Moved
The last time I remembered blogging at the blogspot site was some time in July, then I said I was quitting the blogging there and thinking of moving. I have indeed moved and updated my blog but the problem was that I suddenly found it messy so I tried to clear up the mess. It took me a couple of weeks (or was it months?) to be totally satisfied. Well! I am not really satisfied now but I have done my best, so I think I will be ready to share my piece to the world again in a couple of days.
3-country Point
Hubby is off today so our destination would be to Limburg, it’s a province in the south of Netherlands. Normally we would go to Valkenburg, to Vals and then drive to Belgium and to Germany and drive back to Holland. Unfortunately today we have Sam and her hubby joining us for dinner so we had to just go to one place and drive back home. It still took us 3 hours to reach Vals where we could find the tourist attraction called Drie Landen Punt meaning 3 Countries Point. It is where Belgium, Germany and Holland meet.

Daphne and Geraint in Rotterdam
Today Daphne and Geraint arrived in Rotterdam. I went to the Centraal Station to meet them and get their luggage locked in a cabinet there so they could walk around Rotterdam without the stuff. We went to a Suriname little restaurant to get bread with meat for lunch. I left them with a list of Rotterdam’s attractions that they could go and see while I went back to work.
We met again after 5.00pm at the big Engels Restaurant/Cafe in the building. Poor Daphne had to eat up the chocolate cake she ordered but didn’t finish, when I scolded (according to Daphne) her for not finishing the small piece of cake. Poor poor girl. Perhaps after having seen the children in Africa without any food, I tend to tell everyone to eat up their meals and not to waste any cents. As for these two students, although I only met them now for the first time, I considered them already in the family since they are my fellow Sabahans.
We went to do shopping at a Chinese supermarket, I told them to take anything that they felt like eating. Finally I could pamper my own people again.
So folks, I would like to introduce our 2 Sabahan friends:Daphne Lim is from Kota Kinabalu studying medicine in Russia, while Geraint Sitaun is doing his engineering course in Germany. They were studying at the same school in high school.
