So, well I am into 5th day of work soon!
Day 1, I was disoriented!
Day 2, I was oriented and I met up with some people in the same "thing" as me! They come from all parts of the world, and speak damn good/fluent English, and I was like... Singlish all the way! haha.
Day 3 and Day 4, my job was to talk and interact with "people"!
Day 5, have tea with the "last person" and do a presentation on some "stuff". Next week, I will be moving to another office in that area, the downgraded from VERY high storey to medium storey, I guess i will miss the fantastic view of the sea from the pantry, as well as the jam biscuits.
So far so good! I have made new
friends/colleagues/acquaitance. Some of them are really nice to talk to! I cannot wait for what lies ahead, and I look forward to each day. Hopefully my energy will remain consistent for a long long time.
As for exercise, I have woke up at
5am twice to go for my mid distance run... and I am so proud of my discipline! :P But this was outweigh by a
heavyyyy beer/martini drinking session yesterday...
Tomorrow marks the last day of my stay in the office, so since i got many free gumgums, I will bring along my
collection of RS which I bought from Berlin.
OK! back to Paris day 10... after the
picnic outside lourve, surely we must eat
dinner right!?

so we took a ride along the river...
Notre Dame as seen from the ferry


Eiffel Tower loooks the BEST from the ferry!

the top viewing platform of the Eiffel Tower taken with my new cam (specially for this trip) -
48X zoom sia!
after the tiring day, the ferry ride, the endless shopping, we finally settled down in a restaurant recommended by a friend



Luckily, they have special English menu, but the english menu description does not help much!
but, we still managed to order some darn nice food. damn nice.
Sister's - she got a mixed platter. ranked 2nd out of 4.
Foie Gras is OMG nice!!!! damn nice. I love it, everyone loves it! The bacon is a tat too raw and oily of cos, the duck breast has a very tender and unique taste and texture!
Bro-in-law -
Steak, his steak is so much nicer than mine! ranked 3rd out of 4.
Mine -
Steak with Roquefort cheese. This has to be the last ranking dish amongst all, even though it is like many many times better than steaks i tried in SG!
GF's - This is the champion dish -
Turkey tagliatto - The turkey is sooooo soft and infused with flavours you cannot imagine! The pasta is very chewy and the whole dish just goes so well, every details, from the pasta to the lemon sauce to the turkey!
Lemon meringue piefollow by the BEST cake I had... this simple harmles looking pastry bought from a nearby bakery got me hooked!

chocolate and strawberry flavour. I don't know what are these called, but when someone (who is a health nut) can finish 2 in one go, you know that this stuff gotta be so so soooo nice. Layers and layers of cream/chocolate/strawberry/biscuits/cake/flakes/icing... its a french kueh lapis!
This is the best meal for the entire trip!
