Here i m...back in Amsterdam again...i think amsterdam is one of my fav. stations now....or perhaps its becos of the company tat i have...it doesn't matter where u r of u have gd company...well...Day 1 wanted to see the Mudaradam aka 'miniature world'....however lunch at this thai restaurant was rather draggy so in the end decided to juz walk by the river...




xian wen and me


allison and me...this pic look like some camera advert sia..lol~


While walking along the canal we saw pple who were on this cute little peddle boat so we wanted to had a go at it too...took us quite a distance to finally find the boat kiosk....





hydi on the right trying to manaveour the boat


4 of us in ams!

Alrite next was something i rilly wanted to try in the City of Drugs! but always never dared to try cos no one wanna try but thanks to the fun company that i had...we bought a pack of magic mushrooms to try




we bunk into the same room n took the mushrooms!!! The seller recommended us to take 3 mushroom each but each pack had 6 n there were 3 of us...therefore we took 2 mushroom each instead....the effect was sensational!! initially we tot we were con becos we waited abt an hr and there was no effect of feeling high or illusional...den suddenly everything ard me amuse me n i started laughing at the slightest comment....i simply cant stop laughing n it was rilly very fun!!!!! who says u need alcohol to feel high??? Unfortunately for hydi n xian wen the effect din rilly kick into them n they behave normal...maybe they ate too little mushrooms...





2nd day had lunch at a cafe near the hotel...ordered pancakes with ice cream...but seems more like prata with ice cream...look how huge the pancake is!!!




we finally found the Anne frank museum which we failed to do so on day 1...Little did we realise tat it was at the boat kiosk which we rented the boat...wat the hell???


Headed to sex museum after our visit to anne frank.....

Me n hydi at Madame tussaud musuem


SEX Musuem!!!!


















this is rilly CCB!!!


A nude photo to end of this post of my wonderful experience in AMS...Ams reminds me of the movie Harold & Kumar (escape from guantamo bay)...

Christchurch is one of my desired country to visit becos of the sightseeing places u can visit....Initially the FO, Yuhan n me wanted to sightsee at hitmer springs...we have already plan to rent a car the next day but becos yuhan cldn't wake up the next day so our planned trip was cancelled....so there we were meeting up for lunch n walking ard town instead...


Christchurch cathedral juz outside our hotel



Yuhan the taiwan stewardess


Nightview of the cathedral


Some random pics by the lake


The statue of the first man to conquer the north pole


Inside the cathedral...funny thing was that we thought no pictures r allowed in the cathedral but upon walking out of the cathedral we saw a sign that stats if u buy the brochure for juz 2 dollars u can take pictures inside the cathedral...so i bought brochure which entitle us to snap pictures inside.

2nd time to NRT...however i had a longer stay this time rd....3 clear days in NRT!!! many pple say i strike jackpot in getting this pattern becos its very hard to comeby....therefore 1st day i headed to shinjuku on my own to shop for stuff...got lost in shinjuku becos of the directions the local there gave me...brought me to hilton tokyo instead of hilton shinjuku which i wanted to go....argh....gave up looking for it n went to shibuya to look for burberry black label...







After a long day of walking i decided to have beef udon for dinner...yummy...cheap n nice...found this restaurant along the streets of shibuya..one bowl like this cost me abt S$8 which is considered cheap for their standards there...



2nd day the crew n i decided to sightsee at Hakone which is abit 6 hrs train ride from Narita...its a place with Hotsprings and local pple there visit the area for leisure and relaxation...

connie,val n I on the train...Had to transfer to another train which takes us to Hakone


Takeaway yoshinoya to eat onboard the train...doesnt taste very impressive to me tho






Saw their local Cemetry along the way

Here we are at the main entrance of Hakone

Me bbqing their local food




cedar trees walk-thru

Hui,me, connie, val on the cable car which takes us to the top Hakone hill







Black ash eggs (boiled in sulphur) , supposedly good for longevity


It happen to be their hungry ghost festival...therefore we were lucky to catch fireworks at Hakone....fireworks was the longest i seen....last 1/2 hr....imagine the amt of fireworks they use man....watch until sian sia...

we rent a guest house for the nite at Hakone....5 of us squeeze into the room...slping on 'tatame'

Making a welcome drink for us and setting up the matress


even supply us a set of yukata to wear to slp...not too bad for a S$80 a nite at this guest house...good deal compared to other resorts in the area which cost abt s$300 per person


On the way back to the hotel we had very fresh sashimi at narita station to end our trip...overall it was an excellent place for holiday...great place to juz chill out with frenz....however the journey to Hakone is very texing becos of the long journey there...i wldn't wan to travel 6 hrs there n 6 hrs back again...good experience tho :)
