Autumn Hols 3: Paris Je T'Aime

Alhamdulillah...Syukur pada rezeki yg Allah bagi..
Tak disangka2 dapat pergi Paris lagi...it was an unplanned trip...

Actually my sisters called a few weeks before their trip and told me they wanted to go to Paris..mula2 bengang la jugak dh last minute br nk bgtau..But semua tu rezeki sbb tiba2 Eurostar ade buat promotion...so last minute booking dapat la tiket murah and both of them sponsored me..hehe..yelah nk lepaskan diorang pegi sendiri mcm tak sampai hati..dh alang2 jd tour guide kan..so me pun mengatur la strategi bershopping!!

Dh la week before tu br pegi Disneyland..and pegi gak the outlet.. see my previous entry..
But nothing much there. so selamat sket la duit ku..hehe..

We went to Paris for one day only. Pegi early in the morning, train 5.30am and blk mlm tu jugak at 9 ish...yelah now bukan tgh cuti pun..
tu pun pandai2 la cancel kan clinics and kebetulan i'm not really well the day before. So ade excuse la ponteng..hehhe... *jgn bocor okay!!!

This trip was a bit different..
Well 3 of us never go anywhere together..I mean just 3 of us..sbb beza umur byk kot..My sister got married when I just started my degree and I got married quite early too..
so we all tak pernah la pegi vacay single mingle nih..

lgpun my BIL agak conservative..so on my last trip to Msia, I dh berjaya meracun my sister and mintak permission my BIL..hehe..berjaya babe!!
My sis kate if die cakap sendiri sure tak dapat!!
And my yougest sister pun dh keje..so ade la duit sendiri die nk spend...eventho I paid for her flight ticket..takpe laah kan..

Nway i was excited about this trip, dh lama tak buat girls outing kan..duk oversea ni susah nk pegi jauh2 without family..lgpun dh ade family angkut la kan..

ni ade la solid reason to go alone..lgpun br a week before that balik from Paris Disneyland..diorang pun tak heran nk jalan dah..

ok enjoy the pics people..
mmg camwhore habis habisan laaa...hehe..
last time mase pegi Paris with my parents, Adib asyik buat hal je..
nk amik gambar pun malas..

so ni kire balas dendam laaa... ;P



Actually this time we took a day pass Metro ticket..
if nk naik hop on hop off agak pricey if for one day..kalau 2 days ok..
so it just cost us 6.30 euro..

We started our journey to Arc de Triomphe..(opps tertinggal pulak pics..)

then to Tour Eiffel..
we stopped by at Bier Hakiem and walk about 5 minutes..


Pic ni saje nk buat kenangan I'm at my 23 weeks..
penat mendera my sis amik byk2 kali sampai jadi..hehe...nk tgk my bulging bum..
nnt boleh buat profile pic.. ;)



The 3 of us..
my eldest sis ni muka my mom..even die dress up and masak pun mcm my mom..




Then we walked to Trocadero..
last time mase hubby and my parents turun sini, I was comforting Adib yg melalak sampai sejam kt atas tuh..
terlepas peluang nk posing kt patung nude ni..
aawwwwwwww!!!!




After Trocadero,
we went to Gallery La Fayette, shopping kejap laa..
Kt Champs De Elysees tak jln lg..mmg reserved nk pegi balik after habis sightseeing..

With high hope to buy things..in and out several boutiques, sampai ke sudah satu benda pun takde..
Last time mase pegi with my mom dapat la jugak special edition Le Pliage..galleries La Fayette punye..this time jgn kan special edition, classic le pliage pun xde stock..maybe sbb dekat nk christmas kot..

So dgn rase hampa kitorang pun meneruskan perjalanan ke Musee D louvre...
amik pics kt opera just opposite La Fayette..



Musee d'Louvre

Well malas gak nk masuk sbb takut x cukup mase..afterall nk tgk Monalisa je kan..hehe...



camwhoring gaya Mak Buyung..hehe...


Then meneruskan perjalanan pegi Notre Dame..


ok la gak this time tak ramai sgt org..tak mcm during Easter break..penuh nye that time..sampai my parents malas nk amik pics..
my parents ni kalau jln dgn diorang yg penting shopping..
sbb bas hop on tu stop dpn kedai takmo dh pegi amik pics ke ape ke..hehe..

this time I made it compulsary to take pics in every place that we went..yelah tak tau bile lg nk pegi..cfm tak pegi while i'm in London dh..3 kali ke Paris..cukup2 la tuh!! ;P



Then we had our lunch+tea at this Crepe restaurant..



We ordered Lemon sugar, Chestnut cream and Nutella Banana Crepes..
Sodap..
if pegi Paris tak sah kalau tak makan crepe nih!!



Then tour guide menjalankan duty tgk next destination..
btw after Notre Dame, kira dh habis main sightseeing..
so mase yg ditunggu2 dh tiba..
Ke Champs de Elysee....
Horaayyy!!!


Misi macaroons pulak and shopping maybe??hehheheh...






Mc Cafe..
yg best kt France..McD pun ade their own cafe..
so this time our mission was to compare between McD and Laduree... ;)


tp belum sempat jln ke mana, semua org dh complaint letih, sakit kaki..
nasib me ni yg dh 5 months tahan lg..
dh biasa exercise kt london kaann..hehe..
so lepak la kejap kt Starbucks..refresh...

sambil study camane nk pegi Avenue Montaigne..*wink2..



Bile dh ok..cont balik..ingat nk jenguk LV boutique but kene patah balik pulak..so semua malas..
we headed straight to Laduree..
last time mase i went with hubby dh malam and nk tutup..so tak sempat nk beli pun..




This time siap queue lg..ingat nk dine in for tea and macaroons or pastry..
but unfortunately ramai sgt org and takut our next mission tak sempat..mase ni dh around 4ish..
so just pegi beli for take out je.. ;(


Actually dlm ni tak blh amik pics..but biasalah dh ade my sis..hehe..
so we all gune camera compact je..curik2 amik pics dlm ni..
I tell you...Laduree ni mmg best..tergoda tgk semua benda..
My eldest sis ni baker..kt Langkawi mmg die buat part time biz cakes, kuih and pastries..
so mmg suke la die tgk berbagai2 jenis pastries..



packaging chocs die pun cantiks!! eiii geram je..
tp kecik sgt..nk beli kang takut pulak nk makan..hehhe..and a bit pricey..
kt London pun ade 2 Laduree so blh pegi sini jee...





Pastries..
I just bought toffee almond pastry..lupe nk snap pic..sedaaaappp....



Special John Galliano box..
lupe nk request for this box..tp dpt classic box pun dh lawa..


Whopie and choc eclairs...
cuppies pun lawa..but cuppies me pun blh buat..hehe...



and bought a box of macaroons...
yummeh!!!



Horaaayyy..
dapat Macaroons and pastries...




dh around 5ish dh start gelap...
so cepat2 nk ke Avenue td..last time lalu je..
tak masuk pun jln tuh..patut le tak perasan kedai ituh!! hehehhe...



Actually Avenue Montaigne ni ala2 Bond Street and New Bond Street..
semuanye designer boutiques..
but jauh lg cantik deco die from London..
especially bile dh gelap...
sempat la ber 'camwhoring' at few boutiques...

and jalan punye jalan...
cari punye cari..
baru la jumpe tempat yang di tuju!!!!!

CHANEL !!!!!!!!!!!

adoi mase dh jumpe tuh terhyperventilating kejap..
sbb mase tak byk and still contemplating nk beli or not..
actually kt la Fayette dh masuk but nasib xde stock..hehe...





and nasib we all pun baik, orang tak ramai and maybe sbb dh petang kot..
dapat pulak SA yg baik and peramah..
duk la melayan me yg byk songeh ni..
Actually I'm quite fussy but sbb selalu pegi sorang tak perasan la pulak..hehhee...
this time jenuh my sisters tunggu..but they are very supportive..hehe..

boleh siap tolong pilih lagi..



Jumbo or Maxi??
owh lala pening!!!



Red or black???
pening!!!!


Mase ni dh pening gak laa..
dgn contemplating nya lagi...
nk pilih colour lg...
siap suh SA tu call London butik to find out...die pun dgn baik hati call London..and i got all the infos..siap suh compare harga etc..kekkekekeke...
ala if serious nk beli ape salahnye kan..
we have our rights kan??

tu la advantage nye slalu kuar masuk Chanel kt London..cume tak terbeli je before nih! ;P

Akhirnya..setelah clarify everything...
dengan hyperventilating nyeer...

I got My first ever Missy C...
not from Rue Cambon..
But from Avenue Montaigne..
and i made the right choice going to this boutique coz most of the stores has ran out of stocks that day..
La Fayette didn't have stocks for 3 days already!!!
Alhamdulillah tu la yg dikata rezeki....






Owh am smiling ear to ear..
penat menabung...i still can't believe my eyes and myself that I owned this wish bag..
dapat pulak yg..mmmm...nnt la di reveal later...hehhehe...
so happy lallalallalallala.....

rezeki baby this time banyak..Alhamdulillah...syukur!!!!

and lg satu SA tu wrap it nicely siap ade flowers at every layers..
sbb i told her this gonna be my gift..
gift utk ape pun tak tau nk cakap...hehhehe..
nk tunggu dpt my phd lambat lg..
takpela gift untuk diri sendiri laaaa...hehhehe..
(lgpun my hubby dh bg green light kan...)

thanks to her..she really made my day!!!
and thanks to my sisters gak yang sabar melayan kerenah adik/kakak sorang ni...
and helped me in making the rite decision..
i think if i went alone mesti i choose the other one...

and the next day, mulut ni gatal gak nk bgtau my dear friend..she is pakar handbag..
and she was so excited to hear that and told me that i was so lucky and i made the rite decision!!
brla dpt tido lena malam tuh..hehe..

decision yg susah tau..
lg susah dr nk jawab exam final..hehhehe.. (yolah tuh!!!)



after dh happy2, we went back to Gare du nord and bought our dinner at halal shop nearby..
siap tapau for my hubby and kids..

then borded Eurostar for 2 1/2 hours...



Tibelah di London dgn hati berbunga2....
yeeaaaa...
Mission Accomplished!!!
Thanks a million to my sisters!!
I loooove u both!!
nnt dh blk msia, cfm akan buat girls trip lagi!!
sgt enjoyablee and happening!!!

to those yg tertanye2 mane my choice, pls keep guessing!!
yg dh tau sshhhh..
just wait for my next hot entry!!
I will reveal it okay..not to long..dun worry!!

but pls dun kecoh2 kt fb yek...hehhee....

so dh boleh tutup buku for this year..
lgpun boxing day confirm tak larat nk queue dgn my bulging yg dh 7 months..
tak yah la nk berat2 kepala pikir..hehhehe...
actually if nk back for good pun rasenye dh ready..
byk benda dh dapat..so tak terkilan la kalau balik pun..hehhe..
but ade one more year..gune je la mase tuh..
so tak stress sgt laa..blh concentrate on my membership exam pulak..hehe...




opps..tertinggal pulak..
ni la comparison Macaroons form Mc Cafe and Laduree...

Mc Cafe: bolat2, gemuks but a bit hard..
Laduree: slim shady, cantik and sedap lg the fillings!! of course la bias kan..dh namenye macaroons specialist..of course la sedap!!
cfm akan re visit the one in London!!
anyone care for coffee and macaroons??
Harrods or Burlington Arcade..

ok that's all..
