Pont Alexandre III

built between 1896 and 1900, was and still is paris's prettiest bridge...

the bridge is heavily decorated with lamps, cupids, nymphs and winged horses...

and these seriously ain't gold bah... i think...

THE Notre Dame

first stone laid in 1163 and took around 200 years to complete. we know the novel, we seen pictures of it and we read all the facts about it, and we are still very amazed by the beauty of it when it stood proudly right before our eyes...

it has to be tigger

a french speaking tigger we found at paris disneyland...

and it has to be tigger lor...

 

of books, seine and our lady

i love this shot joelle took for me... we were at the left bank of the Seine river, overlooking the Notre Dame (Our Lady in french). there were lotsa 'pasa malam' stalls setup alongside the banks of the Seine river, selling mainly books and souvenirs. we bought a Eiffel tower souvenir of 3 euros (which we later found out that the same one sold cheaper elsewhere...), and bought none of the books cuz they were all printed in French...

anyway, i just love the way Notre Dame stand out in the background... the cathedral itself is already a legend, romanticized by Victor Hugo's novel...

standing thru the test of time,

and still looking great. the arc de triomphe du carrousel...

contrast of modern and aged...

here i was, inside a very modern structure serving as the main entrance to a very old museum, the glass pyramid of the louvre museum...

180ml

hello... i'm on nite shift today... :P

just fed megan with 180ml (6 scopes of milk powder), and she finished it! this evening, baby sitter told us megan finished 180ml when she dragged her feeding interval... so, since she just dragged 6 hours after her last feed at 8pm, we gave her 180ml at 2am... and she finish it up and went back to sleep... you know, megan look so cute and sweet in my arms when she sleeps after her nite feeds... (too bad, no photo to show cuz no hand to use camera also...)

 

not for me thou, i always can't go back to sleep after feeding megan... and so, post this entry, and hit the books for a while (should be able to fall asleep with the boring course material... keke)

and since i'm at it, i've started a new label 'travel-paris', to showcase photos from our honeymoon trip...

this is me, with michelangelo's 'dying slave' sculpture at the louvre... find this photo familiar? its my blogger profile photo mah...

妈... again...

this morning, as usual, i woke up to shower first then wakey joelle and collapse back to bed... as megan's already awaked, joelle put her with me on our bed... megan was moving, looking around and making noise... and there i was, touching her and saying "orh lah... orh lah..." until i knocked out...

when joelle showered, she came over to our bed and megan suddenly utter a loud "妈"... immediately i opened my eyes, and saw joelle's yaya-papaya face... ok lor, dear, you win le lor...

 

had a so so day at work... and had a great lunch, that was actually been planned for since last week... a last get together lunchie with DG... his last day's at end of this month... so many people left, so many new faces... office 好象越来越陌生了... :(

 

reached home pretty late, cuz joelle got to stay in office for another hour... and so, i waited for her at her office while reading up my boring course material... next week on course for vmware, something we are going to implement in the next few months...

anyway, watched a great documentary at arts central about the city of lights, paris... saw the nice scenery in the documentary and joelle exclaimed "can't believe we been there before"...
