alas…

All hopes to witness the nuit blanche was totally dashed for me when Paris won’t stop raining from morning till wee hours. Hub and I was loitering around shopping centres in Paris, hoping to escape the rain until it stops. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop at all !!!

So, we thought we will wait it out in our room (getting some rest in preparation for walking we will need to do for the nuit blanche). The rain continue to pour until 11:30pm. By then, I was super sleepy and also felt too lazy to move since we have to wake up by 6:30am to catch our flight. Hub was still quite gung-ho about venturing into the night, but, seeing how I was so reluctant to leave, he sweetly stayed back to keep me company. aww… thanks hub.

So, I’m sorry to announce that I won’t have any material to blog about the 2012 nuit blanche in Paris.

After almost 2 weeks of travelling around France (for work), i finally had the time to sit down and hopefully upload a quick post. Just learned that tomorrow is the annual Nuit Blanche in Paris.

Nuit Blanche which translate as white night, is a late-night art festival event which begins it’s roots in Nantes, France 1984. It’s so popular that soon many cities adopt this idea and have their own version of late-night cultural festival. (I read that over 120 cities in the world celebrate this now)

Interestingly eventough this event was created in France, it is only adopted in Paris from 2002.  Paris celebrates this annual event on the first saturday in october every year now.

This year, it will be on 6th October (which is tomorrow). It’ll start from 6:30pm to 5:30am the next day ! and coincidently, hub and I will be heading into Paris tomorrow morning (yay !)

Train / metro lines will be open all night thru to the next morning. And, it’s free between 2am – 5:30am (the next day). how cool is that?! And Museums are going to open their door to visitor all night long for free too. Wow.

hmm… I wonder if this means that shopping centres are also open all night long?!!! hehehe…

OOO… and for my friends and family in Melbourne, I read on wiki that Melbourne will host Australia’s first white night in 2013 !!!

till tomorrow night then. (I better get more rest tonight if I’m going to be partying all night tomorrow…Muahahaaa.)

What a mouthful! This is their 4th show.

So, when Ms. J asked if hub and I was interested to go watch Indicinelive, I was a bit skeptic and curious at the same time. Priced at RM 38 / adult, we decided, why not.

Venue: Actors Studio @ Lot 10.

It’s my first time in this studio. I love the roof top garden right outside the studio! It’s so beautiful and romantic… It would be AMAZING to have photo shoot here. The layout of the studio is really simple and nice. I love the chairs (very simple and yet comfy).

As this was my first time watching Indicinelive, I had totally no idea what it is about except that it is made up of short sketches. The opening was a little weak (in my opinion). It felt like everything was thrown together last minute and something which you can get from campfire events (during our high-school days).

Since I was having a slight headache that night, I was moaning to myself. Should I sit thru the whole show or just to leave half way? I was super glad I stayed for the next sketch.

It only went uphill from then on. The team did a great job bringing humor to our day-to-day lives. I love the parodies of songs which they sang. Hahaha…one of the song stuck in my mind even till now!!!

I really enjoyed myself and the best part? My headache was gone! And, I didn’t even take Panadol!!! Laughing is indeed the best medicine. 😉

The show is still on-going until 17th June 2012. If you wanna enjoy some casual comedy night out…why not give it a go. BTW, it’s free seating. So, go early !!! ;p
