Heathrow

Yes! The stupid Heathrow rule is over. I can take my mp3player, a book, camera and so on with me! In a normal daypack! Let's hope it stays that way!

Today I worked at Bever and there are many things I would loooooove to buy (but I have to wait until payday). A small sleepingbag, a moneybelt , lightweight towels, everything for backpacking really!

Just a message

I have to keep my fans up to date don't I? ;)

Well, I decided I am going to stay in Hong Kong. I will arrive there on december 11 in the evening (local time) and I found a hostel which has airport pickup service. Great after a night on the plane!! On december 12 I will continue to NZ.
The only thing I am 'worried' about is that my flight is via London Heathrow and they just announced a new rule. Not only when you fly to USA, but also Asia, Australia and New Zealand: no hand luggage allowed! Except for the necessary things like ticket, passport, money (in a plastic transparant bag). No book, no mp3 player, no camera, no nothing on a 11 or 12 hour during flight.... that sucks! Hope it will be over in 3 months ...

Last monday and tuesday I worked at Ish Institute in Amsterdam. It was fun but also a little frustrating. On monday I wasn't able to capture the material we were supposed to work with because the camera (one with those small dvd's for recording) didn't have the possibility to connect to the computer! The 2nd day I had it all captured (took half a night) on a borrowed external harddisk but there was no space to copy it to the harddisk of the Ish-computer... But I got to meet Marco, Junadry, Lynn, Enigma and Liam (from the Virtualish project) again!

Wednesday I started my job at Bever and I realised I really like doing something else for a while. My colleagues are extremely nice and I enjoy working with them. Today we had lots of Jupiler beer after work :)

That's all for now! Take care and until the next post!

Singapore, Bangkok, Hongkong, Tokyo or Denpasar?

I started preparing my journey to New Zealand about a week ago. Except for swimming through information about visa, the country, working and adrenaline sports, I now have to choose where and how long I want my stop-over. Singapore, Bangkok, Hongkong, Tokyo or Denpasar, I don't knoooooow... I'd like them all :D Well, I could go to Hongkong on the way to NZ, and Tokyo on the way back to Europe.. or Bangkok? Or Denpasar? Grrrrrrrrr!

Oh, except for the luxury of doubting which city to go to, things are going pretty well!
I sold the 'Echo set'.
I will start my Spanish course on september 26.
I got a job and will start working (and saving money!!!) next week.
I got another small job at ISH (editing) for a couple of days.
I am almost finished with the portfolio part for the Utrecht School of the Arts Award.

Pain in the ass

Aaaah, I am being a pain in the ass to myself at the moment. I just want too many thiiiiiings as usual! Most of you know I am off to New Zealand in december. Now, I am looking for a job to be able to pay the journey. I thought I would do any job as long as it was paid, but noooooo, I am being really difficult as always: I want a job that has to do with theatre, media, editing etc. Which is hard because I am available for 4 months only. And during these 4 months I also want to do a Spanish course, loads of sports (i'm an addict), create a website and a DVD for different costumers, and take part in the competition for the School of the Arts Award.

So.

I am trying to sell the 'Echo set' and I got an offer! Must consider. It's better than taking the thing apart!
