We don't celebrate Halloween in Holland and seeing all those cool Halloween pics from everyone I think it's a shame!

But my sister got bored and carved out a Pumpkin this year!

Pretty huh !

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

My fav things of the moment are…

No. 1 My electric Bug Zappers!!!

I sooo DO NOT LIKE INSECTS! And hate killing them even more. But since I got these bug zappers - in ALL three colors – I’m not afraid anymore… I think I’ve killed more insects in the last 3 months than in the previous 10 years!!!

You can call me MISS EXTERMINATOR from no on !

Great… great invention!

My 2^nd fav thing of the moment is my Ipod Shuffle!

I used to drag my Cowon D2 everywhere I went…even to the gym but the shuffle is much handier! I don’t have to think about it when I use it, no worries about where to place it, no troubles with the earplugs etc. …I just click it on my clothes and off I go!

My 3^rd fav thing is my Wacom Bamboo pen tablet.

I forgot to take it with me a few times so I had to work with a mouse and it’s so unhandy and uncomfortable to work with compared to the tablet! So this is definitely a great buy if you’re looking for a mouse replacement!

My 4^th favourite item are my earplugs from BIO EARS.

I’m a really light sleeper and even the tiniest sound will keep me awake…or wake me up in the middle of the night. So when I went to London and couldn’t sleep at night in my hotel I found these great re-usable silicone earplugs at Boots. You can mold them into your ears (also used by swimmers) and it has a special antimicrobial protection so it doesn't get contaminated. These are the most comfortable earplugs ever!

The Dark Knight!

I went to see The Dark Knight yesterday and the movie is just AWESOME...!!!
I had crappy seats but I couldn't care less....
I thought Batman Begins was already great but this sequel is just AMAZING!
The Spiderman movies were my fav adaptations from comics UNTIL NOW!
Mr. Nolans directing and his way of retelling the Batman story is just superb!
Heath ledger was great, I really liked his portrayal as the creepy maniac The Joker. And Christian Bale was yet again an amazing Batman! Cool, Grim and Dark. And the supporting cast was just perfect.

There were just so many cool things about this movie. From the camerawork - breathtaking shots of all those skyscrapers and amazing action sequences - and of course the cool gadgets like his MOTORCYCLE, The BAT POD (those tires were HUGE!).

Go and see it!!!

Like NOW !!!

Lil' bro in China!

Friday, Jul 25, 2008 2:14AM / Standard Entry / Members only

My little brother is in China for a month and he's keeping up a blog about his adventures!
I just had to share a few of his hilarious pics (and translated the captions in italics)

This is a pic of him the first time he went to HK when he was four.
He's smiling like crazy because he just stole MY McDonalds Sunday IceCream
and I couldn't get a new one because the line was too loooong and we were in a hurry.
YEP...I STILL remember that day .

But he's all grown up now and so has the size of the Ice Creams he eats.
Darn...wish I was there to steal THIS from him hehe

" I would like to thank my family and friends who
have always supported me, my goldfish and..."

Taking a boat trip:

"Is that a Iceberg in front of us?"

He actually bumped into Terence Yin and managed to get a pic with him!!!

"Fav Bad guy"

O.K. this is just sooo sad :-(...He saw this little pup on the streets of HK.
It was still breathing. But still....soooo sad....

In Shanghai:

"Moment of truth: First slurp of Xiao Long Bao in many many many years..."

"Hi Sir, can I hold your hand..."

"Just kidding! Give me the frikkin' ball B****!!! "

This one is just HILARIOUS!!!

Miss you HENCHIE !!!

Thank you for not Smoking!

Tuesday, Jul 8, 2008 10:18PM / Standard Entry / Members only

It’s official! As of the 1^st of July there’s a ban on smoking tobacco in all hospitality venues in Holland (restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels etc.). You’re not even allowed to smoke normal cigarettes anymore in ‘coffee’ shops. You are however still allowed to smoke joints or any other weed in coffee shops as long there’s no tobacco in it …haha…kinda ridiculous. I never thought I'd see the day that cigarettes are more illegal than marijuana !

Actually I don’t mind the smoking ban because I can’t stand the smell of cigarettes but I think I even prefer the smell of tobacco over the smell of sweat and other nasty odors. A friend of my lil’ bro went out to a club on the day the smoking ban started and called him to say that everyone fled outside because the smell of sweat, beer and other non-describable odors was getting too nasty hahaha!
