i didn’t he/she decided to leave!
Another side!!! I love these panoramas!
And we’re off again!
this time, the car ride took almost 2 hours! And we were heading to Rocamadour!
Moooooooooooos along the way!
Dad didn’t take the autoroute (expressway), instead we go through countryside roads,
Beautiful autumn tress!
Finally reached Rocamadour!
If I am not wrong, the town is a touristic place for a world wonder cave or something. But we didn’t really visit. LOL We just went up the mountain to breathe the fresh air!
See! We’re really high up!
One end to another! Just the horizon!
Further-in, there’s a church! Actually you can pay money to go to the top to look at the view But once again, thinking of the stairs to climb, and the money to pay, we didn’t go up! LOL
When we’re out, we found these Like three best friends, three brothers; LOL different generations of Porshe!
Ahh, cars!
I loveee carss :D I love driving! that’s the big point that I’d be missing out when I go back to Singapore for my internship. I’d miss my SLK pretty much! Plus, my recent facebook/twitter spam on that Mercedes SLS AMG just outside school; tsktsk~ made me dream even more! Like maybe one day! I can drive a car like that; LOLOLOLOLOL
Just another teen dreaming~
Time to go home! 250+km to reach home actually, almost hitting 300.
Toll fees again! I think dad spent almost 20€ on the toll fees~ tsktsk,
Reached our main city town and it was almost 8pm. Went for a buffet dinner at a chinese restaurant, their salmon sashimi’s awesome, once it’s out, everyone just snatch them up! thinking of it makes me drool; ha!
Headed home after that!
Actually sitting in the car whole day is pretty tiring!
2 hearts;
I’M ALIVE!

woa; i know i know, i’ve missing out on blogging 
much disappointed as readers are, but then school decided to have the same deadline for all subjects! ok; mistyped, same deadline for the week! so from monday to friday, i have an assignment to hand up.
I passed up today’s bloody text critic! Even presented to it, totally horrible. I totally hate talking in front of everyone, especially for such a class. I don’t mind presenting my work; but critic stuffs?! I totally can’t make it! It’s pretty crappy as a presentation I gave my inner voice in my head sound perfect, but when my lips do their job, ***dang*** the sky crumbles-
I’m still quite horrified about how badly i think my presentation is. Sheesh, why can’t chairman get rid of this class??! After all those important points that everyone pointed out?! Sadly, it seems like this teacher has a special power over other teachers like DUH?! O.O Thinking about how she gladly place her hand over my shoulder…. its like ewww; deep inside I was screaming; “NO! I don’t want your attention!”
Once again I have a number of outdated photos. Which i doubt i will be posting today.
Just wanted a quick update~
One of the heaviest “assignment” due this week; POPPINGGGGG-up again;
My previous pop up for my ladies was more fun to make. This was kinda brain-racking for some parts. But quite suddenly… im thinking if this popup is worth the trouble. Too late to regret anything now, it’s for wednesday! I’m still in the midst of gathering my research to assemble a notebook; Heh! Double-side printing, hello to more problems!
Another thing to celebrate! among these difficult times, a new piece of illustration for tomorrow ;) Seems like every new assignment, I would progress to a new level of painting. I think I’ve got a better grasped color selection. Plus I’m proudly presenting the real and official NEW character. Pencil sketched, then because of my “eye leveling” position, corrected in Photoshop; analyzing the shadings with Isabelle’s guides and teacher’s pointers~ I’ve advanced to a new level again XD Well, I will find time to update my portfolio
All right, I’m all lightheaded already, even though it’s only 11.16PM. At least I’ve got my morning tomorrow ;) I think I’d prefer to sleep in, but then, thinking about the rush to find my appetite for an early lunch before my stomach screams at me later, waking up early should be a good choice 
Stay tuned! Driving trips and older food photos from Lacanau~
(p.s. if you realized, it seems like EVERY YEAR, I will go to Lacanau for a gourmand meal 
)
