Coffee Break

Ah, some of my leisurely pursuits listed in one place. Otherwise, things are getting harder and harder to keep track every day…

 

The Food Trail

Since my move to Paris, I started an eating project. Yup. You read it right. This is my favourite kind of challenge, hehehe. The Challenge: Resto A-Z

France is renowned for many varieties of cheeses from different regions of the country. I believe I could try a new variety each day and still would not be repeating any in the course of an entire year. I’m not going to go that crazy, but in 2012, I shall be working on Cheese-A-Week.

 

On the Joy of Printed Words

I love to read and always try to find time to do so. I had had fun with 50 Books Challenge of 2010, and decided to double up in 2011. In 2012, the target number was back at 50 books but with a twist – 15 has been set aside for reading French books. Rolling into 2013, I’m maintaing the count of 2012 and this time, French materials should be originally written in French.

The Big Read 2010 – Final tally: 55 books
The Big Read 2011 – Final tally: 107 books
The Big Read 2012 – Final tally: 47 EN + 15 FR books
The Big Read 2013 – May, week 1: 3 EN books

 

On the Big Screen

Going to the movies was a guilty pleasure I shared with my girl friends. However, between 2010 and 2011, I was nearly a movie recluse – I had little ideas of the latest releases as work took me to places and left me with little time to spare in 2-3 hours stretches. I took solace in books in this period of time. But 2012, new year and all, I’m back at the movies again!

The Film Affairs 2012 – Final tally: 55 movies
The Film Affairs 2013 – May, week 1: 19 movies

 

Other Random Things

We all have some sort of bucket list(s) somewhere. Mine have been scattered all over the place – it’s time to get them organised!

To kick it off, here’s my 101 goals in 1,001 days challenge tracker.
