After resisting for half a year, I have finally caved to the calls of technology. I’m now on twitter! The world has become quite a scary place hasn’t it, with all of these advances. All talk is done in snippets online, and in a public domain. So much so that we don’t even feel the [...]

journey to europe — netherlands the hague
Posted in travel chronicles, tagged europe, fun, life, personal, photos, travel on October 29, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I wonder why I’m still writing about my Europe trip when it had happened eons ago (oh give me a break, it’s only 3 months!) I guess it’s to cheer my otherwise drab and dreary life at work. Bah. Had a hoot of a time at Madurodam, a place that has all the typical Dutch [...]

To the beach we go! It was sunny, the perfect weather for a walk along the shores and lazing around at the beach. And it really was beautiful, with bright blue skies, sea gulls flying low, the sands sprawling wide, dotted with speckles of red and yellow clam shells (to rest beneath it) and people [...]

Sigh I miss Europe. I liked Utrecht; it was small and unobtrusive, quiet and unassuming. Went to the flea market to shop around and have some fried mussels (which I looove, if not for the calories), and then headed to the organ museum. If you think it’s a stuffy one with stifling and towering old [...]

What is Netherlands without the classic windmills and the wooden clogs? This day we set out to hunt down that cursed place with windmills, which admittedly, was a memorable but torturous ordeal, a day I coined – run Lola (Joy) run! Yes it was on this day that I ran like never before; ran like [...]
journey to europe — netherlands delft

Delft –one of those endearing, antiquated small cities that I love about Netherlands, where you see rows of narrow streets lined with trees, historical bricked terraces, duck-filled canals and bridges spanning across them at every step. I love it; it’s tiny and very pretty, kinda like the little daughter of Amsterdam, thus far untainted by [...]

A trip out to Artis, Amsterdam’s zoo! It’s pretty much no different from Singapore’s, except smaller. I actually think Singapore’s zoo is bigger, better and has more variety like gardens and ponds, but a good thing about Artis is that I managed to pet the goats and chase fat chickens! And also the weather was [...]

On to the next episode of my Amsterdam travels – don’t worry it isn’t going to trail on to part number 1294 before I’m done, I’ll get a move on to the rest of the cities very soon; it’s just that I tend to prattle nonstop about Amsy because it’s just so pretty! And serene! [...]

It appears that I’m making blogging my full time job. Sigh. Well on to more cheerful stuff – more snaps of my favourite city. A better view of the royal palace and new church, a random hand on a breast nestled within the cobbled grounds of the red light district (hereby shortened into RLD), a [...]

Cycled by a morning market selling blocks of cheese, freshly baked bread, fish, vegetables and other forms of produce on my second day. Was pretty intrigued by the whole set up – it was straight out of those English story books that we read about, where English grannies go to market with a brown woven [...]

Was in Netherlands for two weeks and Amsterdam is my absolute favourite place to be. Can’t gush about it enough – Quirky 18th century red bricked terrace houses that lean forward and to the sides, Canals that span across the city with trails of houses at its bay, Canal bike rides at dusk, Bright dashes [...]
