Just got back yesterday evening. and boy oh boy am i tired!! it rained when i stepped off from the train....but surprisingly..it stopped when we got off the tram to walk to the house.

paris was heaven :) i loved it there. the ppl are friendly...no encounter with any bang-sist ppl at all. the only sucky thing about our whole trip was the weather.

Day 1
It was around almost 8pm when we arrived in Gare Du Nord. It was raining...took the metro to go to our apartment. Had a bit of trouble searching for the street our apartment was in, but this elderly couple asked us if we needed help and showed us where the street should be..(kan baik kannn??) hehehe...so we found it (rupanya it was only 2 blocks away... -_-)

oh and guess what? our landlord? he is so panas. But a neat freak O_o. His apartment is SO well kept. Not a dust in sight!! love love love the place. although it was pretty small...it was cosy there :) we were all hungry... so we all decided to explore the streets around the apartment and scrouge around for food. and guess what?? banyak kadai halal. how awesome was that? we finally settled for this kebab place around the corner of our street. nice guys....we ended up getting to know em...although the conversation was excruciating..they know little english...and we know little french...so most of our conversations were just hand gestures and elaborate sounds. haha. palui lagi tu eh...the dudes were tryna convince durang sai,lei and beng hui to send us home and then join them for some disco! disco! hahaha talor!

Day 2
Woke up early. We all companied Sai to the Plaza Athenee. and holy moly...that place is awesome. sai is a lucky bizatch. i fell in love with the walking closet...fish with the bathroom. lets just say that those places are bloody huge...so u can imagine just how the bedroom would look like. then after that we walked from the hotel toooOoooo the louvre. GILA KAN?!?! hehe. but its good though...cause we wanted to look at all the sights. on the way there...we passed the golden bridge..the concorde...and les tuilleries. took pics of all the really pretty sights ofcourse. the louvre was effin huge...we had fun though...weren't really interested in some of the paintings and the sculptures...saw de venus de milo and the mona lisa...catu rupanya usulnya..pikir basar...it was just a tiny weeny painting. feh. after that we just walked around and we were actually searching for a japanese restaurant...but we came across this chinese restaurant instead...and left beng hui in charge with the whole interacting thing... bagus lah... inda nyasal si beng hui ikut..he met a veryyy kawaii girl working there. haha. talor...gatal anak ah. tapi kami bekata2...the food is DECEIVING!! we thought it was cheap..but it was all ikut measurements...and the bill ended up being 50+ euros?!??!! grr...stupid mee with all the taugehs. feh feh feh. marah si fish membaca ni.. haha.

Day 3
EURO DISNEY BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! was so psyched. smiling all throughout the entire journey there. ahhhh~ even the cold and windy weather didnt rattle me. had cotton candy...so taisliur...i wanna search for cotton candy di sheffield eh. siapa tau di mana bejual??? taisliur ku!! anyhooss...back to what i was saying..it felt like i stepped into a fairytale when i walked in. everything is so PRETTY!! and there was a huge pink castle. *sighhh* lawaaaa~

my favourite moments were during the parade. they played this one song "just like we dreamed it". It was especially created for it's 15th anniversary...it has that high school musical and disney cartoon songs kind of feel to it. it was beeeyooooteeeefoooool!! and then there was the studio tram tour at the walt disney studios...that one was awesome. they showed us the special physical effects. will put up the video of it soon. once i get hold of it from beng hui. they literally showed us the water rushing towards us from the mountain. gilaa! we shrieked!! hahahaha. the other one was the hollywood tower hotel. that one was effin freaky!! imagine being taken to an elevator...and havin it go down real real real fast. and then go back up again. then down..and up..and down all the way. berijab kan?? its like giant drop but over and over again. a must try ride if anyone is going there. two thumbs up! ull scare urself shitless there. hehehehe.

Oh...did i mention that we experienced three different weathers during the whole time we were there? at first it was cold...and windy..with a lil bit of sun...and then after that...it was raining lightly...and then it snowed...and then it rained heavily. but we persevered! yay! but we finally gave up when it was turning dark. the walk home was excruciating..we were all hungry...and freezing. and we decided to go to the japanese restaurant that was near our apartment. and guess what? it was MURAH and NYAMAN! darnnnn~ i love it there. i didnt have any of the sushi ofcourse...i dont believe in raw food. so i had the grilled salmon. yum~ that was heaven.

Day 4
went to the arc de triomphe first. it was effin huge. i didnt think it was gonna be that huge. then after that we just went souvenir shopping. came across SKECHERS while we were window shopping. i HAD to go in..been a skechers fan since...um....since forever!! so i looked around..and ada banyak lawa lawaaaa arah the new arrivals. and i know i need new shoes for spring, i cant keep wearing my boots during spring and summer kan kan? pasal my pink skechers sneakers are so BLUE sudah...talor wah. my jeans bleed..and its always raining here in sheffield...so u can imagine how buruk it makes my sneakers look. *sniff* so i needed new ones...didnt have enough money though...so i had to call my dad and minta permission to use the credit card. and my dad gave me the greenlight! hurray!! so i was really happy. wanted to wear it tarus...but my friends adviced me against it..pasal it was rainy season there right now...so i wouldnt want my new shoes to be stained. :P

after that we went to the eiffel tower!! it was such a looOOOng queue...and fish suggested that we take the stairs to go up. (yeah i know...kami deathwish) but how many ppl can say that they actually climbed the stairs to go to the top eh eh? we literally climbed the eiffel tower man!! tpi kami menyasal plang once we reached oh i dont know...230 ft? 300 ft sudah? haha. it was realy cold and windy...and we wanted to stay there sampai malam so we can see the tower light up...so we hung out arah the cafe. lawaaaaa the sights...so we took pics...checked out the scenery....and just chilled. and guess what?? we were lucky enough to watch when they actually switched on the flashing lights. so the tower was all blue and sparkly for roughly...ten minutes? then after that kana tutup balik and it was the biasa yellow lighting tia. took the metro home andddddd we had sushi again! hehe. nyaman *drool* (i had the grilled salmon again ofcourse - hehe)

Day 5
woke up feeling dreadful. we're going back to london today! boo! alex gave us our deposit back...and off we went to the train station. sampai arah brunei hall and it was panuh again. so we asked the dude at the receptionist if we could stay over at dijahs room. so we did. and we all memburuk the whole day the next day.

Day 6
liat dvd and more dvds. then we all decided to go out that night after dinner to search for scrabble. can u imagine we walked all the way from edgeware road to bond street just to look for scrabble??! talor wah kami ah. hehehe. but in the end we found one arah the big HMV arah bond st! hurray! jgn bali arah self ridges..talor mahal ah. they hike up the price so high my eyes bulged when i looked at the price tag. oh...and we stopped by arah chicken cottage before we headed to brunei hall. nyaman kali ah the bbq chicken!! yumyum.

Day 7
Dijah balik hari aniii! picked her up at paddington station. after that we just hung out and memburuk some more. had lunch at nandos...hung out arah whiteleys..i window shopped..durang lain..especially si fish brabis meny-opping. i would shop to fish..tpi bank ku punya balance tidak mengizinkan. hehehehe. remind me to buy loads and loads of books nanti. mental note to self. yupyup. then we got hungry again...and ate arah waffle house. nyamannn~ had waffles with icecream. then after that dijah wanted to have coffee arah starbucks...coz she needed coffee to wake her up from her jetlag..she wanted to have a normal sleeping pattern. but kesian tho..she slept early...around 10 something kali. so it was just me and fish yg liat cerita antu that nite. berijabbbbb~ but 1408 was good lah. john cusack. hes such a gooooodd actor. i would recommend ya'll to watch it :)

Day 8
woke up. packed. had lunch di bawah. the menu was soto with ayam. nyamannn~ i put a lot of chilli and soy sauce in it...so it was padas. i think ive got a weird taste...im into those pain-like tastes like wasabi and lada. heh heh. aku rindu makan pizza si rash now. *drool* train left for sheffield at 3 something.

oh oh..did i mention that im gettin clumsier by the minute? ive been gettin myself into lil accidents..banging myself against things lah.. oh...and i fell on my BUTT arah the stairs arah the apartment. ia punya tangga talor wah..it doesnt have a railing..and it was the spiral staircase..i was wearing my socks...so it was slippery. and i fell!! gah! my left side was throbbing and my left leg had a big cut. it wasnt deep though..baik jua si fish ada plaster yg basar. thanks babe!!

so now im looking forward tooOOoo....the bbq at havelock next week!! *drool* love bbq's during spring time. mudahannn inda ujan. and im really hoping that it wont be windy and cold.
