Sleep sleep sleep...

Shy or sleeping?

Definitely sleeping!

Grumpy, but very very adorable!

Handsome little boy on the boat (he's only 18 months old!)

An Evening in Scheveningen, Den Haag, 29 April

0 comments
The Central Station with the sea of bicycles (customary of any central stations in Holland, day and night!)

With the Holland Casino in the background

Sunset at Scheveningen, one of the best things in life, to me

A picnic of KFC chicken wings on the beach

Great friends (who were apparently, very high after the meal)


Anes was satisfied after getting her fries (I've never seen her so eager with food before, she dashed into this snack store when she saw it, leaving the three of us bewildered :p)

The culprit is... possibly the most loved Dutch snack, frites met mayo! (the mayo sauce is different from the ones we had back in Singapore, I think it has Dutch cheese in it!)

MD and YS gleefully shared a McKroket! (can only be found in Dutch McDonald's ;))

Apparently all the foods weren't enough for the evening... we had some loots from Albert Heijn!

That was a lot of food for one evening... but we have a good excuse! It was a really long day... We went to many, many places in Holland! I'll tell you the story on another day!

Cycling trip to Helmond, 20 April

The cows look so peaceful here...

So ZY joined them ;)

Helmond city center

Helmond Castle with the moon on a bright afternoon (I love this photo!)

Dandelion clock... let's blow it!

Cycling into the sunset

Our bikes (small compared to the normal Dutch bikes)

The little wonders of flowers blossoming in spring, rainbow at a waterfall, birds singing of morning glories, strong and chilly wind that made me feel so alive, and sunset by the sea.

This sounds funny but these things gave me the warm, fuzzy feeling and made me want to run to, embrace Him, and say, "Thank you, Lord."

"There is an innocence within me that already knows how to trust my Higher Power, to cherish life while holding it lightly, to live fully and simply in the present moment. I will allow that part of myself to come forward and nourish me as I continue on this journey."
