Day 2- 9th December 2011, Paris (Day 1)

*Charles De Gaulle Aeroport*
Fuck. Only one word I can say that suits the situation we're in again -______-
WTH LAH!! Slow baggage delivery caused us to miss our flight!! We could have freaking made it!!!!!! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!! DAMN SHIT LAH!! The airport management didn't make it any easier when it was partially their fault we missed the flight because they were in charge of baggage delivery!!! And its not like letting us bring an extra carry-on bag would kill!! They're both cabin size & according to mom the flight isn't even full!! But nnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo, they didn't even try to understand our situation or do something to help!! NO MEANS NO, CLOSED MEANS CLOSED, & MISSED MEAN MISSED. Not even the courtesy to give us ticekts for the next flight without extra charge. Now we end up only flying out on the 11th!! W.T.F. =.=

-Good news: More time to see Paris
-Bad news: We have to spend money for lodgings & everything else can wrong....


*Vintage Hostel*
Quaint place & quite cozy, but we've got to wait until 4p.m. before we can check-in & its only 1:30p.m. now..... :/ Oh well, lets go out & see Paris then~~




*1st stop*
Sacré-Coeur Basilica~ Man, thats a mouthful to say but its a beautiful cathedral, huge too!! Stained glass windows & the giant mural on the ceiling dome is fantastic~~ Too bad the effing guard won't let me finish taking my pictures inside...so close!! =.=




Hot guy alert!! Tall, dark & handsome~ XP Plus he speaks very good English for a local, & by good I mean he doesn't have a very heavy French accent. Apparently he's majoring in English~ SWEET!!
That's a LARGE sausage!! o.O Delicious~!! Big enough for a meal too!! ^^



Yes! Its almost 4p.m.!! Time to see if we can check-in~~!!


*Hostel Room*
1st impression: Small but not cramp, makes it even warmer. We chucked our things inside, took a small break then headed out again. Next stop, here we come!!



*2nd stop*
Moulin Rouge~ Technically we walked through the red light district 1st to get there but whatever. Loads of sex shops & everything of the sort but hey, I guess some guys will get a good kick out of it!! LOL~~~ XP



*3rd stop*
The Eiffel Tower~~ Yeah!! Looks amazing at night with all the lights!! Pretty~~~~ :)
Damn. Super long queue! Aww man.....& I was so looking forward to seeing the view of Paris from the top!! >< F-U-D-G-E -______-



*Dinner*
Quartier Latin/Latin Quarter~ There so many restaurants here....which to choose & what to eat?
In the end we picked the wrong restaurant cuz we were tempted by the free drink we'd each get. The restaurant we ate at was Le Minotaure. Food was mediocre at best....bluek!! Should've picked a different one. On the plus side, the live entertainment there was superb~~ The 2 guys are seriously good!!





After dinner we headed back to the hostel because it was quite late. On the way, because mom stubbornly refused to listen to me we ended walking to an extra train station further up when we could have taken the train back from the previous station we saw. My feet are killing me!! Even my shins are hurting because of all the walking we did today!! Can't wait to get back to the hostel, take a shower & finally get some sleep!! My right ankle is definitely going to give me problems in the morning.....><


At long last I can finally climb into bed. What relief!! Got to wake up early tomorrow because breakfast is only until 9a.m.
"OH JOY"!!!

Day 1- 8th December 2011

'1st' day of vacation & we're practically 24 hours late!! Missed the flight cuz of a misunderstanding as to what -00:00a.m., 8th December- meant.... OTL MAN! Luckily managed to book another flight at 11:50p.m. on the same day.

Great way to kick off the holiday isn't it?

Hopefully we'll be able to make the next connecting flight & maybe even see a little bit of Paris~ I promised pictures & I will deliver them! By hook or by crook its either when I arrive on the 1st day or leaving on the last day of the trip, pictures must be taken of every place I'm going to!!

Making it to the airport is another issue because neither adult in the car can make up their mind as to which is the best way to get to KLIA Airport with least hassel but thankfully Xiao Yi did. We also have her to thank because she was the one who realized we had missed our flight otherwise.....there goes the holiday ><


*On the plane*
OMG....STERLOIN STEAK FOR SUPPER!! I think I've died & gone to heaven cuz its good~~ Xd
It almost makes up for all the hastle after missing the 1st flight, not to mention the inflight entertainment is....entertaining~~ XD

Should I have nasi lemak or a cheese omelette for breakfast? Since I'm gonna be in Europe for almost a month I may as well enjoy one last Malaysian meal so nasi lemak it is~!! I'll need the extra energy anyway cuz we'll have to run to make the next flight to Krakow >< Its like training for the Amazing Race..... ==

Finished watching 'Cowboys & Aliens' just in time before we land. TIME TO RACE AGAINST TIME!!
