Public Transportation Strike in Rotterdam

Yeah... they are on strike!

Can you imagine what this issue cause me? I have to walk +- 3 km, which is not that far, but cause me back and shoulderache! Hoooollly Moooowly, what is actually happening? It is again about a better salary and conditions package ahead of privatisation.

I am just wondering what does a day strike effect on the salary or whatever they requested? A day is nothing! RET workers should strike longer to ensure they got what they want and sure public will definitely burn their vehicle!!!

At the night before I did not think it will cause a serious problem... til I woke up late, all the 'best' possible things came out. I just realised that I have no idea about my surrounding pretty well yet, and there is a 50-50 chance that I might get lost still - and time is ticking...

Thank God that I finally arrived - with hunger and desire to kick somebody's a** yet God is good (all the time) I arrive safely. Decided to buy a cola - I was no desire to drink coffee after that long walk, and (gublaaaag!!! gublaaaag!!!) two sorts of cola come out. Original Pepsi cola and Pepsi cola Max. Of course I took both of them (mwuahahahaha)

Thanks to Mr. Ansari (the International Business Strategy's docent) that he did not decide to give us pop quiz! (should have been laying on bed - no no...I love your class sir! Not because you have the same family name as I do, buy I like your class)

After class I and Miki went to the library to finish the RP assignment. Another emotion temptation was Miki changed his mind about the space for the assignment. Good!!! That means I have further way to finish! Took me another 2.5 hour to finish it before 8 PM, and that cause me no pre-E class! Yeah.. great!!! I kind of wanting to come as it is the last session of pre-E! Well, I guess I have to buy the CD to listen anyway...

Both of us went home at 7.45PM and arrive safely (walking in the rain!!!) at 8.30 PM. What a tiring day, yet I learn one thing: I have to practice my writing everyday... A must thing to do!

Well, I'll see u tomorrow!

Ow!!! I will have my first Spanish Class tomorrow!!! Hope it would be nice!!!

Liefd,

Our Deepest Fear

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?”

Actually, who are you not to be?


You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.


It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

by Marianne Williamson



A poetry which really reflecting some of us' fear. I myself have been struggling this fear for most of my last few years in my life. I have always afraid of my self, of failure, and of not being able to giving my best in this life. I guess our deepest fear has always been part of our life. We might not realise it, but deep in our heart and mind, we know we are one of this poeple.

To all of you who is struggling in this fear, let us show the lights to those who have not touched by it.


If you love drama and inspiring movies, you need to check out "Akeela and the Bee". It's really a touching movies that really touch a part of me as well on my way back to NL.

will post further next time.

A new life has begun.
