I AMSTERDAM

arrived to a -1 degree weather. Was huffing and puffing out smokey as i talked and i felt like i was in a freezer for the next few days.


Despite the chilly weather, i went to North of Amsterdam and visited the town of Edam and tasted some cheese there. Then i went on to see windmills. It was uber cold as it was extremely windy. At night i visited the Amsterdam Red Light District and saw the girls in the aquarium, skimpily dressed in winter.. Fwah.. Don't they feel cold? Anyway most curtains were drawn.. An exercise to beat the cold i suppose. I walked past several coffeshops too where cracks are available, legally..







A WC in the middle of walkway



Next day, i went to Van Gogh Musuem.. I'm touched by the brotherly love between Theo and Vincent. Then i went on the Sex musuem.. Erotica!!!!

Look at the toilet seat covers carefully. Both are actually POV (point of view) from the bowl. Interesting!

7 days in porky-free lands

Am back from Dubai and Istanbul.. In Dubai, i ventured to a new mall, festival City. There's a Marina just outside the mall and it offers a nice view of the sunset.

my new pair of boots from Dubai

The next stop was Istanbul, aka Con-men land.. Everyone there seem to make a living out of conning.. We were conned when changing Euro or USD to Lira, when taking a taxi back from Blue Mosque, booking a tour and also when buying dinner at MacDonalds.... But i got to go Blue Mosque. Was heart wrenching to see that its former self was obviously a Catholic Church. I got a little emo and I stood in the middle of the courtyard and prayed.. But when i was back, Pauline assured me that that was nothing but a physical structure. It's the people who are the churches. Praise Lord and i felt better instantly. :)

Dunno what's the green plate abt but the colour doesn't go with the buildings.. bad bad colour co-ord

Ayasophya

When our set of crew touched down, we made an elegant dash to the food court for some good minced pork noodles and char siew noodles! Yummy! :)

Weekend filled with weddings!

Back from Bangkok nightstop (where i happened towork with Jason's gf, Doreen) and went for 2 wedding dinner; Alex and Jazz, followed by Pamela and Steven..

The 3 of us have not taken a photo together for soooo long!

The beautiful couple. :)

Auckland with Sondi!

I think it's unanimous our favourite place gotta be AKL's DFS, Gucci.. We were in the small shop for quite a while. Of course, some form of harm was done but it was worth it cause Gucci's quite a bit cheaper there for us than in SIN. So end result? 1 bag each. :)
When Sondi and I went to withdraw cash for our bags, we were given a stack of $20 notes.. It looked like we broke our piggy bank for the bags.. We are an embarrassment..

These $20 notes add up to NZ$2000


We had dinner at a Korean 'Streamboat' Buffet.





The next day i went to town again on my own and bought a cheap cheap pair of Wooly boots!! :)
