March and April saw us welcoming 2 groups of people to our humble little town! First it was the Stockholm exchange people who dropped by for a night on 17 March before they left form Amsterdam and Berlin for their Easter holiday. I was really looking forward to their visit because I'd be meeting Kristy and Ee Min!!!
Our guests from Stockholm
The NUS-TU/e exchange people with Sonia. Of course this is not all the Singaporeans in Eindhoven, there are about 5 more others whom we don't usually hang out with.
Outside Kristy's hotel room, where we thought this was farewell but I ended up staying over in her room because Jordan and I stayed to chat with the girls till about 2am that night.
I miss you girls already!!! If only you could stay a little longer!
Then come April and Cyrus and Jordan had the pleasure to host Shiyan, Chris and Kohei for 2 nights! It's been more than 6 months since we last saw Shiyan! Even she can't remember when we last met up! I think it was at her birthday party. We spent the nights catching up with Shiyan and getting to know Chris and Kohei, over dinner prepared by head chef and assistant chef, Samuel, and rum cocktails prepared by Sonia.
Me and the guests who were getting ready for bed. Kohei (Kyoto University) and Chris (NUS) are exchange students at Brighton, UK and they were touring Holland and Brussels with Shiyan before they end their 4-week (!!!!!) Easter holiday. And Shiyan's only be going back to Singapore in August so it's another 4 more months before a proper BIE reunion at Chiew's! Oh and Shiyan was conversing in German on the phone with her friend and I thought it was so cool. Learning a foreign language was something I wanted to do ever since RGS days but of course my inability to cope saw me dropping Japanese and I also never got the opportunity to learn French in NUS:(
Everybody now. =)
Next up would be Yanli and a few other exchange guys from Denmark who are visiting the Netherlands on 18 April and I would be meeting him on the 19th, probably bringing them to Rotterdam, Utretch/Keukenhof. Yes Yanli, I've found out that the tulip gardens are at Keukenhof, which I would be visiting this Friday so I'll preview it first and decide whether it's worth the 13.50 euro entrance fee ok! haha
