Mona

My passport may say I’m Malaysian but I am a global citizen, the result of a lifetime of globe-trotting. Though I have lived in and enjoyed many places, those closest to my heart are New York City where I discovered the adventurous life, and Kuala Lumpur where I learned to appreciate the adventure in life.

Whoever said “complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation” made perfect sense to me; I am one who is all or nothing, and a lover of many indulgences ( I think those who know me can vouch for that!)

——————————————————

Mon passeport me définit peut-être comme Malaisienne, mais je me suis plutôt une enfant du monde; le résultat d’une vie de globetrotteur. Après avoir vécu dans un grand nombre de pays, je me sens chez moi dans la Ville de New York, ou j’ai expérimentée l’aventure, et celle de Kuala Lumpur ou j’ai appris a apprécier l’aventure.

L’expression “l’abstinence complète est plus facile que la modération parfaite” me définit plutôt bien ; Je suis de nature entière, et aime profiter de tous les plaisirs que la vie peut offrir

Jacques

Je suis français du Nord, un Chtimi comme on dit.
Petit, tout le monde me disait adorable… je criais fort, riais très fort, et piquait des colères pour trois fois rien. En bref, un ange. J’ai eu une enfance calme et chaleureuse où je n’ai manque de rien. Ca m’a peut-être un peu “spoiled” comme dit Mona car j’ai une tendance a ne pas être des plus ranges.

Mon diplôme de l’ESC Lille en poche, je suis partit en Malaisie pour découvrir un peu d’Asie. Pas de grands plans en tête au début, juste une volonté de challenge et d’aventure Je pensai même enchaîner avec l’Amérique du Sud pour travailler mon espagnol; et puis j’ai rencontre Mona…

——————————————————

I am northern French, a “Chtimi” as we say.
Over my childhood, everybody though I was the cutest… I was shouting loudly, laughing even more loudly, and had my moods for nothing; to sum it up, an angel. I enjoyed a calm and privileged childhood. If you listen to Mona, it may even have “spoiled” me as I am not the tidiest…

After taking my A grades at Beaucamps-Ligny, where I met a good friend named Johan, I decided to study business. As a challenge I chose Lille – to stay close to my family and my friends – and accessory because the business school is a good one.

At the end of my studies, I took my bag and went to Malaysia to discover Asia. No big plans to start with, just a will to challenge myself and enjoy our time with Johan. I thought I would then go visit South America to improve my Spanish; but I met Mona…

    Mon tres cher ami,

    Je suis heureux de decouvrir votre blog/I’m so glad to discover your blog (4Remona)…I am flattered to be mentioned in your own presentation!
    What you didn’t know when flying to Asia is that you would, instead of doing “les 400 coups” with me, meet Remona and enter a serious relationship. I am delighted it happened, I guess that after 3 years, it would be hard to see you differently…Remona&Jacques, Jacques&Remona…Yay yay yay!

    This coming year is no joke because both of you guys will give me the opportunity to do “les 400 coups” on the occasion of your union/official union even though we all know that you are already united! Yup Yup, that’s going to be a hell of party!!!OUAIS OUAIS…

    Bisous a tous les deux…happy to inaugurate the space there!!!…lol

    Dear Friends,

    I wanted to wish you both Merry Christmas for you and your families. I had the pleasure to hang around with Mona a little the past days, it was fun, she destroyed me powerfully at pool!!!
    My dear friend Jacques, i can tell you that you guys would do a perfect team for pool…you’re already one in life!!

    I’m back to work today and i have to say…it’s a bit difficult…nevermind…have to go for it!

    I’m invited for dinner at Olivier’s tonight which helped me wake up this morning.

    Wishing you guys a great week (end of the week) and a good festive season.

    Bisousssssssssss
