I went to Pizza Hut at Caudan so many times this hols that the mere thought of pizza makes me feel a bit queasy now. That’s why I don’t have any pics of pizza in this entry.
Pics taken last Sunday evening:
I always take pics of Pizza Hut from the front so I opted for a different angle this time.

Pics with my 2 little sisters as well as with Jae and KeNnY.
The pic with KeNnY was taken outside Pizza Hut but on the same day… Should have used flash. It’s my only pic with him.
We were walking around in Caudan the week before, looking for gifts, sitting at Sunset Café & Café Cabane and coughing ( both sick)… but didn’t take any pics together because there was no one to take our pic. He’s back to UK now.
Jae, my sisters and I took loads of pics at Pizza Hut.

Some pics of food:

I went to Pizza Hut again today with a few high school friends this time; Sabrina, Puckie (or Puck. It’s a nickname. Puck is a character in Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. ) and Milly.
I’m no longer sick now. This explains why I was in a pic-taking mood today. I took the antibiotics and cough medicine for a few days only and I’m feeling alright now. Why didn’t I go to see the doc sooner??pffff .
Anyway we talked a bit about the good old QEC (Queen Elizabeth College) days and teased each other about who’s going to get married first. We all say that we are too young now, still have loads to do in life and that maybe in 5 years+ …
We took a few pics inside Pizza Hut and also outside, near the Blue Penny Museum in Caudan.

In Pizza Hut,

I had a great time at Keg yesterday. It’s not everyday that my friend Kevin invites me to dinner. My first thought was “No thanks, don’t pay for me” but he insisted and well, he is working now. So I don’t feel that bad about it. He is a great guy who helped me with Maths in my last year in high school. I was going through a rough time & didn’t feel like studying anymore (I had missed many classes at school) but he encouraged me and taught me Statistics 1 & 2 a few months before the final exams. Those few months were pretty stressful and even if he didn’t manage to make me like Maths again ( I used to love Maths in my lower classes) , he helped me a lot and I was pretty satisfied with my results. He told me that I’ve changed a lot since last year; my way of talking, not so ‘childish’ , etc. I never realised it. Anyway, I was told that I’ve matured into a beautiful young lady. *the last part nearly had me choking on my drink* *grins*
Saan , Francis and Sergio were also there. Saan was in my ballet & Chinese dance class. I was so glad to see her again. We had a lovely dinner, tried the new beer which they were giving out free (the name is Black Eagle or something… I didn’t like it. I don’t like beer) , joked around and tried to hear each other talk over the loud music and singing. The singing was good. Those people sure are talented.

Pic of two of the singers:

Sergio left us for a while to go somewhere with some of his friends and the rest of us stayed at Keg, taking pics and sipping our drinks. I had a Pina Colada. It’s very light and reminds me of milkshake. I love it.

Then came the “This song is for Aline from Shanghai… she’s studying there and is on hols in Mauritius… ” (the singer said something like that in French). Turned out that Kevin requested a song for me. All grins and laughter at my table. I think I might have blushed too. I was a bit embarrassed. OMG. The people sitting near our table, including many tourists, all looked at me. Those sitting further away were craning their neck and trying to see who this “Aline from Shanghai ” is. The singer had made it sound like I’m originally from Shanghai, i.e, he made it sound like I’m Shanghainese. He sang “Eternity” by Robbie Williams for me and finished with a “Ni hao, this song was for Aline from Shanghai.” More laughter at my table and people looking at me again. I could have died.

Saan, Kevin, Francis and me at Keg :

This mountain seems to be quite popular among us, Mauritian bloggers.
James and Carine both have blog entries and pics concerning this particular mountain. They both live(or used to.. ) near the mountain.

I used to live quite near that mountain, around 5 mins from the foot of the mountain, near the Harbour View apartments.

In 2003 and early 2004 , I used to go to Mt des Signaux almost every Sunday or on Saturdays too after a long day at LAN cyber café. My LAN pals used to go with me. Sometimes, I managed to convince other friends too. So many memories there… My friends tried rollerblading up there and well, going up was okay but going down… too dangerous too attempt. At that time, I was like ‘one of the guys’, always wearing jeans, often the only gal in that group of guys; my ‘bodyguards’. hehe
I liked to go up there to think. I always felt better afterwards.
Then I moved to my other house and stopped going. It sure felt great going there again.

According to virtual tourist ,

The mountain “des Signaux”was named thus because it was once the watchtower assigned to announce the arrival of the boats (of which La Malle Française - the French Trunk - the maritime carrying trade ship). Tradition preserved, since the summit of this mountain is filled with the antennas of communications of the telephone company and with facilities of radars.

What Port Louis (city, northwestern Mauritius, capital of the country.. More info about Port Louis here) looks like from Mt des Signaux :
The buildings look so tiny.
