Paris Day 1 - Garden Tour

I had finally sorted out the photo for my Paris / Frankfurt Trip and here's Day 1 photos. As 1st May on which we had reached Paris is a Public Holiday in Europe as well, there's nothing much opened except for Parks and eatery places.

Lesson learnt: Next time I'll plan my leave better and avoid visiting Europe on their public holidays.

After alighting from the "Gare du Nord" station, we walked around to find places with food and I am so cold because... my luggage check-in was delayed and I had checked in my jacket accidentally and didn't realise it until it was too late! The lucky part is that my boyfriend had 2 jackets and I got the thinner one as the other one feels pricky so too bad for me.

Here's the first cafe that we saw and decided to give it a try as the price is pretty reasonable.

 I heard that the chicken is not bad.

 The beef I ordered was super tough as it's well done but at least it's edible.. So my favourite was the French Fries which we guess because it's France so their fries just got to be good... :D



We took a a walk around Eiffel Tower area to confirm on how to get there, just in case as we had already booked out Eiffel Tower Tour on 3rd May. :D We booked the tour just to make sure that we can skip the long ticket buying queue :P My friend told me that she had to queue for 3 hours just to buy the ticket and after that, it's pretty fast..

 Here's an interesting flower on a tree at the garden near Eiffel Tower :)
I wonder if this is the cherry trees that the websites are talking about.. I guess, it's getting into Summer so only a few of such trees are around for viewing in the various parks that I went..

 This looks like some interesting looking remains of certain buildings but due to the swamps of tiny looking insects around the area, I ran off just to be safe. It's definitely not fun to be sick or bitten or anything overseas especially on the first day of my trip.

 This is the occasional water fountain special effects that we spotted as we loiter around the area for quite some time. Well, there's this particular strong smell in the area near this fountain and it got stronger especially when this special effects started.

 Here's the last park that we got to as it had started raining a bit as we got there..
 Here's the both of us taking photo while waiting for the rain to subside.

My camera can't capture how big the rain is.... only the wet floor.

After that we went back to sleep and missed dinner! OMG!! Because it's public holidays the eateries closed early and after much walking, there's no food nearby our hotel except for vending machines.. So we ate chips for dinner.. Luckily we had a lot of bread and stuff during the day so it's not that bad..

Backup!

Haha.. I spent most of the day creating recovery disk (1 set -- initial setting), install everything I want then create backup disk. Lol.. Yes I really need the backup... 'cos before I create the backup.. I actually configure until the DVD drive cannot use.. Such that ermm heng hor, Windows have restore point and I was constantly installing stuff.. haha.. So I'm not too sure what config went nuts 'cos I just restore and start again loh.. It's just day 2 nia.. I spoiled the software again lol.. Think maybe I should just not try to be too funny about my config ba.. Then I try to play the game, it seems like my pointer settings will affect the game play if I use pointer. A bit ma fan.. So maybe I should just use mouse for it ba. And something wrong about the map also.. I can see the floor.. yes.. But the pic of the mini and big map for one of the quest cannot be displayed. Now trying to find direct X to install. Hopefully it helps ba. At least most of the stuff is done le....

Free Antivirus Software

Just shared with one of my friends a few days ago that her computer is infected by some virus. And came to realised only yesterday that she's not the only one with unprotected computer. Then I'm wondering if it's just IT people that knows where to get free yet good antivirus software and install? Just to share with those that didn't know, AVG is really a very good yet free antivirus software. If you don't have one, it's best that you just download and install it so that your computer will be almost always virus free. At least most of the normal virus won't be able to disturb you :)

Monopoly Deal - A Fun Game to Play @ Chalets!

I felt that Monopoly Deal is really a fun and challenging game to play, especially at the Chalet. There are many rules to the game, but luckily we had a  monopoly deal rules expert with us to double-click with in event of discrepancy! I feel that it requires strategy and some form of luck to win the game. So far, I always get good property cards sets but it always get taken away 'cos I don't have the "Just say NO" card and it tend to get taken away, especially if I've a complete set. Then, I tried the strategy of not putting up a complete set, then it also doesn't really work 'cos in the end, I don't end up putting my sets on the table. Perhaps, I'll need to play a lot more times and try different methods till I get the idea right I guess. If you do have the chance, try playing that game. It's really exciting, 'cos you'll never know how long will your properties stay with you! As well as, how much money you can have in your hands. T...
