DAY 1 - Fascinating Amsterdam, Netherland

Euro trip begin on 3rd September and we were leaving Atlantic Point the night before. All of us had been waiting for this moment since the day we arrived. In another words we were here for trip instead of study. Just bear with us with our childish-ness.

A long day in the coach was truly suffering. After about 8-9 hours of driving by the coach driver, finally we reach at the port where we had to get into the ferries and cross the border and start our euro journey.

The sun makes me feel warm in the heart even though the weather out there was totally cold. I just feel lovely from it and hopefully the weather gona be good for the next 14 days.

Our first visit would be Amsterdam. A place that everyone know and talk about. I never really know what this place about but I am curious to find out.

I was amazed by their building with fascinating architecture. Maybe I never saw such great building before in my life. Who knows there were more to amazed me. I never knew Amsterdam could be like China. People were cycling instead of driving. So environmental friendly.

The first cruise that I had ever been to. I just love the view when I were in that cruise. People in Amsterdam was friendly in a way and some of them just love the water so much. They live in the boat and do everything in there and that's how they survive. How I wish I were in their shoes but I bet I won't last too long for that kind of life.






It was truly fascinating. One word to described it all. SUPERB. I know I'm too early to judge everything but that was how I feel for that particular moment when I was on that cruise.

After that, we head over to this particular factory that make cheese and also wooden clog. That's what people like chef and housewives wear in the kitchen in Amsterdam. It is for safety. Meaning people in Amsterdam were very particular in Health & Safety since decades ago. You can even personalize your own clog too but it takes time. You won't have time for that so just pick your size and the pattern that you like and go. That's the best choice.



Red light district is our next destination. A very popular place which you shall visit when you were in Amsterdam. We were not allowed to capture any photos when we were there. For those who don't know, this place is actually legal area for prostitution. It was like a box or a cube where the prostitute stands and wait for customer to nego about the price. They will either have sex with their window open or have their curtain close up. Too bad we din get to even got one to watch. Not our day I guess.


After a long day, we finally arrive at our hotel at around 10pm when we finally called it a day. We were waiting for a better trip the next day.

Angels & Demons

This is another great production after DaVinci Code. This is greater, excited and more knowledgeable movie. This movie is more to Christian history and all the ceremony and nevertheless famous place that Christian treat as honourable. I have nothing much to comment on this movie as I think from the beginning till the end the story was quite good. The flow is indeed smooth and connected. I did enjoy the time Tom Hanks search for clue to find the candidate popes where they were hide and the place they will get killed. There is so much excitement in it. My feeling was just like a roller coaster going ups and downs without knowing what would it be the next moment. I could only give two thumbs up for it. Don't believe what I said? Watch it yourself and you will know what I meant.

Photography

Recently, I am up to more nature photography. Those who know me well knows that I am always girl with my babe (camera) around. Non stop taking food places and something which is akward and new to my eyes. Nowadays I find out that the view out from my balcony and window is so tentative and fascinating that I did not realise before. Here are some shot that I had taken and I hope for some comment for my improvement in future! SUNSET FROM WINDOW VIEW For this picture, I take in two ways. a wish for brighter sky but somehow when I get the color of sky I want the light out from the blue cloud could not be seen clearly. Only when I set it to darker mode then the light out of the cloud could be emphasize out. LIGHT, SIGN OF BETTER DAY

YOU TIAO & JOHN KING TART

YOU TIAO is what we called in Chinese and ' YAO ZA GUAI ' is what Cantonese named it and this food is said to be origin from Cantonese people. This is one of the high demand food in Pavilion. It is simple, non-oily and reasonable in price. Their freshly made Tau Foo Far taste great and it is so smooth and doesn't have much of the bean taste which make people hardly love to eat them..... You Tiao - It is so crispy to eat just like that or you wanted to eat with their plain porridge would also be great because the combination of both makes perfect!!! Porridge - Their porridge is not so hardened or over watery. I guess that's the perfect way to describe. It is just alright and you can hardly see the rice but instead it is little sticky which a porridge should have.... After having that, my friend continuing exploring other food in the section. We go for the tart that had been very popular and keep mentioning by those who had ever had them. The legendary tart, ...
