Amsterdam trippin' - double happiness

So it's our 2nd trip to the land of bohemia n hippiness..
double happiness this time 'round
we had a fantastic trip
visiting all our favourite coffeeshops, smokin n chillin
and attending Rahmat's wedding, n hanging out with the dutchies again!



all the colours fill the souvenir stores..


At the Dam Square..





i love the canals intertwined ard narrow streets
behind shops n btw alleys..




Had a picture with Saint Nicholas!
their original version of Santa Claus
ahh i felt a strong sense of Xmas atmosphere
with dutch folk songs n the smell of Poffertjes
in cold n wintery Holland!



Real Ice-skating out in the cold!
ahhh i was SO excited, my first time on ice ;)
Never had the chance to try it in NewYork Rockerfeller centre
since it was wayyyy overcrowded..
this time round it was sooo cool
it wasnt as difficult as i'd thot
n felt so surreal, i thot i was in some scandinavian country
skating on a frozen lake...
awwwwwwww...




Coffeeshop time
ahh me and Alberto's fav past time..
we got stoned n happy ;)


Then we met the Frankenstein!
LOL Faruk is as always, very frankensteiny...;P
we had Tibetan food n some traditional winter snack Poffertjes
it was real nice hangin out with him again
us 3 had a good laugh!





Amsterdam is 1 of the cities in the world
that looks wayy radiant n vibrant at night!


A joint at our all-time fav before hitting the bed!




RAHMAT'S WEDDING
we went to The Hague for my Dutch-Indo fren's wedding
woa it was traditionally Indonesian,
everyone was decked out in trad costumes,
Arabic greetings were seen everywhere..
i really felt as if i was in Asia!
it was quite an experience man, i adored the colours, food n
of course, being able to witness my fren's wedding
was wayy overwhelming!



The funny part was when we first arrived in the main hall
the girls and guys had to sit separately
all my frens were guys,
so that left me all alone haha

waiting for the bride n groom to arrive..




Rahmat n Ifa all decked in traditional bridal wear..





Bou, Faruk and Jimmy!
ha it was funny to see them in Holland this time round
all adult-like n decked out in suits lol




awwww....
i was so happy to be there ;)





Indonesian food was soo good
we didnt have the chance to stay for long
since we had to catch the train back to Amsterdam



Night falls, Central Station






i dig the red-light district!
it gives prostitution, raw sex, a whole new meaning lol


finally last dinner
n more smoking in coffeesshop heh

it was a really short trip
but so intensive n fulfilling
we saw alot, brought back alota memories
n the best thing was seeing my frens again!
i know it's nt gonna be the last time ;)
