That clinches it!

I'm a fan! I believe that I have already posted a few videos of The Feeling, and here's a new song: I Thought It Was Over



I especially like the beginning. ;)

Malaysian fast food

Okay, I'm tired of this. I tried to upload the photo but couldn't. I don't know whether it's my connection or that the photo is simply too big. Anyway, here's what I wanted to share:

It's from this blog.

I wish the French had this kind of system. It would be so great to be able to try a whole lot of different French dishes at a time... each time we go to a restaurant we have to just choose one dish. And we can't go there ten times to try ten dishes, can we? :/
(okay, so ten is exaggerated... :P )

Will be going to Prague during the holidays. Stay tuned for photos ;)

Empty lecture hall

There are 108 people in my batch. But guess how many people came to today’s lecture? 28. That’s a quarter of us, which means one group (we’re divided into 4 groups for tutorials) All that because there’s a report to hand up tomorrow.

(and don't think that there were a little more than a quarter of us; there are exchange students with us who aren't in the 108!)

Of hypocrisy

So...(fluff)Friends again.

Earlier, this application told us to send invites only to friends who would really be interested in adopting a pet (in this case, a fluffy friend) They even charged us 5 munny (their currency) to send an invite, and we'd receive 30 munny if that person adopts a fluff-friend. They said it was to discourage us from sending invited to everyone we know. Admirable, huh?

But guess what? Now they've decided to give us 2 munny for inviting a friend, and then if that friend accepts, we'd receive 5 munny. And what's more, there are bonus gifts (mini fluff-friends) when we invite 15 friends, 30 friends, ... What better way to make us start sending invites to every single person we know?

Well, so I guess I'm a little sore about this. Especially that there were a few limited edition mini-fluffs that were pretty cute. I don't care about the other mini-fluffs since we can buy them ourselves, and since I stopped gambling too much on fluff-races, I'm not broke (hahaha) and I can buy quite a lot of things.

Oh well, whatever. I'm not gonna start spamming my friends for this hypocrite of an application. I'd even leave it if I didn't love my Squirrle so much :P

Anyway for those who read French, here's something for you: Fumer des tomates?

World's highest tennis court

Do you know where is the world's highest tennis court? It's in Dubai! Here's a video of Roger Federer and Andre Agassi playing (for fun, not a match) there. (okay, maybe not exactly for fun...I suppose they were invited ;) )

Run

This is Run by Snow Patrol.
I didn’t find this song special at first, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it. But I wonder...is it about that motorcycle??
Whatever. Enjoy!

Spanish people are like us!

So it is cultural...

In my Spanish class yesterday, my teacher talked about how in Spain they would say hi to someone if they were in "something" together. And that's what I meant! And she said that the French don't do that... so I guess that answers my question...in a way. It still doesn't explain people who are friendly one minute and complete strangers the next.

Anyway, here's just something that amused me, it was in an INSA newsletter. There is a student association in INSA that "takes care" of student welfare, and here they are reporting on the washing machines in the different hostels in INSA. Bâtiment means building, or in this case, block. And what I found funny was that they spelt it correctly the first 3 lines, but not in the last three! (and another weird thing is that Firefox tells me that "spelt" doesn't exist :/ )

Bâtiment A/B : c'est parfait
Bâtiment G/J : Un lave-linge qui marche, on attend des devis pour les deux autres, il y en aura surement un à changer.
Bâtiment H : les deux lave-linge marchent, le sèche-linge a toujours son problème de porte mais la réparation va bientot arriver et il marche couci couça en attendant.
Batiement E : Un lave-linge qui marche, l'autre lave-linge et le sèche-linge sont à racheter, ça arrive ...
Bâtiement I : c'est parfait
Bâtiement F : les deux lave-linges marchent, le sèche linge est en cours de rachat.
(yeah, there are a lot of hostel blocks in INSA)

And these few days the temperature was around 10°C...it even went up to 14°C! So hopefully it'll be that high tomorrow! (tennis , remember? ;) )

Amy Macdonald

Lately, I'm hearing this song called This Is The Life very often. And when I searched for the video, I stumbled upon a gold mine: Amy Macdonald. I had already heard all these songs before, but never took much notice. They're all really nice songs, so here you go!

This Is The Life
It's a short clip (I couldn't find the whole video), if you want to hear the whole song you can see this video. The "video" is actually just a picture of Amy Macdonald, and there are two songs (I don't know what the 2nd one is)


Then there is L.A. which is supposedly about Jake Gyllenhaal...


Mr. Rock & Roll


Poison Prince, her first single

Repas de classe

One of my classmates decided to organise a class dinner. It wasn't very easy to get replies from everyone saying who was interested, but we finally managed it yesterday (Thursday). There are 26 of us, and 14 of us ended up going, plus 2 exchange students who join our class for certain subjects. Not that great...I think there were more people who came for our class dinner in my first year.

So, you can guess it, photos coming up!

far left, the organiser ;)

1st, 2nd and 3rd

I'm talking about the prizes for Lyon's table-tennis competitions. For those who don't know about it, I have been in a table-tennis association in INSA since last year, and we play in competitions several times during the year. Last week we played doubles. There were only two teams of girls (and both from INSA) and my team came in first. So we got a medal and a t-shirt each (better than the last t-shirt) Then this week we played singles. There were only three girls, two from INSA. I came in second, after the girl from another uni. (This year I am "generally" better than the other unranked girls from INSA) So I got a mini-flashlight. The girl who came in first got the exact same things I got last week, so the loss didn't hurt so much (it was a pretty close game)

And what about 3rd? Well, I came in 3rd once last year, and I got a mini-pen (they love mini stuff :P) And the prizes haven't changed at all, so I now have the whole array of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes. Here are photos:

the medal (it isn't very big, I told you they liked mini-stuff)

the back of the medal (champion d'académie 2008)

the top left corner of the t-shirt, where you usually have the pocket for collared t-shirts (it's the only thing printed on the t-shirt) On yeah, and this isn't mini, it's L-sized!

2nd prize: mini-flashlight (they gave an AAA battery as well)

3rd prize: mini-pen (it just ran out of ink recently)
