Paris Day 5 - Islands at Notre Dame area

If we'd stayed longer and had plenty of time, it'd be a bliss to have a stroll along the riverbank of the islands and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Although it's the beginning of Summer we still see bald looking trees around.

Depending on how early we are, the streets might just be almost empty.

The Maison Berthillon ice cream is really tasty :P I loved ice cream as always.

As per the recommendation of our mini guide book, we had lunch at Mon Vieil Ami nearby (Addr: 69 rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile). It opens at 12pm and food is really very nice here although price is on the high side.

I wonder if that's the standard design of Europe's no entry sign as I recalled seeing this elsewhere too..

Here's photos of the tasty pastry nearby the area as well.

Here's photo of the person blowing bubbles along the river bank. A performance where you will need to pay before you get a photo taking session with them upon request. His english is pretty good from what I had overheard. I'd say that the bubbles are really huge.

Also, another place where you can put your padlocks with names on it and this is one place where you'd probably not get fines. It's a sight seeing place as well as for lovers that believed in the legend where if you write your names on the pad lock, lock it on the bridge and throw the keys away, you'd be together forever. Something along that line from my memory. I wonder if the color of the river is due to the rust of all the keys that are thrown into it.

Real Implications of 2G Service Termination for Singapore

I know the article about 2G service termination across singapore from 1st Apr 2017 was written in 2015. But how many of us actually understand the true impact of this termination then? Before things get terminated, we may have felt that since our phone is the latest model or it is at least new, the impact is minimal. But how true is that really? Please, with Dual SIM feature, it's definitely not a Sunset! It is just the beginning of our agony.. :/ With reference to the article: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/telcos-to-end-2g-services/1916108.html . I mainly only realised the impact since 21 Nov but according to M1, they had terminated the 2G services on their prepaid M Card since 15 Nov. So what does this really mean to us consumers? It means that with the Dual SIM phones out there in the market, you are in for a ride! Because, with Samsung's flagship model S7 or even the exploding model Note 7 that's later than S7, the standby or non data SIM opti...

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...
