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.

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...

Business Network International

I went for one of my friends' Business Network International gathering today. It's actually quite interesting, although initially, I'm quite lost. But after some time, then ok le. A new experience I should say, with a group of people that likes whatever each other is going so much and having lots of fun! The people there are really very friendly, so I shall add those that I've talked to into my hotlist then. Just that I'm not too sure if they really remember me :P But after sometime, I'll need to replace my friend for about 2 weeks so it should be ok I guess. The only downside is that. 7.30am is really a tough timing to wake up and go for the meeting. I'm glad I'm there. I'm so blessed!

Shaun Stenning - Story of the Refund Request

I'm merely sharing the harsh truth and facts about the refund story started by Shaun Stenning himself. My post is biased toward my personal experience so judge it yourself. First of all, there was originally a blog post in their site to tell us that there will be a refund statement or something that will be send to us some Release Agreement but nothing ever happen other than the acknowledgment email reply which I've received from Shaun: "On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:15 PM, Shaun Stenning <shaun.stenning@dollarrose.com> wrote: your refund request has been received, please note that we will not be actioning the request until 1st March 2011 when you will receive the Release Agreement Shaun" After that, I just visited that link again and it has already been removed entirely. It's now loading page not found instead. If you were me, how would you feel?
