❤ 我的第一个巴黎圣诞: 老佛爷百货篇 ♡ My 1st X'mas in Paris: Galeries Lafayette Haussmann ❤

从报章的报导读到奥斯曼老佛爷百货的圣诞节摆设很正点;
所以放学后就死死夹着手提袋和手机到老佛爷去走一圈。

From the newspapers I read that the X'mas displays in Galeries Lafayette Haussmann 're quite amusing.
So after the school I made a stop at Galeries Lafayette.
With my handbag & my phone firmly clutched in my hands, of coz....


今年的圣诞主题是《世纪舞会》;
所以灰姑娘的南瓜马车就停在老佛爷的入口处~~

The theme of this X'mas is "Ball of the Century";

A Cinderella 's carriage is displayed at the entrance of Galeries Lafayette.



21米高的圣诞树~~

The X'mas tree of 21m height in Galaries Lafayette.



路易威登的橱窗设计--身着路易威登制服的提线木偶拉拉队和各种动物随着朝气蓬勃的音乐起舞。


The animated window displays of Louis Vuitton featuring cheerleading muppets in LV uniform & animated animals, accompanied by the lively music.














当然少不鸟老佛爷男装部的橱窗里翩翩起舞的娃娃~~


Not to forget the animated dancing dolls of Galeries Lafayette Homme~~







和热闹的女装部和男装部相比,对面街的老佛爷居家部的橱窗就显得冷清些;

却以高尚大气的居家摆设取胜。

The window displays of Galeries Lafayette Maison 're lack of vibrant compared to those across the street;

But appealing in their lofty & noble home decorations.















❤ 临过节来生病 ♡ Très Malade ❤

上个星期五,我到奥斯曼大道去拍鸟圣诞节装饰后,就开始觉得身体不适....
还是得硬着头皮去工作,一直喝鸟很多杯温水、上鸟N次厕所,还是无法减轻头上和喉间的灼热....
而且当晚还得帮我佬关店,就更加因为精神上的压力和身体上的痛楚而沮丧。
回家途中我在火车上已经进入半昏迷状态,还好这次有我佬在身边。

回到家,她母亲准备鸟一些药物给我。
而我一反常态地提早爬上床睡觉,却又被一些不知所谓的恶梦惊醒....
只好跑回客厅和我佬一起看一些动物纪录片,结果双双在沙发上睡到天亮....
我佬把我安置在被窝里,再帮我量体温;
结果竟然有40度!!
料想我可能患上流感、甚至生命可能有危险,他把我照顾得无微不至的;
而她母亲则打电话到诊所预约下午就诊。

我佬为鸟帮我降温,还把我放进浴缸里泡在35度(人类正常体温)的水里,结果徒然无功....
(我就酱白白咬紧牙关泡鸟20分钟的‘冷水澡’!!)
到鸟就诊时间,他带我到诊所。
医生的诊断让我们如释重负(一句说完,我没那么容易瓜掉);
可是医生还是开鸟一张好长的药方给我....

和马来西亚不同的是,在法国看病,通常医生都是开药方;
病人在诊所只付看诊费,然后再拿着药方到外面的一些药剂所买药。
不像马来西亚的诊所,都有配药的柜台;
看诊完后医生直接把药方交给护士去配药,然后病人直接在诊所拿药和一次过付清看诊费和医药费。

就酱,我的宝贵的周末就在沙发上休息和看好料的《Star Trek: Origin》度过;
我佬也让我今天请病假。

为期两周的学校假期才刚开始,明天又是圣诞节;
我却好死不死在这时候病倒....
真是中头奖都没酱好彩....

Last Friday after took the pictures of X'mas window displays in Boulevard Haussmann, I started to feel not very well....
Due to I need to work, I 'd to drank alot of warm water & went to toilet so many times but didn't help to reduce the heat in my head & my throat.
Plus I had to help darling to close the shop that night, I started to become very frustrated coz I already can't stand the stress & pain in my body.
On the way home I almost lost consciousness in the train but fortunately this time darling was with me.

Back to home, Hélène did prepare me with some medicine.
I decided to go to the bed earlier (unusually) but ended up awaken by some nonsense nightmare.
Joined darling in the living room & watched some documentaries of animal.
Ended up both of us fall asleep on the sofa till the early morning;
Darling put me into the bed & took my temperature.
He was shocked that I had a fever of 40°C!!
Assumed that I have flu & my life might be dangered, darling tried all his best to take care of me while Hélène made an appointment with the doctor in afternoon.

Darling tried to reduce my heat by putting me into the bathtub with water of 35°C (normal temperature of human body) but it didn't work.
(What?!! I was stay inside the 'cold water' with my teeth gritted for 20 minutes.... err is considered cold for me juz for nothing?!!)
Soon he took me to the doctor.
We relieved after found out that my sickness isn't severe or fatal.
But still, it 's sooooo many medicines for me....

In Malaysia, there 're always pharmacies counters in the clinics.
The doctors give the prescriptions to the nurses, & the patients get their medicines in the clinics also.
Patients pay for the medical consultation fees & the medicines together.
But in France, the patients receive the prescription from doctors & pay them consultation fees alone in the clinic (which French call as "hospital" in general);
Then the patients 'll need to go to some pharmacies to buy the medicines according to the presciptions.

I did spend my whole weekend to rest on the sofa & watch my favorite "Star Trek: Origin".
Beside, darling also offered me medical leave for today.

It 's the beginning of my 2-weeks school holiday, & tomorrow is X'mas;
But I 'm sick now.... What a luck.

❤ 我的第一个巴黎圣诞: 香榭丽舍篇 ♡ My 1st X'mas in Paris: Champs-Elysées ❤

以前在马来西亚,每年圣诞节都会到雪隆的一些购物广场去逛逛;
看看哪家的圣诞装饰最有心思 、哪家的圣诞树最高。

在法国,圣诞节是一年之中最重要的节日之一;
也让巴黎在这寒冷的季节中成为最热闹、最有生气的璀璨不夜城~~

在迎接圣诞节来临期间,夜幕低垂的香榭丽舍大道,万盏圣诞灯火璀璨;
大道两旁的圣诞市集摆卖着各种圣诞服饰和各国美食、门庭若市,和沿街挂满彩灯的树相映成趣~~

Once in M'sia, I went to some shopping complexes in Klang Valley during the X'mas seasons;
To view their fascinating X'mas displays & the efforts they spend on the Sapins (X'mas trees).

X'mas is 1 of the most important festival in France;
It makes Paris becoming the most happening & most vibrant city in dazzling lights in this chilly season.

During the X'mas season, Av. Champs-Elysées been decorated with countless X'mas lights;
The crowded X'mas Market selling the X'mas garments & exotic food, makes a lovely scenery with the light-drenched trees along the avenue.





 

我沿着大道走到协和广场。
白光摩天轮、方尖碑和彩灯圣诞树在夜色中格外耀眼照人~~
I walked along the avenue & arrived in Place de la Concorde.
La Grande Roue (the Ferris Wheel), L'obélisque de Louxor (the Obelisk of Luxor) & the X'mas Lights Sapins 're so mesmerizing in the night~~


 




说到圣诞树,自古以来是圣诞节不可或缺的配角之一~~
当马来西亚的购物广场都在费心思装饰最高最贵的圣诞树以吸引更多消费者时;
我也有幸来到立于协和广场旁、全欧洲最高的圣诞树下,一睹其风采~~

Sapin (X'mas tree) plays 1 of the most important supporting roles in X'mas~~
As the shopping complexes in M'sia 're spending efforts on their X'mas tree to attract the crowds & shoppers;
I feel lucky enough to be able to see with my own eyes - the tallest X'mas tree in Europe, which stood next to Place de la Concorde~~
