Van de week was Sandra jarig, en Youri besloot om een gedicht voor zijn moeder te schrijven, waar je gewoon kippevel van krijgt. Het is te mooi om alleen op facebook te zetten.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">This week it was Sandra's birthday and Youri decided he would write a poem about his feelings for his Mum. It is so beautiful it gives you goose bumps. It is to good to just post it on Facebook, it deserves it's own blog post.</span><br />

20 jaar geleden beloofden Sandra en ik elkaar eeuwige trouw en nu vonden we het nodig om dit nog een keer aan elkaar te bevestigen. Als locatie wilden we eerst de Maladiven doen, op het eiland waar we onze huwelijks reis door gebracht hebben, maar dat was niet te betalen. Dus gekozen voor een eiland dat wat dichter bij Singapore ligt, Tioman. We wilde het klein houden maar hadden het in het loop van het jaar aan wat mensen verteld en zo kwam het dat we toch met zo'n 20 man op Berjaya Resort zaten.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: xx-small;">Ons huwelijk 20 jaar geleden/ 20 year ago</span></div>
<br />
Het was onwijs leuk. Youri heeft voor ons de ceremonie gedaan en ik ben ontzettend trots op hem. Jelle was de ringdrager en deed dat met veel elan, en Lotte speelde op haar gitaar en zong een liedje van ja wel "One direction", "You and I".<br />
<br />
Lotte bracht ook Sandra naar de bloemen boog, onder de tonen van John Legend.<br />
<br />
Onder de bloemenboog, tegen de ondergaande zon beloofde San en ik elkaar nog tenminste 20 jaar. 's Avonds hebben we lekker gefeest, gegeten en gedronken.<br />
<br />
Iedereen die erbij was, en iedereen die ons de beste wensen heeft gestuurd, bedankt en we houden van jullie.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">20 years ago we were married and we thought it would be a good idea to renew our vows to one another. Not that there has been any doubt of our love to one another, but it seemed the right thing to do. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The first idea was to do it on the Maldives, but this was slightly over budget, so we settled for Tioman of the East coast of Malaysia. The original idea was to do it just with the kids, but during the year we spoke to a couple of our friends and they all wanted to come and celebrate it with us, so we ended up with a little over 20 people on our guest list.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">We had a lot of fun on Berjaya Resort. Youri performed the ceremony and he did a hell of job. Jelle was the ring bearer and he did it with flair. Lotte played the guitar and sang a "one Direction" song, she also escorted her Mom to the altar. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Under he flower arch Sandra and I renewed our vows and we promised each other at least another 20 years. Against a backdrop of the sunset it was super romantic and we partied till late in the night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">To everybody who was there and to the people that send us their best wishes, thanks and we love you.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">It's that time again expats in Singapore hate. The end of lease. What to do , will the landlord come with the normal 15% increase or is he reasonable this time and keep the rent the same?</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">For us these questions are now more relevant than ever. Since we have been localised we have to pay the rent ourselves, so every dollar we can save is one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">When asked the landlord told us he will increase as the last time there was a lot of construction going on and now it is quiet. this plus the fact that our neighbor is thinking of knocking his house down let us to the decision to look for a new house. With Youri in his final year you don't need all kind of noise, dust etc around you. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">But slowly the doubt is creeping in. The landlord told us he is reconsidering keeping the rent the same and when talking to the neighbours it could take 6 months to 3 years for them to make up their mind, so what to do, what to do.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">In the mean time we have been looking at some other houses but have not found anything decent yet. It is either to far away, too old, not enough bed rooms, or just plain horrible.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">We still have time,and we will keep looking but we want to settle this ASAP.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Een terugkerend fenomeen in het leven van een expat in Singapore is de twee jaarlijkse huizen jacht. ook voor ons is het weer zo ver. We wonen al weer twee jaar op Ming Teck Park en de huur overeenkomst loopt ten einde. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br />
De grote vraag is nu, verhuizen of verlengen. in eerste instantie dachten we aan verlengen maar de huisbaas wou een aardige verhoging en toen we hoorde dat de buren gaan "verbouwen" was de beslissing snel genomen. <br />
<br />Maar langzamerhand begint de twijfel toch een beetje toe te slaan. de huisbaas wil nu ook we door gaan met dezelfde huur en toen ik gister et de dochter van de buren stond te praten was het niet echt duidelijk of en wanneer ze gaan verbouwen en tot welk extent, plat gooien of alleen maar een kleine uitbouw?<br />
<br />We zijn ook naar andere huizen wezen kijken en tot nu toe hebben we nog niks passend gevonden, de locatie was of te ver, er waren niet genoeg slaap kamers, of het huis zag er gewoon niet uit.<br />
<br />We hebben natuurlijk nog even want het contract loopt pas eind juni af, maar je wilt toch zo snel mogelijk zekerheid hebben.</span><br />

Het is een druilerige dag in New Jersey, en ik heb eigenlijk geen zin om veel te doen. Vier weken in de States is een lange tijd om weg te zijn van mijn gezinnetje. OK het is goed om je netwerk te vergroten, maar er moet toch een makkelijker manier zijn. Het klinkt allemaal een beetje "zeurderig" ik weet het maar soms moet je een beetje klagen om te realiseren dat het allemaal zo slecht nog niet is.<br />

De laatste drie weken waren erg goed, maar de avonden in het hotel zijn erg lang. Gelukkig was Sas hier voor een lang weekend en we hebben veel plezier gehad, zonder kinderen. Het geeft je een kans om eens lekker dingen te doen met elkaar waar je anders geen tijd voor hebt. New York is een fantastische stad en we hadden geweldig weer.<br />

Een heerlijk weekend met shoppen, een rondvaart, musicals en gewoon lekker met elkaar hangen. Zelfs na bijna 20 jaar huwelijk en 25 jaar samen verveeld het niet om met mijn babe te zijn.<br />
<br />
Dit weekend ben ik alleen New York in geweest maar dat is toch anders, alhoewel het MOMA heel indrukwekkend is en de kebabs van de Halal Guys op de hoek van 6th en 53rd het perfecte fast food zijn, maar ik had er graag 2 gekocht, alhoewel we waarschijnlijk aan 1 genoeg hadden gehad.<br />

Nog een week te gaan en dan ben ik weer in Singapore, met baard en al. Het is leuk geweest maar ik kan niet wachten om weer thuis te zijn.<br />

<span style="color: blue;">It's a grey day in New Jersey and I'm having a grey day as well. Four weeks away from my family is a long time. At the time it seemed a good idea to spend a longer time in the states to increase my network, but there has to be an easier way. All in all it has been a very good period, I met a lot of new people visited Sao Paolo and Detroit but I can't wait to get back to sunny Singapore. Work has been good but 4 weeks in a hotel is looooooooong.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue;">Thank god Sas came over for a long weekend and we spend some quality time together. After almost 20 years of marriage and 25 years of knowing each other we still make each other laugh and I can't get enough of her. New York is the ideal city to hang out. Iconic buildings, great sites, shopping and night life what more do you want. I need to think about planning something like this at least once a year.</span><br />

Da's lang geleden dat ik wat op de blog geschreven heb. Elke keer dacht ik nu heb ik effe tijd maar dan kwam er weer wat anders tussen. Ik weet het,slappe excuses maar we hebben het nou eenmaal verschrikkelijk druk hier in Singapore.<br />
<br />
Na de vakantie hebben we eigenlijk geen vrij weekend gehad. Sandra is erg druk bezig met haar eigen zaak "Lovely Curves" een modezaak voor echte vrouwen in Singapore, waar de standaard zo ongeveer een uitgemergeld botje is. Het loopt nog niet super goed maar wel erg leuke reakties en we, De Dames (Veronique, Eva en Sandra) plus de mannen hebben het 2 jaar gegeven voor het echt geld moet maken.<br />
<br />
Natuurlijk is er een website: <a href="http://www.lovelycurves.com.sg/">www.lovelycurves.com.sg</a> en zitten ze ook op facebook <a href="http://www.facebook.com/lovely8curves">www.facebook.com/lovely8curves</a> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FtmkG8hWNh0/UkwWx01rtsI/AAAAAAAAKLQ/67VmLfUUBZw/s1600/DSCF3675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FtmkG8hWNh0/UkwWx01rtsI/AAAAAAAAKLQ/67VmLfUUBZw/s400/DSCF3675.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Daarnaast heb ik het erg druk gehad met reizen en moet ik voor het eind van het jaar nog naar 5 landen waaronder een maand naar de States en Brazilie, gelukkig komt Sas me wel een weekje opzoeken in New Jersey. Kunnen we lekker met z'n tweetjes New York in, het vrijheidsbeeld beklimmen en een musical bekijken op Broadway<br />
<br />
De kids hebben golf ontdekt en zeker Lotte lijkt er talent voor te hebben, ze slaat er flink op los, misschien denkt ze wel aan mij wanneer ze de bal raakt.<br />
<br />
Jelle en Lotte zitten samen op muziek les, Lotte op de electrische gitaar en Jelle op de drums. Je kan je voorstellen dat ik niet echt sta te springen om een drumstel te kopen, maar we kunnen er bijna niet omheen nu Lotte een electrische gitaar heeft. Gelukkig verkopen ze matjes dat het geluid erg gedempt wordt, anders wordt het toch pluggen in de oren..<br />

Afgelopen zondag heb ik Jelle voor het eerst meegenomen naar de driving range. Al een paar maanden vroeg hij of hij een keer mee mocht. <br />
<br />
Zaterdag zaten we op de club met Nathan en die vertelde dat hij met zijn zoontje de volgende dag een balletje ging meppen en van het een kwam het ander.<br />
<br />
Dus met een geleend setje (van Nathan) heeft Jelle zijn eerste 60 ballen geslagen, en ik moet zeggen hij deed het beter dan ik met mijn eerste 600 ballen (of misschien wel iets meer).<br />
<br />
Hij wil nu op les, en Lotte ook (hmm wordt een dure grappemakerij) maar OK je houdt van ze en dus zeg je ja. Nog effe wachten of Nathan's spruit ook meegaat maar anders zondag ochtend eerste les terwijl papa een rondje loopt op de vernieuwde 9 holes <br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Jelle has been asking if he could play golf with me ever since I brought my set to Krabi in March and last Sunday it finally happened. On Saturday we were having dinner with Nathan and Eva at the club and Nathan told us he was going to the drivingrange to hit some balls with Felix the next day, so a good opportunity for Jelle to the come as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">And I think he has more talent than his dad for golf. OK most dads will say this but he could hold the club, and some of the balls even went up. Not bad for a first time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">He enjoyed it so much that he wants to take lessons. So next week Jelle, and Lotte, together with some of Nathans off-spring will start lessons, which hopefully result in me quitting my job and managing their career. But for now I'm happy with just walking a round on the new 9 hole course while they enjoy their lessons.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
Het was vandaag een beetje warm en de kids hebben nog steeds vakantie, dus wat doe je dan. <br />
<br />
Precies, schaatsen!! <br />
<br />
Caroline kwam ook over vanuit Maleisie met Max en Celine en we hebben er een gezellig middagje van gemaakt. <br />
<br />
Nou kunnen die jongens van ons niet echt schaatsen (zijn geen echte Nederlanders) dus ze hadden een beetje hulp nodig. In Nederland zou dit een stoel zijn, in Singapore een zeehond (logisch). Na twee uur hadden ze het toch een beetje koud.<br />
<br />
Dus met z'n allen naar de club om op te warmen in het zwembad en lekker wat te eten.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dit is SINGAPORE.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GTyznQuD41c/UfEyEAgSySI/AAAAAAAAKJo/4VfMnJ_w7sI/s1600/07-25-13+Schaatsen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GTyznQuD41c/UfEyEAgSySI/AAAAAAAAKJo/4VfMnJ_w7sI/s400/07-25-13+Schaatsen.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">It was a bit hot today and it's still school holiday. The kids were a bit bored so we decided it would be a good idea to do some ice skating in the afternoon. Make sense doesn't it? Caroline joined with Max and Celine from Malaysia, and the kids had a lot of fun at JCube Ice rink. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Our kids are not the best skaters (they left Holland too soon) to be honest they are worse then "not good", but they try and that is what counts. In Holland they would use a chair to practice behind, in Singapore they use a plastic seal (I fail to see the connection?).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Afterwards swimming in the pool to warm up and dinner at the club. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">This is SINGAPORE</span></div>

<br />
Afgelopen donderdag had Lotte een uitvoering van het pop choir van haar school. Voor een zaal met honderd mensen gaven ze een mooie voorstelling weg waar Lotte het voortouw nam. Het is geen American Idol, maar wij zijn erg trots op ons meisje. De meeste van onze zouden in de broek poepen.<br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Last Thursday Lotte had a performance from her school's Pop choir. In front of over a hundred people Lotte took the lead and they did a stellar performance. It's not American Idol, but still a big thing and we are so proud of her. Most of us would have wet our pants</span></div>

Sinds gister heeft Nederland geen Koningin meer maar een Koning. Koning Willem - Alexander en niet te vergeten Koningin Maxima.<br />
<br />
Ook in Singapore werden allerlei activiteiten georganiseerd, van een "officiele" borrel bij de ambassadeur, waar wij vriendelijk voor bedankt hebben, tot een echt commercieel feest in One Altitude waar je voor 100 dollar je kon laten vol lopen genietend van een prachtig uitzicht over Singapore.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Wij kozen om de hele procedure op de club te bekijken en we waren niet alleen. Ruim 250 Nederlanders, netjes in het Oranje uitgedost zaten gekluisterd aan de grote schermen, te kijken naar Wim-Lex maar vooral naar Maxima. <br />
<br />
Wat zag die er mooi uit, prachtige jurk en gewoon een lekker ding. Mogen we als Nederland toch best een beetje trots op zijn, ondanks dat ze uit Argentinie komt en haar papa een "beetje" fout is.<br />
<br />
Op de club was het een gezellige mierenhoop, de staf kon het net wel / net niet bijhouden, maar niemand vond het echt erg. Toch goed dat de NOS de hele dag live op het internet zette zodat wij buitenlanders het ook konden zien.<br />
<br />
De kids mochten ook in het oranje naar school, Jelle als "Unox" boy en Lotte als oranje Flamenco danseres (het is echt een lekkere meid). <br />

Youri ging in pak hij moest Willem Alexander spelen op school complete met de Hermelijne mantel. helaas hebben we nog geen fotoos maar als ze komen plaatsen we ze echt.<br />
<br />
Trots om Nederlander te zijn.<br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Since yesterday we no longer have a queen, Beatrix decided it is time to retire and have fun with the grand children and now we have a king. King Willem-Alexander and his wife queen Maxima. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Everywhere in Holland it was a huge party, as this is something you don't see every day, and it seems the monarchy is more popular than ever before. Also in Singapore the Dutch community partied (we don't need much reason to go out and have a beer dressed in our favourite colour, do we?). There were plenty of options, the official reception at the embassy, we were invited but declined as this is too "stiff" for us, you could also go to One Altitude and party in the clouds overlooking Singapore.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We decided to go the "Dutch Club" and we were not the only ones. 250 plus people were sitting on the terrace, enjoying a rijsttafel buffet, bitterballen, broodjes rookworst etc. and yes we had a couple of cold ones as well. It was what we call "gezellig druk", the waiters were struggling to keep up and at times we had to step in and get our own drinks, but nobody really cared.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Everybody was dressed in Orange watching the big screens with the live streaming (thanks NOS for doing this) and enjoying the atmosphere.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When Wim-Lex and Maxima walked into the church every orange heart skipped a beat, what a good looking queen we got, sorry to say but she beats every royal girl out there, including the late princess Di. We can be proud the two of them will do a good job representing us.

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The kids were allowed to go to school dressed in Orange, Lotte looked very beautiful as a Orange Flamenco dancer and Jelle is always cute. Youri was asked to play Willem-Alexander in the play the Dutch class performed for the rest of the school, we had a suit made and he wore a kings robe on top, we don't have any pictures yet but they will come and we will show them off as proud parents do.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Yesterday was a typical "Proud to be Dutch" day or as we say:</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">If it ain't Dutch it ain't much</span></div>

Na lang denken en denken heeft Sas besloten dat ze het toch wil gaan doorzetten. Ze begint samen met Veronique een eigen winkel. Ze gaan een boutique voor plus size mode voor dames met een moderne smaak beginnen, dus geen tenten zonder stokken, maar elegante modieuze ontwerpen. <br />
<br />
Weken lang hebben die twee zitten zoeken naar leveranciers die leuke vlotte, elegante, modieuze en vrijetijds kleding aanbieden tegen een redelijke prijs. Eerst werd er gekeken naar bestaande buitenlandse ketens zoals Virtu, Ulla Popken en M&S maar die gaven allemaal niet thuis.<br />
<br />
Dus maar rechtstreeks naar de leveranciers, en nu hebben ze een goede mix gevonden met ontwerpen van ateliers uit de US, Europa, Australie en China.<br />
<br />
De eerste zendingen zijn onderweg. De vergunningen zijn goedgekeurd dus ze kunnen beginnnen. Voorlopig doen ze het vanuit Ming Teck Park. Mijn kantoor wordt binnenkort leeg geruimd en opnieuw ingericht compleet met kledingrekken, displays, een zitje, kleedhokje en een creditcard machine.<br />
<br />
Ze hebben grootse plannen, voor een zaak in 1 van de vele winkelcentra in Singapore en aanvullende diensten zoals een eigen kleermaker voor gala jurken etc. Laat die twee maar schuiven.<br />
<br />
Ze zijn nu druk bezig met hun business plan, het drukken van tassen, bonnenboekjes en visitekaartjes. Daarnaast werken ze heel hard aan hun marketingplannen, een website wordt ontworpen en ze zitten al op facebook (klik op het logo hieronder).<br />
<br />
O ja, de naam. Er kan eigenlijk maar 1 naam zijn voor een zaak van deze 2 dames:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">After a lot of thinking Sandra decided that she really wants to go through with a long time wish. Together with Veronique they are going to start their own business, a boutique for plus size fashion for the modern woman. So no tents or potato sacks in this shop but only elegant and fashionable designs from size 12 to 26. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">They have been on the phone and surfing the internet for the last couple of weeks, talking to suppliers and desiginers all around the world. They started of contacting the "known" foreign chains like Vitu, Ulla Popken etc. but none of them showed any interest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">So they went straight to the suppliers, calling manufacturers from all around the globe and now they have a nice mix of modern, elegant, stylish business and leisure fashion from designers from the US, Australia, Europa and China. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">The first shipments are on their way. The permits are granted so there is no stopping them. For now they will be located at Ming Teck Park and my office is being transformed into a boutique including the clotheracks, displays, dressing room, coffee table and creditcard machine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">They have big plans for a shop in one of the numerous shopping centers in Singapore with additional services like their own tailor for party dresses etc. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">For now they have to print bags and business cards, work on their marketing campaign, a website is being designed and they are already on facebook (click the logo above to go there).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">And there can only be one name for a shop owned by these two lovely ladies:</span></div>

Ik
ben de laatste paarweken bezig om door dozen met de oude, niet digitale fotoos te gaan en als er leuke tussen zitten om ze te scannen.<br />
<br />
Wij gebruiken Picassa om alle fotoos te organiseren en Picassa heeft de mogelijkheid voor gezichts herkenning en om collages te maken.<br />
<br />
Per ongeluk drukte ik op die knop toen ik met mijn eigen fotoos bezig was en dit kwam eruit. Best grappig, weet niet of ik door de jaren knapper ben geworden.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div align="left" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I'm going through the boxes of old pictures and scanning the ones that are reasonably decent. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">we organise our pictures in Picassa and this program has two nice features, face recognition and collage making. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The other night I pressed the collage button while going through my own pictures and the above resultcame out. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Not too bad, I just don't know if time has been kind to me.</span></div>

Terwijl we toch in de tropen zitten leeft Kerst wel in Singapore. Niet vanwege de christelijke achtergrond of het gezellig samen rond het haardvuur chocolademelk drinken, maar vanwege het shoppen.<br />
<br />
Scholen houden Kerstmarkten om wat geld bij te verdienen. Op de GESS dus ook. Je kon voor 5 dollar op de foto met de Kerstman, om geld bij elkaar te sparen voor grade 10's trip naar India in maart, waar ze gaan helpen om een school te bouwen. Youri was "de" kandidaat om Santa Claus te zijn. De arme vent zweette zich het rambam maar toch een beste duit bij elkaar ge-hohoho'ed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A_97pQ60v0w/UMMSdNAVOLI/AAAAAAAAJao/R5LrCvzQmPs/s1600/DSC_0058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A_97pQ60v0w/UMMSdNAVOLI/AAAAAAAAJao/R5LrCvzQmPs/s400/DSC_0058.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Alle winkels hier hebben uitverkoop zo rond de Kerst en het lijkt er wel op dat het allemaal gratis is.<br />
<br />
Straten en winklels zijn versierd met kerst verlichting en overal staan gigantische kerstbomen (nep) in allerlei kleuren en themas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zFQXvWFgXaI/UMMRkhYsiHI/AAAAAAAAJag/-MtLk5slUl8/s1600/IMG_8795.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zFQXvWFgXaI/UMMRkhYsiHI/AAAAAAAAJag/-MtLk5slUl8/s320/IMG_8795.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Maar de echte bomen worden steeds populairder en zijn nu bij elk tuincentrum te koop. Zelfs Ikea verkoopt echte Kerstbomen.<br />
<br />
Wij hebben er vandaag ook 1 gekocht, een Nordlander van 2 meter voor 100 S$ (60 Euro). Ze komen hem morgen brengen tussen 09.00 en 17.00 (erg ruim) want je blijft tenslotte in Singapore wonen, je kan niet zelf gaan slepen, gemak dient de mens.<br />
<br />
Nu alleen afwachten of de boom het houdt, het is tenslotte nog 2 weken tot de kerst en 3 weken tot nieuwjaar<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aBjUVTFp2RA/UMMXh5FFmrI/AAAAAAAAJbs/hKK9o_b_UfE/s1600/11-17-12+Christmas+lights.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aBjUVTFp2RA/UMMXh5FFmrI/AAAAAAAAJbs/hKK9o_b_UfE/s400/11-17-12+Christmas+lights.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Being in the tropics doesn't mean they completely skip Christmas. You would think that Singaporeans, with mainly a Chinese heritage would ignore Christmas as Chinese New Year is only 6 weeks or so away. No, Christmas is very popular in Singapore, not because of the birth of Christ, or sitting around a fire drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows, but because of the shopping. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">There are Christmas sales everywhere, with discounts up to 70% and special "member" shopping nights. Yeah everybody is trying to make some money out of it. No sign of Economic crisis in Singapore, the lines in front of Gucci and Chanel are no shorter than usual.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The German European School organised a Christmas fair as well. Grade 10 is planning to go to India in March to help build a school and they need S$ 3,000 (10 % of the total cost) to do this. They want to earn all that money (not just ask the parents to cough it up). They have been working hard for it already and the fair should bring them a long way. One of the acitivities was a photo booth where you could get your picture taken with Santa for 5 bucks. No other than Youri was chosen to be Sint Nick, together with his buddy Jack. Both have a healthy Santa figure so it made absolute sense (a skinny Chinese doesn't look good with a beard and a German Santa is stretching it as well).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Youri was sweating like a pig after a couple of hours but he enjoyed himself with all the girls lining up to sit on his lap, and they made a nice bundle of money.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7E7jzLQWM0/UMMVtFUqoUI/AAAAAAAAJbY/4Rij3FJIFJY/s1600/73261_522597687760123_1902507071_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7E7jzLQWM0/UMMVtFUqoUI/AAAAAAAAJbY/4Rij3FJIFJY/s400/73261_522597687760123_1902507071_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">All streets and shops are decortated with bright colors and fake Christmas trees, but the real deal is getting more and more popular as well. You can buy them at a nursery or even at Ikea. So we went out to get our one this morning and scored a nice looking Nordlander for S$ 100, which is not bad for a 2 meter tall tree.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">They will deliver it tomorrow between 09.00 and 17.00 as this is still Singapore. "One can not be seen tossing around with a tree in one's car" A man with a van will take care of it, you can even book the disposal already. Hey it is Asia, everything is possible.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o5y-UTXQq9c/UMMWzA8j7qI/AAAAAAAAJbg/OnfcIEgrxN4/s1600/IMG_8820.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o5y-UTXQq9c/UMMWzA8j7qI/AAAAAAAAJbg/OnfcIEgrxN4/s400/IMG_8820.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Let's hope the tree lasts till Christmas as it is still 2 weeks away, and with a lot of luck it might see New Year in three weeks.</span></div>

De weekenden zijn gewoon te kort, of het kan naturrlijk ook zijn dat wij teveel willen doen. Lotte, Youri en Jelle zijn alle drie druk bezig met oefenen voor het school drama, Youri en Lotte hebben allebei rollen en Jelle zit in het productie team (wat dat ook betekent). Daarnaast moet jelle ook nog naar Judo en soms clashen de dingen een beetje. <br />
<br />
zoals ook afgelopen zaterdag. Jelle moest dus kiezen, drama of judo? en met de uitvoering niet te ver weg werd het dus drama.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KvLDCLVK4jk/UJZaicR6jPI/AAAAAAAAJTU/iGrD1OvgJI8/s1600/IMG_0415.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KvLDCLVK4jk/UJZaicR6jPI/AAAAAAAAJTU/iGrD1OvgJI8/s320/IMG_0415.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Lotte hoefde niet te oefenen en dus gingen we met z'n drieen een stukje wandelen in de botanische tuinen en o ja we moesten natuurlijk ook not ontbijten (en lunch).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Daarna ben ik naar Woodlands gereden naar het "Singapore Safety Driving Centre" en me na al die jaren eindelijk ingeschreven voor motorrijlessen. Het vrouwke achter de balie probeerde me met alle macht uit te leggen wat voor een lessen ik moet nemen en gebruikte het foldertje om haar uitleg kracht bij te zetten. Aan het eind vroeg ze me of ik nog vragen had. Ik zei 2. 1) Hoeveel moet ik betalen? 2) Hoe werkt het nou precies want ik heb er geen hol van begrepen? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Het enige wat ik weet dat Zaterdag om 13.05 ik me moet melden voor mijn eerste van 7 praktijk lessen en 7 theorie lessen, die allemaal bijn 2 uur duren. we zien het wel. Misschien voor Kerst toch een Vespa, waarschijnlijk pasen?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Toen snel Jelle ophalen en klaar maken voor zijn sleepover bij "weet ik veel welk vriendje" maar in ieder geval 1 van de fab 4 (Jelle en drie andere).<br />
<br />
Youri bleef ook ergens hangen en kwam om 22.30 thuis. <br />
<br />
Zo weer een dag voorbij. Morgen is het zondag, dan hebben we alleen maar Youri zijn rugby, wat een rust.<br />

Van het weekend was ik effe in Nederland. Ik ben voor mijn werk twee weken in Munchen en in plaats van daar te blijven besloot ik om het weekend naar Castricum te gaan.<br />
<br />
Toevallig zijn Marco en Annemiek plus de kids ook bij pa en ma. de reden is niet zo leuk want Annemiek d'r vader is Donderdag overleden na een strijd tegen kanker maar het zorgde er wel voor dat mijn ouders voor het eerst in meer dan een jaar alle zonen bij elkaar hadden..<br />
<br />
Zondag ouderwets Chinees gehaald, Babi Pangang, Tjap Tjoy met Bami, grote loempia's en kroepoek en daarna Studio Sport.<br />

Dit weekend zijn we naar Maleisie gegaan. zinds kort wonen Chris en Caroline net over de grens in JB en zijn Patrick en Erna van Hong Kong naar KL verhuisd.<br />
<br />
Het plan was om op zaterdagmiddag met zijn alle bij Chris en Caro te zijn. lekker te gaan zwemmen en een hapje eten. Maar zoals altijd gaan onze plannen niet zoals ze gepland zijn. Patrick en Erna moesten eerst nog even "inpakken" omdat ze naar een ander serviced appartment in KL verhuizen en dus kwamen ze pas om 22.15 in JB aan.<br />
<br />
Ondertussen waren de twee andere gezinnen al naar de Koreaan geweest voor een lekkere BBQ met een seafood soep. Een beetje veel maar erg lekker.<br />
<br />
En omdat Youri 's zondags moet rugbyen konden we niet echt blijven hangen, en dus kwam het hele zooitje op zondag naar Sing om lekker op de club bij het zwembad te hangen, te kletsen en plannen te maken voor de kerst op Langkawi.<br />
<br />
Het lijkt erop dat het toch gaat gebeuren al hoe wel we nog niet weten of Erwin en Anneke (Nederland) en Shabih en Esa (Dubai) mee gaan.<br />
<br />
Het was weer een ouderwets rommelig weekend, wel leuk.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">This weekend was very well planned. We would go to JB on Saturday to spend the day with Chris and Caroline who recently moved to JB and meet up Patrick and Erna who finally arrived in KL from Hong Kong.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Sandra visited Chris and Caroline last week to look at their new house but I couldn't make it as my passport was at the Chinese embassy and with Patrick and Erna coming it looked like the perfect opportunity to see their new house, to catch up and to discuss the Christmas holiday plans in Langkawi. Are we going or not??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">But as usual all plans fail when the Moes and Henzens are involved. Patrick and Erna did not arrive till 22.15 in JB as they had to pack for a move to a new appratment. By then the other two families went out for dinner at the local Korean BBQ (excellent choice) for some BBQ and a seafood soup enough to feed another family, if they would have been there.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">We had to leave shortly after the Henzens as Youri had to play rugby on sunday morning. On sunday the whole bunch came to Singapore to see our new house and hang out at the club to catch up and finally discuss Langkawi.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">It looks like we are going even though we might end up with only three families. We also decided to do newyears eve in KL (hey why not)..</span></div>

Gister was het weer tijd voor OCTOBERFEST op de Swissclub. Eigenlijk mag ik natuurlijk niet zeggen dat ik dit leuk vind maar ik heb me best vermaakt. Ook Sas liep flink mee te zingen en te dansen.<br />
<br />
Samen met 4000 andere mensen een avondje bier drinken op hoempa muziek, dansen op tafel en Schweine haxe en worst eten. <br />
<br />
Eigenlijk best wel leuk en dit jaar had ik de volgende morgen geen problemen om op testaan. Komt waarschijnlijk omdat Johnny er dit jaar niet bij was.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Yesterday we went to the OCTOBERFEST 2012 at the Swissclub. As a Dutchie I should say I don't like the "German thing" but I have to admit I rather enjoyed myself and also Sandra seemed to have a fun night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">And to be honest what is there not to enjoy. Together with 4000 other people drinking beer, dancing (preferably on top of the tables) to Humpa music and eating Pork nuckle and Sausage.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">It is entertaining and this year I didn't make a complete fool of myself and had not that much trouble getting up in the morning. Could it be that Johnny not being here had something to do with it?</span></div>

Deze week moest ik voor het werk naar Shanghai en Sas besloot om een paar daagjes mee te gaan om Shanghai te bekijken en om wat kleren te laten maken.<br />
<br />
Ondertussen zit zij alweer op het vliegtuig terug, met een uur vertraging, en moet ik nog tot morgenmiddag doorharken.<br />
<br />
Dinsdag avond zijn we met z'n tweetjes wezen eten in het Grand Hyatt op de 91ste verdieping. Erg mooi uitzicht en het eten was ook niet verkeerd.<br />
<br />
Sas vond Shanghai leuk maar het lijkt haar leuker om volgende keer mee te gaan naar eencstad waar ze wat meer mensen kent, Sydney of HK. Ik denk dat het eerder KL of Bangkok wordt.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UQJt9E0LU9I/UD7E8oMoOVI/AAAAAAAAItM/H91lqwrswP0/s1600/shanghai.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fea="true" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UQJt9E0LU9I/UD7E8oMoOVI/AAAAAAAAItM/H91lqwrswP0/s400/shanghai.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">This week I had to go to Shanghai for work and Sas decided that she wanted to tag along for a couple of days to see Shanghai and to have some clothes made.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">In the mean time she is on her way back, with an hour delay, and I have to stay and work my butt of till tomorrow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">She went out on her own most of the time chauffeured around by a company driver. She went to some markets, temples, the Bund etc etc. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">On Tuesday evening thetwo of us went out for dinner in the Grand Hyatt on the 91st floor of the second largest building in the world. Overlooking the river and the China pearl tower. Very impressivbe and the food was also not bad.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Sandra said that Shanghai is nice but next time she rather goes somewhere where she knows a few more people like Sydney or Hong Kong. Mmmh I think we will have to look more for KL or Bangkok.</span></div>

Het begint nu echt vorm te krijgen ons nieuwe hutje. Na twee weken van schuiven met meubels, troep weg gooien en meer nieuwe troep kopen begint het lijstje steeds korter te worden en kunnen we in de avondjes weer gaan zitten (of werken) en in de weekenden weer eens wat leuks gaan doen met zijn allen in plaats van te klussen.<br />
<br />
Natuurlijk zal San zeggen dat er nog een heleboel dingen gedaan moeten worden, maar je moet altijd wat te wensen hebben. OK er zijn een paar dingen die nog geregeld moeten worden. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1wTDkKSzkiw/UCcNd3dymtI/AAAAAAAAIrI/3vclm8_Q98I/s1600/IMG_8495.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1wTDkKSzkiw/UCcNd3dymtI/AAAAAAAAIrI/3vclm8_Q98I/s320/IMG_8495.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Zoals het slot van de WC beneden, de Singaporese vaklieden besloten dat er verkeerd om in te zetten en dus kan de deur niet dicht, laat staan op slot. Ik zeg altijd spannend, Sas zegt dat moet gemaakt worden.<br />
<br />
Een ander detail is dat de warmwater ketels verkeerd zitten aangesloten. De kleine ketel zit op onze en de gemeenschappelijke badkamer en de grote zit op Lotte's, degene die we niet gebruiken. Ik zeg het is hier zo heet, warm water om te douchen heb je niet echt nodig, Sas zegt je raad het al.<br />
<br />
Het laatste detail zijn de afvoergoten naast het huis, op een paar meter zitten geen roosters waardoor je in een twintig centimeter diepe goot kan vallen als je langs de zijkant van het huis loopt. Ik zeg dat is lekker makkelijk met schoonmaken, Sas zegt... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1DOPvv1Krpg/UCcOdKXOqUI/AAAAAAAAIrQ/DUus_3ZuxKk/s1600/IMG_8472.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1DOPvv1Krpg/UCcOdKXOqUI/AAAAAAAAIrQ/DUus_3ZuxKk/s320/IMG_8472.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Maar alle gekheid op een stokje, het wordt echt gezellig bij ons. Als je zin en tijd hebt kom eens langs we hebben nog steeds genoeg bedden voor een flink aantal logees , maar gewoon een borreltje drinken kan ook altijd. Het adres en telefoon nummer staat in de zijbalk van de blog.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Slowly, slowly the house is transforming into a home. After a couple of weeks of living between boxes, putting together and repairing furniture, we went through the bed, fixing stuff, hanging pictures, cleaning the garden throwing away old stuff, buying even more new stuff we can now take some time off in the evening to rest (or work) and do some fun stuff over the weekends.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-thWcSRMA69w/UCcSsyrzuEI/AAAAAAAAIsE/mVLBFoBv_z8/s1600/IMG_8482.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-thWcSRMA69w/UCcSsyrzuEI/AAAAAAAAIsE/mVLBFoBv_z8/s320/IMG_8482.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The time of DIY is over, my toolbox is filled with new tools I will not use for another two years and the glue, silicon etc. will turn solid and the next time we need it we have to buy new again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">OK, Sandra will not agree with all of this. There is still a substantial list of "things to do" she will say. I agree there are some details that might need some work but that we can arrange over time if at all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"> To give you some examples, t</span><span style="color: #0b5394;">he landlords Singarporean contractors made a couple of small errors and they forgot to do some little jobs:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">For the common toilet downstairs they decided to put in the lock the wrong way around, now you can not really close the door let alone lock it. I say exciting, Sandra says needs to be fixed.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hXYj7Qs5Fag/UCcTMe01SZI/AAAAAAAAIsM/B7GPAFMkdT0/s1600/IMG_8479.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hXYj7Qs5Fag/UCcTMe01SZI/AAAAAAAAIsM/B7GPAFMkdT0/s320/IMG_8479.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Upstairs they decided to connnect the warm water heaters to the wrong bath rooms. The large heater is connected to Lotte's small bathroom and the one person heater to the master and the common bathroom. This means that when Sandra washes her long luscious brown hair, the water will turn cold before she is done. I'm saying it is nice and refreshing as it is too hot in Singapore anyway you don't need hot water. You can imagine what Sandra says.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">We have gutters in our garden that serve to guide the rainwater into the main rainwater drain along the side of the house these gutters have no covers which means you can step into a 20 cm deep, 15 cm wide trench. I'm saying this makes them easy to clean and you should really not come at the side of the house anyway. Sandra says ....</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">But all kidding aside it is a nice house, feel free to come by for a drink or a for a couple of days, we have plenty of beds to put you up. The new address is in the side bar of this blog.</span></div>Tony en Sandra Moeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03595817455340793818noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14747127.post-36252210519679590302012-08-05T20:57:00.003+08:002012-08-05T20:57:27.892+08:00goten / gutters<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Gister hadden we de eerste echte regenbuien sinds we in het nieuwe huis zitten en ogenblikkelijk kwam het water via Sajees afvoer haar bad kamer in gestroomd.<br />
Sandra zat op haar knieen in het water met een ontstopper om te kijken of ze de afvoer open kon krijgen en dat lukte.<br />
<br />
Na afloop zijn we eens gaan kijken waar het vandaan komt en het blijkt dat de goten en afvoer verstopt zaten met planten resten blaadjes etc. Het meeste komt van het dak en dus de trap op om de goot uit te scheppen. <br />
<br />
Eigenlijk had ik Youri de trap op moeten sturen maar ja je bent een beetje te soft papa.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Yesterday we had the first real singapore rain storm since we moved into the new house and immidiatly the water came rushing into Sajee's bathroom through the drain. Sandra saved the day with her plunger and afterwards we had a look where all this water comes from.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">It turns out that the gutters on the roof aere so blocked that the water finds a way through the drain pipes into Sajees room instead of going into the sewer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">So I had to get up the ladder (Youri should have done it but you know dads are soft)v and dig out the gutters. hopefully this wil work.</span><br />

Het weer was redelijk dus Patrick kon onder het toeziend oog van Esther buiten de hamburgers bakken terwijl Erwin friet ging halen.<br />

Het was erg gezellig in the Eindhovense en alle oude koeien werden uit de sloot gehaald en er werd heel veel gelachen. Dit moet toch een soort traditie worden, volgende keer op Langkawi, in Singaprore, KL of in Eindhoven of op een camping in de sta caravan van Erna en Patrick..</div>Tony en Sandra Moeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03595817455340793818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14747127.post-36633254398713992772012-07-08T22:40:00.000+08:002012-07-08T22:40:02.179+08:00Pizza party in Bosa<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Het is een traditie geworden dat op zaterdag avond er pizza's gebakken worden op Cabula. Sinds de pizzaboer in het dorp een beetje ingewikkeld ging doen met de bestellingen een paar jaar geleden dacht vrouw Antje dat kan ik zelf ook, en ze kan het zelfs beter. <br />
<br />
En dus begint zo ergens in de middag de productie lijn te lopen. Eerst wordt het deeg gemaakt, daarna worden de "extraas" gebakken zoals aubergines, uien, tonijn, courgettes, paprika, pepers etc etc en dan rond 6 uur gaat de fik in de oven.<br />
<br />
De meiden rollen de bodems (deze keer 14 want we waren met een man of 11) en dan of tomaten saus of quatro formaggio erop en hup de oven in, een paar minuten later wat mozzarella erbij en klaar is klara. <br />
<br />
Iedereen kan er dan de extraas op doen wat hij/zij wil, mijn favoriet is tonijn, uien en ansjovis, en een half uurtje later zijn alle 14 pizza's verdwenen en zitten we lekker uit te buiken.<br />
<br />
Als een uitxondering is er Woensdag weer pizza avond omdat we Donderdag naar Nederland gaan (Jummie)<br />

<span style="color: #073763;">It has become a tradition on Cabula that saturday is Pizza night. Ever zince the local Pizza man started acting weird Anna decided that she could do it as good or even better.<br /><br />So half way Saturday afternoon the production line starts. The dough is prepared and left to rise. The condiments are prepared (Egg plant, courgettes, onions, peppers, chillies) etc.<br /><br />Around 6 the fire is lit and the real work starts. The ladies start rolling the dough into the pizza base, sugo or quatro formaggio are put on top and into the wood fired ofen it goes. Three minutes later mozzarella is added and Bob's your uncle. <br /><br />Everybody can add what ever they want and an half hour later 14 pizza's are gone and we are adjusting our chairs (and belts) for some relaxation.</span></div>

Het tweede deel van onze vakantie. BOSA. Een klein dorpje aan de west kant van Sardinie. Zoals de Sardijnen zeggen, toen God klaar was met de aarde had hij het mooiste stukje over en gooide dat in de Middelandse Zee omdat er geen land was waar hij het aan vast wou maken, dus Sardinie.<br />
<br />
Sas d'r ouders hebben een mooi huis aan de rivier niet ver van het strand (met de auto) en het is hier lekker rustig. Ontvangst op de mobiele telefoon is minimaal en zeker als je uit het dorp gaat, werken rook signalen beter dan mobiele telefoons.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
De kids vinden het heerlijk op het strand, alhoewel je het echt niet de hele dag volhoud in de bloedhitte. Lekker vroeg heen (rond 9 uur en net na de middag terug. Lunchen met de schoon familie en dan "slap zitten" voor de dames en ik ga effe lekker op tuk (het lekkerste moment van de dag). Tegen het eind van de middag een rondje door het oude dorp met de kids, een ijsje en lekker hangen en mensen kijken.<br />
<br />

<br />
's Avonds weer een rondje langs de boulevard of de rivier en kijken hoe de jongelui hun best doen elkaar te imponeren, Youri vind het allemaal een beetje te veel werk (misschien is dat volgend jaar wel anders?).<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">The second part of our 2012 vacation, Sardegna. The people here say, that when God finished creating the world he had one small beautiful part left and he couldn't find a piece of land to add it to, so he put it in the middle of the Mediteranean Sea, hence Sardegna.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">I must say BOSA is a nice place. Situated on the west coast Sandra's parents have a nice house on the river not too far from the beach. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">The kids love it here, Lotte is baking bread with Nanna and the boys are fishing (but not catching any).</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GQKjXsVrTns/T_gQwR7sphI/AAAAAAAAImo/Hv9TKuoqjZg/s1600/IMG_8204.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" sca="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GQKjXsVrTns/T_gQwR7sphI/AAAAAAAAImo/Hv9TKuoqjZg/s400/IMG_8204.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">The beach is very nice but also very very hot. The water blue and nice and cold, not as warm as in Singapore, but you can't stay all day as you will boil like a lobster in this Italian sun.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">So we tend to go in the early morning to come back for a nice lunch and a siesta (probably the best part of the day for me).</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">In the late afternoon early evening we go out for a stroll through the town along the river to have a gelato and watch the people do their thing. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #134f5c;">Youri is watching the some other things, mhhh wondering how long it will take before he needs an Italian dictionary.</span><br />
