Jardin a l'automne et l'hiver

Les memes arbres à l'automne avec les feuilles jaunes; maintenant, ils sont sans feuillage....

Jardin du Luxembourg

Went to Jardin du Luxembourg under temperature of 0°C, phewww... no fun! The cold air was attacking my whole respiratory system furiously.
Voilà l'hiver!! I am quite an energetic girl but I have to surrender to the winter.

风萧萧兮易水寒 —— 荆轲《易水歌》

there is a pond where I saw some guek guek...I was amazed that these ducks are not afraid of the cold water and I understood the meaning of a classic chinese poem 春江水暖鸭先知 -- 苏轼《惠崇〈春江晚景〉》 好诗！

Foie Gras (fatty liver)

Foie Gras.... such a fattening food during the festive season! And I spent almost half an hour to opên it! phew...... BUt the taste is..... heavenly!

New photo album

Since I like to take photos of sceneries, I created a nicer photo album for anyone who likes Paris. The link is just a click away at the hyperlink 'photos of Paris' in this page.
I saw a blog of a Dr which displays some medical conditions, it is very burkkkkk...... and I doubt if it is ethical to do so too.
Sharing photos is fun but also requires responsibilities.

My first winter

Ever since I was young I always dreamed to see snow.... well, there is no snow in Malaysia, okay.... so, how is it like when it snow? spectacular? romantic? I still can't imagine it.

Today, I am struggling with the winter, the very first one in my life.... oh how is it like when the temparature is 0 or -2°C?

I could sense that my body is suffering... when I breath in the cold air, my nose and sinuses are yelling in pain, muscles are working hard to generate heats and fingers get numb soon after the cotton gloves are removed....

Seems that my first winter doesn't go well as may people had reminded me before.... I didn't know it could be this tough. More so when it is raining, even my teeth are hitting by the cold.

And I see my friends from seasonal countries.... easy going and showing empathy of me a poor girl from tropical country who has never experienced the winter... I start to dream about the sunny islands in Malaysia.. how wonderful!

Endurance, perseverance .....

Joyeux Noel et bonne année 2007!!

We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas....... and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!

Hurray!!!!!!! 2007 is coming and may the new year be a rewarding and memorable one.
