Gorges du Verdon is located in the South of France, around 100 km away from Nice. For those who wonder what a gorge is (like I do), a gorge is a deep ravine craved out by a river over a long time. To experience the gorges is best by car. The scenic route we took [...]

A Productive Day At St-Tropez, St-Paul-de-Vence, And More
October 18th, 2010 2 Comments
Although I do enjoy writing travel journals, as the chapter draws towards the end, it often gets more tedious. Historically, Cynthia and I become more productive towards the end of a holiday. Perhaps we are more used to the holiday rhythm. Or perhaps since we often cover the cultural aspect of the trip before the [...]

On Day 6 and 7, We Have Visited Nice and Monaco
October 11th, 2010 6 Comments
With a blink of an eye one month has passed since I have written an article for our recent trip to France. So much have happened in the last one month. We have visited Hong Kong. There has been a good lineup of blogger events. Our Spanish class has moved up one level. My reading [...]

2010 SingTel F1 Grid Girls Crowning Party – A Media Event
September 17th, 2010 10 Comments
What a great media event! I mean, fast cars and pretty women should go side by side with one another. I am an avid fan of Formula One and have been watching every single match on TV. Singapore circuit is special. Not only because it is a night race, an anti-clockwise circuit, but also because [...]

Day 5 To Versailles And The French Were On Strike
September 11th, 2010 No Comments
I can understand the philosophy behind the action of the unions calling upon the workers to go on strike as a form of protest against certain unfavorable policies. This time, it was something to do with the pension fund policy in France. On one hand, I am pleased to see workers coming together to achieve [...]

Sacre-Coeur And Montmartre, Pompidou Centre And Eiffel Tower
September 4th, 2010 No Comments
I am not a big fan of Eiffel Tower. But when we visited France, I had one mission in mind: To take a photograph of Eiffel Tower that is seldom seen before. I think I have somewhat achieved that. There is some deeper connotation with regards to how this photo is composed. But I shall [...]

Day 3 And We Went Up The Towers Of Notre-Dame
August 29th, 2010 2 Comments
Finally, the blue sky appeared on the third day of our holiday. We switched from museum crawling to monument crawling. If I am to pick one place in Paris I love to hang out the most, that has to be the two islands – Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis – in the center of [...]

First Two Days In Paris Was Colder Than We’d Anticipated
August 15th, 2010 No Comments
Time flies. If I don’t get started documenting our travel journal, year 2011 may hit me before I know it. June this year, we have visited France. Like our trip to Spain last year, I am going to publish an article every weekend, until I run out of materials. I am familiar with Paris. When [...]

Still Wilfrid The Paparazzi, On Felicia And Nathaniel
December 2nd, 2009 6 Comments
If you recall, a year ago, I was happily sharing the exciting news of my nephew and I sharing the same birthday. Decades apart, of course. Looking back at that blog entry, what a bizarre piece of write-up I produced! So much details then that I would have forgotten now. Like I often say, keep [...]

Wilfrid The Paparazzi, At Volcano “Kawah Putih” (Bandung South)
November 29th, 2009 9 Comments
There are many reasons to process the photos not long after the trip. First, viewers are sharp. They may ask why this set of photos is not as good as the previous set. Second, some people may look thinner or … erm … quite the opposite then than now. Especially after one long year. Third, [...]
