Last weekend I went to the Bijenkorf.
I was hungry and had a chocolade truffle cake.
After that we headed to the Nespresso counter.
It was very crowdy there, apparently there are
lots of Nespresso lovers hehe.
They made a cappucino for us with the Roma grand cru.
I quite liked this grand cru and decided to buy it.
I also bought the Arpeggio, Rosabaya de Colombia and
Finezzo Lungo.
 

Espresso "Arpeggio"

 
Espresso "Roma"
 

Pure Origin Espresso "Rosabaya de Colombia"


Lungo "Finezzo Lungo"
 
With my new Nespresso I actually recieved
different grand crus, so I can try them all out.
But I wanted to buy some extra ones as well.
Currently I have tried to make cappucino's and
lungo coffee at home, it tastes very good.
I am very curious about the other tastes..
I also want to learn to make latte art.
On the internet I have seen a lot of latte art.
on serveral websites and I really want to make
those beautiful illustrations too!

Talking about gadgets, I have made another purchase
this week, it's a Nespresso coffee machine!
In the past I have considered buying a coffee machine,
but I did not knew which one to buy.
I heard not many good things about the Senseo,
so I am glad that I did not bought one.
I have always liked the Nespresso, especially the
colorful cups are so cute!  I have tried a cup of Nespresso
a few months ago and I really liked it. I tried the golden cup.
I don't remember the name, but will learn about the different
kinds very soon I think. The Nespresso is still at my bf's place,
cause he got it for me and also bought one for himself.
So this coming saturday I will finally have my own Nespresso!
I will check out their cups as well, I wonder how many different,
cups there are. If you are living in Holland and don't have a
Nespresso yet, you should get it! It's very cheap now at the
Mediamarkt, you only pay 90 euros for the Nespresso and you
can get 50 euros back from Nespresso, which means that you
only have to pay 40 euros for the Nespresso! Great deal right?

Last saturday it was the premiere of the Jimmy Choo line for H&M.
I never had stand in the queue before for the designer launches of H&M. Maybe it was because I always had to work back then.
This time the launch was on a saturday, so I had time to pay a visit.
I saw a really beautiful clutch which I wanted and my cousin also wanted a pair of heels and a scarf.
So I stood in line in the early morning for both of us.
I arrived at the H&M just before 7am and there were already 40 people in the queue!
It amazed me, I never expected that there would be so many people
in front of the H&M in the early morning, but apparently there were lots of fans of Jimmy Choo. The employees of H&M gave us a paper bracelet, because we were one of the first 160 customers who stood in the queue.
I got the bracelet for the 3rd group, which means I could enter the bags, shoes and accesoires department at 10.15.
The door opened at 9.30, so I still had to wait a few more hours.
The employees gave us a copy of the Grazia magazine and we also could drink some champagne, but who would like to drink that at 8 am?  So of course I turned down the offer.
The staff also gave us a coupon to buy 1 item with 20% discount,
which was excluding the Jimmy Choo items of course.
Suddenly it started to rain and I had no umbrella with me.
Luckily the staff of H&M gave us free umbrellas.
When the door opened at 9.30 all the fans were screaming!
It was very bizarre, I mean it was not like that they are meeting a celebrity! I think the people went a bit crazy there hehe.
Because I still had to wait 45 minutes I decided to take a look at the
other items. I went to the male department with the Jimmy Choo line,
but I did not saw anything. special. I checked out a few other items,
I saw a black fake fur coat which I really liked. I actually wanted the beige version of the jacket, but they didn't had my size.
In the H&M some people approached me and they wanted me to grab a few items for them, because they did not got the paper bracelet and I did what they asked. Finally at 10.15 I could enter the bags, shoes and accesoires department.
I bought the items for my cousin and got the star clutch for myself.

I grabbed a few items for the other girls who didn't had the bracelet.
They were very happy that I helped them. I thought it was no big deal actually.  In the afternoon I went back to the H&M and I also bought a pair of blue Jimmy Choo heels. I could not resist hehe.
I thought that it was very beautiful, although the heels are very high,
12 cm to be exact. But hey who can resist a pair of Jimmy Choo's for 100 euros?  It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I decided to buy it.

I also bought the black fake fur coat and a pink tutu of H&M.

I am very happy with my new purchased items.
I will blog more about my recent purchases, but these are
my H&M Jimmy Choo purchases for now hehe.

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

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
