Paris /6:11 PM

Entry 25th June 2008

At the Orly Ouest Airport right now.
Flight from Paris to Barcelona got cancelled unfortunately. EasyJet sucks. Seriously.
Ran around the airport to look for a cheaper and faster alternative.
Prices for a 1 hour flight escalates from 70 Euros to 226.26 Euros.
It was really crazy isn't it?
What's more, the journey time for the flight is only an hour.
That's Europe for you huh?

So now here i am in Orly Ouest Airport, waiting for the next flight which is like a day away.
It's 25th 1430 now. Flight's 26th 0700.
Owells, at least i can claim insurance. Or so i hope.

Paris was alright. Like the buildings but not entirely the people here.
People are really friendly but i can't say the same for their service. Disappointed.
Good weather. Albeit a little warm i guess.
I packed too many jeans and now i'm seriously hoping to grab a pair of cheap shorts or something short

It's Beautiful. With a varied mixture of building and architecture history.
I'm grateful to travel with a group of Architectural students.
Our whole travel itinerary is simply ARCHITECTURAL BUILDINGS!! haha.

And hey, if you think you're impressed with Singapore's railway system, check out those in Paris.
They got a total of 25 railway lines and railway stations that seemed maze-like and endless and confusing and it's so funny that sometimes you use the same ticket thrice to get from one train exit and onbound to another.
Amazing isn't it?

I promised to upload pictures from my Hokkaido trip but i've left the pics at my home desktop.
So another time then.
Make do with the pictures from the Europe architectural trip kay.

I still miss my cousin.
And the ache is still there whenever i thought about it.
It's painful.
But i've promised my aunt that i'll be safe and sound.
So i'll stay strong.
I'm thankful to those who're concerned about me.

Life and death is likened to a butterfly and its cocoon.
One day, it flies free like never before.
And that's the way we should face death.
Let it go and let it gain its freedom.
My dear Cousin, hope you're doing well over there.
Do appear in my dreams once in a while whenever you're bored;
whenever you need someone to talk to.
Alright?

pictures another time
