Parisien apartment

This is our tiny (the agent said cosy) apartment. I spent the whole day unpack and clean the apartment. Now it looks quite alright and I started to fall in love with the place already :) Let me know what you think.


The apartment building with a cafe. Haven't been there yet.

The smallest lift, only fit two persons.


If you scared of the small and dark lift, you can take the stairs.

These two days I only ventured out to the neighbourhood, buying groceries. It has been so long that I have done any cooking. Love this kind of life, no work, no stress and just have to think of my shopping list for the next trip to supermarket. I promise hubby to cook everyday until I run out of ideas hehhee... Now I have a lot of time for myself to do mini facial, spent half an hour in a bath tub, this is the life I yearned for so long.

So far the only problem I have is the language. Like when I was buying groceries, I have to keep guessing what it meant. So far I have picked up a few vocabulary like poulet (= chicken), beouf (= beef), poissons (= fish), oeuf (= egg), jambon (= ham). veau (= veal), and porc (= pork).

Things are expensive, double of what we usually pay in Singapore. So let's say 1 pack of eggs is SGD 1.5. It is EUR 1.5 euro here. 1 EUR = 2 SGD. A meal at a restaurant usually costs around SGD 30 in Singapore, here it is EUR 30. So I really have to cook. But so far I still enjoy doing it so no worries.

I think I will start exploring Paris in the next few days. Will do it area by area.
