hello from amsterdam!
yes, i'm in the capital of the country that used to colonized us for hundreds of years. apparently the country's been awesome. come to think of it, it problly prospered to the way it is now after years of taking away other people's freedom.
now, how bout that, huh?
however, i still think this country's awesome. and i apparently prefer rotterdam than amsterdam. here places and houses are soooo packed. some of the streets are small as well, one-laned for cars. it's got these little lovely shops and cafes though.
and since it's summer, my energy's still on full blast until sundown, which is aroun 10pm :p
so i'm still up for roaming around town until nightfall, though places are closed already. hargh. i missed shopping until late into the night. shops here open until 6pm only aaargh.
speaking of which.
I FUCKING MISS MY HUMANS BACK HOME!
yes, i'm homesick. well more like peoplesick, coz i miss my friends back home :(
they've started senior year without me :(((
it's crazy, i know but i apparently miss going to school and ranting over our IB-fucked miseries.
AWH GOD, I MISS YOU GUUUUYYSSS :((
ohh i heard about the bombings back home. i was in france when i heard about it and i was in complete total shock. i stood in front of the tv with my jaw gawking open, not quite sure if i just read the right words under the breaking news banner.
i can't believe it happened again. it's been years since such attacks happen and it's been quite peaceful. and apparently tourism is back up and running again in indonesia, giving life to those in the tourism sector.
i really don't understand what is in the mind of those terrorist. what good would it do them aside from having people's lives lost. they think life is something that people can just throw away.
well it's not.
and it's not just death that would end someone's life. this tragedy would scar them forever.
apparently, a friend of my aunt's, who lives here in netherlands, was among those who were the victims of the bombing. he did not pass away, but he suffered severe damage to his leg and had to have it amputated.
imagine how such thing would alter someone's life completely. i don't know this person, but i know his life would most probably not be the same again.
well, i ended this with a sombre note. but it is a tragedy and my condolensces goes to those whose loved ones are lost or scarred from the bombing.
anyways, i suppose i'm gonna go nooooww.
gonna go meet ode tomorroooooww!!
yeaaahh, so stoked! bumped into her few days ago in den haag and can't wait to spend the whole day with her! :)
good night from amsterdam, my loves :)
