Back to reality

24/09
It's been a hard days for last few days.... not having too much sleep for few days coz I wanted to finished the photos things and trying to finish the blog… and also have to start doing the proper portfolio….
I slept at 5:00 (the earliest for last few days indeed) and woke up at 10:00 ^_^ Luckily I’d slept very well coz it was a hard day! It start with moving stuff with Charlie. He really has so many things!!!! It’s like 10 times of mine now :D wah wah wah …. I was quite tired after moving… but it was just a start…. I then went to Chan Jai’s place to get the computer. It was a nightmare!!! You know, the traffic in London on Sunday… -_- All the engineers must be super busy these week! Nearly all of the tube and trains are affected (or maybe just those I wanted to take T_T)… I supposed to take the train in King Cross Temslink directly to St Albans which would take me like 40 mins. But then I walked from the King Cross Temslink to St. Pancres, and found that the train are stopped at Kentish Town. And the Northern Line was suspended from Camden, I had to take the bus to Kentish Town T_T… I have spent 2 hours to get there eventually~ In additional to my 30Kg stuff on hand.. I was totally dead when I arrived and its not the end of the story… coz I still need to get back to Putney… well…another one and half hour journey… T__T …..
Luckily, Stephane had already prepared the dinner when I got back home haha.. so happy :D:D and we had a nice dessert before sleep :P I was being active tim :D:D he was so so happy lerh…. !!!

25/9
It’s the first day Stef need to work. I woke up at 8 and walked Stef to station ^_^ and then went to the library :D it was so nice… free internet and borrow some books + CDs…. Such a long time haven’t been in Library!! Yea….maybe go to work on my stuff tomorrow… I can be so concentrated there… :D . Also I’ve discovered a bit the area afterwards… I thought I was a bit lost in the way home, but suddenly fount that I was already in the road where I should go….:D haha… stupid me… I should have trusted myself on my sense of direction. It’s a nice day..~ hope that I will have time to swim tomorrow :D

Post-summer holiday - Day 11&12

day 11 - Amsterdam

I really can’t understand why their glass windows can be so big like this…!!! Just amazing!!! Wooo….. the third day was soooooooo nice and full of surprising. I went to the Van Gogh Museum by myself. Of cause his works are always my love but I was so impressed by some amazing artworks from other Japanese artist!!! Those painting and printing on china are just amazing!!! And they are so much in front of our “latest” design!!! What a pity, I should have bought the book but no money … T____T

I met Euniz afterwards and handed to the NewMetropolis Museum. We tried to pick up a bit Dutch haha… and found that they always try to make the words as long as thy can…. Always get ripe of the space betweens English names and form new words haha…. Dutch is quite similar to England indeed… just a lot of “k” sounds which is like the sounds people made to clean their throe… Back to the NewMetropolis, it was exactly the same (even smaller) than the Science Museum in HK… but it cost ?11.5!!!! while the one in HK only HK$15… and the one in London is free -_- Anyway we didn’t get in, the architecture was just fantastic! The shape, the colour and the whole environment just work perfectly together!
We walk into the SMCS (Stedelijk Museum Central Station) by accident. I didn’t want to go in coz it was such an ugly building… but Euniz suddenly pointed the shop there. And we got into there finally… It was a very nice venue but it was almost closing. So we didn’t get into the exhibition and decided to visit again the next day… Instead we went to their coffee shop on the top floor and found that they would have an talk about one of the exhibition – “Design and Architecture for Air Travel” woo…. Suddenly had a nice lecture ^_^ so unexpected! Since they speak Dutch for the introduction, we kinda got the idea of how Dutch sounds like… the funny sounds are happened so often in normal conversation! Haha…~~
We then got into an very expensive pancake shop… coz they are closing quite soon and all the staff were so in good mood hhaa…
And then it was the Coffee shop time~~ lalala. We made the “MayLand” day introduction video.

day 12 - Amsterdam

The last day was the exhibition day + further deepest visit day… haha… we to the bigbig supermarket finally and bought some delicious raw beef slices!!!! It was so nice!!! And we bought more for dinner on flight as well ^__^….The last thing happened on us in Amsterdam was so fucking bad… and that’s the only bad things happened in the whole trip… We hadn’t got any changes and tried to get the ticket from the counter… and then we found that it’s ?1 more expensive than from the machine. I asked the staff why was it more expensive, and he was fucking rude saying it’s because he is the human and not a machine -__-….. such a bad guy…. It’s so unfair…. They didn’t tell use before that… um…Well… besides that… Amsterdam is a amazing city… ^_^ love it!

Inspiration
Toilet roll stealer (and the whole series of stealer products)~~~ haha hope that I can finish my whole proposal very soon :D:D

Post-summer holiday - Day 9&10

day 9 - Amsterdam

From day 9 of my post-summer holiday, I went back to the Western Europe. Holland, I did expect very much from here... and she just hasn't disappointed me!!! It was so much enjoyable, and inspirit! Although we haven’t planned for anything (only booked flight ticket and hotel and nothing else), it was a fucking great trip! I was super tired when we were arriving Amsterdam. I was in a half awake condition. On the way to the hotel, we had some super nice Haring (Holland trademarked)!!! ^_^ yeah~~ Hang out with Euniz is always a good thing…. At least it would be someone to speak non-sense with me… and I don’t need to worry even I have said something super moliu… haha…. The 2nd hand shops there are so up to standard, almost the same as London!!!! People there are so artistic! All the house and shops we could see there are some artworks placed. Drawings, installation just all around the city…. Bernard should definitely go there to earn for life haha….

We then went to the most important attraction in Holland – the Coffee Shop~~~ haha bought some weed and took one instantly… hahaha yeah~~

At night, we went to a recommended caf? to have the cheese fondue!!! It was the best I have ever had (I actually only had once in Switzerland and it was totally a wine fondue >.<) haha nice nice! The taxi in Amsterdam is fucking expensive!!! Damn!!! Must be more expensive than in London!!! It was ?12 for the distance like 20 mins walk >_<

And we walk home for more weed :D:D get some sleep and prepared for our next day unplanned travel. Haha….~~~

day 10 - Volendam
Before going to Volendam, we passed through one of the exhibition hall which is so interesting. Didn’t get into the show coz it was ?8 entrance fee.

We then went to Volendam for the cheese and clogs factory. But again, once we saw the Haring, we just can’t ourselves… hehe… Me and Euniz definitely can’t live together… otherwise both of use must become diabetes! The factory was not actually in Volendam but at the edge of the area or even a bit outside. We’ve spent quite a while to find it out..…. It’s uch a fusion idea!!! Mixing cheese with clogs… haha… we also found a lot of funny fusion ideas in Amsterdam!! Like the hairdressing with fashion, home decoration with caf? and of cause weed in coffee shop~~~
We went to a nice restaurant for dinner ^_^ I had a Thai chicken soup… so delicious :D
