How on earth i ended up going Amsterdam with them? 3 guys and 1 girl in Amsterdam? Hmm.. i really don't know..but they were great companies! If you think you know them well, think twice! trust me, they revealed their inner sides that ppl have not seen before...haha..sounds scary huh? Nah..jk...they were just really crazy ...blame the drugs? maybe...<br /><br />So, let me tell u about our journey...first, we didn't sleep the night before . Guess what we were doing?The boys started drinking, gossipping and even played TABOO! how kiddy huh? Funny part was, Cmingo and Jaycen were paired up and they didn't get to score a point in the first round! As usual, they ended up arguing and blaming each other on their limited vocabulary..~shake head~ This is a typical scene u would see everyday ~ oF COUrse, Ray and I beat them flat in the first round..hehe..but later it was the reverse...they beat us flatter than a dutch pancake..arghh...<br /><br />We landed in Amsterdam Schipol International Airport at 9.30a.m. I was impressed with the airport- it was like a shopping centre in there! After collecting our luggage we made our way to the city which took us 20 mins by train.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2890/1763/1600/DSC05931.1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" height="244" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2890/1763/320/DSC05931.1.jpg" width="320" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2890/1763/1600/DSC05932.1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2890/1763/320/DSC05932.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />~in the airplane to Amsterdam~<br /><br /><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="240" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2890/1763/320/DSC05935.1.jpg" width="31" border="0" />~On the train from Schipol Airport to Amsterdam CEntral~ (it was a double decker train..cool) </p><p><br />Amsterdam..wow...so many canals..163 with 1000++ bridges! Basically the whole city is built on water. Let me explain why this country is called "The Netherlands". It simply means "Low Land" and this country has no mountain at all! Serious, try to look afar and u see nothing blocking at all! impressive huh? </p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2890/1763/320/DSCN6495.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>After checking in at our hotel, we decided to go to a market nearby but unfortunately it was Easter Monday and it was closed.

Hmm.. I thought they were just displaying her diary during the WWW II written in German! - which none of us could decipher. ..sigh...Therefore, we, being the stingy fellas, we decided to forgo it and went for PANCAKES!! yum yum.. it was just 15 mins after our breakfast and we were gonna eat again. =)Surprisingly, the pancake shop was not opened and yet there was already a queue!! ARgh...why?? despite that, we still jumped into the queue and waited patiently... Apparently this shop produces the best Pancakes! ....hmm 5 mins passed...10 mins...15...mins..heard Ray complaining about the shop "jual mahal"...Cmingo joined in the session with Ray...and i looked behind me, the queue actually got longer.. FINALLy, a man came out from the shop ..explaining to us that they were experiencing some technical problems and only would be able to start business an hour later..."what the?" Technical problems in a pancake shop?? how odd... </p><p> </p><p></p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2890/1763/1600/DSCN6498.jpg"></a><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by ^yViNn3^ @ <a href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/2006/04/amsterdam-trip.html" title="permanent link">12:53 AM</a></em> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-14242081"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=18102217&postID=114566755650076921&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div>   <div id="comments"> <a name="comments"></a> <h4>0 Comments:</h4> <dl id="comments-block"> </dl> <p class="comment-timestamp"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/18102217/114566755650076921" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'bloggerPopup', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=400,height=450');return false;">Post a Comment</a> </p> <p id="postfeeds">Subscribe to Post Comments [<a target="_blank" href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/feeds/114566755650076921/comments/default" type="application/atom+xml">Atom</a>]</p> <p class="comment-timestamp"> <a href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/"><< Home</a> </p> </div>  </div></div>   <div id="sidebar"><div id="sidebar2"> <h1 id="blog-title"> <a href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/"> ^MacHead eats an aPPle A day^ </a> </h1> <p id="description"></p>  <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrI7moWFtQ3qmhbTvm34jcPJwMWLl7PlZV7hwWiMvM14ErdyOu90rBl7FWZAvxxGevv7AgpTZ6FtS0BSjd3AtNzh6vK7JfoKq7RotFIsnJSj8mY6CHJoHtyJ3PXOTWJ5KW8xbtwQ/s100-h/250px-Apple_Computer_Logo.svg.png"><img style="display:block; margin:00px ; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrI7moWFtQ3qmhbTvm34jcPJwMWLl7PlZV7hwWiMvM14ErdyOu90rBl7FWZAvxxGevv7AgpTZ6FtS0BSjd3AtNzh6vK7JfoKq7RotFIsnJSj8mY6CHJoHtyJ3PXOTWJ5KW8xbtwQ/s220/300px-Apple_Computer_Logo.svg.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209841644969700994" /></a> </span></div>   <script language="javascript"> var chatterbox = 'no'; </script> <script language="javascript" src="http://chatter.flooble.com/chatter.php?js=true&id=mixedbanana&sid=4499331"> </script><noscript> <a href="http://chatter.flooble.com/chatter.php?id=mixedbanana&sid=4499331&popup=true&w=480&h=400" target="flooblechatterbox" onClick="window.open('about:blank','flooblechatterbox','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=480,height=400');return true;"> <img src="http://img.flooble.com/images/chatter/chaticon.gif" border="0" align="absbottom">Talk</a> in my <a href="http://chatter.flooble.com/">flooble chatterbox, a free javascript chat tag board / shoutbox / tagboard program for your xanga, diary, blogger or weblog</a> | <a href="http://www.flooble.com/scripts/">get free javascript games and effects</a> </noscript> <script language="javascript"> if (!chatterbox || chatterbox != 'ok') { document.write('This <a href="http://chatter.flooble.com/">flooble chatterbox</a> is'); document.write(' temporarily unavailable.
