all right that's all for now! Till the next time we meet, bonne chance et bon courage à tous! à bientôt!

Salut à tous,

Firstly, a BIG merci to all those who showed up for our film screening before the term break!  despite the minor hiccups we had, we are glad that alot of you enjoyed yourselves, and we certainly had fun too. 

Ok anyway, a rather exciting piece of news to lighten up your moods from all that school work. The 23rd Singapore French Film Festival is on its way! Kicks off this Saturday, 6th Oct, and will last till next Sunday,14th Oct. Now isn't that exciting? haha. Do look through the schedule, because some of the films really look enticing. ;)

More information can be found on the link below, on Alliance Française's website.  http://www.alliancefrancaise.org.sg/whats.html

Oui oui, c'est tous! Hopefully the films will provide the much needed breather for all of us.  Happy viewing and till the next time then!

à bientôt!

Hi all! I am so excited to tell you that we will be screening Jeux d'enfants this month for our screening of september!

 Talk about making a game out of love... or was that love out of a game? Cemented in the belief of a never-ending love, this love story takes a rather unexpected twist, turning this modern fairytale into a masterpiece.

Better than sex, better than love, better than life itself.

Are you game?

Central Library Theatrette

6.45 pm

There will be a small tea reception after the movie, therefore R.S.V.P (nus.francophile@gmail.com) is encouraged. Can you imagine preparing for 5 people, then having 20 people show up? As usual, bring along your friends, even those who are not learning French in NUS!(english subtitles available)

(official website:http://www.paramountvantage.com/loveme/index2.html)

Other than that, I was hoping to gather some help for this movie screening. Since it is the week before our mid-sem break, I am hoping to gather some helpers for this event. Please email me (private email address) at yrfaith@gmail.com if you are interested!

cap ou pas cap,

Faith

Hey guys, I am not even going to pretend I am funny today because I am tired, as most people should be at this time of the day.

Tomorrow's french table will take place at 2pm. Because the semester has pretty much started and we are all tired, dancing on tabletops is pretty much out of the question. You must call us or send us an SMS for this treasure hunt.

Yes, we are the treasure and you are the pirate. Just don't overrate yourself and start calling yourself Johnny Depp. The last time my friend did that, I punched him in the face and ended up in detention. True story.

So

FRENCH TABLE

ok! better go before I start ranting here. haha. look out for me and the 'La Table Française' sign tomorrow! no I won't be dancing on the chair yet but if alot of you come I might just dance for joy! ;) 

ok, buzz me at 9 090 1523 ( Chunyin )

do drop me a msg before that if you can so I'll know who to expect.  à demain!

The wealthy editor Pierre Brochant (Thierry Lhemitte) and his friends have a competition: every Wednesday, each one of them invites the dumbest jackass he can find for a dinner, where each one of the guests is invited to talk about himself as much as possible. Later, after the guests say goodbye, the group of friends makes fun and elects the more stupid and imbecile guest. Pierre invites François Pignon (Jacques Villeret), a man that works in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and makes "maquettes" to forget his beloved wife, who had went away with a friend of him two years ago, for the dinner. However, a tough pain in one vertebra of his spinal column does not allow Pierre to meet his friends for the game and he stays alone with solicitous, but clumsy and stupid François in his apartment. Every attempt of François helping Pierre goes wrong, becoming the night of Pierre a terrible nightmare. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

FAQS

Q: May I please bring a friend along?

A: Yes of course you may! The more the merrier. In the event that there aren't enough seats, the gentlemen will have to give up their seats for the ladies and sit on the floor. We are very polite, because it is a very french thing to do. Also because I am female and you will be giving up your seat for me if you are male.

Q: What if I don't learn french? May I still attend the screening?

A: Bien sur! Who knows, more of these events and we may just get you hooked onto the language. ;)

Q: Will there be another screening of this movie? I can't make it for this event.

A: No, there won't be another screening. But you can easily borrow the DVD from the school library for "view-in"s.

Hands up if you enjoyed the last french table!

I know I did. What more could we have asked for? An enthusiastic group, curious onlookers and a dancing Professeur. My hands are waving enthusiastically in the air!

SO! Tomorrow we resume our routine for La Table Francaise a Mecredi. Where we MIGHT have more games and definitely more time to talk. Theme for tomorrow?

What is so french about you?

Is it your dressing? The colour of your hair? The most treasured DVD in your collection? Your favourite french clip in Youtube.com? French book? A recipe? Or maybe a boy/girlfriend? Bring along pictures of your trip to France if you have any! And if you haven't seen Alex's pictures of France, drop by and have a look. We all saw awesome written all over it.

So, same time (6.30pm), same place (Arts Canteen, HOPEFULLY in front of the chinese cooked food stall)

I won't be standing on the chair anymore. Look out for a big sign on the table or buzz anyone of us! (If you decide to send a message, please leave your names...)

Salut! Je suis Faith et je voudrais parler en anglais parce-que je ne peux pas continuer en francais.

haha, that was random.

Hey guys! C'est moi! Faith! And I would like to remind you about French Table tomorrow evening (Friday, 17th August 2007) at 6.30pm in the Arts Canteen (The DECK). There, we will have our dinner, talk, get to know each other and have some ice-breaking games. Do come down and have some fun after an extremely tedious (haha) week 1!

How do you find us in our spanking new and big canteen? That is easy! Chunyin and I will be dancing on the stools like ballerinas and the others will be dancing to the Nutcracker Suite to the roles of THE OTHER TOYS.

Otherwise, should you need a more logical way to find us, simply give us a buzz at
