mOst of the museums in Paris are closed on the day, included Musee du Lourve

this is an amazing place~

Chateau de Versailles~ it's a palace ! a very big and pretty palace~~

took a metro train to the town and changed to a RER train to the place~

damn lots of tourists on the train~ super crowded ! without air conditioner=> SWEAT like hell...

well, reached there at last =)

you can choose to take up a tour with guide or just explore it yourself^^

teen under 18 is FOC~ why am I so old??? =(

so, let's have a view at the amazing place^^

it's really very big~

btw, it's very sunny that day~ but still, with cold wind around~

at the Golden main gate~

took the chance to camwhore when lining up to buy tickets~

half of my face with half of the scenery~ XD

the buildings architectural is just too nice~

time to go in =)

one of the chapels~

corridor fulled with statues~

there are lots of paintings in there~

lots of French masterpieces~

Just love this one a lot~ cause the gal seems so pretty n alive^^

I wonder how they paint such a big painting~~~~ n how long it takes to finish it?

the great Hall of Mirrors

it's very pretty ! with mirrors on ur left, nice chandeliers on ur top, n super amazing ceiling paintings.....

one of the bedrooms~ queen's bedroom

dreamy n classic~ ^^

lots of things to explore in the palace~ it's really very big~

there's also a huge gardens out there~ beside it~

need an entrance fee to visit it~ so, I took pic from the palace~ =p

cause don't feel like wasting money to visit greeneries~

it's pretty too~

surely get sun burn if I walk at the garden =p

behind this garden, 2 more palaces there~

didn't go in cause u need to pay for it~ n there's transport to bring u there~

~ the compound of this entire place is super big~ kinda tiring if u wanna walk^^

so, it's time to say bye^^

took a picture with the statue of King Louis XIV~ yea~ his palace~

back to the Paris town~

visited Notre Dame de Paris~

a gothic masterpiece

this cathedral has very nice stained glass windows...

n the towers is also allowed for visit to admire the spire, great bells...

nice stained-glass right?

oh ya, I got a 3 scoops of Haagen-Dazs to made myself shiver~ lol

slurrp~~~ yummy~ it is slightly more expensive than buying it in Msia

this is what we had for lunch and dinner~ McD~ =)

cause my bro love their burgers so much ><

it costs about RM100 a meal for my family~

a nice view~

Hotel de Ville~ not sure if visitors are allowed to visit it cause it's ad very late when we are there~

random picture~

while crossing the bridge^^

simply walked around~~

passed by the train station dad came 20+ years ago~

(train station behind me)

n walked back to our hotel~ hehez~

cause we have decided not to take train~

it was drizzling....=) no more sunny~

it's already dark after our dinner and it's time to rest^^

night life at Paris = lots of bars around~~~~~~

kIwI =S

well, kinda busy recently~ till I don't have the time to update my blog~

so, worked for 3 days at TESCO near my house~

just took up that job in a sudden and thinking of trying something new and get some money~~~

it's about giving out samples....

base on my title of this post, guess you can guess what I did....

giving out Kiwi fruits samples.... =s

well~

Kiwi is one of my favorite fruit~ but during the 3 days of working, I didn't even eat a piece of it!

XD cause I think it's disgusting after facing it too much~~~~

this is the Kiwi fruits that I have cut and present it to customers~

praise me !!!!!

I never cut Kiwi at HOME....

and because of money, I did that.... I cut 100+ of Kiwi in 3 days.... PRAISE ME ! =p

a PRO now ~ LOL

a new experience~~~~

as the conclusion, I will not take up this job again~ kinda tiring cause I got to stand for 7 hours and smile to customers all the time~ XD

bye bye Kiwi~

gonna work !

went to bangsar n MV to catch a movie with the sis gang n Keong today =)

thanks a lot to Vicky for the ride~

updates later~

gotta work on tmr n this weekend....

it all happened in sudden, got to FFK F6 gang n Ice...SORRY !

hope the job goes well~ ><

I need $$$ !

1st day in de ciTy =)

Paris~ it's always my dream place since I was young~

have always thought that this will be my ideal honeymoon place with my future hubby XD

after years of dreaming...

Get the chance to explore this city at last, at 20 yrs old~

so, guess I gt to change my ideal honeymoon place? =p

Venice perhaps????

and so, the story begins after a 12 hours flight =)

damn tiring~ can't sleep well in the plane...

n the time at Paris with Msia has a difference of 6 hours...

so, it means when it's 12am at here, it's only 6pm at there... and I was still busy exploring the city =)

damn excited =p

camwhore in the RER train while it is heading from the CDG airport to the town centre =)

the train ticket cost 8.40Euro per person

met a good samaritan who can speak English and showed us way out from the largest train station in Europe~ thanks a lot to her~

btw, our hotel is located opposite the train station~

I booked this hotel on the net... it's not some sort of 5 stars hotel cause that ll cost rm9000 for my family... it's just a nice and simple hotel which is ok for a 4 nites stay^^

behind us, it's a tunnel towards the Metro(trains in the town)

love the public transport system in Paris~

they uses trains a lot~ it's damn convenient ^^

normally, when we travel in the town, Metro will do~

it cost 1.60 Euro per person no matter which station your r going =)

if u know me well~ u ll know this

whenever I travel with my family, we never join tours( other than China)

it's better to explore the place ourselves~ cheap and you will know the place better~

and I really love this idea ! =)

this time, the planner is ME =)

hahaz~~~~~ happy and excited larhz...

once I got the map from the airport, can't stop looking at it to figure out where to visit^^

the city is not that big~ you will not lost as long as you have a map~

the 1st place to explore^^

yea babe~ Arc de Triomphe

get down from the station : Charles de Gaulle Etoile

love this kind of old building a lot^^

they r just very amazing n nice =)

it must be very common for the people there since they are facing these kind of buildings every day~

there's a museum in it~ up here

that explains the long queue~

just took some pic with family and we headed towards another place

this picture is taken from Avenue Des Champs-Elysees

it's a very long street with a lot of people and a lot of branded shops along !!!!

it's my 1st time to visit a Europe country with so many tourist... it's scary... XD

well~ perhaps summer is near...that's why ppl love to travel~

Paris is really a city full with tourists =)

oh ya~ forgotten to mention the weather~ it's spring~~~~ N i THOUGHT it is cold.... =.=

the wind is cooling... but the it's damn sunny~ so, that explains why am I wearing so much even though it looks sunny^^

sun really kills me~almost melt... I hate it a lot.... it's burning my skin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ but the ppl there said : today is a good day!

proven~

they were enjoying sun tan while having lunch/coffee

there's some sort of plant exhibition at the street too~

lots of ppl were taking pic~

so, I was curious and went forward~ this is an example of what I saw~

I guess in Msia, there's too much of this, that's why I feel nothing special ^^

as I have mentioned~

LV~ if you are a fan of it~ you should visit it~

latest bag from the brand =)

and well~ I can't afford it duh~ so, just a pic will do^^

or else, interested in a brand where lots of Royalties love? eg, the late Princess Diana~

the price of one pair of earrings can make me suffocated XD

after walking through the street, there's a place with lots of stalls around~

it's damn crowded and fulled with people~

I wonder is this place always that crowded or is it because of the exhibition ?

there are ppl singing~ this is very nice^^

and I had my first meal at Paris~

baguette as lunch =) with some cheese in the middle~

well~ it cost a lot when u change it to our country's currency~

3.50Euro for one~

well~ I am a bread gal.... so, I love it! =p

ppl buying breads~~~~

seems super yummy to me but didn't buy la ><

the museum next to the crowded place~

didn't visit it either, cost 8 euro per person~~~~

then, reached the next destination at last =)

two museums opposite each other~

they are very huge and pretty museums....

Petit Palais

Grand Palais

the inner side from peeking through the window =p

didn't visit it either~

entrance fees to these kind of places are way too expensive if you wanna explore all of them~

hope I have the time and money to explore them one day^^

continued the walk~

Place de la Concorde

this thingy is in the middle where 2 fountains beside it^^

lovely fountain rite?

then, Medeleine Church =)

Very nice interior =)

lots of churches in Paris~~~

oh ya~

this is how their PUBLIC TOILET looks like XD

just found it cute and took a pic of it =p

they also have other kind of PT which is in the middle in the street... with a press on the button and u can go in~ only a person~ ^^

crossed the river to another side of the city~

it's pretty anyway^^

another museum =)

Musee d' Orsey

it's a very nice buliding too~

once again~ I didn't visit it either =(

well~ there are too many museums in Paris... it's impossible to visit all of them if you are only in Paris for a few days^^

one of the bridge~ which is kinda pretty^^

towards the Napoleon Palace =)

it closes at 5pm~

I was there at 4.45pm =p

oh ya~ see the ppl there???? enjoying sun tan while I kept on finding trees to hide myself from the sun exposure... ><

it's very big and huge and very pretty !

it's also a museum~

didn't pay to enter the exhibition part~

so, just had a walked in it where we don't have to pay^^

a closer look at how nice is the building~

every of it is different~

I wonder how the ancient ppl did these.... amazing rite?

at last !

the last place for the day =)

icon of the city~

saw it with my bare eyes at last^^

before we head towards it, went for dinner~

ended up at their little supermarket~

water selling in it is so much cheaper than we bought it at the tourist places of shops...

normally, a 500ml bottle of water is sell at 2euro=RM8+ =.= while coke, 3euro = RM12+

so, can u imagine how expensive it is? ><

so, my dinner was just simple, breads =)

well~ I am not enjoying my life there~ main purpose is to explore the city~ vacation^^

I rather save up the money to eat nicely back in Msia^^

aha~ Eiffel Tower ! =)

walked towards it~

walked through it~

walked passed it~

damn long queue !!!! 2 of the entrance are closed....

left 2 entrance only~

so, was kinda lazy to get on the queue and don't feel like going up the tower either~

so, ended up, didn't get to the top~

went to the Palace de Chaillot which is opposite the tower

picture taken from the palace^^

I love the colour of the sky with some clouds by the tower^^

it's really pretty~

rested and took some picture from there~

the view of Effiel Tower from the palace is nice^^

ppl playing roller blades, flying plates....

some ppl having picnic at the grass~

sweet couple kissing~

I love this kind of scenery a lot =)

waited for the sky to turn dark till I wanna sleep d... ><

since it is near to summer~

Paris is bright from at around 5am till 10pm =.=

this is taken at 9.30pm~~~~~

was thinking deep in my heart : turn dark la plz.... I wanna go back to rest d....

you can take a cruise~ but I didn't join it~ must be expensive =p

the reason to wait till the sky turn dark~~~

because ~~~~~

I want to SEE this =)

how Effiel Tower looks at night after being lighted up =)

the moment I have been waiting came at last !

this was at 10pm~

awww~~~ LOVELY !!!! =)

end of the 1st day~

l'amour de moi =)
