The Paris Travelogue!

Sorry for the long silence. So let me compensate it with a loooong entry here for you guys! hehe ;p So go grab that Twisties and sit comfortably in front of your laptop, as I'm about to entertain you with my Paris Travelogue! heheh 

(Please know that this is probably the longest post after my Maldives post! So be prepared to make your computer running slow a little! Heeee)

Europe trip 1988

At a fountain somewhere in Paris..us three girls, 25 years ago!

It has been the tradition of my family to go for a holiday abroad each year. Alhamdullilah, God has given me the opportunity to visit other countries to broaden my horizon and gain knowledge, every year. I love traveling for a lot of reasons, and I'm sure most of us do too! It can be really fun, it makes me feel more alive and I love meeting new people and exploring new places and cultures!  There’s also another deeper motivation that I feel to propel myself around the world; I feel like it makes me a better person and it makes me smarter and wiser somehow...and more open minded too! (in a good way, of course!) The constant flow of new experiences and challenges shapes me. It forces me to learn not just about the world around me, but also about myself... and what I like the most about traveling is that it can actually strengthen my faith towards God too! I feel so grateful that my dad has brought me around the world ever since I was small, to get all these exposures that shapes who I am today, earlier than most of my peers. Thank you God for the rezeqi, thank you daddy for the opportunity and experience! ^__^

Daddy with his two favourite daughters. ;p

Anyway, I have been receiving some emails regarding Paris before, especially about shopping over there.. Most of my readers wanted to know more about shopping in Paris and where to go about when you're there. So I figured, why not I make one whole entry regarding this city of fashion and love, for your easy reference in the future, or just for your reading pleasure! ;)

Paris.....in 1988

(Sorry, really bad quality picture! sobs)

Paris....in 2006!

Since I haven't really blogged about Paris in detail before, this time I thought I will make it in one (long) post here, in case you're planning to go to Paris with your spouse or family for your next trip, you can just find everything here in one post! Easier that way, huh? - So I will explain a bit on their historical & interesting places to visit, their fashion districts and streets, the Disneyland Park & Walt Disney Studio, the shopping spots for fashion, home/deco stuff, souvenirs, chocolates & macarons, their cafes, etc! ;)

A lost traveler...

So here I am today, publishing my Paris Travelogue entry! hehe. Yeayyy...finally I can get it done! - I have been doing the draft since last December actually, but haven't really find all my pictures to combine here! haha. But now that I found it, do expect A LOT of pictures, as I combined all of my Paris trip photos in here, to make my article as clear as possible for you guys! (Just don't get bored because it's long yeah...haha. Because this entry is so interesting ok! ;p Well at least, Paris IS interesting to me! ) 

Anyway, let's start! Do expect your laptop to lag a little, for all the pictures to fully load, kay?! (Don't say I didn't warn you! hihi ;p)

So traveling has become our family's activitiy ever since I was a few months old. We travel each and every year to strengthen the bonds/relationship with the family and to spend time with our loved ones.. Of all the places I've been to, and throughout visiting about 30 countries so far, I would say that I like the capital of France, the most! Although I have a feeling that I would love Greece too. And oh....Italy is nice as well! And so is Bora Bora Island (and the list goes on!) Heee ;p

But today, let me just talk about Paris since many of you has asked me some questions regarding Paris.. Plus, it has been about 4 times I have set my foot in Paris, throughout my 25 years of living in this world! So I think..it's good that I share a bit of my experience/things I know, with my readers of what I really love about Paris...

I hope you'll find this post useful for your next trip to Paris! In this post, you gonna find where to shop in Paris, what are the things to do and places to visit, and some other interesting stuff..at least to my eyes! hehe.

So here are my insights on Paris that I know so far... Enjoy reading and looking at the pictures! :) (Sorry for the long mukadimah/intro. LOL :p)

My Favourite Jacket for this year! :)

The Milan and Paris Trip

Hey sweethearts!

So sorry for the lack of updates in here! I just came back from the city of fashion - Paris and Milan about a week ago! And so, my body just felt soooo tired all from that walking and shopping and packing and unpacking and flying and traveling! haha. So that just explains why I was so lazy and tired to blog ;p

Yes, traveling really is fun, but the un-fun part would be the after effect! - The exhaustion for days! haha. Damnnn...my body felt so weak and so really tired for a few days, last week.. Every inch of my body just felt sooo sore and it's aching all over! I was weak for a few days when I got back in KL, and to make it worse, I had fever two days after I arrived here! So yeah.. Don't travel next time! haha. Yeah righttt ;p

Anyway, my mood to blog is back again! My room is not a mess anymore (Done unpacking!). And my body is back to normal again.. So yeah, I'm a happy kid now. haha. So today I'm just going to post some pics of mine while I was in Paris and Milan (and yessss..I'm well aware that I've yet to update my Switzerland stories, my Indonesia stories, my Hong Kong trip, my Amsterdam trip..and so on! Heeeeee.. I'm such a badddddd blogger! ;P - Anyone wants to be my unpaid PA? Feel free to drop me an email! I have task for you to do! - Choose pics for me, from that thousands of pics and folders I have, and resize/edit it for me! Then my blogging job would be easier! heheheh ;p)

Anyways...enough of babbling and craps.. So here are some of the pics I let you see first before I start story-telling you guys about my trip on the two awesome cities that I visited this month! It's kinda like a preview.. or maybe a (long) summary, I should say. haha ;P


This Paris trip would be my third time visiting the city, and Milan would be second..

Sightseeing in Milan. 

"I'm lost.."

The best hot chocolate drink I ever tasted in my life! 

The friendly Italian guy. 

We talked like dogs and cats. He doesn't know English..but still talking to me in Italian. haha. But it was soooo cute! The fact that he kept on explaining though he knew that I don't understand a word he said, is really really cute! With all that hand gestures and whatnot. haha.. The only word I understand was "poco poco". Which means little. Or in our language, sikit-sikit. Well...he was telling me that he can only talk sikit-sikit in English! haha..
