1 week has passed again.

So fast! It's my third weekend before I'm travelling again. This weekend still in Netherlands, hopefully not in Tilburg. Kyle and Dong Joo are having exams next Tuesday and they have been studying real hard so we can't go on day trips out together. So it seems like I should ask someone else. So we were suppose to have dinner at Selbi's place and I was expecting Turkmenistan food. But it turned out that Dong Joo did the cooking and Selbi did the dessert. Chocolate oats. It's quite yummy. On Saturday, I went to do grocery shopping with Kyle. We cycled to the market and we ate fried fish.. After that we went to the city center and had ice cream from Australian. It's a Dutch ice cream parlour and the remix flavours were superb. I tried the Almond and Hazelnut crush, and this time round we had the macadamia madness flavour. Equally good!

Then I cooked lunch. Fried rice.
I was invited to dinner at Pinja's place on Sunday so I cooked a pot of onion, potatoes beef soup because I didn't want to go empty handed. I didn't even know what I was cooking, but it turned out great. I added some chicken stock and lots of black pepper and the soup tastes fantastic.

Don't know why I look so wierd in this photo.
Pinja (left). I forgot the name of the girl on the right. Yikes..
Both of them are Finnish.
Maria Jose from Mexico. We had pancakes for dessert that night.
I can't remember his name too. Hard to remember la.. he's from Belarus and he studies in Moscow. But I just can't remember. Urgh.. I need to see a person's name to better remember it.
Ruslan, from Kazakhstan. We're in the same Dutch class.

I can't remember what happened on Monday, I think I studied the whole day preparing for the meeting on Tuesday. Then Tuesday I had a project meeting, discussed our assignments and went to play badminton in the evening. That day, I booked my tickets for my trips to Zurich, Berlin, Copenhagen and Stockholm. I'm excited and worried at the same time. First of all, I'm going to Copenhagen and Stockholm on 19th May, and I'll be back on 25th May. It's 4 days before my exam. Which means I'll have to study hard for it before I leave! And of course study hard for 3 days for the exam. I think it should be okay. I'll attend almost all the lectures anyway. Then the next worrisome thing... when travelling from Zurich to Berlin, I will transit at Bern and the layover is 4 hours.. 2am to 6am. What a torture to myself. 4 hours out in the open! I hope it'll be safe.

On wednesday Celine cooked chicken rice. So I went over and the chicken rice tasted like mine when I did it from scratch. Then I realise, the short cut method is really easier and tastier, just put everything into the rice cooker...

Spent my Thursday morning finishing my assignment, and spent the afternoon cleaning the WHOLE flat. I washed the cups and plates, brought the trash out, vacuumed the house, mopped, cleaned the stove, did my laundry then went to the city centre for coffee with clarisse and celine. We went to check out this coffee place called cappuccino & muffins. Reminds me of Front Row. Nice place that sells clothes on the second level and food on the first level. It has been a sunny week and the temperature went up to 20+ degrees!




We went back to my place and I cooked Bak Kut Teh for dinner. I finally cooked my Prima packet. It's DELICIOUS. Haha. I want more prima packets!!



Today it's 25! Just like in an air-con room. I've always wondered how Singapore would feel if the outdoors were air-conditioned. I guess today I found my answer. I cycled to school wearing a long sleeve t-shirt, and a thin vest. Shiok! Don't know what I'm doing this weekend yet. I think I should go to Utrecht. I haven't gone there yet, should do it while the sun is out.
