What would Christmas be like?

People say there're twelve days of Christmas...really?

First day of Christmas, 251209.

The ten of us were invited by our professor, Nicole to have Christmas lunch with her family. So we met up with her and Vincent at the gare around 12.30pm. Sat their cars and off we went to a little village nearby. Met her big family, with her parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, cousins, nieces, nephews and etc. Apparently, my professor is half-Italian! So her parents spoke French in a total sexy Italian way hahaha. (I wonder how Toefl would sound when he talks in Italian) So, we had juices and small pizza tarts as starters. I was pretty hungry so I hentam down quite alot. The menu of the day was, lasagna with minced pork as l'entrée, beef steak or a freaking fish for each person as le plat principal, cheese with bread and salades as the extras, le buche de Noël which is a traditional French Christmas cake here, many types of fruits and lots of wine wine wine. I didn't drink even a sip, but someone definitely drank without caution (I hope this would not happen again, yeah?). But overall, it was fun eating and talking at the same time, catching up with the seniors. We stayed there till 7pm. Nicole liked the handbag that we got her for present! Hopefully she'll finally add another different colour to her handbags collection. She rocks la, I mean which proff is as kind as her to invite us to celebrate Christmas along with her family :D Vincent drove us back home, and I came back home...feeling hungry. Gosh when will I stop feeling hungry...

That's me with the delicious fish.

Going abit crazy without Vincent in the car.

 

Second day of Christmas, 261209.
Another professor invited us over to her house for lunch! We walked to her house, the eleven of us. Once we arrived, we gave her the present that we've got for her and hahaha we got her a bag for jungle trekking, because she looooooves jungle trekking all the time. She loved it too. *beams* And we sat in a table, like a big family, only that we all have different mothers. We had salade as l'entrée, a big turkey as le plat principal, le buche de Noël as the traditional Christmas cake in France! Along with tea, coffee and Christmas biscuits. It was my first Christmas turkey I ever had in my life, aww thanks Patricia! We played two games together and haha it was hilarious watching Patricia and her son, Arnold arguing all the way and Arnold being the Mr-Know-It-All with the questionnaires hehe. Went back around 8pm. It was fun alright. :)

That was my Christmas.

How about yours?

Christmas is finally here.

 Grow up right?

Hello there.. Out there far away back in my homeland, Merry Christmas to all of you! I'm missing you guys dearly.. Seriously, it's so weird to be celebrating Christmas this year without my very dearly missed family and my friends whom I love back in Malaysia. Every single year, I took it for granted that I would always get to celebrate it with my family, or rather my family would always be there for me. But now, being in France for my studies haha, things changed. I have to grow up, I can't be the little daughter that held on too tight on her parents, depended on them of nearly everything. Whether I like it or not, I have to grow up hahaha.

 But no matter what, Christmas is all worth to be celebrated. The birth of the most important person of my life. That is Jesus, my savior and best friend :)

Wishing all of you whom dropped by my blog,
Merry Christmas and Joyeux Noël! 

Headache fever.

I've been MIA, missing in action from my blog haha. Hey y'all! I'm doing just fine here, not really feeling well due to the weird weather here. It either gets very chilly or too cold or... plain weird. Still not used to winter. Currently having my two weeks holidays till the first week of January and the crazy schedule of classes starts all over again with more new subjects. Such as Electricity, pergh. Past few days totally just lazing around and just set up my new speakers. Haha would love the subwoofer but my head seems banging the whole day, so the bass bang bang is not really my friend to my headache right now. Barely finished those homework given for the holidays. I think it's just the gloomy weather here that's making me so, lazy. Yeah, I miss the sun. Totally.

Even when the waves are coming through.

Is there anyone...
whom really understands me?
whom knows how am I feeling?
whom will just be there for me?

In this world, nothing is permanent. All will fade away and all will cost nothing in the end.
But even when the waves are coming through, I hold on to your love.
Thank you, Jesus.

Quelques fois.

Do we have what it takes when hope and clarity melt away 
To rise above our mistakes
If we don’'t know any other way 
And we're just too scared to try
 

Sometimes there can be so much more beyond what we see 
Sometimes I'm amazed how we see the world in different ways 

Sometimes I'm afraid of what I might not get to say 
And we're just too scared to try 

 
When it feels like there is nothing left 
It feels like this is as good as it gets 
It feels that way sometimes
So let's take a second and catch our breath
And realize this isn't over yet 
It just feels that way sometimes.

Hope, keeps me going.
