i've never seen so many chinese people in paris

After a few months of being terribly busy and spending really long hours at work including eating into evening and weekends, I'm now finally on holiday for a week with the little monkey and the big monkey.

Also I've had the chance to watch a bit of daytime teevee. The French Open is on! Nadal has been knocked out by Soderling! Gasp, shock, horror! or issit Go Federer! After that exciting match, I watched a bit of Sharapova vs Li Na while preparing the dinner. Li Na threw away the third set IMHO, after winning the second set 6-0. But Sharapova is a true fighter, even when she is not playing that well, she still really really really wants to win. Only 22 yrs old already a multi millionaire -i feel like quickly signing the little monkey up to the tennis club!

The camera panned over the spectators and it seemed like every single person there was chinese. Fortunately didn't chop my thumb off, what with Sharapova's acute shrieking and the Ah Beng-ness of Li Na's poor husband :)

Hoper-fully will be about a little more this week than I have been later-ly, and will update with photos of where we get to when they are ready. if you are out in the summer sunshine, don't forget to wear a hat/ shades/ shirt and your sunblock, and always bring a sweater cos the evenings turn quite cold once the sun has gone down (sunset isn't until 10pm - tee hee! where's me bar-b-q?)

In the meantime, hello from Goatville to all your very own Ah Bengs, Ah Lians and Ah Mois in the bloggyspiar!
