Albi albi albi.

Told David and Areff that i will be going over to albi to visit them when i come back from Barcelona. Since both of them came to Toulouse to hang out with me and all so i think it should be fair for me to go to their place and it turn out to be very nice.

Got the train ticket to Albi which coast me 11.70€ hop on the train, and the journey took around 1 hour. well i did not expect much in albi due that david has told me that its a country side and a very little population of people there but I'm fine with it, as long as i can hang out with my own people 'malaysian' after some time.

Arrived there at the station and there both of them are standing waiting for me. They took me around and the 1st place we went was the park, well the park is not very big nor beautiful but it is nice there, people with their dogs and kids playing and running. there is a small river there as well and there is when we saw the wild goose and a few wild ducks.

Not to say there is something interesting about the ducks and goose but we took a few picture of em due to David kinda fell in love with the duck and especially when it whack its tail XD while Areff saying that we should capture them and make foie gras out of them "the liver of a duck or a goose that has been specially fattened by gavage (force-feeding)" Yummy!

Next they took me to Cathedral St. Cecile, well honestly its the second church i have ever been in and it is not as good compered the 1st one i have been to 'Sagrada Familia'. Did not really spend a lot of time there because its almost closing time so we go off early then found our self at the back part of the church over viewing albi's river.

David then told me that he took millions of pictures of that river and yet he is still doing it that very moment. Imagine how beautiful it is. Well, sun is setting and so we walk back to their rental place called Foyer de Jeunes Travailleurs.

Foyer is something like a hostel for students trainees in albi, and yes most of them are french people, 2 malaysian 'david n areff' and one indian lady whom is from India (i think) and she is there doing her training as an english teacher in primary school in france. At least french people are learning more than one language.There were also, Ping pong table and french pool plus wifi access from 8 to 11 every night.

Was hungry so we went to this kebab stall just opposite foyer, and had the best kebab i ever have so far in my life. its big, full of meat, and not to mention the seasoning is just perfect. Now i understand why they like it there so much and its not really expensive at all, its just 4.50€

Time to sneak in to foyer... Sneak in?!?! 'well, basically the room is paid by their chef for the both of them only and i on the other hand do not want to stay in a hotel or it will coast me a boom so i have to crash over at their place for 2 nights'

Got in safely, no one saw me yeah.. spend the rest of the night talking about back home, our life back there and out training. that night i did not really get a good night sleep but im not complaining, its ok for me.

woke up in the afternoon, areff went down to cook some pasta. ate it later on then we went to a near by cc. areff was chatting with his wife and david is chatting with his family, how nice. Me on the other hand, test out the new Dota version and friendster, no friends nor family was online at that time haiz sad.

Spent a few hours there then went to Casino 'hyper market' and bought some chips and a dozen bottles of beer back to drink later that night. ate kebab for dinner again but this time is with beer. started with 2 bottles of Regular Hoegaarden each then a bottle of Heniken. well; we got bored in the room and want to play ping pong or pool down there so we did..

David surf the net while me n areff played french pool ' the table is shorter, smaller, balls are smaller, holes are smaller'. ish, its not east to play at all. we stayed there till 11 and its closing time. Bad news for me, one of the management staff saw me and told david that visiting hours is only till 10. no choice but to walk out of foyer. Areff went back to the room while david went out with me,

Nah its not that cold out there, its only 5° or less at night, winds blowing and the best part is, me and david are only in a single t-shirt and jeans. I have no choice but to sneak back in their room for the night but the problem is the management staff is there. walked to the cc and stay there for an hour, david said that the staff will be gone by midnight and it might be safe to go back in.

So we waited till 12.30 and go back to foyer, david went in first to check if there is anyone around. he came out just a few minutes after and said there is no people in there. ok good so i can go in safely. But there is a surveillance camera. Shoot, fine if there is no people in there i will just walk in with my head down and leave the first thing in the morning.

It took me around 10 minutes to calm myself down and go in there and get to the room undecided alone where david has went in already to make it look like we are not together so its least spacious. Finaly got in their room safely and we all keep quiet with the lights off acting as if we were already asleep.

Areff finished his new box of cigarettes in that two hours after i was sent out, pity him worrying about me and all. seriously, what i have been through is really tough. sneaking in like that and all, well david and areff went to sleep due tomorrow is their working day and me there playing some childish game called medabots on davids laptop all night till sun rise.

Pack my stuff, and leave foyer. Lucky that day was a holiday and no one is working so i walk out like nobody's bussiness. david show me the way to the train station and off he went to work. Took the next train got back to toulouse and rest for the day due tomorrow is back to work!
