Jeux d'enfants

The Big Ben! It's freezing here in London, but it's so great to be home, bathed and watching English shows on telly! Staying with Vanessa here in London on Garrick Street, which is really near Chinatown and Oxford Street (the best street for shopping!). Vanessa's a darling, and she's really so hardworking as well! She's studying law at UCL, works at a candy store, and also acts in a theatre play! Wow! Sigh, anyway...ahhhh I spent alot today - on shopping! Wished confessing it could bring some form of guilt relief...but seriously, I have to say that London is just so expensive! Bought a top from Topshop, a bag from H&M, and formal pants from Dorothy Perkins! Bought a prom night bag for my dear sister too, from Marks and Spencer! Hope she'll like it though; but just don't tell her yet - it's supposed to be a surprise! Went to Madame Tussauds too, and visited Sherlock Holmes's house on Baker Street! He's been my fave author when I was young! Anyway, it's really a great feeling being back in an English speaking community and being able to communicate with people around! Gonna so miss London when I go back to Paris though.

- Oh, and if you're guessing that I'm missing school again, I'm NOT!! Laughs. It's my first term break this whole week, and we're gonna stay a week in London, before (skipping sch for a week) to go to Edinburgh on Sat, Glasgow after, and finally to Dublin! Oh, btw my spore line's (starting with 966) not really working in some areas, so msg me on my french line (+33683577850) if u need to reach me yeah! And....thanks for all the sms-es too; really appreciate them coz I miss home alot; though most times I try hard not to show it. So thanks!

- Ohhhhhhh! I've written all my postcards on Valentine's Day and posted all of them (all except sam's - hang on k!) So 8 lucky ones will be receiving them soon! wink.

- OhhhhHHhh x3! Laughs. Guess what? I'll finally be able to visit Word of Life church in Stockholm sometime in May! Joseph who previously came to SMU for exchange is back in Uppsala now, and he happened to be from Livet Ords! Elvis just visited him a few weeks back too, and he's probably back in Tel Aviv, Israel now! Gosh, he definately has the most exotic exchange ever yeah! Anyway, so excited to go to Stockholm, coz I haven't been able to attend church in Paris. Wrote to Gab that I've attended a mass once at Notre Dame - but it was really different there, with music from the organ resounding all around the church and its beautiful glass windows. It brought a wave of peace and serenity, as I stood there, listening to the choir sing out the verses from the bible. It was kind of a heavenly feeling...something very different from anything I've experienced before, so guess I can't aptly describe it. It's just simply awesome.

Okkies gotta run now...really hope I can sit down one day and blog all that I am feeling though! And hope that you all are missing me as much as I am missing you! : )

hugs and kisses from sotz!
