Bonjour!
Just sent out an e-mail to the PUNJers..." Hey folks!
I'm typing this from some internet cafe in Florence, Italy. Just thought I'd write back! Thanks for your prayers guys. Yeah some of you know that I was kinda down with the flu before flying off for London last Friday. It got quite bad when I got here, cos the weather in London is pretty cold and all. 10 degrees with the wind and the rain! Garr! But I got better by the 2nd day! Thank God!
In the past week, I've been by coach from London all the way down to Paris.We've seen the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc' de Triumphe and strolled down Champ d' Elysee, the major shopping district, which makes Orchard Road look bad man! Stayed in a Chateau (Mansion) in the wine region of Beajolais. We had this awesome picnic, where we strolled along the country side to this hill nicknamed the 'top of the world'. It was amazing man. Unobstructed view for miles, with all the vineyards in sight. Sitting on the hill top with friends and a nice glass of Beaujolais wine in hand is really bliss.
Also visited Monaco yesterday night. I've never seen so many Ferraris, Lamboghinis and Porsches crammed into such a small area before! I think Monaco is like the size of Ang Mo Kio + Bishan.Serious! Haha.
Just saw the leaning tower of Pisa today, and yes took some corny shots where you pretend you're holding up the tower. You just have to do it when you're there! I'll be in Florence for 2 days before heading off to Rome.
Sarah, I'll try to get your Birkenstocks from Munich, but at the rate I'm going, I could run out of cash before then. HAHA! Wah lau, I'm paying through my nose here! A bottle of Coke from your average convienience store for 2 Euro (or 4 Sing dollars)? !@#$!@$!$!!!!!
Ellie, the "Stand up speak up" wristbands are really short in demand here, and they only allow 2 per person! Will try to look out for them. I want one too. heh.
Take care guys. It's only been a week, but I could use a bowl of Bak Kut Teh from Balestier right now. Haha. Thinking of everyone, and looking forward to coming home, though not that soon. =)
God bless, and Au Revoir!

Just got word that they're gonna build 2 casinos eh? Well, guess we all saw it coming. I won 7 Euros playing slots in Monte Carlo while at Monaco by the way! Haha. Cheap thrill, yeah and uh, ya shouldn't gamble. But I just had to put in some coins into the machines and say I've played slots in Monaco! No intention of winning! Really!
