Gabby

Meet Gabby.  

We had our first crash on the road, on the first day.  Right smack in the middle of the tram way.  Blamed the guy who parked his van along the street.  My wheel got stuck in the tram line but thank god i suffered no major injury.  I thought i might have a bad knee because it hurts a little but i escaped with some scratches.  I am lucky, must be some angels watching over me. :-)

14 more hours

One more day,  

To be precise, 14 more hours, i can officially move to my new apartment.  I go to bed, wake up, and i will be heading to my new home.  Finally a pad of my own.  How cool.

My stuffs are in, they were delivered in the afternoon.  My dresses were unpacked and hung up.  Wow.... i saw the familiar varieties, can't wait to sort them out properly.  My lifeline is here!  :-)))

Yippee!

What!

I am finally moving out in 3 days.  I realized it is easier to unpack then pack.  Though i have only stayed for 3 weeks (how time flies), the number of items I have has increased.  The washing powder, the perishables, new laptop bag... I wish for a helping hand.

Just as i typed, received a call from the front desk that i have to shift out of my room because there is a leakage and there will be no warm water and possible blackout!  Gosh, it's already 10pm and can't that happen after 3 days?  MY GOD!

Now i am upset, gotta go.  :-(((

Keukenhof

Another sunny, lovely day and indeed Spring is coming. 


Try heading to Keukenhof during April-May, you will enjoy array of colours in the heavenly earth garden.  Indulging and soaking yourself in the sun, the flowers and the blue skies - Nice!  


You can also rent a bicycle to ride through the flower fields- panorama view on rows of Yellow, Red, Pink & Purple Tulips.  Find a nearby alfresco cafe and enjoy a nice hot cuppa. Then cycle to the beach to catch some salty sea air.


What a perfect afternoon!


PS: Greetings from The Netherlands!

Haarlem

Today was a lovely day, sun hanging in the sky except for the chill from the wind.  This country can never be without the wind and probably explained the number of windmills around.  Otherwise day would have been perfect.


We drove to Haarlem, so what did we do there?  Shopping!  


On a serious note, Haarlem is a smaller town, quite nice & less crowded.  Approximately 40 mins drive from Amsterdam city.  Everybody is sitting alfresco, enjoying the sun.  Wherever the sun is shinning, you see people sitting.  It is hilarious because in Singapore, everybody is avoiding the sun.


What one abundance might be another treasure.


Hey tropical fishes, cherish the sun!

Back to Civilization

I am back to civilization, i feel connected to the world again!  


Feeling so happy like a little child who is holding a fancy toy, i am back with my iphone where whatsApp, MSN, Skype, Tango & Words are working again.  I am thrilled!  :-)))


It was a note from Miffy who spurs me to get a personal line with unlimited access to internet immediately.  I am glad i wrote last night.


Gosh, it has been so long.


I am a happy bird!  :-)

From a lovely Friend


I received a lovely card today and there it is sitting on my desk.  Such a thoughtful card which brings warm to me instantaneously.  It travels around the world before it lands in my hand.  What a pleasant surprise.  It carries the sunshine and a familiar touch.  Thank you my dear friend.  You are greatly missed.
