Further down Notre Dame is Sainte Chapelle. Of cos, Marpig never miss a chance to go into any cathedrals and so in went Marpig.But!! It was a shame!! Seriously, Marpig must do smth to her memories... she cant rem which photos show Notre Dame but definitely not those with little pple. Anyh, herez sm photos on 1 of the countless cathedrals Marpig went in whilst in Paris!!
Itz really peaceful inside... felt like a sanctuary...
The organ... *ah~~~*
Our Lord who died on the x for our sins
This is Saint Anthony (of Padua)!! Looks quite fatherly ya? A little bit bout him; he likes children and it was said tt when he died on 13th June, 1231, children cried for him. Guess ttz why his iconic image is always with a child (sm articles said it is the Christ Child... hmmm Marpig knew nought) Also, he is known as a "Doctor of the Church" and is specially invoked for the recovery of things that are lost. The prayer goes like, "St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come around. Smth is lost and cannot be found" :) If only he can help Marpig... Marpig lost smth too... ... *sigh*
The alter...Anyw, letz move on to the Louvre!!
Street leading to the Louvre!!
Entrance to the courtyard. It has a symbol (or just a decorated abbrev. of the Louvre) which is mirror imaged "L" on both the top corners... spotted them?
Close up of the carvings...
Another close up... wah~~~ :P
Immediately after the entrance gates, one see the gigantic courtyard!! (180º front view) The fountain is not operating, guess it will be frozen cos itz freezing cold!! BTW, see tt teeny weeny door in the middle?! Managed to peek at the inverted glass pyramid?! *xxxcited*
Sm naked poses around the courtyard... actually, nakedness is really a fantastic art... no no, pls don think obscenity... just nudity all right?
Guess every facial xpressions of the figures or carvings as a whole depict a scenario/story/msg... Marpig could spend entire day just admiring all!!Going past the courtyard... !!
The Holy Grail!! Oh boy oh boy!! Duh. hahahahahaha
Once again, minimising to protect Marpigz identity!! XT, stop xploding them in another window!! hahahahahaDidnt go into the galleries in the Louvre bcos need to pay. Hence, didnt see the real (small) Mona Lisa portrait. Nonetheless, bought a few postcards for Marpigz frens. Cant rem for whom... guess Beenie and JM has them hmmm who else?
Anyw, saw paper dolls in the shops!! Wow!! Marpigz fav!! Marpigz mom used to buy them for Marpig... even when Marpig had grown up (bcos Marpig asked her to buy) And, she did... she bought Marpig a few paper dolls set when she went to Msia (?) bcos there werent anymore in Singapore... children now don even noe of the xsistence of paper dolls Marpig guesses... Those paper dolls tt Marpigz mom bought were still stashed away in Marpigz collection cupboard... as gd as new... never played b4... too precious to play... too fragile...Watever, Marpig am so xxxcited bout the Louvre, but guess wat, not every1 does...
(>_<) OMG

Hahaha...really like all your nice pics including the last one of a bored travelling companion;p And how did u noe tt I'l try to expand pics w your face just to chk tt your fragile identity(pls la, u already exposed yourself before liao)is protected? Hahaha...
For your current pain I can only guess tt it's stress-induced by observation of ur recent wkload. TCM also mentioned how Emotions play a very important part in our health--my cher said tt most pp r not living in gd/optimum health these days but they r not aware o it, wat w our hectic urban lifestyle n generally not listenin to our poor bodies askin it to work n work. Usually d problem will b there under the surface n flare up when stress is accumulated over time/some sudden trigger is pulled.
I have no idea wat exactly will be gd for u now as I m not a professional--for the relieving o ur current symptoms do seek pro help(body chkup, western medicine) soon. Btw, I m curious whet is there TCM near where u live?
Last but not least--Rem to keep cool best as u can k? Some work scenarios are not worth sacrificing your health for.
