That That – PSY & Suga

This song has earned it’s rightful place in my family playlist. The video was played repeatedly each night before the 9pm theatre show in Club Med Cherating. It warms the crowd up ahead of the performance of the evening. My kids were particularly drawn to the production value of the video and they instantly recognised […]

Zoo Negara

I am finally back in Paris after a two weeks jammed packed holiday in Malaysia. We visited Zoo Negara with the kids. We have talked about this for a while now ever since the Panda’s were welcomed to the National Zoo but never made the effort to visit it. The morning started with a drizzle […]

It features 8 Monet’s painting of Waterlilies in a pond in two oval shaped rooms. The large paintings were gifted to the state by Monet. The room feels like a perfect place for […]

Our Lady Peace – Somewhere Out There

This song brings back memories of my time in college when I had two canadians intern in the university. They didn’t necessarily introduced me to the band (MTV did!) but I remembered it was the same time. I am sure we had photo somewhere of us celebrating Canadian day together. Well, continuing with my theme […]

Centre Pompidou

We booked our free tickets for the first Sundays for the 11:15 slot. The musuem is only a short walk from Chatelet Les Halles. We frequent this station because there is a Lego store here. Upon arrival, we join the growing queue according to our time slot. Upon passing security checks, we were welcomed in […]
