Today, my pelt went to see its maker. I first bought my chinchilla more than eight years ago at Park Chinchilla. I remember that day pretty well, it was Chinese New Year and my dad agreed to buy me a chinchilla. Thats when I saw you. You was standard gray but your fur was a …
After a great adventure of house hunting when you don’t understand the language that well, I finally got myself a new house. Half-baked Dutch when you are making a reservation at a fancy restaurant vs. Half-baked Dutch navigating the legal and financial consequences of buying a new house I thought to myself about the time …
If you live in Singapore, you might be interested to get a Credit Card, because we are *almost* a CC-nation. I call this almost because as much as I’ve been putting my card on the table, at least we don’t get the “you don’t need to sign if its less than 25USD” and stuff like …
On the 27th January, Steve Jobs announced the tech world’s worst kept secret, the Apple tablet PC, after Seth Godin, random publishers, leaked China replicas and every thing else pointed to the fact that Apple was indeed developing a tablet PC. On 28th January, I decided NOT to blog about it, didn’t have a clue …
After settling my passport / driving license / and other what-have-yous I finally have time to blog. Anyway, I’m back in Singapore for Chinese New Year, the first time since three years I’m actually back!

Lately, I’ve been questioning the validity of statistic probabilities and how “that would never happen to me”. Well, funny thing is, three days ago, I won the lottery. Oh yes, in Singapore, we have 4D, you choose four numbers and then if you are on of the twenty three numbers announced three times a week, …
Just back from New York to welcome in 2010 with M. Happy 2010! Us, before going up the Empire State Building. M&Ms, the bane of my life and the factor to my bad cough. Coutured myself in retail therapy with a cute JC top.
Just so you know, b is taking care of my apartment. I actually miss Holland. So…. New York City! I finally managed to find an Internet connection which didn’t involve me to data roam which was totally expensive. On Christmas Day, me and Maaike almost got blown up. Literaly. On NW0253. Me on seat 17C …
A kind of backdated post. Nonetheless. I’ve been awfully busy with work and fixing a whole lot of things – like buy a house! Anyway, from October 5 – 8 I was JAOO-ed at the JAOO 2009. It was my first JAOO and “ontzettend bedankt” to Google who gave me the Google Travel and Conference …
This is not a love story, it is a story about love. Someone told me to watch 500 Days of Summer because she’s called Summer. I really like Summer, Tom is sad to watch, but somehow in Summer, she knows that he isn’t the One and you really can’t blame her. The thing is, Summer …
