Trip to Versaille

It was all a enjoyable but tired trip.I was like walking my soles off in the HUGE garden.The King Louis XIV palace was just pure fantastic.All the things and bed chambers are kept as the original.Took many pictures....and then bad luck fall.Of all times for my camera to fail me,it has to be the trip to Versaille....IT RAN OUT OF BATTERY!!cursing all the way up in the visit, luckily i brought along my camera phone.If not,I could just burst into tears.All those nice view and my camera die on me.

The garden is so well kept which is HUGE....I think you need few days to walk it all.Thsy even have musical fountains.Just manage to do 1 side of the garden.My feet was absolutely calling for help by the time it is dark.Hope to go back there again to finish the tour.....didn't get the chance to visit Marie Antoinette house quarters.Everywhere is long queue.Most visits close at 5.30-6.00pm.short visit hours plus long queue+waiting in the cold....not a good combination.Will make a date again in the next trip to Paris.The train ride is also so long....almost half alive by the time reached the apartment and my nice warm bed....MY POOR FEET!!

My eventful afternoon in the Permanente Delegation de Malaisie abode

It first started with a WOW.....beautiful and cosy home.The Malaysian Government must have spent a fortune to upkeep the home.The whole deco was classy and sophisticated.Fit for an ambassador.

Good impression of the home...BUT certainly not the people staying there.The hostess is ACTUALLY clueless on how to serve guest ambassadors.And this is after 1 year serving as hostess of the house.I was actually quite disappointed, I expected something more.She don't even know where her things are in the house.Everything was everywhere.This is the scene 2 hours before the distinguished guest are about to arrive.Cutlery boxes are strewn on the floor.The hostess can be all dressed up and perfumed....and next you will find her at the kitchen frying vegetables by the stove...OMG,i was telling myself,can this really be the Datin,hostess of the house..haiz...

The maid is another liability.She can talk non-stop.....yak yak yak....loud and rough,she juz simply chuck the cutlery box in the cupboard.Then,she complains about everybody in the household.Its a wonder the master still want to keep her.i can still hear her voice drowning in my head after so long....haiz...

When the VIP guest arrived,we had another drama.The plates need to be warmed before serving.So, the waiter warmed the plates in the oven. But before that,somebody smart used the oven to bake and forgot to turn the temperaure down.So,dear readers,can you imagine,red hot plates ready to explode in the oven.To top it all,the permanent delegate started shouting at his wofe and whoever in the kitchen for the plates.Poor waiter have to right it all....

SUCH EMBARASSMENT FOR MALAYSIA....

Well,besides the drama,I had a good time at the dinner.It was an eye-opening event for me to see how people actually live in beautiful apartments....PAID IN FULL BY GOV

Most weekends I am busy going for adventuring.The first week I went to Chateau de Versailles.For those whom don't know what this is, its the palace of the sun king,Louis XIV.The castle is so big,walk until kaki patah. But what I am really happy about is that the garden is the one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. It is so well taken care off and the grounds are huge.I came back with sore legs.But I really enjoyed myself anyway....taking photos=P
