My Digital World

Two weeks ago, I had a Christmas dinner with my friends who I know them for almost 10 years. It all started at the time when the internet in Holland is booming and when I discovered an American website where many Chinese-Dutch-Born (CDB) are chatting with each other. That time, I get know of Lili and Hoiwan. Via Lili, I know Lynette. Today, our friend group extended. Because of their relationship.

A month before Xmas dinner, we (again) spam each other with a lot of e-mails. Via the e-mail, we try to arrange of what&where&when we should do this annual event. Like two years ago, Lili invited all of us to her place for Xmas party. Again, each of us should prepare their own food and bring it to Lili.

The Xmas party was very nice. We ate, chatted and played games. It was my first time to play a Wii game. Although my bro has a Wii, I have never touched it. It was also my first time that I met Rutger. Rutger is the boyfriend of Hoiwan. Although they have been for 2 years, we never get the chance to meet her (new) boyfriend. Rutger is a nice Dutch guy. I think Hoiwan and Rutger will be a happy couple in terms of working area, since both of them are/become lawyers soon.

Let me share some pics with their stories:


The group picture! :) They said I look more fat. :P


Those are our X-mas presents. The green one on the right top is bought by me.


Lili and her boyfriend Samuel.


Hoiwan and her boyfriend Rutger. Hoiwan called his boyfriend "aap" which means in English monkey. Does he look like a mon1key?


Lynette girl! Too pity that her first relatiosnhip ended. But she is not the only single in the house. :P


Okay, myself in the pic. This pic is taken by Lynette's cam. I never understand why people like snapping me while I am in the kitchen.


A picture of two single persons :P


After having a very nice dinner, we go to open all the presents. This is what Lili is asking for.


I didn't expect that Hoiwan is interested in cooking books. Maybe she wants to prepare to be a 101% good wife. :P


Lynette almost forgets what she was asking for. "Did I ask for a photoframe???"


Don't forget to set up the time to work. ;)


Rutger is asking for a nice roman. I hope he will like this one. :)


Last picture of Hoiwan. :)


After we all get our presents, we have to exercise. So, let's play Wii!


This is a game we played.


After playing Wii, we played a board game: Big Brain! :) The competition is guys vs girls. Guess who are the smartest? :P

Because of the big success, we decide to organise another party: game-party :) I am really looking forward to it.

The day after the X-mas party, which ends at 4:30AM!!!!, I was sooooooo tired. I do not have any energy to do something for my study. Francis said that I did not take landscape pics for a while. So here I give it a try:





















There is one bad news. Gunjan is leaving Delft. He sent me a personal mail to invite me for his farewell drinks. He does not want to stay in Delft for the Ph.D. position. He decides to work in Belgium. I hope we can still in keep touch although we cannot see each other at the U. Take care Gunjan! I wish you many lucks!!!


This is Gunjan! He finished his M.Sc. in Delft with honor degree.


Marijn is the first one who leaves the party.


Marion, the secretary of the 18th floor.


I Dunno this guy....:P


All the pretty women Ph.D. from the 18th floor.


The smartest people from 18th floor. But I do not belong to them.


A groupphoto! :)

Last Sunday, Yu-Fang was visiting me. I am very glad that she appreciates our friendship. We went to shopping for food. I was on my bike and she said that it had been a while back that she sat back at the bike.

I personal think that Yu-Fang is a veru xin fu girl. She has a very good family since she talks alot about her family, especially her brother and mother. On msn, there is a picture of her with her grandma. Surprisely, she didn't mention about her boyfriend very much. Maybe I ask her more about her boyfriend. :p

Patrick came along last week. He said that he gave up his M.Sc. study. But he bought me a good news as well: he gets a very good job offer from Erasmus. He is well paid and the good thing is, is that he gets paid if he continue with his M.Sc. in Delft. Therefore, he decides to finish his degree. :)

Last weekend, Aletta also came along. She was here for shooting. Let me show you my most recent shoots:





















This is a very long post with many pics. Enjoy!:P
