Back in Rouen

hello hello...
its been a while since i blogged!!! yes we're all back from wherever we all went and boy did i miss everyone of them!!! yes we took tons of photos while holidaying but over the last few days tt we were all back in Rouen, gradually i started to fall in love with the place all over again..

so this weekend we didn't go country-hopping.. instead we stayed in Rouen to enjoy the idyllic lifestyle here.. having crepes and galettes for lunch at Le Tarte Tatin on Saturday, then St Sever shopping and eating ice-cream..
On our way to Le Tarte Tatin!!

Our heroine of the day: She wore a tube out.. no jacket hor just a tube.. in this winter.. we shud haf videoed the public reaction.. it was hilarious!

Yummy!! The food!!

After lunch we headed down to St Sever... our biggest shopping centre here! woot... it was fun to haf no agenda at all for the day just wander around.. and wow it pays to wander.. cos we stumbled upon Yves Rocher's weekend sale! 50% discount off all items!! we all went a lil crazy in there.. facial masks for only 0.50 Euros.. how can... its an injustice to our wallets if we were to walk away from the sale..


Yves Rocher!! Sale of beauty products!!! yay-ness.. next i will just wait for the clinique products to go on sale den i'll attack.. murhahahah... haf decided to purchase clinique face moisturizer instead of neutrogena when my current one runs out.. :)


Having stocked up on moisturizers and masks, we wandered around somemore and decided to take a walk in their children's toy shop! It was so fun can.. haha.. we each took a photo with a soft toy and since i couldn't decide which was my fave.. i just took a photo w them all! haha i look so greedy hor.. ;) tho walking in the toy store updated me on the toys kids have access to these days.. its not just about barbie and transformers anymore.. toys have evolved... to replicate real life machines... like the microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, etc etc.. and we revisited our childhood 'masak masak' wahaha.. it was funny... and nostalgic in some ways..






Sunday was spent at the flea market at Place St Marc again!! The weather nowadays is absolutely delightful!! Sunny enough to warm your skin but yet still cooling enough that you don't perspire.. in Singlish terms: Damn SHIOK arh!

We saw strawberries at St Marc that were absolutely gorgeous: crimson red, bursting with juice. We just had to buy them even if they cost 6euros/kg. Haha.. the most expensive strawberries sold there at the flea market, yet it also had the longest queue so we deduced the strawberries must be damn sedap cos we ain't the only ones willing to fork out the extra money for them!!!

So CHIO u jus wan one rite!!!!



The man selling the pretty strawberries... he kept repeating this phrase that we didn't understand but it was so catchy I can just stand there all day and hear him say it whilst counting the number of times he said it... NOT.. haha..

Lovely bouquet of flowers that Ivy and Fang bought - 2 for 2euros.. i like them too... but don need to buy lah just go to fang's room can admire liao hahaha! anws they were pretty bouquets of happiness so we just had to take photos with them..

Of course we had to pose... with our strawberries too of course.. we bought a kilo of them delicious sweet beauties..

Intended to pack lunch to eat in the park, but we were too lazy to walk there so we just settled down to consume our sandwiches at the busstop while waiting for T1.. den when we alighted at our destination, we walked to the look-out point that wasn't far from our hostel... boy was it a sight to behold when we got there..utterly breath-taking... there was literally a carpet of yellow flowers dotting the lush green grass so we all got a little high and started photowhoring... aahhhh...




yes im afraid that's all the photos i have to share with you this time around.. now its back to the books in prepartion for my test.. i have not forgotten ok.. even tho the term is over.. the exams aren't.. so must study!!
