Good job my stupid cough and headache in making me staying at home rotting and not being able to enjoy my last days in Beijing with my friends before we are off to our vacation plans. Good job, really. For the entire freaking week I have been struggling with the illnesses and I have to say that it is not a good idea to get sick in Beijing's winter because it is literally torturing me

A few days ago, a French friend of mine brought me to a French restaurant at Sanlitun. The place was so 'bien'(good in French). With the fact that customers being foreigners, waiters being able to converse in French and the French designs inside the restaurant, I actually thought that I was having my meal in France. The food was sumptuous too. I 'profite'(enjoy) it so much. However, the downside to it was that it wasn't wallet-friendly. By the way, je mappelle Quentin(my name is Quentin). Apparently, Quentin isn't pronounced as what you would normally think of. I guess it is far from it. It is actually pronounced as 'kong terng'. I got this French name from the same French friend whom I mentioned earlier. Merci!

It is not a good fact to know that some of my friends are leaving Beijing to begin their career-building journey in their hometown. And I am pretty sure that none of them wanna leave Beijing simply because BLCU is such an awesome place! I have come to realize that it is the place where you can have fun with your beloved friends, get to know people coming from all around the world, party literally almost every day, drink alcohol like there is no tomorrow, you know, some crazy and ridiculous things that you might not be able to do in your hometown. I have made some awesome friends here and they have taught me a lot - stuff that I would never learn in Singapore. BLCU just proves to be a place for everyone. I can see why everyone is saying they wanna come back here again.
