Saturday, 26th November @ 3:58PM
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!

I finally took the courage to erm- layout the whole 1000 photos; but i think i will limit to the better selections + the before concert sets:
Meeting up with Yuling
The awesome clouds, it should be around 7.30am in the morning~
Mini breakfast served on the flight. And our budget hotel with mostly fangirls staying for the night according to the counter :D
Off to meet Yuling as well as searching for suitable restaurants that are affordable for students like us!
After the hugeeee set we had, time to walk around, to burn off some fats. Somehow, it’s the most perfect weather It’s cooler than when my dearest Jean and LinMin came over. So it had been really comfortable.
Headed to Opera for some window shopping. The amount I’ve spent on concert tickets to air tickets and train tickets is too much to splurge on shopping any further :X {I ain’t rich :X}
But still i managed to splurge on two little bottles of nail polish; HA
Lastly, after long walks in the afternoon and thirstiness, Starbucks is a nice solution Too bad, i didn’t manage to find that biggest Starbucks store that mum’s friend was talking about or something. Or i got it wrong; LOL
It’s really a sad thing that there isn’t any starbucks in Bordeaux. :X It makes my taste buds for coffee/chocolate so dull. Compared to the Colombus cafe that i’m going recently, it’s really tasteless ;X

SHIT!

okay- i said the next time i blog i would be in singapore already. but right now, i’m still stuck in france. 
worse journey ever…
friday night slept at 1am till 3.30. Left the house at 4.30, it’s all frozen and frosty on the roads. Well- just before leaving, dad received an sms. it says; “your flight from bordeaux to paris has been cancelled, it will be postponed to sunday morning at 10+am” so… we were like ~!@#$%^&* but we still tried to go to the airport. by the time i got to the airport it was like 5.40~6am.
queued and re-queue again trying to get another flight. but it’s all fully booked.
no choice, we head home. New plan : SQ 333 is also fully booked on sunday. So we’d getting the one on monday. But we will still get to Paris on sunday. Just in case. Since SQ flights are rather early and it seems like early bordeaux paris flights are mostly cancelled. So then today- happily going to the airport. Everything looks alright. Managed to check in our luggages. We went rather early, done everything at 11am and the flight is at 1.30 where we can only enter at 1pm. Time for a break, it’s lunch time. Got a quiche lorraine… then dad’s phone got a new sms again…. “your flight has been cancelled” like WTFFF!! HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN? Okay, fine, so we came out with different plans to get to paris no matter what.
The cause of all these cancellation is because of the heavy snow in the north. If we couldn’t get train tickets, dad said that we will rent at car which cost a freaking 500+€!!! Then i said STOP PANICKING AND PLAN! Switched on my macbook to check for train tickets.
Earliest train available was at 14h22. for 5 passengers, it cost 419.50€ for the economy class and 460€ for the first class. Definitely go for the first class!
Then, we managed to get there fast, then when i tried to check out which lane is our train, it says 15minutes late. ><
Wait.... waiting...... and waiting...
new status ..... 40 MINUTES LATE!
Finally managed to board the train at 15h+ Carrying all the 8 luggages for my family is the real headache. 
Each one of them weigh at least 20kg. And each of us has to pull 2 luggages. Make that 45kg of stuffs that i’m pulling/carrying plus my bag. 
Found our seats… first class is awesome. LOL yes i know i probably sound like a retard. But i never knew that train’s first class had adjustable seats! LOL
Settled down, macbook out, and there i go with 3 episodes of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho! I’m till 1/4 of episode 15! OMO- it’s so sadddening~ okay fine, this is not an episode about dramas.
FINALLY REACHED the airport’s station at almost 8+, PM of cuz. Then figured the way to the hotel.
So finally, yeah- now im settled in, ready to sleep. EVERYONE, if you’re reading this, please pray for my flight tomorrow to be available! I’ve already wasted 3 days of which i should have been in Singapore~
time to turn in!
