"Remember to Remember"

Magnifique Paris - Part I



Bonjour everyone!!

Finally I have the time to glue myself properly to the chair to make some updates of my winter trip. Hello 2009!



Year 2008 was filled out so quickly, with distressing happenings that I want no more, with cheerful hilarity that was worth remembering and the unforgettable winter breakaway in Europe with Chris was just fun & dreamy. Spending Christmas in Paris and New Year in London was an incredible experience.


First destination: Paris


Desserts are what I love best in this city. Will have more enticing pictures on them soon :)

Paris. Industrious, gorgeous, picturesque, romantic. We loved this city the most. Lots to see, lots to capture. Subways and train railings stretched out extensively covering entire city which made our touring arrangement pretty easy. The hotel was comfy, nestled in an area embracing shops and seafood booths.



Start your day with a substantial French breaky.

Petit Dejeuner Francais A – 5.80 Euro

Petit Dejeuner Gourmand A – 7.80 Euro

Day 1 and 2 in Paris was spent in these breathtaking spots:


The Notre Dame Cathedral




Paris Disneyland!



Where we find ourselves mesmerizing our favourite characters and really have fun.


This post is not lengthy at all. I know.

Notice that I’m idle again. Thanks to the lab sessions I’m having everyday till the end of the month. It’s actually kinda exciting and at the same time tedious and weary.

More on Paris soon!

Birthday @ Glasgow!


Another semester has gone!
I am once again feeling unbound after finishing this semester’s test.

Lucky I am.
To have friends that put in so much effort in making my 23rd birthday a memorable one, right here in Glasgow.
To own a BF that joined in their set up to surprise me by bringing me out here and there to explore Glasgow city center just to kill time.
And bought me special dinner too. Yum.

Spending time with friends is essential of course.
But a dinner for 2 with the BF is also a special ritual on birthdates.

We went for an Italian cuisine at O’ Sole Mio, a little eatery nestled on Bath Street. A rather classy restaurant, not really spacious but warm & cosy.
A candle light dinner have indeed churned out some romantic atmosphere.




However, there was one male staff that somehow got on our nerves. Arrogant old man. Issh.
Well, he did try to be nice in the end by helping to take a picture of us both though.

Coming back to the food,

The Main Dish of the night:


Yours truly. Non-edible. ;P



Spaghetti Pescatore – £ 10.50

Cooked aromatically in garlic & tomatoes, spreaded bountifully with baby clams, mussels, calamari, scampi and prawns. Heart the calamaris! Springy and fresh. Worth a try.





Risotto al Funghi – £ 8.30

Mixed with cheesey bits and mushrooms, it was fragrant and delectable, but to a certain extent as your appetite will be too jam-packed if you had too much.





Dessert

Hot Apple Pie with Ice Cream – £ 4.50
A sweet ending with a hot and cold mingle will be flawless.



Thanks for the great birthday dinner Chris!


and your presence.



Surprise from F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Effort.
Creativity.
Great cooking skills.
Friendship.
Love you guys! Thanks for making it happen :)

To Velix & Aberdeen gang… thx for the birthday song on webcam!

Food that satisfied my cravings. They prepared my favourites!
Nasi Lemak, Tempuras, Braised Pork in Vinegar, Salads, Curry Chicken and Crabs!!



Our Christmas holiday will officially start next week!
Chris and I will be away to Paris, Austria and London for Christmas and New Year. Can’t wait!

Dearest Readers, Floggers, Bloggers and Friends,

We would love to wish all of you.....


Merry Christmas &

Happy New Year!


Will have more updates in Year 2009!
Have a great holiday everyone!
