Paris day 3 and 4

Continuing the sequel of my story, im moving forward to day 3 and 4. Departing from Waterloo Station, London, as early as 8am we are off to Paris travelling with Euro Star. U know the train that Mr.Bean took to Paris in the movie Mr.Bean Holiday? haha yea the same train. The journey was like 3 hours and its freaking dead bored too. No foods are served, you want you have to go to the last cabin and get the foods urself not to forget paying for IT.

Once we touch down, everything was in FRENCH and goddammit, they don't have english at signboards and that's so evil. Even in Malaysia we have an 'exit' word below the 'keluar' sign. But here not!. Hmm ... i guess there's "something" between the French and the British. Rite? And that makes me learn something new, the word in French "Sortie" means Exit muahahaha ^^.

Anyway, we enquire stuffs at the Information Desk and manage to take the right train to stop at the station which is supposingly to be nearby our hotel. The Station we stop at was called "Les Halles". How u pronounce it? hehe ask me. Once we reach the station, we're hungry and couldnt make our way to the hotel. Dam we're LOST in Paris. Luckily, after walking a distance, we saw "Novotel" and yes that's the place where i slept and we stayed^^.

Since it was the first day in Paris, we need to collect our DisneyLand tickets first for tomorrow. I mean its better not to do last minute thing especially when u r in somewhere-not-the-place-u-belongs-to. The place was in Louvre du Rivoli somewhere near the Louvre. While walking towards that direction, we need to cross the roads a couple of times. I tell you ar, the drivers in Paris is dam aggresive okay. Not only the car drivers but the Higher class Rempits also dam aggresive. The traffic light just 0.5 sec turns green already HONK. wtf man. Even crossing the road, they dun care whether u have white hair or white skin they will just honk u.

After collecting the tickets, we are heading to Musee de Louvre =) And that's where DaVinCi Code take place.

That's my bro and me, the Museum was behind us.

Somewhere in the street of Paris.


My mum look so fuunny lol.

And now im entering the Pyramid ... into the DaVinCi codee


Group pic. Identify them urselves.


The entrance fee to the "hall" was free though. But if you wan to enter the gallery, you will need to pay 9 euros, and that's around 45 ringgit. As a tourist off course you will enter la ...


And that's me entering ... tada tada ..



When u look up, u will see a lot of this statue.

LOL That's the closest distance you could take a picture with Mona Lisa haha.

At least i can remember, that was one of Van Gogh's masterpiece where he painted at a wall.

Unknown statue. Dun ask me what it is.

I guess nobody is interested in paintings and that's the main reason we left EARLY as in stayed for less than an hour n we left haha. At least we get to see Mona Lisa k. Worth the amount we paid for.

Night view of the Louvre.

Off we head to the Arch. Dunno what famous Arch is this. Look at the amount of people. Crazee man.

Me and arch. Remember in MrBean Holiday, this is the place where he walk all the way straight and make the car hit each other creating a havoc on the road lol.

Bad Pic. At first we dunno which spot is the best to snap a nice photo with mr.eiffel. Wait for a better one in the next post.

So the day ends. The next day will be the whole day at Euro DisneyLand.

Here comes DISNEYLAND !!. Come on', its my first visit to DisneyLand k. Dam i feel like a kid. LoL im always acting like a kid all the time anywayz ...


According to others, this Disneyland is just the same like other Disneyland. The buildings, the design, the park which is divided into parts, i think 80% they are the same.



Que is so dam long to take pic with these Disney Characters. And oh god, i look around are those small kids who are longing to take pic =.= i really feel so kiddie now.

Dam, i que so long and all i get is this black-face-me with this girl mouse?

This Mickey quite short. Not trying to say that im tall but really small la haha. Maybe mouse is suppose to be small i dunno. But my sis said that his brother in HongKong is bigger.


Here come's snow white or sleeping beauty castle ar? Dunnno which one but i know its either one of them behind me.


After that, we went separate ways. Me,Bro and NoobJoe get ourselves around with rides and MyMum,Sis and Aunt went shopping and hang around elsewhere. So camera is not with me, no pics for the ride though.


Stupid people do stupid things, but smart people poses for camera lol

Then later we gather back to watch the Lion King stage show. Not bad, first time watching a Disney stage live performance. Moreover Lion King's soundtrack has nice songs to listen. I love 'em all.

Here come's the Disney On Parade. With Musics Playing as the parade goes on.




Here comes the main characters. Mickey and his Girl Mouse.



Haha the rabbit reminds me of the rabbit in my house.



I can march better than that. They march not synchronise wan.



The villains float.



Here comes Ariel ( see i know disney character names so well =) ) with her fake boobs.

That's Jasmine and Aladdin =). lol

Belle and her dog.

Snow White lol Reminds me of the youtube video, "Deng Hei Lok San" wakakaka

I dunno what is Sleeping Beauty's name at first. The I use google search then only i know is Aurora. What a name.

That's all for DisneyLand. When reaches the Finale, camera already out of battery so no photos. Overall, its a great experience visiting DisneyLand for the first time. I mean it's every child's dream to visit DisneyLand rite? But somehow i felt like its abit too old for me to visit now. So better go now when u r still young, otherwise it will be like NO FUN when u r old because the rides are not that extreme, except for a few roller-coasters.

Whole day at DisneyLand, go back Hotel and ate our dinner. No photos on the food because we are too hungry and we finish up the food before we can remind ourselves to snap photo of the food first lol. Ate mussels and some dunno what shit. French Cruisine la ....

So to be continue in the next post .... third day in Paris which is also my 5th day of holiday.

London Day 1 and 2

Let the story begins ...

Semester break was last two weeks and there was already a well-planned holiday for me.

Following my Bro back to London because his school was about to start "soon", tagged along with my mum, sis, aunt and cousin. Sitting on the plane for 13 hours long wasn't that easy. At first like others, i thought i will be able to sleep all day long during the journey, i prove myself wrong. Although u might think that travelling with MAS Airlines you will be provided luxurious services. Yea, many foods are provided but the seats are way to small and not so comfortable for a 13 hours journey. All i do was, Wake Up, Eat, Sleep repeating the process all over and over again. There was a small individual TV for each seat but the movies are not that great, Fantastic Four 2, Spiderman la, Superman la, Hulk la, POTC, cant they have something like Night in the Musuem? Doh? You think i have the money to sit business class or the first class ar? Otherwise i won't be suffering in the Economy class la. One more thing, starting off your journey at noon from KL to London, you will never come accross night time, i have problem with time and rather confused, it feels like the clock is not ticking.

Anyways, reaching London Heathrow Airport, my impression was like "OMFG". Nono, my reaction wasnt meant to be excited or what, i mean really OMFG. The airport was way far far far BOTTOM from our KLIA. Somehow i felt KLIA was really the best among all airports in the world. The queue to pass through the London custom, longer than a queue like how you use to buy tickets in cinema during peak hours. I think 10 times longer than queueing for a ticket in GSC Midvalley on a Saturday. There are so few custom staff on duty, making the que grows even longer. Yet and luckily, i have no problem going through the custom, the custom staff asked me "So are you studying here?". I answered "No, i was here to visit my brother cause im having my holiday rite now" and off course in the British essence wakaka like a noob crow trying to speak like a parrot lol.

Touching down, all of us already felt so tired and half dead, then we sat the Underground train to Leceister Square (bro's place) which is in Covent Garden. The station was very near to his place, and then we drop our luggage and go to bed.

Next day, the journey begins. We went down, walking and hanging around leceister square.

You definitely wont find a public telephone booth like this in Malaysia.

Actually im not really sure the direction im heading to. I just follow my bro who is leading all of us and not sure what places im going to. I think we went to Covent Garden Market, but that day was a Friday Morning so not much people. Then we walk and walk. okay okay i dunno what road im walking along k?


Behind me is LSE (London School of Economics, and i know it's a world highly ranked university, i think rank 7 or 8 if im not wrong. But my impression was "omg", so good university but the place so cacat like this ??? I mean the school really cacat, in terms of the construction cacat la, perhaps their Education System are way high up up up.

Well, i like this photo actually. Well-positioned, free-formed pose, nice double decker bus behind lol


"Hey, look over there. I saw a pinwheel"

It's the London Eye behind me.

Reaching the London Eye or better known as the Eye of London, but heck i didn't went up and so do everyone else also didn't went up. Why? Ermm ... okay i tell the truth, im scare of heights =P. lol Besides that, it's so expensive. I know i know when u r travelling u shouldn't discuss about expensive or not expensive rite? But just dunno why i felt like its not worth going up one round and then send back u down. Waste of time. I'd rather spend my pounds on tidbits and snacks. Anywayz, i have no regret for not taking the ride. See enough already la, no need sit. Malaysian style ma, hor?

That was Big Ben behind from a further view.

.... and the closer view.

Ermm .. anyone can help me identify what building is this? I think is the something parliament house izzit?

Ermmm ... this one i also not sure what building lol. Im a blur tourist k. I think is WestMinster Abbey rite? RITE?? lolz i think im 70% right

Imagine walking from one place to another. How tired can you be? Super Tired !!! But hey, you are not walking in Malaysia u know? The weather here is awesome and the wind blows you cold air and that's so cool =).

While walking along the unknown road, spotted a limo and that's not so cool.

And this is the guard with the horse. Luckily the horse no kick me due to my face problem *phew*

Mom,Sis,NoobJoe and Aunt. Im at the back.

Behind "us" is the National Art Gallery where you can see all the not-so-famous-and-valuable paintings. No need to pay to enter, what u expect to see? Mona-Lisa?

Look at the pigeons, they are not scare of humans and they are acting like humans though.

And so i call it a post. I'll be continuing my post on day 3,4 and 5 in Paris. Wait for the next post to continue my story.

To be continued ...... soon if i happen to finish my assignment fast.
