Moved

I've moved, bye Peek a Boo. I'll miss you.

Here's my new vent outlet.

Bad Hair Day?

Can't get any worse than mine...

Rinsing my face,... norm... all I could hear was the splashing of water on my face.

Ten seconds later,... there was this strange sizzling sound next to my ear... weird.

Looked up in the mirror, and my hair was on fire, literally!!!!

How smart of me to place the aroma burner next to the basin....

Bad hair day? Can't get worse than mine.

Under the Weather

.
.

Liken my previous visit to Hongkong, I've caught another bug this trip.

Three days of nightmare, hopefully I'd be seeing a glimpse of sunlight after this.

The weather in Amsterdam is getting warmer by the day, more sunshine than any of the days since I've been here. And yet I'm trapped in the hotel, how sad you said? Nah, I'd be fine.

Side note, travelled up to Valkenburg last weekend for the Redbull Crashed Ice 2011. Bad idea.
We've only managed to catch a few heads swinging by the course.
As a hobbit, I've missed all the actions. Even with Cow being a massive 6"2 , he could hardly see anything. Hence no pix to show and tell for the event.

Weekend's on the way, planning to head down to Zaanse Schans. I've this thing for windmills. Might post some pix here if I'm not too butt lazy.

Inspired

It's not often a certain movie or drama can inspire or relate to its audiences.

Two days of drama marathon later, I missed my flute. I missed those times in school when I skipped extra lessons for practices. I missed that passion that I used to have for music.

A mere sixteen episode of drama, I'm driven again to embrace even more things that comes my way.

A lesson to take home from the drama "Life has chosen me, and I've chosen happiness". I hope to bear that sentence in mind for a long long time.

God Spilled a Bowl of Icing Sugar

... a very very large bowl of it.

Just wondering around the other day in the pure whiteness and chanced upon Bloesempark (Amsterdamse Bos) on the way down to Amstelveen, the sheer size of it is amazing.

Icing sugar? Snow on logs,... isn't that how Christmas log cakes came about? Staring at logs made me hungry, even snow on twigs reminded me of pretzels with icing on it... sigh. I'm such a glutton.

Christmas in Winter Wonderland

My first week into the cold weather here in Netherlands and am enjoying every minute of it.

Though we are not experiencing as much snow as England, which too much of anything could be a disaster, it's sufficient to build snowman and have a jolly good time throwing snowballs.

Spent five hours walking in the park/ snow today, everything from scenery to passerby, the atmosphere just felt so surreal and calm. As if it's hasn't been totally polluted by modernization.

Did I mention that winter's my favourite season? lol Guess it's not hard to tell.

Missing and Missing Outs

.
.
.

Mood: Sentimental/ Empty

Have I been away for too long? I welcome changes, we grow along side with changes. Some of us change for the better, few stays in the same spot.

Changes, one of my girlfriend's leaving next year... I can't help but start missing her already. Since I might be flying earlier than I thought, it would be less than a week of us being in the same country before her departure.

Despite feeling the void, I'm glad that she's finally taken on the challenge to further her studies. It contradicts that both the sense of sadness and happiness can both occur at the same time. Sigh.

Mood: Shitty

Missing out on a buddy's visit home end of this year, feeling shitty.

Though I've gotten used to being away from friends most of the time, even more reasons for me to hold on to our friendships even more dearly.

Friends, they watched me laughed, they watched me cry. They walked with me, shared memories with me. I can't imagine what I'd be without them.

There are some whom I'd only acknowledge as aquaintances, they passes by quietly.

There are some who leaves deep footprints, and those I acknowledge as friends.

Missing out on the departure and arrival of two friends, I'm more sorry for myself than to them. I'm sure they'd do fine without my presence, but I can't say the same for myself.

Goodbye G, and D, enjoy your trip home.

내 생각엔 당신이

Melancholy

最后一晚，丝毫有点伤感。

沉重的心情或许一阵子才能安抚。

窗外吹起带着雨味的风， 好舒服。

还没说再见， 我已开始还念。

悲 。。。


Finally its coming to the last night, the room just seemed to be overwhelmed with sadness.

Such a heavy heart might take some time to calm.

The smell of rain is soothing, it took my mind off the departure for a minute or two.

Though still here, yet I've started to miss.

Melancholy . . .

Aunt Rose makes me evil (and childish)

After my last entry, I'm convinced that it's fully justifiable slacking off for this entry,... pure rant and no photos.

Just like a mythical werewolf transforms every full month, when Aunt Rose visits, my predatory instinct surfaces, on the look out for a prey to insult/ vent my frustration. Can't seem to find much fault from the Cow today,....

A short conversation with Pea, it seemed that the person who's been making random comments on her most recent status on Facebook turned out to be her class' outcast. It doesn't take more prompting to find out that he's in fact the same numbwit who kept insisting that my sis had been having a crash on him back in school. A nerd with an ego too big for his head.

Pea was curious as to why I'm even entertaining his replies, when he clearly clings onto the slightest bit of attention given by anyone with an opposite reproductive system to his.

I've found my candidate. Thanks to this stunots, it made me feel like a class bully... ending the stream of spamming on Pea's status with sarcasm. Certainly the point was made, the thread ended after my last full stop.

Did I feel childish? Extremely. He just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. But at least that puts the Cow back into the safe zone, and I felt better releasing some stored frustration after all the cramps. It's not easy being Venus.

Hopefully this is not one of those karma thingy that comes back and bite me... This is the second person I've "offended" in such manner, all thanks to Aunt Rose.

Taipei Dogs

' Taurus are reliable, focused, practical, and usually right on time.'

Practical definitely a yes, judging that this batch of photos were backlogs from last Christmas, I'm not so certain about my other horoscope traits.

Taipei is an absolute heaven for dogs, owners being city dwellers love to bring their pooches everywhere they go. They get all the oohhhs and arhhs from passerby, many of canines gained frame overnight with people asking for a snapshot with them. All it takes is one person pointing the camera at any one of pooches to gain instant attention. As I found out, the moment after these photos were taken, the admirers just flocked in like bees to honey.

Next to Switzerland, this is the second country I've visited where dogs roamed freely off-leash. Many a times we thought we saw a stray, the next moment the owner turns up...

Once we saw a pooch in the wee hours of the morning, sitting by a road. Just as we wanted to grab it, it strolled back around the corner, down the alley back into this shabby looking shophouse.

Dog heaven it is, where they roam carefree.

Much unlike where we are at staying at the moment. Just this afternoon I was chasing and hunting down two little brats who threw stones at Yumi. She goes bonkers when the postman and garbage collector comes too close to the gate, and there she is sitting in the porch staring at these two monkeys throwing stones at her... and she's still smiling and wagging her tail. One might say that she's naive, but I choose to prefer the word "stupidity".

Hopefully those two won't be doing that anytime soon, while I'm still holding grudge against them. If not, with my last straw, I'll soon be dealing directly with their parents.
