Paris Disneyland

One of the happiest days of my life was spent that day at Paris Disneyland. I was boyfriend-less then, and with 2 of my best friends (Shirley and Nifer) in Paris. What's not to love? My figure! Hahaha..
Warning! In the photos below, the 3 of us look like Big Macs.


Nifer and I posing upon entering the Park. Lucky it wasn't a very cold day in Disneyland.



This is the Sleeping Beauty Castle. It's the grandest castle out of all the other Disneyland's cos the Europeans had plenty of castles throughout Europe. Therefore, they had to make this castle more impressive that the other castles in Disneyland Tokyo or Hongkong.





One of the rides we went on. It went underground as well..no idea how to explain it here. =)



This is without doubt the best ride. Its like a rocket, shooting upwards. We can only see the inside of the rocket, and while you're spinning around 360 degrees, hanging upside down all you see are millions of stars, and planets. Its beautiful and so fun at the same time. We were terrified while in the queue cos of all the screams from others who've gone before us. But it was wonderful, and if the queue wasn't so bloody long, many people would be queuing up for a second ride.



Shirley with Minnie Mouse.



Nifer and I with Goofy. I've already resized the photos so we look smaller. Not helping is it? Haha.. at least its in the past.





Shirley and I with our 3D glasses. I liked the show. There was a part where you could feel hundreds of mice crawling up your legs. That was sooo...gilik. Ewwww... And another part where this huge snake came out right in front of our faces. Everyone was recoiling in their seats. A very nice experience though..

A word of advise for those going to Disneyland. Go very early to get fast tickets for the rides. We ended up queuing for nearly 2 hours for one ride alone. There were sooo many people. We arrived before 9am i think, and left when it was closing. It was awesome! We were like kids again, buying cute hats, souvenirs, anticipating each rides, screaming along with everyone else. Disney was full of surprised. Every where we went, there were mascots taking photos with people, or shows just by the corner. Singing and dancing, skating on ice. At night, there was a parade finished off by a magnificent fireworks display. Amazing!

The downside was the food i guess. The restaurants were full, and not enough staff i guess. Many people were without seats and the food were on trays so we can't take away. Its too cold to eat outside anyway. But its not a big deal as you're not in Disneyland to eat. You're supposed to enjoy other attractions.

Blue Elephant

Our complimentary drinks from the waiter..

A very nice waiter took this photo for us. Coincidentally he's studying at the same college as us..

Nifer and Shirley.

Curry..

A spicy seafood soup called Floating Market. Its flavored with lemongrass and lime leaves..

This is fish. I don't remember what's the name again. Sorry.. I'm lousy at remembering Thai names..

Nifer demonstrating how to make a Mieng Kham.

This is Mieng Kham. Its Betel leaves, and we fill them ourselves with roasted peanuts, pieces of lime, shallot, ginger and dried shrimp. Not a very good picture. The one above is better.

Me enjoying the som tam. Its a popular North-eastern dish: Shredded green papaya with lemon dressing and dry shrimps.


The first dish. An appetizer. It tastes good though I have no idea what its called.. Nifer oreder this.

Nifer and I, dressed up for her birthday night out. Cut the cake and sang her a birthday song before we left the house..

Since Nifer's birthday is coming up, 13/4 and since I'm craving Thai food, I thought I'd do a tribute to her birthday last year. We (Nifer, Shirley and I) went to this posh Thai restaurant called the Blue Elephant in Fulham.

Honestly, I'd say Blue Elephant is beautiful inside. The designs, the goldfish pond, the blue bar.. But the food is overpriced and not as delicious as some other thai restaurants I've been to in London...

Funny


I took this photo in Oxford.

Tootsies

It reminds me of the song I heard.

"Don't mess with my toot toot".

Heh heh. If you're hungry, you have weird choices here.

Donuts? Pizza?

Tootsies or tits?

Or you can go to Ha Ha Bar for some Laughter!

Air Tickets

Ice skating in Newcastle. (Nifer, Willie, Me)
First time at London Bridge.

My first time to see the Big Ben and Parliament Houses

Brandy and I, London Eye
Spent the whole day trying to book air tickets today. Back to London. I finally found out my convo date Its on the 10th of July. So far, everything is fully booked. I have to be prepared to pay much more. Nifer's parents got RM 3,600 for Thai Airways, and Willie's mum got RM 3, 500 for Cathay Pacific. How do they do it? The cheapest offer i got is RM 3, 900 on Royal Brunei, some more i'm on the waiting list. Damn..

I'll try calling more tour agents tomorrow. Wish me luck.
