Life goes on… in Amsterdam!

DCLers or APYers, whichever it is, I am sure you know what I mean if you are one of them. I had a really great time being with all of you, even though I met some of you for only less than 24 hours, but I was happy (still am, and will be in the future, thinking back of the joyous moment we shared). Really appreciate the time, the hospitality and not to forget the great food (including the plain rice :p), I am really grateful to have met you all in Liverpool! This blog is dedicated especially for you all, and most especially to Miss Leong Bee Hwa, hahaha…

Day 1 (31.07.2008)
My flight arrived very on time at the Manchester Airport, I texted Yee Chen, told her I will be seeing her soon, excited! Then hor, the bus which I am supposed to take to Liverpool was about 5 minutes late, but luckily still managed to reach Liverpool on time. Yee Chen picked me up with her cool blue car, she still looks more or less the same like how I remember her in my memory, but later I recognised she got a bit thinner than before (but still very good body shape, hehehe). She brought me back to her place, showed me my room, taught me how to played Mahjong (hahahaha), and then went shopping for grocery. After that we went to watch Transformers with her laogong too. After the movie we had dinner at Stanley, a casino fulled of Chinese! The food was so so tasty… yummie…

Vege, fish and prawns (another dish - 3 burn? ’sam siu’, came later, and the soup was at the other side…). That was the best chinese food (eat out) which I ever had ever since I came back here in April. Thank you Yee Chen and Sing Ko!

Day 2 (01.08.2008)
Yee Chen has to work the following days, so I’ve decided to move to Marybone, where my juniors (cum ex-students) stay, as the place is much closer to the city. So I watched Yee Chen worked in her shop in the morning, and then after lunch she droped me to Marybone. It was really nice of her

The first person I met (and waited) at Marybone was Bee Hwa. She forgot to bring her mobile phone with her la… ahahha… anyway, I was really happy to see her (because she owes me a sandwich, hahahaha, kidding). After settling down, we went out to the city because I wanted to go shopping, scared not enough clothes to wear in the following days, kesiannya… As the shops closed at 4p.m. (except for Thursday I think), so we didn’t have enough time la, take jadi to buy anything… But the happy part was, Michelle cooked me dinner that night! Here are some pictures…

funny ler…

lettuce and carrot (Michelle cut the carrot extra thin because we both don’t like the taste of thick carrot :p)

ginger chicken, taste good!

tom yam with fish, yummy!

potato and ham, tasty too…
It was really fun to see Michelle and bee Hwa preparing dinner, as I have been doing the cooking here until I got so ’sien’ sometimes :p

Day 3 (02.08.2008)
We wanted to rent a car and travel somewhere that morning, but no more cars were available for us that day. So we changed our plan and go for SHOPPING at Cheshire Oaks Outlet Park. Actually I was the one who wanted to shop, but after about an hour walking around, Bee Hwa and Michelle both bought something for themselves already, and I was still empty handed ler… tension, hahaha… In the end, we all got something! I bought a pair of boots from Clarks, a belt and short pants from GAP, a jacket from MEXX and a tie for Vik from Marks and Spencer. Didn’t really buy much because I wanted to wait and shop at Primark in London (thanks to Cheryl’s tip).

with Bee Hwa, posing with our shopping bags, hehehe…

after some hours of shopping, we were hungry and had fish and chips as our dinner.

Ok, time for me to go to sleep now, to be continued tomorrow…
