So i had been visit to Amsterdam at 26 May 2010, and i feel lucky because i able to visit to the keukenhof park ! It only open 24 March to 20 May 2010 only ! Just can say, it was a great experience , i feel more fresh and relax when i reach the place...i took a lots of photo and walk around looking for beautiful girls.

I brought the ticket at Information counter inside Schiphol Airport. include bus ticket and entrance fees around 14,50 euro, it is quite cheap if compare you follow tour. And there was no time limit, you can stay whole days over there..

Finally i got chance hang out and try something new rather than hide myself at hotel everyday. This time we went to a market which famous with grilled fish and cheaper.

This is the croacker fish~ around 500g up to 1kg. Really damm big, 1 fish per person. I wonder rather i can finish it or no .... but really look delicious.
Grilled croaker fish come with chips, and a spicy pepper sauce that will curl your toes. Is quite spicy ~..eat until i sweating..





You can see how big is the fish ~ the croaker fish had become my lunch + dinner of the day ~
Thanks for my nigeria colleagues who bring us for the wonderful try.

Christmas 2009 at Amsterdam

我看雪的梦想终于了结了，25/12/2009 这一天可是我最开心又伤心的一天。巧好我今天来到 Amsterdam 转机回大马，可是要等12个小时，所以每次我们都会搭火车去荷兰的城市去逛街.

本来先online booking 去郊外参观风车，cheese 厂。可惜圣诞节是公共假期。。没关系吧，还有机会的，反正我还是需要继续飞。为什么说我伤心？当我的同事去蜡像馆的时候，我就一个人逛街，傻傻的一个人，又冷又独孤，看到我前方的西方俊男美女的情侣突然慢下来脚步，然后就亲了起来，抱在一起。。。。看到这样的情景，我的心更加的沉底，只好默默的从他们擦身而过。

那时我在后面看到的时候，就和想拿起相机把那么温馨的景色拍起来，可能太冷吧，加上我又有点感触，就放弃了。一个人傻傻的走了几圈，就到M记买了杯咖啡，在那里看着人来人往的人群，心情也比较平复了，是不是一个人太久，总是想太多？
第一次尝试踏雪的感觉。。哈哈。。。怪怪酱，就好像刨冰的感觉吧。
这次刚好不寂寞，有两个友族的同事陪我。不知道为什么我的朋友在面书 faceook, 看到我这张照片，个个都嘲笑我，我的头发两个月没剪啊，当然变得那么长，加上我又对发型没什么要求，就简简单单的开线梳了起来～哈哈。。
听我同事说，上次他来的时候，河里的水已经结冰，那些鸭子就在那么走动，好可爱。。怎么我来的时候，没结冰啊。。。
另外一个同事 ：） 3 度。。。很冷下，我的脚趾都麻掉了，加上又下细雨
地上的冰，拿来玩玩。。哈哈
冬天的景色，真的是特别不一样
比较满意的照片，因为戴手套的关系，真的没有时间去调好相机的设定，结果很多照片都曝光了。还是春天的比较好拍...

Museumplein + Flower Market

Museumplein is quite far away from Central station, you might need to take GVB , you can refer to here http://www.gvb.nl/english/travellers/maps/Pages/museumsandattractionsmap.aspx
Just notice you can buy a ticket on central station and some place. But you also can pay while you take the GVB, i think the price is slightly expensive and not worth.


Some photo taken near Museumplein , it was a cloudy day and raining -__-''
This is my lunch ^^ , coffee for 2 euro, the bacon around 4-5 euro. That time was raining, i feel so relax while enjoying my hot coffee ^^
There is some souvenir shop around the Museumplein. This remind one of my friend Lilian who like the painting too. "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh ( Thanks for wk woo for correction ^^ )

Flower market, other attraction place for people to get a cheap & fresh flower, the street is not too long, just around 15 min, u can walk to the end.

Manneken Pis @ Amsterdam

Just wikipedia the meaning of Manneken Pis , it mean (Dutch for little man urinating). Just spot my friend who had travel to amsterdam, refer to Yuan . Yummy, i am a food lover, of course i wont miss the chance to try it !!!!!!!
Quite many people eating beside the shop ~
Small size is 2.40 euro, add sauce is 0.50 euro :P

mayolis..i love it ~

Honestly i am not able to finish. I just able to eat half ==''' , anyone want to share with me ^^ , well is nicer , longer and tasty than McD , just like it

Church Westerkerk & Frank Anne's House

Before i came to Amsterdam i had mark down several place of interesting for visit. Even now, some i had still no idea how to reach :P , i even walk about 1 hour from central toRijksmuseum , but still cannot reach, haha.
a map can be brought a tourist centre near central station, it cost me euro 5. And i start my first journey to Frank Anne house. The entrance fees is euro 8.50 for adult. Honestly is quite expensive if convert into RM.

Some story about Frank Ann = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Frank
There is no photo allow inside the house. But i feel lucky can visit the design on the holland's house. The staircase inside the house was so narrow, if a fat guy walk in sure it will stuck. Inside the house is full of trick, this is for Frank Anne easy to hide themselve for caught by the soldier. Is worth to spend 1 hour to have a look.

I saw the church of Westerkerk, but that was sunday so i not able to visit :) . The sky is still cloudy, i not able to take any nice photo. Hopefully next time.
And i was hunting some restaurent for my dinner, you can find a lots of restaurent near by Dam square, honestly i had no idea what to eat. My budget for dinner is Euro 20 only. At last i went to an Argentinian Restaurent to had my dinner before flight back to malaysia.
This is what i order. A beer and grillled chicken chop~...Yummy ! I love heineken. This dinner cost me totally Euro 21. ( Rm100+) . Everything is expensive in Europe @@

Amsterdam - Dam square

I had visit Amsterdam since last year July, because when i flight to nigeria, i need to transit at Amsterdam and wait for 12 hour. Usually i take train went out for photoshooting :)

You can buy a train ticket from schiphol airport to central is euro 7.40 ( 2 way ticket ) , it take around 20 minute to destination. Remember keep your ticket, because the train office will check your ticket, but just depend your luck. There is 2 level of train, usually i like to sit at top level for better scenery.
This is the outlook from central station, i think this is the best photo i take among few trip, is very hard to get a blue sky at amsterdam.

Just follow the people and walk straight , you will see all the building follow by my photo sequence. I found that there is a lots of Mcdonald at amsterdam, even 200m , you can see other Mcdonald again, is so funny :P




After that, you will saw a Royal Palace of Amsterdam on Dam square at the centre of amsterdam. But the palace is closing for renovation, too bad i had miss the chance to enter for visit.

There is a lots of canals long the way, i like the roof of the house, the screen is just so beautiful for me. Even me can walk 1 hour around the city. Of course there is some place which we need to take trams. This is my experience :P , sometime even i will walk lost during the 1st time i visit.

I still can remember the 1st time visit to Amsterdam. It was a cloudy morning, no much people is around the street, some citizen was jogging and cycling around. The feeling is so good and safe when walk alone.


Next i will intro some attraction place at the city of Amsterdam.

Portraits - Christina aka Green Forest

Other portrait i did from my friend ( Christina Tan) . Somebody asking me why your didn't join some model shooting? There is few reason i only did shooting with my friends

1. You will learn more and gain more experience, because you need to teach your friend's posting and try catch the pretty angle. Is more challenging.

2. Because for those normal friend they dont think of they will have pretty photo, and they wont find photographer to help them.

3. Promote my friends :P

4. She happy, i Happy

Christina , a shy girl who dont know how to post well. By the way , just share photo which i think she got a pretty angle. Hope you guys like it.

Thanks Samuel and Christina who the photoshooting session :)
