Paris with my Beeboo :)
Sounds more romantic than it is but maybe I've just been spoilt for romance my whole life or plain blue from my first rainy day in France. Went to the Champs Elysses again to pick up an LV bag for mommikins. Drizzled the WHOLE day. Lucky i bought that red umbrella from the Moulin Rouge store (The exchange rate is 4.8 to a RM, so don't ask me how much i've spent so far. Gosh!) Anyhow, i always wanted a red umbrella. I believe all umbrella's should be red or yellow. Really lights up a gloomy day, no?
Seems so quick but i've been here 2 weeks already. Holiday from my Beeboo, The ever perasan Charles :) I guess I'm really fortunate that my first trip to Europe was not one as a tourist since my bf/annointed tour guide is local and we are staying at his parents at Maison Alfort (15 min from Paris) in a gorgeous loft-like house and not a starchy hotel (Don't mind me, i think all hotels are 'starchy' and full of 'people fluff' aka dead skin cells and stuff. Eww). Coming home in a few days.
So far, it's been pretty..wonderful. Spent our half year anniversary sleeping under the shadow of
the Eiffel at Champs De Mars and had dinner in the oldest cafe in Paris, Procop. Ate oysters on the chapel banisters at Montmarte with the view of the entire city, checked out antique flea markets, Notre Dame, The Grand Palace, visited art galleries, the Picasso Exhibition, The Lourve/Da Vinci Museum, the apparently most known/beautiful street in the world, the Champs Elysses and generally just basking in the amazing artistry everywhere. Charles mom works for Disney so we went to Disneyland Paris twice for free ;) The perks! Hehe. His parents even drove me down to Normandie to a harbour town, Honfluer and then we went to a beach in Trousville. It's pretty cold but we whaled on sun swings and slept on the beach.
Been eating home cooked french food and overall i can say its been a real lifestyle trip for me. Living like a french not just IN France :) Lots of bread, cheeses and salads with the promise of dessert after. Love the variety of salads and even trying some of the cheeses. They have very strong smelling cheeses ok, no joke. No Cheesedale in little packets here. Everything comes in huge lumps and its in every meal. WINE! Hehe, every meal too. Had champagne a few times so i'm not missing my late nighs at Velvet in Kl wiping through bottles of my beloved Moet.
Simply said i'm loving it. My Beeboo's been great :) We've mowed through countless episodes of South Park together nightly since going out is impossible for me at night (It's COLD!) and i've done a shoot with a french photog and maybe another one in two days.
Bisous (Kisses) from Paris
