To school!

My new school...

This morning I had be at school by 8.30 AM. So Mark and I left home at 7.30 AM by bike to Overveen.

At school we had to go to the auditorium where the headmaster told us a few things. Then we all had to go to the school photographer to have our photograph taken and afterwards we got an explanation about how everything works in and around the school and after that we all got our class schedules from our class mentor.

That mentor is a great and funny man, he makes jokes all the time and he also is our geography teacher. It was great at school, but tomorrow the real lessons will start and than the homework will start as well….

Go now I’ll have to pack my bag for tomorrow, have to pack a lot of books. The first lesson will be biology, than French, than Mathematics and at the end of the day (art)-drawing lessens for 2 hours....exciting!

The DJ table.............

This morning I got up early just to put everything ready for my birthday party which will start this afternoon. At the photograph I am just testing my DJ table. Last week Mark and I downloaded lots and lots of music from the internet, I collected more than 558 mp3’s at my laptop! Well that will be enough to play at my birthday party in our garden. Go now; have to do some more decorations in the garden….. bye… see you later!

The Holidays are still not over yet!

Just hanging outside a bit…..

Hi, here I’m again! Well during the holidays we don’t do very much…. Just hanging around a bit, playing games a little gaming at the playstation or at the PC..... Quite nice! But very little to tell, Just go now, see you later…bye!

Buienradar.nl

Wooooooouuuuwww....what a rain...

Today it rains very often…..but happily it’s not very much….. ...
At Buienradar.nl you can see if it will rain the next coming hours, sometimes quite useful if you’ll have to get outside. I just went out with Bo just before it started to rain, very handy that site!

School books!

What a pile of books eh?

Saturday morning the postman came by with a very large box which was addressed to me. There were my new school books. We ordered those books a couple of weeks ago by the internet. Man what a pile that is!

It was rather fun to see through those books. In about 2 weeks the summer holidays are over and than I’ll have to go to my new school. I’ve already been to my new school by bike just to see what the best route will be to go there, grandpa and Mark went along. Well it turned out to be exact 10 km (6, 22 miles). We cycled the entire track in about 40 minutes and turned home in 36 minutes, it all turned out better than expected.

August 28^th Mark and I have to go to school the first time to pick up our timetable and go to the school photographer. What we will do more that day we don’t know yet. One week later we will go with our new class on a project week to Orvelte, however, it’s all very exciting!

See you later!

Picked up the receiver in Amsterdam!

Went by train to the Amsterdam Amstelstation...

Today we got a phone call from the Mediamarkt where I ordered a new receiver that it had arrived there. So Mom and I went by train to the Amstelstation in Amsterdam where Dad was working quite near today and he pick us up at the station and then we all went to the Mediamarkt.

The Central Station in Amsterdam... just a little break before the train went on…. and later on it left for the Amstelstation near Dad's work...

Well my new receiver is fantastic and man what did it take a long time before I saved enough money so I could finally buy it, but now I’ve got it! From Mom and Dad I got some loudspeakers to complete it all for my birthday which is the end of the month.

Will stop blogging now, I’ve to see if I can get it to work in my room tonight. I can hardly wait to hear my music from my own stereo.... .... Later!

Yindee's birthday!

Yindee and her Mom....

Tonight we have been to Artis. Yindee the little elephant became 2 years old and received a very big beautiful vegetable cake made by a big group of children at 6.30 PM this evening. She loved it, all melons, tomatoes, cucumbers and much, much more and she ate it all with her mummy, daddy and aunt, so cool to see man!

Here is Yindee coming outside, just walking towards the vegetable cake, everyone was singing along, Happy birthday to Yindee, Happy birthday to Yindee!

Yindee standing in the middle of the vegetabke cake.......

Man what do they eat much those elephants...... entire melons disappear in their mouths, strange sight that is!

Well I think that Yindee, had a very nice birthday, she looked very happy with her cake….

After watching Yindee we went on and had a very nice dinner at the terrace of the big restaurant which is in the middle of Artis. Afterwards we went to see the little gorilla who was born a few weesk ago, man that is such a sweet baby!

Here is the mother gorilla and her baby which was born on July 16th, man that baby is small!

It was very very crowded in Artis, but it was very, very great to be there, I had a great evening!
