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 [...]

This, Is the End
May 30th, 1997 No Comments
End of May. End of the project. End of my stay in Paris. In this two days, I have realised something. “Almost nothing lasts forever. But the end of something always marks the beginning of something else. For better or for worst? Who can tell? That is when optimism and pessimism come into the picture. [...]

I Hate Goodbye
May 29th, 1997 No Comments
Farewell party. I have invited 25 people and it was pretty crowded. Sophie and they all have bought me some presents. A pair of “waist cuff”, one brace and Mylene Farmer LD. And of course, one card full of writings from the 7th floor. I shall miss them all. Very much so. I hate “Goodbye”. [...]

Tried

Spent the whole day in the office talking about sex Mohamed. Can’t believe it. What? Mohamed had sex with 2 Italians on a mountain? Hard to believe but may as well be true. I am so tired. Watched the show “Powder” on Pay TV and it is oh so touching. Tweet
Stripped, Shattered

I had nightmare again. Too many nightmare nowadays. Car crash, arrested by Chinese government, bullets in my legs, sick surgeon. I really can’t stand it. The whole weekend alone. Mohamed didn’t call as promised. So lonely and my mind was set to JP again. What is love? What is hate? To love is to hate. To [...]

In the End, Hamlet Died
May 24th, 1997 No Comments
Got up quite late and went to my favourite cinema and bought a ticket for the show “Hamlet”. Dashed to my favourite restaurant (Japanese) and they opened it earlier especially for me. Arrived just on time for the show and got a really lousy seat. Anyway it wasn’t that bad. Knowing the show would last [...]

I Hate Parting
May 23rd, 1997 No Comments
They are going to organize a farewell party for me. How nice! On Monday, Michel, Noubi and Laurent will leave for Cairo and will not be seeing them in the near future. From time to time, I do feel quite emotional towards it. I hate parting. And towards the end of the night, Michel has [...]

I Wish I Could Record the Best Scenes of My Life
May 22nd, 1997 No Comments
Spent more than half a day in drafting the final status report. Feel a bit of void right now. You see, really void. I will miss my clients and the project itself. And of course, I will miss Paris. The Spanish food tonight was alright. A bit far away (beyond Chatelet). Funny that tonight during [...]
