Greetings from NL! :) I've been here for 3 days already. My aunt's house is still under renovation but it's still nice! Will be even nicer after completion. Weather is very cooling as well.. actually quite cold la haha. But I've my cardigans and shawl so it's okay. Everything's been good except for 2 not so good (in fact kinda bad) incidents that happened on the first and second day.
First thing: I brought 3 cans of abalone over in my luggage for my aunt cuz she likes to eat it. My grandma bought 4 cans over. The officers checked our luggages before letting us step out to the arrival hall and had them confiscated! This is such a tragedy la! 7 cans in total! That mounts up to about 400SGD? It's okay if the officer were honest and did not keep those for themselves because it's really forbidden to bring meat stuff over and it's our bad that we bring such stuff but if he's gonna keep them for himself, I hope he trips and fall la! Dun think he even knows how to cook it. I'd rather the 7 cans be thrown away. Stupid shit! Well that's the very first bad thing that me and my grandma encountered.
The very first thing I spent my money on is not food but well.. a lottery ticket which is not cheap! It's 14.5Euros which is equivalent to 29SGD? Didn't mean to buy it but cuz my aunt and grandma were buying so I said I shall take a gamble too and it turned out to be so expensive haha oh wells.. The winning numbers will be known tmr, 10/6/08. Pray that I strike! Then I'll be rich! hahaha and I wun be so angry with the officer if I win. Bought was a pink polo tee from H&M on the first day too.
Second bad thing: Not very bad la. Shall not go into details though.
I pulled the weeds last night after dinner for more than 2 hours! I can be a certified weed puller already and it's kinda fun pulling those weeds and despite exerting energy, there was no perspiration at all cuz the weather's v cooling! There's a sense of satisfaction also. The sky turns dark at about 10 plus pm at night so dinner is eaten when the sky is bright. V weird hor?
Thanks those who came and send me off! I'll put some pics up asap. It's 9.44AM over here and 3.44PM in SG. I'm heading out soon! I'll be back! Miss me! :)
