just came back from Bristol. loved the place to bits! couldn't stop praising the city except for when they charged me £3.70 for a smirnoff ice in the club -.- thinking back, we didnt do much other than drinking and sleeping lah haha. michelle had friends over too who so happened to be sli suen and elicia, my classmates back in primary and college respectively :D

this was at Syndicate where Coco was performing. no other pictures coz my camera was conveniently left at michelle's all the time....not to mention that i carelessly left my itouch behind too :( guess i have to make a trip back to bristol some time soon to collect it? hehe
other than the fact that it's been really sunny for the past few days, the snow made an appearance for me today hehehhe. looking out the window on my way back to brum, it felt as though the endless fields of lawn have been given some magical touches with icing sugar sprinkled all around it :) wait, isn't it already april and it's still snowing?! o_O
oh noooo easter break is coming to an end!!!! back to reality again :((( it has been one heck of a holiday though! *big grin*

okay back to france trip :)
was at Arles for a couple of hours when we were on our way to and back from Saintes Maries de la Mer. luck was at our side as we happened to visit on the weekend they were having some grand festivity. everyone was out in the sun drinking beer, eating good food, watching street performances (one of it being the bull chase o_O), and avoiding walking into piles of horse dog and bull shit wtf.
some of the piccies -

old man in the sun :P


the ancient roman stadium :)
public toilet :P
and they had bull races on!

"Don't cross the street during the bull race."

we managed to see 2 bull races - one was more of like a bull chase, somewhat similar to the one shown at the beginning of Borat the movie. people were seen chasing the bull while it ran amok the streets...the second one was even lamer. as seen in the picture, a herd of horses will chase the bull to the end of the street when it's released from the truck, and then chase it back into the other end, and....that's it. i dunno whats the point of it lah damn fucking lame okay.

old man and i at some river :)

and proceeded to mcds to gamble (without money -.-)
