Easter in Paris!

I still can't believe how amazing Paris was. The 6 of us, 2.5 non koreans and 3.5 koreans went to Paris and crashed at Antoine's new apartment (lol he bought it a day before we went) for about 5 days! The apartment was really small, it's only a small kitchen and the living/bedroom (yes it is TINY) and costs nearly as much as a 3 room flat in Singapore. Paris truly has the most expensive housing prices!

And we got brought around to many places which are pretty local, instead of merely tourist destinations. Undeniably, Versailles and the Tour Eiffel are the must sees, these are AMAZING.

The pictures are grabs from Facebook, they are not in order (as usual, damn blogger) 

At Notre Dame! I haven't watched the movie though hahah

 Fondant au chocolat.. Of course in France you must eat the real deal :>

 Marc Jacobs coke hahaha

 Dinner - cod! Doesn't taste like cod though hmmm but it's nice nonetheless:) A meal like this will cost about 20 euros! Makes food in Singapore look SUPER cheap (no srs. 5francs will get you a bowl of soup. And it's those small bowl that you get when you order dry wanton noodles.)

 WHISTLER'S MOTHER OMGGGGG hahaha mr bean!!!!

Still looking as elegant as ever though

 The Louvre at night. Isn't she a beauty?

 Inside the Notre Dame. The cathedral is amazing, it supposedly has the best stained glass. There are confession rooms as well but.. I don't speak French hahah I would love to confess for once though, I wonder what I would say?

Hot chocolate outside the cafe, watching the world go by

 The boys waiting for me while I shop at Zara. I waited for them while they shop too, they are MAJOR shopaholics!!! Look at the bags they have, those are all theirs! They went crazy at Colette, Kenzo, Paul Smith.. Who knew?

 My dream bag!!!!! The Givenchy antigona!!!!! I nearly bought it hahahah omg it would have killed my budget though, but it was such a beauty and it's limited edition!!!! Cries

 Walking down the most famous street in Paris, Champs-Elysees~

 L'arc de Triomphe in glorious sunset

 Another amazing cathedral

This street artist is truly amazing. He stood on the podium thing and did crazy stunts with his soccer ball, apparently he's some sort of mini celebrity? He even scaled up the lamp post with amazing ease and started kicking the ball up!!! Wtf

Look what it is in the distance :D

Montmartre, Paris' artists residence, where famous painters used to stay (Dali/Monet/Picasso etc)

The artists that reside there do sketches and caricatures, and boy they are lined up one after the other, each one as talented as the last. I couldn't help commenting that I feel like a talentless bum hahaha

 THE REAL MOULIN ROUGE

Only my most favourite musical of all time argh!

The road there is crazy though there are SO many shops selling toys including a dildo with an Eiffel Tower base (so Parisian, lol)

The boys are surprised I've never stepped into a sex shop hahaha until now I still haven't! Sex is portrayed very explicitly here, I'm rather surprised, but I guess parents won't bring their kids here..

 EIFFEL TOWER OMFG IT'S BEAUTIFUL

Ni**gaz in Paris truly lol Josh is -.- at the back

 At night! We didn't stay long enough to watch it sparkle, little lights will blink all over the Tower and it truly looks like glittery diamonds in the night sky.. Too bad we didn't see it in its full glory!:( (we saw it on the first night from the Louvre, farrrrr away)

 Rented a boat at Versailles and rowed on the amazing river. It used to be the residence of King Louis XIV, and we even saw the house of Marie-Antoinette. The garden is mofo huge and it's symmetrical - that's the difference between French and English gardens.

 Such crazy good weather!

 "I'm on a BOAT!"

 The second garden. It was so intricate and beautiful, it looks like it's unreal!

This is on the last day while waiting for the boys to finish shopping so we can leave.. They were so late I was actually considering leaving without them -.-

Horses on a field :) I wish I can learn to ride one!

Secret to acing an interview

So I just got interviewed via Skype with Ritz Carlton Singapore and I'm pretty sure I got the job. They seemed to really love me and even said "There is a really high chance you'll work in our F&B department" and "You will receive information really soon" :)

I never actually doubted my interviews, I have a rejection rate of perhaps 10% or less because before the interview, I (egoistical as it may sound but I assure you I do not intend to come across like this) know I would snag it, and will go into the interview confident.

So here are just some of the myths about interviews and facts that I wish to share, about myself (may not apply to everyone)

1. I don't prepare for the interview.

One thing I don't do is prepare standard interview questions. I never do that. I just answer as honestly as I can, whatever pops into my head, because I believe that people will be able to tell if it's coming straight from your heart or not.

No standard questions, nothing. Just me and my experience and I.

2. Smile! Upsell yourself! BUAY PAISEH!

They'll always ask you for your strengths and stuff.. Just be buay paiseh! Seriously! You're good and you know it and you HAVE to tell them, now or never. Anyway if you don't tell them you'll probably never see them ever again so it doesn't matter.

3. Make sure your Skype is working..

Mine is super crazy argh it makes me look like I'm high on mdma or some shit, blinking non stop because the camera is playing on loop. Skype, wtf is wrong with you???

4. RESEARCH ON THE COMPANY

This is completely different from preparing standard questions. Don't ask stupid questions like "is your hotel a chain or independent" like seriously it just shows how stupid you are hahah which completely contradicts part 2. Make sure you know what you're in for before you sell your soul to the devil.

5. Dress pretty.

Most companies want you as their face or walking ambassador so make sure you look good, at least the top half of your body hahaha take the time to choose an outfit!

Okay I gtg for class now I've slacked enough hahah hopefully that helped!

What school has been like

It has been nearly a month and a half since I last left Singapore, and sometimes when the weekend gets quiet it still feels very lonely. I've friends here who are partying like CRAZY I don't even know how they do it, it's funny watching them get thrashed/drunk texting though

On a side note, the fire brigade came up to the school yesterday. Maybe you're not yet sure of the implications of this.. If you smoke in your room and the alarm goes off, after 10pm, security will not be able to switch off the alarm. The fire brigade will come up to the school, and if it's a false alarm, a 1000CHF fine will be imposed on the person who will set off the alarm. Yes, welcome to Switzerland, the land of overpriced commodities.

I'm really glad I got back into the game and joined EHL Cheerleading, granted, I was not a very active member back in RGS but then again back then, I did not love dance the way I do now. The squad is also the main dance team of the school, and for tuesday, we'll be performing for EHL's Got Talent (I know I know, me in a talent show? I never thought it was possible either) and it is a very intense dance routine. Yesterday we had a 3h practice and my thighs have never screamed with such pain before, glorious glorious muscle aches >D

Sometimes the alone time on weekends do give me some silent reprieve from all the crazy going ons in school.

What's your Oreo personality?

Psychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo cookies provides great insight into their personalities. Choose which method best describes your favorite method of eating Oreos:

1. The whole thing all at once. 
2. One bite at a time.
3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterwards. 
4. In little nibbles. 
5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee…).
6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.
7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside.
9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.
10. I don’t have a favorite way because I don’t like Oreos. 

Your Personality: 

1. This means you consume life with abandon, you are fun to be with, exciting, carefree with some hint of recklessness. You are totally irresponsible. No one should trust you with his or her children.
2. You are lucky to be one of the 5.4 billion other people who eat their Oreos this very same way. Just like them, you lack imagination, but that’s okay, not to worry, you’re normal. 
3. You follow the rules. You’re very tidy and orderly. You’re very meticulous in every detail with every thing you do to the point of being anal retentive and irritating to others. Stay out of the fast lane if you’re only going to go the speed limit.
4. Your boss likes you because you get your work done quickly. You always have a million things to do and never enough time to do them. Mental breakdowns and suicides run in your family. Valium and Ritalin would do you good.
5. Every one likes you because you are always up beat. You like to sugar coat unpleasant experiences and rationalize bad situations into good ones. You are in total denial about the shambles you call a life. You have a propensity towards narcotic addiction. 
6. You have a highly curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how they work, though not always able to put them back together, so you destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement when things go wrong. You are a compulsive liar and exhibit deviant, if not criminal, behavior. 
7. You are good at business and take risk that pay off. You take what you want and throw the rest away. You are greedy, selfish, mean, and lack feelings for others. You should be ashamed of yourself. But that’s ok, you don’t care, you got yours. 
8. You enjoy pain. 
9. Stay away from small furry animals and seek professional medical help - immediately. 
10. You probably come from a rich family, and like to wear nice things, and go to upscale restaurants. You are particular and fussy about the things you buy, own, and wear. Things have to be just right. You like to be pampered. You are prissy.

Oh LOL I enjoy pain?!?

Sometimes when we're so far away all I really need to know is that you need me as much as I need you

I really wanna get this

Lausanne in two weekends

Visited the market at Rippone.. Saturdays are beautiful days to go shopping:)

 Dogs are EVERYWHERE here. They are allowed in the stores and cafes <3 p="">

 Went to visit a church.. I had my eyes on all the amazing stained glass and architecture that I didn't see one of the stone bodies (similiar to the one above) on the floor, ALMOST TRIPPED OVER IT

Also, there are many trapdoors and stuff on the floor.. I bet there are a lot more history under the floors. Maybe zombies?
