Monte Carlo not Montel Carlo

Most people would think Monaco is part of France or part of another country, but in actual fact, it is a country by itself. Monte Carlo is the capital of Monaco by the way. Phyne Ballerz, the boy band under KRU record sang a song called Monte Carlo. Like apakah kan???

Our day started quite early. We had breakfast in the apartment before we left so we don't have to keep stopping for food. Hehe. We took the train from Cannes to Monte Carlo. For those under 26, there is a 2euro off , so you pay €6.30 for a return ticket.

Bahan bukti.Yay. Monaco!

When we arrived there, we had no proper plans. It's terrible, I usually would have googled everything beforehand, but I thought my brother would have done his research seeing how he is somebody who doesn't like to waste time, but that's what happens when you think somebody else is going to do things for you. We ended up walking around the hilly Monte Carlo with no clue in the world, except from the signboards for the first 2 hours.

We wanted to take the hop on and off bus, but it wouldn't stop, so we couldn't hop on. (OMG u guys remember kedai Hop In?). The tour bus is so inefficient, you actually have to walk all the way up the hill to get to the "Center" of the City before you can board the bus. I swear they only have 1 bus because it took about 25 minutes before we could get into one. (dahlah ada artist kan, manalah dia nak jalan kaki kesana ke mari).
(waiting for the bloody bus!)

Abang Aznil: " Two tickets for students ok". The rest are Lecturers.
Pakcik Bus: Hahahaha.

OMG that dude is funny. What you see and hear on TV, that is how he is. Did you know that he is 48 years old? OMG kan..he looks so young and he doesn't sit still, so energetic. I feel like the Nenek tua ok.

So Monte Carlo is beautfiul. My pictures may not bring justice to this place. But seriously, it was so gorgeous that you feel like " I wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy".

My brother and his colleagues.


The view from the top. Gorgeous.
The view outside of the Casino.
The famous Hotel De Paris where the Casino Royale 1983 was shot.
The famous Casino also where the movie was filmed.


Sigh. I could only admire the cars and the people going in and out of the Casino. Nasib dalam Islam cannot gamble, kalau tak.......berangan..duit pun takde, nak gamble apa Mimi oi???

to be continued.....
ps- happy birthday Aqim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Monte Carlo lyric's from Phyne Ballerz. Sumpah kelakar...

Hembusan bayu di Monte Carlo
Berharmoni mengiringi cello
Daku memberikan dikau kalor
Kau beli cinta... kuakur

( 2 )
Bawah purnama di Monte Carlo
Berdua berdansa rentak tango
Kita hidup ala mewah dan masyur
Kau belai jiwa... kuakur
