My favorite cake shop

Although nothing really happened n shits going on, I am feeling happy today


Introduce my favorite cake shop in Amsterdam: De Laaste Kruimel

Address: Langebrugsteeg 4, Amsterdam

It is quite close to where I go to school :) They have nice coffee too and as a student, I can get 10% off discount ^^

The cakes & pastries are beautifully displayed


 And very cozy music & interior

Just the seats n tables r really small, but they bring people closer

返學

開學終於開始忙

日日都要睇3-5 篇readings 眼都盲了

還未成功睇得晒...

然後很累很想睡 zZzZz

睇字從來都係我弱點...

讀書人還未懂得點讀書 -__-

I love Science Park

Not the science park in Hong Kong but the one in Amsterdam

After i moved, it only takes me less than 10 mins to bike to science park

There stands a university building and a sports complex

The interior of the university building is much more modern and new, it is a nice place to spend time working on school stuff

but what i like the most is the sports complex

Apart from the normal facilities like hot shower, it also has a SAUNA

Last year I had a chance to peek into the sauna, it looked EXACTLY like the picture below.


and the light colour changes


Because i moved so close by so i started joining sports courses there, and i thought the sauna was for special members so I asked, the reception told me that whenever I finish my lesson I can go there FOR FREE

Im already excited n definitely will try it out! Its so cozy!! 

Although it means that I am super poor, it's still good to be a student sometimes, as I can get some student discounts for good stuff that no one else can :)

And i really find this sports complex really cool as they offer a lot of exciting courses like windsurfing,  freerunning, and even parachuting!!! Too bad theres no student discount for parachuting and its kinda expensive for me......if I would have the financial capability to do it, i would!!

There are just so many great things out there waiting to be experienced

零professional 裝備人生第一次單車4日3夜旅行

Now I like the fact that the Netherlands is flat, coz you can bike super easily!

我們俩都未試過單車旅行, 想著反正有咩事可以搭火車返家, 咪去囉

我喜歡大自然草地海洋, 佢就在google map 度一眼就話行沿海既這條路啦 (紅色條線)



基本上, 就咁出發了

Day 1: Amsterdam-Waterland-Monnickendam-Volendam
我地下午約1點先開始起行
算係好短既一日
第二次黎Volendam, 真係仍然覺得係其中一個holland 最靚既城巿
一出Volendam 就找到一個十分理想camping 點, 後面睇日落, 前面睇日出既180 度海景...
6點多7點就紮營
訓覺既時間先知...原來這裡係排水口, 凌晨先排@@, 成晚都好嘈, 不過!!我有帶耳塞!!

Day 2: Volendam-Edam-(中間經左幾個小villages)-Hoorn-Enkuizen
Edam 這小小城巿都幾靚!
小小可惜中間有段路係車路冇海景
Hoorn 很大很可愛, 巿中心的所有燈柱都有衫著的
從地圖睇hoorn 跟enkuizen 的距離比volendam 去hoorn 短
但係!!
我地跟海岸線踩, 其實原來仲長過volendam 去hoorn...
Enkuizen 也很漂亮
這裡找了個camping site, 因為太想沖涼了!!
另外仲bbq 左, 一直想左好耐了!

Day 3: Enkuizen-Lelystad-Almere 
這日路程最長.......至少60km+
從地圖所見, Enkuizen 出發其實有條長命堤壩
踩踩踩踩踩踩踩
(sorry cant type in chinese on the computers in school..)
we reached Almere right before it got dark
had a drink, watched football & dinner in the city
set our tent in the middle of a public beach inside the city
it was super chill. unbelievably,  it was the quietest night compared to the first 2 nights

Day 4: Almere- Muiden - Amsterdam
We packed our tent at 10am, still no one around at the beach.
Can't believe camping inside the city was much more quiet and silent than camping sites
We met a friend there, listened to his music and chatted
Then we had to start biking otherwise we would be late for a birthday party tonight
Although the journey was not super long
We were biking against strong wind which broke me totally
There was a festival going on in Muiden as we passed by. Narrow streets in this small city were packed with happy people. Cozy. Too bad my phone was out of battery.
Completely broken, exhausted and moody, we returned home safely. Had a nice warm shower n laid totally still to rest, we left home again for the birthday party


Afterwards, a friend of mine asked whether we brought anything to fix our bikes in case anything happened. The answer was no. We were damn lucky that nothing went wrong. I would love to say thank you to our bikes for carrying us along the way.

but after returning to Amsterdam for couple of days, my bike was stolen (again). And his bike had a flat tire (which we think was done intentionally by people who wanted to steal the bike).

So...

Now i have a real dutch bike. Finally, I am learning how to ride on a dutch bike which is a bit too high for me to sit on. I remember there was a saying that dutch bikes were the most difficult ones to learn.

But challenge accepted.

Update 返 - business course completed

其實隔左幾個月都冇真係記落blog
可能因為我打字慢, 加上要upload 的的, 我寫blog 用的時間還滿多的...有時覺得有時間情願做其他野..所以我唔係好regular update 既blogger..
而且覺得打出來同心入面想的有點出入
又愈來愈覺得好多野都冇咩要講出黎
然後日子耐左, 善忘既我又唔記得了
以前我好記得d微細野, 而家唔知係老左short 左變左定潛意識內disable 左這個功能
好多特別野都係過左就算

趁而家記一記最值得記的:

我讀的business minor 已經完成, 後期的cold call + spam email + 吹水+ 好彩 令我們找到2 個堅客,  ( 我既teammate 其實在上述4項都冇involve , 但佢樂意做admin 上 打report 寫business plan 這些在電腦後做既野 ), 令我地成為12 條team 內唯一有profit 既一team , 之後semi final 順利入8強, 最後在kickout (最後既大presentation) 得到了第二, 這屆minor 被譽為10年內最高質素, 而且聞說我地離第一位只欠0.03分, 仲有我地已經有profit, 我地個presentation 又次次改次次練, 所以拿第二其實都夠開心!

更重要既係, 有人覺得我地係第一.

當第一個客既order 到左後, 老師講有興趣加入, kickout 當日坐在前排既investor 們問我詳情, 到kickout完左, 有2位同學分別私下問可否加入等等.. 其實我覺得這些真實既反應, 比"第一位"重要..

這個minor 令我証明了我有這個能力, 亦可以做到, 但始終這是很短期的試驗, 這idea 也許不是我很熱衷去做的,  要真正自己搞, 長期保持熱度, 這還是另一個層次


我們努力的成果:



以後說起, 還滿值得自豪的 :)
