cold morning

ok i haven't been blogging everyday as i had hoped to. sporadic internet access from my hotel room and exhaustion after long days out sure saw to that. but let's leave those earlier posts for later. last day here; flying back tml early morn and should be reaching SG 28th morn. no plans for today; should be shopping till evening then nua-ing (yayy) all the way before an early night.

meals in paris, esp breakfast, would definitely be a big issue with me should i stay here for long. a set meal here (appetiser, pasta/pizza and dessert) costs about.. S$40? and its not the posh restaurant kind, more towards a cosy cafe one. i like eating whilst walking ard and being able to buy anything that catches my fancy w/o much consideration, but the exorbitant prices here prevent my doing so.

not that you can't get a decent meal at a decent price tho. one can check out the turkish restaurants which sell large sandwiches with meat (recall the vertically mounted meat skewers at NUS bazaars); the portions are humongous, the fries (carbos!) aplenty and it only costs ard S$15. alternatively if u're really on a shoestring budget, you can get veggies, ham and french loaves - make ur own sandwich!

today morning i went down from the hotel rm earlier than my parents, to take a 5 min walk to the nearby Mcdonald's to get my S$2 sausage mcmuffin to supplement the croissant and little bun with tea they serve at breakfast. i really can't take a total carbo-breakfast - need my meat and eggs!

deciding i din need a jacket for a short walk, i left the hotel in t-shirt & jeans. passerbys who were docked out in thick jackets, shawls and beanies stared at me, aghast. not that i wasn't (aghast) too, but it was at the temperature. around 3deg i figured. the day before it felt fine and it was ard 10deg. cold morning. haha. i also dunno what i'm writing le. sleepy.
