  The end of a study period (or semester, in the old university-speak) is always accompanied by goodbyes and farewells.

  I feel fat at the moment after having a three-course dinner at Aerin’s in Raffles City with Yani and a long-lost friend from my university days.

As you know, I spent a week in Indonesia to spend time with my family after my four-week sojourn in Europe. When [...]

Mon meilleur ami (My Best Friend) is the second movie that I watched from the Alliance Française French Film Festival 2007. The story is about François (Daniel Auteuil, one of my favourite actor) who doesn’t have [...]
