Last Exciting Moments in France

As we speak, (oops I mean as I type) I am eating from a bucket of Haagen Daz. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgen Daz. Yes! Yes! Be envious of me for I am in France!

Anyway, it's like about 12am when it happened. I decided to try out the LED Copter thingy I bought when we were in Paris. It works like a slingshot. Pull back, release and it shoots upwards. The Blue LED on it reflects onto the 2 fluorescent strip of plastic then rotates when it starts coming downwards and so it looks pretty cool.

My sister and I went outside to find some open space (which wasn't much) to have a shot at it. Mum tagged along with us to have a look-see. Took us a few minutes to actually get it right and when I DID get it right, I accidentally shot it over the fence into our neighbour's yard...

LIKE WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT HAPPENING. Lol actually we all had a feeling that it would end up somewhere. There wasn't really much space outside.

We went around to the front of his yard hoping that there wasn't gate. Unfortunately there was one. An iron gate just below chest height with some green light and and some sort of mini camera inside the pillar next to the gate. I was pretty sure it was an intercom system to communicate with the house since it the house was quite a distance away from the gate itself. Oh did I mention it was pitch dark as well so we couldn't tell if they had some guard dog or not. (The dogs here are HUGE. Like MASSIVE What do they feed them man?!) As I debated with my sis the best way to scale the gate and back, I could hear my mum's worried words.

"Don't lah. Tomorrow morning then come and take. What if got alarm?"

Me: "Nah it's just some intercom system. Eh but what's that yellow alarm signal thingy on top?"

Sis: "No lah, it only lights up when the gates open. It's automatic right?" She takes a look, "Oh it's not."

Me: "Confirm anot!?"

Mum: "Nick, Joy! Don't get Daddy in trouble. Later we get sent back."

It was as if my mother wasn't there at all as my sis and I stood there still thinking of a solution.

"Eureka! We need a chair!"

I think we spent at least 15mins figuring out how to best retrieve the damn thing with my mum fluttering around with disapproving glances and remarks . (Oh why did it have to fly over?) In the end we scrapped the chair idea cause getting over was easy but coming back WITH the chair was hard and we climbed over from the side of the fence since there was some foothold there and we didn't have to worry about some high tech laser defence system guarding the front of the yard. I nimbly jumped over the fence, got the damn shit copter, threw it over and with ninja like agility, I scaled back.

I held up the damn copter and thought to myself, "Wow, now THIS means something now."

Guess my mum was in for something more than she asked for.





MUAHAHAHA.

What I have To live with

This is what I have to live with!



Ahh her iPhone vs my Nokia vintage. Welfare... Welfare.

WATCH THIS. FREAKING HILARIOUS.

Be Water

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

Revival

Woahhhh I'm back!

Okay I just realised there was a mistake in the last post. It shouldn't be 15th June that I'll be back from Taiwan. Should have been 15th May.

LOL.

So I guess I should still be in Taiwan now huh.

It's 2 am in camp and I'm still up. First time I'm unable to get to sleep in camp. Wonder what's wrong. Anyways, I'm pretty pumped up about France! Woo woo. Been replaying it in my head how I'll react when I see my family again. Would it be awkward? Since I've not been around them for so long, but the again, they're family, I shouldn't feel so awkward! So dad has the whole itenary planned out for me when I get there. (Thanks a lot old man!) Sweet stuff, but on the down side, I don't get to really see how my family spends their normal day in France. So that's sort of a bummer. Hope I'll still be able to go over next year for a longer period!

*Chants* O-R-D, O-R-D.

I'll be getting there by myself though, so that's another first for me! Heard quite a few stories from mum about pickpockets in France. That's quite scary, even mother and child would team up to get ya. I better keep my bag close to me. So far, according to mum, they've lost:

• 3 mobile phones
• 1 camcorder
• Dad's wallet
• 250 euros

to theft. Isn't that SCARY. I better be alert and keep my guard up. So far I've been laying my things around in camp believing everybody to be honest. (Well, everyone should aim to be an honest person right? Apparently NO, since I lost my iPod classic in camp.)

I just realised that I've been very ignorant of my future education. I know NUTS about courses and school and universities compared to the people I know. And that frightens me a bit. Not really a bit, it's more than a bit. Like a lot. I'm starting to appreciate my dad for laying out a path already for me based on what I've told him.

And I really shouldn't be letting him do that.

It's about time that I get up and do something about it. It IS my life! Yea! My parents are even more worried than I am. Gosh I feel really guilty. Before I ORD, I better have something planned out, if not I should just go hang myself huh.

Alright, it's half past 2 in the morning, I think I better get some shuteye even though today's book out day. Don't wanna walk around camp like a zombie. A very good morning to you people!

Remember! Carpe Diem!

It's your life you're living!
