Lost in Paris.

this was from last night's trip around paris...

i spent the whole day today at the area around la chapelle... just walking and walking. from sacre-coeur i ended up at rue la Fayette... and that was about 40 minutes walking. it was okay though, i let myself get lost...

it's one am here. hmmm.

Night Adventure

hey everyone. i have a lot to say actually but i dont feel it now. last night i went out with an old friend. he's french. i finally got to see notre-dame at night! it's spectacular. and the pyramid at louvre is really stunning too!

will put in details when i have time. now it's time for my petit-dejeuner... ;)

Visions of Paris

my second day. and what did i do? sightseeing! i am not about to give too many details... just that, i finally learnt how to use the metro! it's so easy! and with that, i can go anywhere i want in paris. to some, it might not be a big deal but hey, this is only my second day! after that, i went on the red bus and went to most of the key places in paris, eiffel, hotel des invalides, louvre...to name a few.

went back to the hotel around 4pm to go online... video call is so cool. i love technology. AH! globalisation! ;p around 9.30pm, i went out again... just to stroll around champs-elysees. wanted to get something to eat as well... ah but it's the view that captured me tadi. i was just walking and walking you know? just... drinking in everything. the people. the view. everything. it was great...


tomorrow i am checking out but most probably staying with one of the secretaries of the embassy. still in paris, and still very close to everything...

something cool is gonna happen tomorrow as well!

C'est moi!

HELLO FROM PARIS!

yes folks. i made the journey. the excruciating long hours in the plane. the crappy food it served. i must say though, it was such a boring journey. it was so long.

the farewell moment at the airport in brunei was sad. i actually felt sad but i dont know. i didnt feel like crying. i knew myself, right from the start, that i wont cry. but i know id feel sad and i did. so many people came that night and none of them i expected... so really, thank you. thank you to those who came and made me feel that i actually mattered. =) i love you.

first stop was dubai. i didnt get the chance to take pictures (not that there was anything remotely interesting... except maybe the people who slept on the floor looking like refugees...) talked a bit with syee. oh and i bought a pair of shoes, reebok, cause i couldnt stand the shoes that i was using that time. so far, that is the only thing that i bought since i flew off. ;p

then i got to london. parted with the others and braved heathrow alone. went to terminal 5, alone. checked in, alone. everything, i did it myself and must i say, i was quite proud. HAHA. skadar kah tu? anyway 3 hours in heathrow passed so quickly, i nearly missed my flight! it was already the final call! i had to rush, took the transit line to the B gates and then i was boarding the plane to paris.

i slept all the way to paris. i didnt get the chance to see the view.

HAHA.

anyway, i was picked up by auntie fauziah at cdg (note: it's not gadong...) guess what peeps? my first lunch? it was a turkey dish! the taste is very foreign... mcm kebab but not really? hmm makes sense? anyway... story short, i am staying at radisson hotel, very close to embassy and the champs-elysees. it's awesome, really. a room all to myself in paris??? near champs-elysees? AHHHH!

so after registering myself in paris... i went strolling. not shopping. cause the money changers in paris just wont accept brunei dollars. it's actually REALLY annoying. but nevermind, i wasnt in the mood for shopping... (that's a lie. i was, but i just dont want to fall in the trap of falling for the first thing i see. smart!)


i am in love. again. and it really makes you feel alive, doesnt it?

you know i am missing you.

the departure day

hi!

it's my first post in my very own blog. i guess i wanted to have this one only to chronicle or rather highlights events that would be going on in my life in France for the next... few years. technically, i am supposed to be staying for like 4 years? but i am not so sure anymore. it's a bit too complicated to explain so i am just not going to!

anyway, i am leaving today! it is the 24th of august and my flight departs at 7.30pm! am i excited? anxious? nervous? well, i would definitely say that i feel heavy...about leaving. i just refuse to get all sentimental though.

it's a start of a new chapter.

*breathes in deeply*

although, i must say, i will miss a lot of people here... actually, scratch that. i am going to miss a few people. =p

these are only some of them...





ohhh. those pictures above are taken from the camera from my lappy. i got myself a new laptop~ it's the lizard skin sony vaio, silver (not pink...my cousin is getting that... heh heh and i am not a pink person i think...). it's such a cool laptop and i love it to bits!!! it has the same specs as a CR 353, but i upgraded my RAM to 3Gb... cause i love photoshop-ing. =p

i think... i actually have 35kg of baggage allowance after all! but i only packed for 20kg. simple reason... i thought that i was only given 20 from heathrow to charles de gaulle!

nyeh.

i will miss this little baby. =)

bah, wish me a safe flight and hopefully my luggage bag IS 35 kg. cause i so want to pack more things.....
