Romancing Paris

Paris did not turn out to be as romantic as i thought it was.Not sure if its the freezing weather that we couldnt enjoy the surroundings or the bad service when dining. The streets to me are not too different from other europe stations But it's true Paris does have lotsa fashion icons on the street..n i was still pretty touched by the hourly blinking lightshow on the iconic effiel tower @ night.

Arc de Triomphe

Along the streets of Champ Elysees

A very nice Peugot shop. I bet the car biz is doing damn well cos they are having transport strike now. The public transport were almost non operational.

The 3 storeys LV.

Finally managed to get what my mum has been yearning for. the Neverfull LV that's almost out of stock in every other country.

Tada, presenting to u my act atas mum's 1st LV. Scary.haha

Xmas is in the air.

After we ran our errands, we settled @ Leon's Mussels for a meal. we ate up to a hefty sum of 50 euros for both. My steak was not up to expectation but the rest were all very yummy.

The mussels were fantastic, so were the prawns. Slurp!

I love the creme brulee too.

Then , the next day, woeiling braved the cold to sight see with me though most of the places she had already been.. ahah Thanks babe.

Taking the only working train line.

2nd day was really freezing . i bet its a minus 5 degree maximum. so cold we had to buy gloves on the spot n even with em on, our poor hands were frozen.

Makes me wanna buy everything from their souverneirs shop man.

The very Gothic Notre Dame de Paris

Inside the Cathedral

Seine River.

These are gulls..nt bats.


Some very retro ELLE magazine.

Next, our walk to the Lourve was so near yet so far.Cos it was really cold.

I'm ms Armstrong.

Lotsa nice pics @ the Lourve

n ugly ones as well.

Night view of Lourve. Pity its quite late n wl've been there. I will b back there next time for Mona Lisa.

Next up was Effiel Tower, no train was operating there, we took to the nearest station possible and shared cab with one couple to the Effiel. The man was so gentlemanly , he rejected our $$. Lucky woman with him.

Spot me.

The blinking Tower was really awesome. It's really quite romantic.but only once in an hr n last for prob 5 mins... We were most excited when the lights came on and we snapped whatever pics we could.

Both of us were so exhausted and cold by 7pm so we really tried our might to grab any cab in sight. Heng we didnt gt to wait for too long.. den it started raining and we settled @ a restaurant near our hotel for dinner. Horrible service n bad food (mine was).. i swear never to step in there again. Pui.

Then on our touched dwn day in Sin, Steph n i met up with Woeiling to celebrate her bdae in advance.

We went wisma for ichiban boshi. that place never failed to fill my stomach with satisfaction.

I want a white xmas one day!!!!

we cant help but to take pics with the nicely done up xmas deco. Majiam we r tourists.

n we caught the bdae ger by surprise by sneaking out to get her the pair of heels she's been eyeing while she's the e washroom...

Was a great night, thanks the bdae gal for e drinks and HAPPY BDAE WL!!! HUGs....
