Rob en Ghislaine op onze Turkse avond

There we are on Charles & Fred's balcony having a lovely Turkish meal before the Holland-Romania match. We ended up sitting outside at Elsa's - on the heated terrace - and could still watch the match (although I think we ended up chatting a lot more). Holland will play the quarter finals this Saturday against Russia or Sweden, and we look forward to an excellent game.

The Grand Finale


De finale, originally uploaded by rob-gizzy.

Another successful show! The Crea Musical class had their final show last Tuesday, 27 May at the Podium Mozaiek in Amsterdam West. It was a huge success! The public was invited to sing along to "Hopelessly Devoted to You" (only the blondes), and made to feel like Olivia Newton-John for a few minutes. We look forward to seeing more talented performances from these fantastic artists!

Well, there you have it, another Queen's Day in Watergraafsmeer. We started partying on the 29th, at the Queen's Dinner and continued yesterday, the actual Koninginnedag. - We enjoyed the excellent music of The Second Hand band at Elsa's cafe.

We picked up the kittens yesterday and now they're settling in quite well. They were very tired yesterday and had to get used to their new home. They're adorable, and fall asleep in each other's arms, too cute!

Our kittens


De ene weer, originally uploaded by rob-gizzy.

Today we took a look at our kittens that will come live with us as of April 5th. We're not sure if we have 2 girls or a boy and a girl (too hard to tell yet), but they're adorable. We're looking forward to having them live with us!

House guest, Betty


House guest, Betty, originally uploaded by rob-gizzy.

Betty has been a guest at our house for 2 days now, and finally has come out from under the couch. She's a Maine Coon (belongs to Nathalie & Michael) and is lovely but she's been uprooted from her familiar surroundings and needs to get to know her new - but temporary abode. It's interesting to see how every day she gets a little bit closer to us!

Back in Amsterdam, and exhausted!


Fortune Teller's Siesta, originally uploaded by rob-gizzy.

Well we're back in town after a FABULOUS holiday! This lady was a fortune teller in Bangkok taking a nap :D. We enjoyed our last weekend in Bangkok - shopping - and eating sushi and Thai food. Our hotel in Silom Road - Unico Grande has been upgraded so our room was a lot better than before! It was also fun meeting up with Eh and Poo- friends from my highschool in Manila. The amazing thing is - they haven't changed (they say I haven't either, yeah right). We don't know where our next adventure will take us, but since we're Asia- affectionados, it will probably be somewhere over there again someday.......
