Chinees Niew Jaar!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

Hehe...its kinda wierd spending my first Chinese New Year in the Netherlands or overseas for that matter. Traditional dragon and lion dances just do not seem right here...haha, oh well, dim sum was still good though. :)

Oh I miss going to Chinatown in Singapore and buying chinese new year goodies...even durian puffs....I really do miss THOSE durian puffs I had when I was in Singapore last month....do you know which ones I mean? hehe..warmy...

Check out some of the photos!



A large crowd was already there when we arrived!





Quite cold ...



Somehow I seem even shorter in this country...haha





At least she looks like she can see the dragons...I got bored. haha



Lions dance! Not very lively though...haha...but the atmosphere was great with so many firecrackers going off!

KaPot Network is up!!

YAY!! Finally I have Internet at the new flat...:)

For those who know, the KPN, aka Kapot Network, is finally setup in our new apartment!

For those who dun know, I am now staying in a new flat with two of my colleagues, myriah and tana. There is a new intern at FIP and he is staying at my old flat. Well, this new place is so much better, more space and more like a real house! Real living room, real bathroom, real bedrooms and a second level loft --> oyster's cove!

I took some photos of the new place. Check it out now!



This is the living room. Really nice when you put on the candles and have our "storm" lighting up...hmm thinking of warmness..hehe



The staircase leading up to my loft.



My bed! hehe...this photo shows part of the "room", officially, there is no door but we are thinking of fixing up some curtains. Well, not so bad, if I can bring in my rocking chair, coffee table and oh I need more clothes shelving. Need to buy more pillows and bedsheets too! Heehee....

Ok....happy to be connected to the outside world....:)

Leaving for Geneva on Monday!! Away for 3 days for a WHO meeting...wish me luck!

Aww...somehow, missing Singapore...And Chinese New Year too! We have a gathering on the 12th Feb with the Singapore Netherlands Association people here. Hopefully, there will be the lucky draw for SQ tickets to Singapore again!
