Kim Kardashian robbed at gunpoint in Paris apartment

“Life of Pablo” rapper Kanye West canceled his concert (mid-song) at the Meadows Festival in New York Sunday night citing a family emergency and didn’t give further details. Concertgoers were upset naturally not knowing West’s wife, Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint in her Paris apartment in a robbery.

According to MSN..
The 35-year-old reality star went through a horrific ordeal on Monday (03.10.16) when five thieves dressed as policemen robbed her at gunpoint in her apartment in Paris, during which they tied her hands with plastic handcuffs, duct taped her, and stole more than $10 million worth of jewels, and Pascal Duvier (her bodyguard) - who was out with her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian - is adamant the culprits will be found.

Police sources have revealed Kim was tailed by two men in the days before the robbery, with the suspects - described as Caucasian and North African and having French accents - posing as a plain-clothes detective and a photographer to gain 'close surveillance' information ahead of the terrifying incident.

And one had even tried to gain access to the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star's apartment within the exclusive Hotel Pourtales.

A source said: "Kim Kardashian was tailed for at least three days before the robbery.

Kim Kardashian back after being held at gunpoint in $10 million Paris robbery

Some excepts:

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian returned to New York "badly shaken" on Monday after being robbed at gunpoint in her Paris residence by masked men who stole some $10 million worth of jewelry from her.

Kardashian, who has two young children with husband-rapper Kanye West, was not beaten but the robbers put a handgun against her temple before tying her up, the source said.

The robbers stole a box containing jewels worth 5 million to 6 million euros ($5.6 million to $6.7 million) and a ring worth about 4 million euros ($4.5 million), the Paris police source said. As news of the robbery spread, West abruptly ended a performance in New York less than an hour into his set on Sunday night.

The Paris apartment block is a discreet building behind the city's Madeleine church, with several secret entrances, often frequented by movie and music stars who pay up to 15,000 euros ($16,800) a night. The source said the attackers fled on bicycles.

The robbery set social media alight, with some users making fun of the latest headline-grabbing event in the life of a TV star who documents her life continually on screen and on social media.

James Corden, the host of U.S. talk show "The Late Late Show," said on Twitter, "People making jokes about @KimKardashian tonight would do well to remember that she's a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend. Be nice or shut up."

Shoppiing in Bali, Indonesia


Source: Wikipedia

Bali was where a colleague escaped to for a good few days of R and R. She and her group stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel at the Kuta area. They were even taken by their guide to where the Bali bombing took place back in October 12, 2002. Today, Bali is back to her bubbling, busy self with tourists flocking back in droves for its relaxing and touristy atmosphere.

She came home a happy camper, her biggest shopping haul being the five paintings that she bought at prices unheard of here in Malaysia. Cause for celebration for her, naturally. Only thing is she had to remove the paintings from the frames citing she won't be able to get them on board the plane. Pity.

She brought back a lot of gifts for friends and family. She gifted me with a carved wooden bangle. It's red, exactly what I was looking for. It looks quite like the one in the picture here.

She has promised she'd invite us to her home once the paintings are up on the wall. Can't wait.

Shopping Tip - If you are going to Bali, leave ample room in luggage for shopping. You won't regret it.

Beautiful Push Presents to Warm Your Wife's Heart

Ever heard of push presents?

The Wikipedia says:
A push present (also known as a "push gift" or "baby bauble") is a present a new father gives a new mother when she gives birth to their child. In practice, the present may be given before or after the birth, or even in the delivery room. The giving of push presents has supposedly grown in the United States in recent years.

I say that is a good practice for fathers all over, wouldn't you agree?

Now that you know what a push present is, personalized push presents are readily available online when the time comes. One site I came across is Redenvelope.com. They have beautiful and elegant push presents any mom would love.

Now that she has given you your first-born, it's your turn to give her twins. These Pearl and Diamond earrings, I mean. What were you thinking?

Titanium rings and stuff people leave behind in restrooms

The things that people leave behind in restrooms! At the office the other day, someone left behind a handphone. This is rather common, I mean there have been many instances of things being left behind or unattended. We have found ladies purses, spectacles. ballpens, watches, hairbands, calculators, phones to name the common items. Not forgetting rings. Yes, rings too.

Talk about rings, did you know that titanium rings are gaining popularity? Titanium is silver in color, has a low density and is strong, lustrous, and corrosion-resistant. You can find a vast selection of titanium rings available - with gold inlays, stone inlays, diamond accents, and special finishes. Pretty! Some samples below I found online.
