The return of Aaron...

Haha, what a title..well, I see Malaysia again..I am back to Malaysia..Its great to be back really, to meet up with family, rather than just skyping or telephone calls..then, of course, meet up with friends, and surely, the food, and durians..hahaha

On the other hand, its like not enough, hope can stay there longer, but well, things are not meant to be so long this time..God has other plans and am sure one of his plans are "Aaron, finish up your degree first"..okie,"Yes, Lord"..so ya, I am back, adapting to the sweating environment and malaysian culture..

Arc de Triomphe

So right after Eiffel Tower in the day, we went to another iconic place in Paris which is Arc de Triomphe.

The triumphal arch honors those who fought for France, particularly during the Napolenic Wars..On the inside and the top of the arc there are all of the names of generals and wars fought..

Myself, at the middle of the road..Trust me, the road is all very busy, jammed and all main roads leads to this Arch..The name of the main road where all the lightings were is Champs Elysees..and will post that up the next post..guess what, GE sponsored all their lightings..wahaha, so proud becoming one of their intern..not bad..
Pui, and behind him the flag hanging in the arch..Both of us, middle of the road..and good signs!
Ciao!!










Bidding Online?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bidazzled. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you participated in an auction before? How about an online auction? Do you know what the difference is? Commonly these websites are called Penny Auctions or Pay-Per-Bid auction sites, bids are purchased in advance and then used to bid on merchandise. The price increases a few cents with each bid placed and a few seconds are added to the countdown clock to give others a chance to bid. The auction ends when no other bids are placed. So if a new laptop ends at just a dollar, then you win the laptop for a dollar! That’s how cool it is! You can get something you like with minimal cost!

Bidazzled.com is an online auction website that is launched in early November and is offering savings of up to 90%. The best thing about this online auction is it is designed and created to fund a lung cancer charity which is The Ruch Foundation, www.ruchfoundation.com.

Besides, in this online auction, the winners usually save over 80% off retail and basically nobody loses because if you don't win, you will receive up to 50 Bonus Bids as a gratitude for participating, and you can purchase the auction item less than the investment you had in the auction. If you win, Bidazzledtypically make an offer to buy the item back for cash (paypal or check), cash and bids or just bids.

Guess what? During the first month, there have been 2 winners of Nintendo WII's who have won with just their 5 free bids! That’s really something isn’t it?

And now they are offering exclusive offers especially to the readers out there:

-You will be given 15 Additional Bids if you use this code until January 15th (all you need to do is enter it on the registration page, there is no obligation or cost of any kind):

Eiffel in the Day

Okay, after La Defense, Pui and I went to Eiffel Tower..huhu..took a train from La Defense to the tower..The Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris and was the tallest building in the world at 300m when built in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle on the centenary of the Revolution. Now, with its aerial, it reaches 321m. So this year is their 120th anniversary, and they have light shows during the night on the tower..very very nice!
The tower has three platforms. A restaurant called the Jules Verne (extremely expensive; reservations absolutely necessary) is on the second platform. The top platform has a bar, souvenir shop, and the (recently restored) office of Gustave Eiffel...didnt manage to up the tower because the line was so so long, so many people..i think need to line up for hours..haha..it was a weekend somemore..


Eiffel tower, is not the place you would wanna miss especially at night too..next up is eiffel in the night..Don't miss the chance to come here when u r in Paris..

The prices are not only low compared to other convenient stores, they have a lot of varieties! The best thing is, Alice.com offers free shipping! I think I will purchase my tooth paste, tooth brush, detergents, soaps, shampoos, toilet papers and other daily essentials from here. It’s so convenient and cheap!

Besides, Alice automatically applies coupons for customers on thousands of products. A typical customer is able to obtain $100’s in annual coupon savings without any extra work or effort.

So, on the way there, saw some snow, in fact real ones, right in front of me because was passing thru Mont Blanc, France..here we stop at the petrol station.

The bus that i took..And at last, at 930am on Sat morning, reached Paris! Met up with Pui and we made our way to the hostel to put our stuffs, but it was raining, so I prayed, asking God to stop the rain if possible for the next 3 days as I want to enjoy Paris..according to weather forecast, rain is expected for the weekend but thanks be to God, it was superbly fine weather..
Me in the metro station, waiting for the train..
