Football Section Cup (Feb 24th)

A little bit of background information on this one... INSEAD's December intake is currently divided into 4 sections: E6, E7, E8 and E9. The football club organized a little competition this Saturday between the different sections. My section, E8, played E6 in one of the semi-finals and we managed to win the tight game 1-0...


We then went on to play the powerful section E7 winners 3-2 over E9... E7 took the lead 1-0 then again 2-1 but we managed to tie them after regular time and overtime... We went on to penalty kick: no one was scoring on the kicks until the 4th shoot were we scored and they didn't... When I managed to block their last shoot, championship was ours!!! Some great fun in spite of the rain!!! A HUGE thanks to the guys from the July intake that gave us a hand because we were missing a couple of players!!!

Chinese New Year's Eve (Feb 17th)

I forgot to bring my camera to the party but I managed to find one picture of the group from Shangri-La that did go... Bonnie's friend Trina (next to Ian) came from London and they both cooked a fantastic Chinese meal the day before (Friday)... My friend Laurent, visiting from Montreal, is the one taking the picture...


And now, the party! Of course, since it was Chinese New Year, we had to GAMBLE... Poker found its way in the middle of the traditional Chinese games...

Happy New Year!!!


I'm sure that the INSEAD guests (my friend from Montreal and Bonnie's friend from London) were talking about their impressions of the student body... Laurent is a bit red... Did you like the wine my friend? :o)


All in all, very cool/fun party!

Brazilian Carnival (Feb 16th)

All the house went and we were the Brazilian soccer team from the 70's... with their cheerleaders!


The stars: Gopinho, Felipao, Ronaldian, Ze Armando and Carlos-Albertano...


Decor for this party was amazing! 20 people worked hard all week and it showed... Most people came disguised and the evening was quite colorful...

Visite chez Suzon et Victor (Feb 11th)

On Sunday I went to Paris for a short visit to my aunt and uncle... They are convinced that I don't do any work at INSEAD... lol

Jungle Party (Feb 10th)

Another "wild" night... Notice that I could afford to wear shorts and sandals in the middle of the winter... I don't miss Montreal's winter that much!!! On both sides of the group we have Armando's cousin and friend visiting from Mallorca!!!

Pimps and Whores Party (Feb 9th)

As you can see on the pictures, I enjoyed the company of the cutest man-whores out there... Do you recognize the "leaders of tomorrow"? :-)

Cholesterol Wednesday (Feb 7th)

The title speaks for itself... This was one of the usual dinner parties that are held every Wednesday at the house but the menu was a little more fancy than usual... Menu was foie gras to start, magret with raspberries coulis and chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert... A DELIGHT!!!
