  • The past week I have been quite busy.
    Last monday I had aqua aerobics for the first time.
    I enjoyed it a lot, they were playing songs by
    Michael Jackson during the lesson, how cool is that?
    I met up with a friend and we saw the movie



    "The Rebound"

    Catherina Zeta Jones is still gorgeous! Look at her!
    She has a body to die for hehe.  The movie was ok,
    I guess I have seen a lot of romantic movies lately,
    so some stories are getting predictable.
    Last friday I went to a wedding of my bf's cousin.
    It was a long day with lots of food hehe.
    Yesterday I went shopping since it was
    "National Glamour Day", which means you could get
    20% off at selected stores with the dutch Glamour
    magazine. I bought a jumper and a top, not a lot I guess.
    I am leaving to Hong Kong in a week, the time really
    flies! I can't wait!
    For those of you who have been reading my blog, you
    might know how much I love Jill Stuart.
    I decided to take pics of my stash today.
    Hold on tight, so here it is!

  • This tuesday I met up with a friend of mine.
    We actually wanted to have dinner at Istana, but it was full, after that
    we tried Sumo, which was also full. I couldn't believe it,
    it was on a tuesday!  Anyway we had dinner eventually
    in a Greek restaurant. It looks quite modern, the food was ok.
    After dinner we went to the movie



    "Inglourious Basterds"

    I liked this movie and it wasnt that bad.
    I expected it to be much more bloody, but it was ok.
    The movie was actually quite funny.
    This week I recieved 2 e-mooks.
    One by Jill Stuart and one by Marc by Marc Jacobs.
    They both came with a gift, which are both very nice.

    The Jill Stuart mook came with a pink beauty case
    and a mirror. Both in lovely pink Jill Stuart print.
    The Marc Jacobs e-mook came with a cute tote bag,
    which is very handy.

    I love both of the freebies which came with the e-mooks!

  • Last sunday I went to a jazz festival.
    It is called Ijsseljazz. I went to see Room Eleven
    and I also got to see Boris to perform.
    I was glad to see Room Eleven again, but compared to
    Delft Jazz, I liked their performance in Delft better.
    I saw Room Eleven 2 years ago at the Delft Jazz festival
    and back then they sung the songs better.
    This time I barely could recognize the songs, they
    changed the songs so much, that it doesn't sound like
    the original anymore. I think that's a shame.
    I haven't heard Boris album, but he was amazing!
    His performance was great, loved all the songs
    and I should get his album sometime.
    I took a lot of pictures once again, why not right?
    I did buy that Sony Cybershot not for nothing,
    so I try to use it as much as I can.
    During the Ijsseljazz it rained though, which wasn't so
    nice, so when everyone opened their umbrellas,
    I could barely see a thing. You know how small Asians
    are compared to Dutch people hehe.
    Here are a few pics which I have taken of Room Eleven






    Here are a few pics which I have taken of Boris

  • Woah my life seems suddenly so hectic lately!
    I barely have a day off to really relax on my own.
    Compared 6 months ago, this is a huge difference.
    Back then I was home almost every night.
    Right now I try to swim and follow dru-yoga every week.
    For the rest of the days I have a lot of appointments
    with my friends. Since I am going to Hong Kong soon,
    I want to meet my friends before that.
    Time really flies, I will be in HK within a month.
    It feels surreal, because it seemed so far away,
    but it's getting closer and closer.
    Then I finally can use my new pink suitcase for the
    first time. It was my bday present as well, it's
    a big suitcase but in the color hot pink hehe.
    It will surely be easily recognized, that's for sure!
    Last friday me and a few friends went out to
    I Love Asian in Hollywood Rotterdam.
    I had a great time, drank a lot and we were so
    wasted hehe.  I kept laughing all night.
    Here are a few pics of the evening.






      
    "I Love Asian" party in Hollywood Rotterdam

    Last saturday I finally started following Mandarin
    lessons again after like a 10 year break, no kidding!
    I think it's quite interesting, I follow it every
    saturday for 3 hours. After school I went to the movie



    "G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra"

    I thought the movie was a lot better than Transformers 2.
    However there were some scenes in it which are not for
    the weak stomache (aka me!).
    I like Lee Byung Hun in the movie, he is amazing!

  • Today was the last day of my training.
    The 3 weeks of training went by so quickly!
    Tomorrow I will start with the real deal! Wish me luck!
    Hopefully I will get it right, if not I have always
    a few coaches which I can turn to, but of course it's
    the best if I can do everything on my own.
    Last week I followed a dru-yoga lesson for the first time.
    I enjoyed it and will be doing this more often.
    I never knew it would be so calming and peaceful.
    At a certain point I think I was away for a while!
    I think I fell asleep, but I am not sure.
    This monday I finally went swimming with a friend.
    I enjoyed it and might do this weekly.
    Yup I want to start 'sporting', I have been so lazy
    for the past few years. Ok sometimes I did Windsor Pilates,
    but never did it for long, but maybe it was cuz of the
    fact I did it at home.  So from now on I will follow
    dru-yoga lessons and go swimming weekly.
    Yup my new job is a lazy-a$$ job, which means I won't be
    leaving my seat often during the day.
    I am not doing it to slim down, but it's good to sport right?
    Lately I got a few new Marc Jacobs items. He is great!
    First of all I got a new wallet



    Marc Jacobs Gunmetal Mirror Heart Long Wallet

    This wallet is actually a gift which I got for my birthday.
    It is super handy I think, it is pretty big and roomy.
    I also love the color, which is gunmetal.
    Of course the shopaholic in me liked the billfold wallet and
    coin purse as well, so I bought these two to match my wallet.



    Marc Jacobs Gunmetal Mirror Heart Billfold Wallet

    The billfold wallet I use to keep my CC's, yup since
    it is pretty small it could not fit a lot of cards.
    So that's the reason I also bought a coin wallet.



    Marc Jacobs Gunmetal Mirror Heart Coin Purse Wallet

    The coin purse wallet has more room than the billfold wallet,
    so I put a lot of cards in it, together with some coins hehe...
    What else did I bought from Marc Jacobs?



    Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume set

    It comes with a 50ml eau de toilette,
    a body lotion and shower gel.
    I like the Daisy perfume a lot, but it's a pity
    that the scent doesn't last very long.
    What I also bought is a Daisy solid perfume necklace,
    it is pretty cute!  It also comes with a small golden pouch.

    At last but not least, I also got a Marc Jacobs
    Daisy tote bag!

    Ok that's it, no more MJ for the rest of this year hehe!

  • Last friday I went to a concert in Paradiso.
    It was a concert from Laura Jansen.
    Gosh she is so amazing!!!  I stood up front
    and took a lot of pictures hehe.
    After the concert she signed her new album
    "Bells" for her fans, how cool is that?
    Of course I bought a copy and let her sign it.
    A while back I bought her "Single Girls" single
    and posted a pic on twitter which she retweeted.
    When she was signing the album I mentioned it
    and she did remember me awww!!
    Here are a few pics I took of the concert.








    My signed copy of Laura Jansen "Bells" album



    I took a lot more concert pics, you can view them here:

    Today I went to the Cafe Paard van Troje.
    John C. Fraser was filming his video and
    I participated in it!  I am very curious to see
    his video! It was a lot of fun and I wonder how
    much you get to see me in the video haha!

  • Oops I have been lacking updates lately hehe!
    The past few weeks has been quite busy for me.
    Last week I started my new job at TNT Express.
    First I have 3 weeks training, so I get a lot
    of information. I got to know a few of the new
    collagues and they all are very nice and they also
    love to laugh a lot like me, which is a good sign right?
    But I am glad it's weekend, last week was actually my
    birthday! Yup time really flies. I was glad to see
    my friends again which I invited for my b'day.
    Here are some pics of me and my friends.
    Warning long picture post!



    Cupcakes and lots of yummy food!



    Me and my dear friends!



















    I had a blast, thank you all for coming!

  • I had an interview last thursday and I have a new job!
    I am so happy!  I never knew that I could find a new
    job so soon, but I am very happy that I did and of
    course I am very excited!  I will start next monday!
    Further last friday me and my bf had our 5 year
    anniversary. We went shopping and eating out.
    Last weekend I finally decided to buy the Wii.
    I wanted to buy it for a while now and I bought it.


    Nintendo Wii  

    Right now I don't have a lot of games yet, I have only bought



    Mario Party 8

    Still looking for other Wii games which I'm planning
    to get. On my list are the following games:

    Mario Kart
    Cooking Mama
    Bomberman Land

    I know all those kiddie games, but I like them.

  • Last week I spent a few days in Dordrecht with
    one of my best friends. It was my first time to explore
    the city. However I haven't seen it all of course.
    We decided to go up the tower of the Big Church.
    I had made a lot of pics, the view was very nice.
    During our visit a couple were having their wedding
    ceremony, which was quite special, but of course
    I did not took pics of them. They married on 07/08/09.
    I think a lot couples married on that day.
    Anyway here are a few pictures of the view of Dordrecht
    which I took on the top of the church.







    I also took pics inside the church




     




    The outer view of the church

     


    The days I spent with my friend and her family were
    so nice. They are all so friendly, really a warm family.
    We played the Wii, I love Mario Party!  I might consider
    buy a Wii as well, but not sure when hehe.
    We went shopping in Dordrecht which was nice,
    I bought a few items hehe.  By the way the weather
    was so hot last week!  I'm glad it cooled down a bit
    this week. It is actually raining today, but the plants
    and trees need some water as well.
    Meanwhile I am redecorating my room. I bought a new closet
    today and hope to get a new closet at the end of this month.

  • Last friday it was my last workday at Priva.
    It felt so surreal, I did not felt like it was
    my last day at all, but of course it was.
    I decided to bake a few cupcakes for a small group
    of collagues for my last day. I have worked at Priva
    since last year december, so quite some time.
    We usually eat a lot of birthday cakes of Multivlaai,
    so I decided not to buy another cake, since we have
    had that so many times, it won't be anything special right?
    I am a fan of Sex And The City and I have seen them eating
    cupcakes of the Magnolia Bakery for a few times.
    It's weird that it's not available in Holland.
    I always see muffins and brownies, but no cupcakes.
    I wanted to bake cupcakes for a while now and this seemed like
    the perfect timing to do so.
    It did cost me a lot of effort if I have to be honest.
    I decided to make buttercream to use as icing on the cupcakes.
    I bought a Wilton pastel icing colorkit and decided to
    give the buttercream a nice color. I mixed the icing color
    my self and it turned out to be the following colors:



    Mintgreen

     

    Babyblue



    Pink



    Peachy pink

    Aren't they cute?  This was my first time baking cupcakes,
    so I was very happy with the results!
    Plus the cake was yummy and the buttercream too!
    It was not very sweet at all, so I was very glad for that!
    I will be baking cupcakes soon again when it's my birthday!
