i woke up to the cold temperature that seeped in through the window..i searched for my blanket, but finally realized that i was too cold to go back to sleep..instead, i woke up and i went for a hot shower..1 that i haven't had in weeks (the hot water at home was broken)..i got dressed and made breakfast..which mostly consists of bread, jam and some leftover biscuits from the airplane..as we watched the french news (we pretended that we understood the language..) we did our last minute packing..just to add in a few bits here and there..around 9am..we went down with our bags to check out of the hotel..mom decided to stay 1 night at the hotel before we leave Paris on the next week..so she booked a room for that day..

Paris - Day 1
got snapped out of my reverie when i saw daylight coming through the window next to me...where a couple was sitting by it..yep. unfortunately we had the aisle row on the plane but luckily no1 else was filling the other 2 seats..so we were kinda free to do our stuff..
with a soft, nice, pain-free landing (really no pain in the ears when the plane was descending..nice job, captain!)..we checked out as usual..went through the immigration n stuff..(french police are kinda cute!haha) and we waited at the arrival hall in Charles De Gaulle Paris Airport..u mite wonder what in the world we were waiting for, rite?..i mean, we're supposed to go to a hotel or go shopping n stuff..n yet we're still stuck in the airport...that's because we arrived at 6.30am!! im sure even the hotel doors aren't even open yet..
at 8.45am..we cldn't take it..mom n i went to a phone booth to call the hotel..it took us about 15 minutes to call the hotel merely because we got confused with the international code for France..after mom talked with the hotel reception, they let us check in early..(YAYY!!!)..we quickly went outside to get a bus..boy, was that a mistake!

Departure Day - Look Out Paris, Here I Come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hectic day today...unfortunately, no photos are allowed..
packing our stuff is like trying to pack a haystack inside a teeny weeny plastic bag..
we needed to wear 2 pieces of clothes inside, plus a sweater and a coat..
so, 2 x 1 x 1 x 12 days = baggages will combust (explode)..
so, all in all..we brought 1 really big bag, 1 medium bag, and 1 small bag...plus 2 carry-on bags(spare) and my backpack..
let's just say it fits nicely in a van..plus 3ppl in the back n bg.Men n Ejat in the front..
we were in a rush to head for the airport..made a short pitstop to bg.Wan's house in damansara.. we had dinner and 1/2 a movie...
bg.Wan also wanted to follow at the drop-off..arrived at around 9.30p.m..checked in (automatically) n checked in our bags (manually)..then we just waited until it was 11p.m..n straight away we went to the departure hall...excited, overwhelmed and a lil' bit sad (coz i had to leave Bobot n Yy) i was seated in the aisle seat(yay!)...
i was definitely dreading the 13hours in flight..n i was right!..
my back hurts, i couldn't sleep, n i finished 3-4 movies just by flying..jeez, i need to b in an aeroplane more often..
after the gruelling hours of tossing n turning, visiting the toilets, eating nasi n snacks n LOTS of orange n guava juice .......................................................................................................................
WE FINALLY ARRIVED PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Miri Trip - Day 4
finally, its the day we go back home...yay!!!!!
ate breakfast as usual..we could take our sweet time walking around and shopping...but we had to check-out before 12..
fortunately, 2 rooms were able to check out later in the day, so we dragged our bags to one of my mom's colleague to keep our bags there while we're out shopping..
went to one of the existing shopping mall near our hotel just to see what they had to offer..aunty roslina n yayam was the leader of the group, and my mom n me, dato' sharifah and aunti e followed suit..we stopped by at starbucks firsthand since auntie roslina couldn't start the day without a cup of nescafe..
we decided to walk around by ourselves and meet back at mcdonalds for lunch..of all the shops that were there, mom still went to iSetan..considering there r a lot of them in kl..haishh..mom bought some t-shirt for dad..n for herself..n mine..hehehehe..u gotta b fair rite?

aaawwwwwwwwww.....
Oh My God!
1st of all, i would like to apologize (pls don't start singing one republic's song!) for my absence for the past few weeks..as u all know, i was legally admitted in UiTM..my new alma mater..the 1st week was a lil' bit blurred as i was unaware and unfamiliar to the culture in the university..
on the 4th of January i accidentally lined up for the new student's registration..when i finally found out that i have registered on Saturday(sheesh)...i found myself riding the bus by myself to go back to my faculty and aimlessly trying to find my way around the 3-towered building to embark on a mission to find the Academic Office of Civil Engineering Faculty!..when i finally discovered it, it took a lil while for me to reach the front desk and ask for assistance to register at the faculty...
after many filled forms and queuing up, i finally completed my registration....YAY!!!...
