amsterdam. and her.
amsterdam was well, sinful. but it's supposed to be known for its sins anyway. snow patrol's concert was a let-down though. managed to change my impression of the band from neutral to pretty bad. thought they were too drama-mama and their sense of humour was basically just french vulgarity.
red light district was interesting though it was my 2nd time there. but this time we went to watch a truly 'amsterdam show'. not quite what i expected but it's definitely amusing.
tried what everyone in amsterdam has to try. it was certainly an experience, but not one that is hard to forget though.
oh the nam kee restaurant there served the BEST roast duck i've ever had in my entire life! we ordered one whole huge duck for just the five of us amongst other dishes and totally cleaned out the plates. had 2 dinners there in the 3 nights that we were in amst. im salivating just thinking abt it.
the worst part of the holiday was the beginning, and unfortunately, the end.
i burned myself pretty badly 5mins before i was due to head for the airport - had the entire cup of noodles poured all over myself and mind you, the water was 100 degrees literally since i just poured it into the cup immediately after it boiled. luckily, i was all dressed, with my thermal wear, jeans and boots. and still my thigh and a little of my chest area got burned. cant imagine what would it be like if i was wearing just my shorts. wanted to give the trip a miss initially since i had to run ice water over my body for the next 5mins as i thought i was going to die, plus my room was in a big mess with noodles everywhere.
but if that was not bad enough, my 'friends' were pissed with me for wanting to back out last min w/o showing the least bit of concern for my burned skin. and i was 'forced' to go ahead with the trip. imagine the burning sensation i had to endure throughout the cab ride to the airport, plus the most deafening silence throughout the journey as no one spoke. my thigh was burning so bad halfway through the ride that i almost wanted to just jump out of the cab and into another to head back home. but what hurt the most was the way my apparently gd friend reacted towards my mishap.
yet i forgave her and even initiated a conversation with her soon after we arrived at the airport.
but how would u feel if u confide in someone your darkest secrets and she cant stop threatening to tell the world everytime u accidentally stepped on her toes, most of the time w/o even knowing it? and honestly, they were the slightest of the slightest things. and then u have to live in fear of her erratic temper and the day she would spill everything out.
and surprisingly, or rather not surprisingly, i had never been pissed with her even though she goes a little overboard at times. even though i may be, i seldom show it. in fact, i believe i never did. always ready to resume our friendship as it is whenever she wants to or is ready to.
but at times, enough is enough. like today.
