Man, it's exam time! The past 3 weeks have been a real killer, with so many projects due at the same time and a last minute final project for e-business that constitute 100% of our final grade due within 1 week, as well as 2 exams on 5 & 7 june, with a full day class on the 6th...what a way to spend ur bdae...grr! And the first half of last week was just spent doing my proj for logistics for 2 days straight, and financial engineering for the whole of the third day, sleeping only at 6am and waking up at 8am for presentation...WTH! Just when i thot SMU was mad cuz everything was due at the last min, ESSEC is even more shocking, sometimes even aiming to kill us! haha...could finally breathe a sigh of relief last thurs after the last lesson of the term... Anyhow, i'm still behind on updating my blog..cuz whatever i'm blogging rite now is gg to be from end of last month...:(
Summer in Paris is weird as well as disgusting. You see flies moving around in groups all the time, and if you don't avoid them, they'll just fly into you and get stuck on your clothes...not only do they not have a sense of direction, but their reaction is super slow..just one swat and they'll all be exterminated! But the thing is that there's so many of them around that looking at their numbers just makes your hair stand on its ends...Also, the sun only sets at 10pm and rises at 6am...so it's bright all the time. THough the day is longer, but it's tiring cuz you can't really go to bed when it's so bright at night, and the sun rises so early in the morning that there's no choice but to wake early too...
I'll be kinda relieved when i leave paris i guess..hope there are not too many flies in italy or spain...but guess will miss the memories and gd times here...but i'll ponder about it on thurs, when i finish my final exams!
Right, now here are more pics from a party in sch as well as the belgium trip:
This was the last party of the term at ESSEC, 24th may...Seems pretty early for a last party huh...when the term only ends a month later...but whatever, we just went for some relaxation. Above is a pic of me and mic with the geopolitics prof, Mr Nestorovic. Quite a funky guy, hardly see a prof who would hang out with students in the sch bar, Foy's...He's extremely knowlegeable as well...he knows stuff that you've never ever heard of...cheerios to the prof who changed our perspective immensely in terms of politics, human rights etc...SMU should consider employing him...
More international students: Kaixin, me, mic, ann and david..
Went to brugges in belgium next day after the party, it was about 9pm when we arrived, but see how it seems only like 6pm? This pic was taken on our way to the hostel...
Supposed to be one of the 14 famous hostels in europe...but i don't find it that great...mayb it's the bar that they have downstairs that's popular...their breakfast variety suck though..
Markt Square...the busiest gathering places in brugges, feels abit like Dam square in amsterdam though...but the buildings here are much more picturesque...don't ya think?
Belfry tower...another landmark in Brugges with one of the oldest clock tower and 300 odd steps to reach to the top...din go for that cuz you need to pay to go up...plus i'm sick of views of the top! The square within the tower looks pretty gd enough though... 
The postal office i think...horse-drawn carriages are a common feature in belgium, a form of transport for those staying in 5 star hotels...u see the horses peeing and shitting all over the place though...euh..
THis building is pretty nice, but i can't remember what it is... 
One of the chocolatiers in Brugge...think it's Truffle Huis...All their chocs are extremely innovative and interesting...just look at this and you will see: breasts wearing bras...looks pretty authentic huh...
A chocolatier that specializes only in truffles...loved their chocs but too bad i only bot 1 box...their prices are pretty ex compared to the other shops... 
This is the place where you will fall in love with beer...whether you were a beer fan or not. The beers are all flavored, ranging from cherry beer to raspberry, peach, banana, apples, chocolate, pineapple beers etc...Really an eye-opening sight...They sell all types of beer that you've ever seen...
In the bottle shop...
Bought like 12 bottles of beer in total...
Bought the fries in meat sauce and bicky burger from this stand outside Belfry tower...Quite a nice experience to eat standing beside the stand, but too bad it was rainy then...and i prefer the beef chilli cheese fries from Carl's Junior...
Till next time :)
