Home Sweet Home~
0830 - Just reach home and unpack all my staff. Weird thing is i'm not sleepy at all so decide to write down where and what i have done in the past 1 week while i still remember...hehe
Day 1 ( 13 oct ) - went home straight after work ( damn shag but bo pian need to save some leave for dec ) took a cab to airport around 7 and had our dinner. At around 10 i finally got my boarding pass...phew~ lucky (0.0) V A/C : SQ 324-B777 depart at 2345 (spore time)

Aunts and uncles ~
Day 2 ( 14 oct ) - After 12 hours of flight, at around 0700 ( Amsterdam time ) Reach amsterdam airport.( holland second largest city ) Btw the time different is 6 hours so the time at singapore is around 1300 when i reach amsterdam. Dad and mum look almost the same after 3 years of parting( just that a bit more white hair...hehe ) Lucky they move the a new town nearer to amsterdam if not it going to be a one hour trip again.

After unpacking my laggage, Dad bring us to "Market"( only open on certain day only ) to shop for some fruits.the fruits there is really very cheap and FRESH and nice. But in holland having a car is very dangerous and expensive.the parking is very expensive and the speedlimt always change after few meters away( the police won't chase after u cause they will sent you a letter and ask you to pay your fine ).

Around 6 plus we went down to amsterdam.Dad went to get ticket for the match Ajax vs Groningen. Euro match is totally different from sleauge u really got to watch one match if you happen to visit any of the euro country. Anyway the match end with a happy ending 3-2...if not i think sure got fight one cause got a bit "kelong".

Public Toliet - Is just beside the road side with no cover, dun think sporean dare to do this...lol
Day 3 ( 15 oct ) - Visit to Amsterdam for some winko( shopping )...hehe only manage to learn a few dutchish. Thing theres really not cheap except food i guess. Amsterdam is just too big and dad also dunno wheres the LV shop so we took quite a while to find it.But Sunday they never open...@#!#!@#!. Before leaving Amsterdam dad show me the famous Window shopping but only 1 shop open and is opposite the other side. Either is becoz we go too early or maybe the tax too high...hehe. we got to leave the city a bit early because around 5-6 the jam will kill you.
