France : Paris Trip 11th June - 12th June

Thanks to my procrastination, this post only managed to be published on the blog today! It was sitting in my draft folder for a very long time. Besides, I have photos from a couple of my trips which I have yet to post. I doubt if I could remember the name of the places :p

Those who like branded merchandises, Paris is definitely a place for you. Branded and luxury shops can be found along the main streets of the city. Apart from shopping, it's indeed an ideal place to appreciate the historical buildings and sites. They are magnificient and tastefully designed. The one thing that bothered me during my trip was the pollution.

To be fair, the French was not as arrogant or rude as most people perceived. Most of the people I met were helpful and rather friendly. It was still a fact that not everyone could speak English. Body language was necessary as a mode of communication.

In terms of food, I love the escargots! All in all, I had an enjoyable trip. Thanks Tina for accomodating me. By far, you are my best travel companion (apart from my sis).

Notre Dame

The impressive architecture of Notre Dame

Cathedral de Notre Dame. Magnificient and handsomely built ;)

Its front view

There was a free performance by a band at the park. I reckoned it was a newly formed local band.

A nice weather to walk around, though a little too hot

I recalled this was the compound of a university in Paris. Snapped a photo from the gate as I thought it was beautiful :p

Mmm..the best way to remember which picture is linked to which place is to take a snapshot of the signboards, especially if you only post the photos after some time. I was heading to the Pantheon (now I recall!)

The Pantheon! Yet another canal in Europe. It did remind me a little of Prague but I thought the ones in Prague were prettier.

Seemed like I was very fascinated by the canal that I took so many shots of it! Hahaha. Tina and I at the Notre Dame (I went there again with Tina the following day after going there alone the day before)

The court.

The Palace

Louvre

Pyramide du Louvre

Tina and I wasn't satisfied with the picture at all as the person didn't manage to capture the building as well as us in it =.= We had asked two person to take for us but none of the photos taken were satisfactory.Mmm.....

Pyramide du Louvre

Night view of the famed Eiffel Tower. It didn't look as impressive during the day.

Life @ Copenhagen IV

I did it again! Missing in action, that is :p
Probably, I had mentioned to myself for many times but I think I am still not doing anything about it - blog more often. Anyway, here is an outdated post (yet again :p). It's a short trip to Frederiksborg Castle at Hillerod with my fellow Malaysian colleagues/friends. Though I had been there 2 years ago, I thought it would be different going there during summer. Perhaps would go there this winter as my friend told me it has a different "feel" during winter when everything is covered in white snow ;)

Getting there: Take a S-tog (S-train) to Hillerod station. After alighting at Hillerod station, you can either take a bus or walk there. The latter option is actually faster. It takes about 10 or 15 minutes walk. View of the castle from afar. Hypnotising, isn't it? As we were taking a stroll along the lake, we couldn't help but snapping photos of the cute ducklings resting ashore.

Irresistably, snapped a few more photos of the castle from afar.

Interesting finding : There were some houses which were just right beside the castle! Lovely house, isn't it? When will I have mine? Hahaha.

A close look at the architecture.

Posting in front of the fountain. With me, was Emily :D

More views of the architecutre. I love to take photos of building architectures ;)

View of the castle from the Garden.

Back To Monday

By the time this night is over,...........
It's Monday again!
Wish it's Sunday again, instead ;)
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and looking forward to kickstart a brand new week!

The Rainbow

A couple of months back, I wished time would quicken its pace so that I could close another chapter of my life and move on to another. I was eager to start a new chapter because I thought that chapter I was (and still am in) wouldn't be that favourable. Perhaps it's always when one least expects a colourful image would be surprised by the emergence of one, somehow.

Looking back, I did have a fair share of down and up times. While the ups are definitely memorable, the downs did push me to bring out my courage to do or face some things that I otherwise might not have done.

Back then, I saw dark clouds above my head. At times, I still do see that. However, I am now seeing rays of colourful lights slowly forming rainbow before me. Ah, it must be the rainbow after the shower, eh?

說了再見

Since my sister introduced this new song by Jay Chou to me, I could not stop listening to it. It's addictive. This is one of those songs which Jay brought out the emotion of the melody and the lyrics. Had I not known this song was sung by Jay, I could not guess who the singer was when listening the first couple of sentences. There was a slight difference from his usual mumblish style. As the song developed into chorus, it sounded more like his usual style. Anyway, I like it very much! Thanks, sis! :D

Never Give Up

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, never give up then, for that is just the time that the tide will turn.
