My Holland Trip....

Sorry guys for the delay … but finally the long awaited blog of my trip to Holland is finally published !!!! Our journey to the Netherlands started off in two separate flights – one was delayed due to technical issues arose from the supposed-to-be carrier. Luckily for me and Simon ( my boss), we get to board the flight on time….( Luckily i'm not that ys..... haha... somebody "terasa" already....) It took us about 13 hours of flight to reach the Netherlands. Once we arrived Schippol Airport, we rented a 9 seated van to Amsterdam.



Okay.... some info about Holland.... Holland in general, is famous of its unique architectures, entertainment perks, space cakes, Sex and tulips ( it's a flower you idiot... just in case if you dunno ). Well, Heneiken beer was made there and probably that's why beers over there is cheaper than drinking water. Yeah...the people use to say, never say you've been to holland if you've not been to the red light district ( why red light...? should be green rite.... GO go go ! ). Too bad i can't take their pictures because i didn't dare to risk my camera to be snash by some guy who's patrolling the area.... Along the road, you'll get to see seductive young girls waiting for you to patron them ... (poor michelle.... she was suddenly an outcast at that time... ) . They are so attractive that 1 of my colleague almost bump face to face with an incoming stranger !!! However.... in some lonely alleys, you get to see some who are desperate and uglier than my grandma.... oh... may god have pity on them.... ( trying to be an angel now huh...? ). By the way, if you're in holland looking for red light district, Look for that road sign picture i caught below....

Apart from that, the locals there like to cycle as their preference of mobility around the town and there are about 300,000 people cycle in holland just to get to one place to another. They seldom use cars as public transport like trams ( a type of bus-like-train on the road), trains and busses are sufficent and much more convenient.



As Simon and i arrived earlier to Amsterdam, we decided to drive to the capital city and go for a stroll and breakfast.








During our stroll, we get to see some unique or probably weird things around such as ......
a kenari combo with smart-for -2 car, a shoe made as a boat, toyota felt that making cars for the netherlands was unwise...., Coca - cola thought that dwarfs were used to sent their goods, humans trying to remind God that they made CLOTHES !!! , a "slow" sign for cars that is ready to be knocked down for Asian drivers like us, i'll fail my spelling if you ask me to spell "toilet paper" in holland and you'll never see Hockien tourists around and you know why..... Those were just some of them i could get into my camera for viewing.... ( by the way, the cans of drinks ..... are just cans of drinks .... haha...)







So deducting all of the weird pics , the only normal picture remain........ is my picture. Why? i was only trying to mingle with the weirdos..... ( I know what you want to say .... but just keep it to yourself ok..... )

Then, once we reached the hotel, to my amaze... i had a great view from from my room.....
The river u look in that picture is not a river.It's the sea .... Actually, Holland is a below the sea level country... And you even can see ships passing in front of my room too....








A kiasu breakfast to kick start my day....




The Hotel itself is just within walking distance to my partner's office..... So, along the way get to see a lot of things too....





Once reaching the office ... that's the place that i worked for the week.... ( Sorry for being bored at my elaborations here....But at least you won't spent so much time on my crap )
















Lunch was all bread .... and most of the time they are served stone-harded.... Almost got my jaws out just by eating them..... Nevertheless , they still taste tasty.....





However, dinner was great and red/white wine was served to us almost every night untill i had to say ," just give me an orange juice please...." - i like the last desert... it was exquisite....









On our fourth night, Hans ( the white guy and the CEO of the company ) brought us around
to see the night life of Amsterdam.... That's when i was brought to the red light district ( i really wished i had four eyes at that time.... can let them do multi-tasking... hehe )











As the week of our training ends.....


Since we still had some time.... We went for a stroll again.... but i didn't managed to find the "I Am Sterdam" place to take picture.... damn.... ( my only regret i guess... only huh...? haha, i know what you're gonna say.... just keep it to yourself .... Keep it to yourself....)




As we boarded our flight back to Malaysia, we get to meet some new malaysian friends too ... and create the backbenchers team at the tail of the plane pissing a lot of stewardess and passengers.....

Finally.... get to get some rest after a whole week of tiring work.....

Oh.... So... So.... Soooo Gay man.....
