le 19 juin
Friday, June 20th, 2008
Today is the 19th of June. Let’s just go by time. The day started off with me watching Friends until 9am (SG Time). Actually I was watching Jennifer Aniston. Anyway I can’t find anything compelling to do to make me want to go to sleep to prepare for the next day. Then I woke up [...]
beach volleyball and free condoms
Thursday, June 19th, 2008
so that’s what happened today!!!
frankly i preferred watching the guys play, it was way more exciting volleyball wise. AND they do not keep on doing stupid hugs and whatnot. not so much. girls have such an obsessive need for support and consolation. and they can’t jump properly, can’t serve properly, can’t spike properly. no wonder [...]
favicon
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
well you know that little icon that appears when you bookmark a webpage, i finally found out it’s called favicon. and i’ve got one too. it turns out to be really simple to do. you can just grab any picture, and use an online resizer which will reduce it to 16×16 and rename the [...]

Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1. never knew it looked like this from above. such a whirlwind terminal. you go in, you enter a spin dryer, and you come out having no idea of what you have gone through and also not knowing where you are.
but it does resemble a New Republic logo, which is kinda [...]

do you think my name sounds like “Jean-Louis”? haha. i wonder how that came to mind last night. “Jean-Oui” doesnt make much sense. “J’ennuie” perhaps.
now can you make any sense of this. *faints*. well yes you’re going to say that’s quite understandable, but how about having to write that out yourself

why paris is romantic
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
my answer used to be “because it’s paris”, that it is a dream that feeds on itself, but now perhaps i can start to see how so.
it is a great city. high population density, high cultural intensity, and the focus of an entire nation republic. [they always refer to themselves as republic]
but it’s a quiet [...]

[yesterday] 300.000 manifestants en France, selon les syndicats LINK
ohlala, that’s 10% of the population of singapore. 46% of teachers and 15-30% of public service. everybody gives different estimates anyway, the police estimate is always lower and the street one is always higher.
but the problem is that there’s another (major) strike on 22 May. LINK. but [...]
les grèves.
Thursday, May 15th, 2008
i was at trocadero, and i saw a statue of benjamin franklin, which reminded me of this statue of my ‘friend’ Dante Aligheri. this one was in barcelona. but yeah, Dante.
and then today i went to the library (faculty lib, bio) and found that it was closed. curses and curses. Translation of the sign (bottom): [...]
