ohhh! What's Happeninggg herrrree!

This was on 20th march, day 52:
well.. Azri and I had to get our Eurail pass to travel back from sweden. And the problem was that that pass can only be bought online (takes too long to deliver) or at Amsterdam. Aysun decided to accompany us there for that day and so, we could use her discount card :) So, we made our way to the Amsterdam Schiphol airport station. But the man there said that we need out passport to buy that pass!! We forgot to bring them! hahah.. we then went over to Amsterdam central to ask over there. The lady there said the same thing! So, I decided to go back to Eindhoven to take the passports and come back. After my lunch, of course.. hahah.. I had falafel for lunch. At that time, i didn't know that we could eat on dutch trains! Or i would have take the falafel on board to save abt 30 mins at least! Back in Eindhoven, I first went to Azri's place to get his passport. Just before entering, i heard somebody using the rubbish bin and going inside after locking the door. I sneaked in with the key tt Azri had given me and rested my bicycle by the garage. I slowly opened the door. It was Pau inside! hahah! He was terribly scared by me la.. He seemed to be cooking something. He popped his head to look and his whole body shook in surprise after that! He dropped what he was holding on the stove, looked again and went "Yooooogaaa!! What are you doing heree!!!?? " At that time, his house owner came in with her 2 kids. She has her own key and normally comes in without ringing the bell. And that took Pau by further surprise! To him, it was Yoga appearing out of nowhere from the back door and some lady with 2 kids made her way through the front door! hahah! As he described later, he was like " What is happeningg here!!??". HAHAH! I couldn't stop laughing about it on the way back. People who saw me must have thought i was crazy!
I saw some people giving out free Oreos at Piazza! So, i choped ~3 packets :

Back home, i made some pasta and packed it in. And after that, i rushed down to the train station to catch the train. I had bought a discount ticket, relying on Aysun's student card to travel with. It was okay on the way from AMS to EIN since the conductor didn't really check. I guess it was cos the train was pretty crowded. But now.. it was pretty empty and boom! the conductor found out tt i was using somebody else's card. He was like.. 'That's not good!' and the fine + the new tic was SGD 102 in total.. anyway, all the discounts i managed to get using other's card would sum up to ard tt amount, i think... cos each way's travel saves me abt 15 to 20 SGD.. anyway Azri and I were sharing it! so, yea.. in the end, i still managed to save $. HAHA! But the sad thing was that Aysun's card got confiscated and sent back to her! They had thought i stole her card! hahah! anyway, It was abt 6+ when i reached amsterdam central!

I was worried that the counters may close by the time i reached. But surprisingly, they were all open! I waited for Azri and Aysun to tell them the surprise that i was fined. They seemed to take it quite lightly and Azri and I went on to get our Eurail passes. And it was there that i found out another thing after paying up for the pass: I had bought my old passportt! The new one was still in my room back in Eindhoven! The lady at the counter nearly went crazy upon hearing this! She tried to put the money back into my account but no.. it wasn't possible!

Luckily, Azri suggested asking sb to mail her a copy of my passport, since FC and Pau and Azri had copies of my passport. So, I called up Pau to ask him to mail it to the lady at the counter! And at that time, his comp hung and he had to re-start it :( Then, I asked FC to mail it too! But Pau's message reached them first and it was all settled! Pheww... The lady was asking me to go back to Eindhoven, pick it up and come back! That was crazy lah! Then, we went to another counter to ask if there is anyway we can travel back to Eindhoven under discount. I'm not gonna say how here, but we managed to get a replacement student card for Aysun :D My worry was put at rest! hahah! We then went around amsterdam to explore a bit.. The shops around canal and the red-light district, mainly.

And.. i like this pic:

haha, there were lots of swans at the red-light district!
I hadn't done much research on amsterdam and and we only had the evening. Pics to be in facebook soon. And at the end of it all.. the tired us took a train back to Eindhoven :D What a dayyy...
