Good Morrow To Positivity
Assalamulaikum...
Its been a while since my last post.
Despite good progress in so many things and ways in life, i have also faced good and bad challenges from the past year and writing seems to be the least thing that I would do to avoid unpleasant self expressing posts.
After doing self observation, I found that I'm being surrounded with selfish, rude and ignorant people. Life has become rushy and kiasu. Work should start at 8.45 daily, but never can go back at 5.45, and at least twice a week, I should come at 12 midnight. Not to forget weekends. Last month itself, I need to be at the office every Saturday, from 9 to 6. Something that I didn't prep myself when I accepted the job offer in 2011.
I had into fights and arguments, and indirectly it recreates the 'old' me. Which I have tried to preserve years back. Its a norm here. The organization calls it 'proactive' attitude. In order to survive, you have to fight.
Those painful things paid a good deal in March this year. Not to say that I'm not grateful, but in my state, I would say life is not all about the money.
So, enough of that. Today, after months, I looked back at my previous posts and blog-hopping to my dear old blogger friends, and I found out how I missed out so many good things about blogging. Different people with different lifestyles and stories. Us documenting stuff that we experienced. It is impossible to remember all, isn't it.
Well, though that some people find out that blogging is a medium of showing off and stuff. Its their right to feel that way, but they should know that its one way of 'muhibbah' and its the blog-owner's right as well to write anything that they want. 'Buang Yang Keruh, Ambil Yang Jernih'. No one is perfect and so do you.
Ummpphh... feel so much lively now after putting on one post. Hopefully, I can spare a bit of my time to 'ziarah' lovely friends' blogs like the old times. I sincerely have to apologize for neglecting our online friendship, and hope to see you guys on your next posts.
Wasalam..
Yours Truly,

Paris: Eiffel Tower
Previous Post: Paris: Monmartre + Rue de Steinkerque + Square Louise Michel
After our trip to Monmartre, we took metro from ANVERS station, changed lines and headed toward the BIR-HAKEIM station. Everyone would want to come here for their first visit to Paris. I have a different perspective of Paris after the visit. It was not as romantic as it seems. Its a place full of tourists, and I could smell urine everywhere. Nothing much to be done here, except for taking pictures of one of the most famous building in the world.

People selling souvenirs along the way. We received the same 10 greetings as we passed by them,
'Selamat Pagi Malaysians. I know Genting Highlands. Come..come '. Thought KLCC is famous?
Sadly, I could not see the Eiffel Tower at night.
Paris: Monmartre + Rue de Steinkerque + Square Louise Michel
Previous Post: Accommodation: Hôtel de Bellevue Paris Gare du Nord, Paris
The first place that we visited in Paris was the Monmartre. The mission was to get souvenirs for the short trip. We commuted by Metro from the La Chapelle's station to the Anvers' station and had a quick lunch there at an Arabic restaurant. This was the worst meal that I had in the Europe. However, the restaurant was just next to Monmartre and we were terribly hungry at that time.

After the quick lunch, we then headed towards the Rue de Steinkerque. It is one of the famous alley in Monmartre. Lots and lots of shops selling Paris' souvenirs and its being said that the prices are cheaper here.

We had a 3D 2N travelling to Paris in 2011. Okay, this is an old story to be told, then. However, just want to share with you guys our short trip experiences there.
We made online booking through booking.com website and was made a month before the trip. Certainly not advisable to do so especially during summer. My regret was not to find a place closer to the Eiffel Tower, as room prices were very high and most were fully booked.
Luckily, there was a place available, which only 5 minutes walking distance to the metro (La Chapelle station). 3 rooms were booked with a price of 100 euro per night (per room). Not bad for a 3-star hotel. It is nearby an arab restaurant. The stay over was not bad at all.
