Coco's and to the dentist

Wed, 10/06/2004 - 2:59am

Yesterday Daniël arrived from Hungary. True to tradition we went to Coco's, near the trainstation in Amsterdam even though the last few times he has always travelled by plane.

It was a fun evening. We were 12 people, and we stayed in the bar/restaurant (slogan "lousy food and warm beer") from 17:00 o'clock to midnight. It was great to see my friends.

In the morning I had an appointment with the dentist at 8:00 o'clock. It had been a while since I had a dental examination. The teeth were fine: the dentist performed some cleaning, but I had no caries. Afterwards the dentist took two (digital) x-ray pictures.

3 & 4

Mon, 10/04/2004 - 2:08am

We had a great weekend in Middenmeer. I even won one of the (many) games Steden & Ridders we played. Mieke won another one, Jaap managed to defeat us three times.

I had two driving lessons again. It's really fun, but tiring too. I have the feeling my control of the car is improving; specifically the slow driving (when parking the car or backing up) goes better than before. I only had to push the car out of the mud once.

My father made kjuveche for dinner Sunday, very nice. I was back home around 21:00 o'clock.

In Middenmeer

Sat, 10/02/2004 - 3:30am

After work I left to Middenmeer. Although I always realize I have to leave earlier for the train to Hoorn than for the others, I had to run again to make it -- the train is on a track further than the others. I arrived in Hoorn at 19:10 o'clock; had a warm chocolate milk there and I took the bus 20 minutes later.

It's nice to be in Middenmeer. It's very peaceful here and it's great to be with my parents. I slept 10 hours tonight; I guess I needed that.

Avril Lavigne

Fri, 10/01/2004 - 2:50am

Avril Lavigne.Yesterday Max and I went to a concert of Avril Lavigne, a Canadian singer and songwriter. The concert was in the Heineken Music Hall, a concert hall near the Amsterdam Arena and close to Florijn, where Sasha and I used to live. We first had dinner in a café next to the concert hall; it was very cozy. Then we went next doors, to the Music Hall.

We skipped the pre-show. It was the first time I saw the Heineken Music Hall from the inside. It's a very pleasant place: large, efficient but stylishly decorated. The hallways and entrance gave me the impression of a large cinema. The hallways were wide and high: the building could handle a lot of visitors without giving a crowded feeling. There were free internet terminals as well.

The concert was very nice. I knew only three songs, Avril's hit singles, but her repertoire was very broad and it was a good show. She has a marvelous voice. The audience was diverse, with a lot of young kids.

It was a real fun evening; I was home around midnight.
