The post that everyone wanted so badly

Okay, so after much negotiation with the lecturers (which btw, wasn't easy) I jetted off to Paris on the 2nd of October with my so-called compact laptop, because I had to finish my assignments there. Boo... How sad :( Well, I did most of them here except for management which required a little more time because it was an essay that nobody in this world would like to read :P

Anyways, enough of that. Went to the airport via taxi and then reached around 8.00 pm. Had nearly four hours of freedom :) Haha... not exactly lar... after the check-in and eating, drinking, going to the loo and all that.

Then, finally, at 11.35pm we were in the plane. I was as usual, excited :) 15 minutes later, the pilot announced that there was something wrong with the hydraulic???

So I thought: Aiyo... Zzzzzz... So boring.

Took off past midnight. You know the thing about long flights right??? It was gonna be a long 12hrs and 50 mins. Wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep.

Right... after much forcing myself to catch some sleep, eating, being bugged by the air stewardesses and watching Dreamgirls besides going to the lavatory for 5 times,

the pilot finally said:
Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, kita telah tiba di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Paris, Charles de Gaulle. Waktu tempatan ialah jam 8 pagi.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at Paris International Airport. The local time is now 8 am

Then there was the translation in French :)

Oh btw there were two young chaps sitting right in front of us. They are sooooooo good-looking, man. :) :D :P

:) Well, when we reached the hotel it was already 9plus in the morning. It wasn't far from Arc de Triomphe :D

So our first destination was Louvre Museum or Musee de Louvre :)
This is Mona Lisa :) Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece.

Mona Lisa must be wondering: You all love me too much :p

Me with my dad aka King Kong.LOL.
With my forever contemplative mum :P

Outside the Louvre
Us eating at a cafe.

After all that, it was pretty late. Had dinner at a pathetic restaurant. Service was bad. I got the chance to use French here because the manager didn't understand WHY I wasn't ordering anything. I had to lie that I couldn't eat. LOL. Truth is, I don't fancy BIG portions and loved the idea of SHARING :) Practically everyone knows how much i eat. Am I right,Azree ??? :D Sarah would've probably whacked the scallops if she was w/ me :)

My dad being the smart alec wanted to sit outside not knowing that the temperature outside was 9 degrees. Well, slightly higher than Italy but still... WE WERE LITERALLY FREEZING. Gloves did not help. I was already wearing 3 layers plus the jacket... so 4!!! Gah... wrong decision to sit outside.

When the drinks came (tea) I actually gulped down the whole cup in one go. LOL. Couldn't stand the gushing wind. If not for the wind, it wouldn't be that bad.

In the end we searched for warmth and decided to walk around in one of the McDonald's. LOL. Isn't it ironic???

Walked out after a while and then went to this place where they were showing all the cars. Quite cool actually. They had some other stuff as well. Cute ones.

Decided to call it a day 'cause I was already half-dead. Hehe... Yeah so that was the end of day one.

End of this post? Yup. Thank you for reading. :)
