365 days ago...

Yes, exactly one year ago, I made my first post ever here in MTF. It was also my first post ever to be done in any kind of forums online. Until yesterday, I have made 13,983 posts (38.02 posts a day). That's my statistic.

MTF has been kind to me. I have seen some nasty posts in GM or non-tennis threads, but those people who have talked to me have been kind to me. Thank you very much, people! It has been fun here. During the past 12 months, I have also started to chat with...

I am blogging again...

It has been two months since I made those three long reports about the trip to the Netherlands. It is time again to make a new entry!

The reason I kept myself away from my blog is that I was busy dealing with my graduation thesis (a huge paper assignment) and other paper assignments which were due on the same date. And, yes! I have handed those in on that due date! Now the hard boiled semester is over, and I am having well deserved (at least I think so ) holidays.. But,...

This is the third and last report of this trip... If you have read all of these long reports, you are really appreciated by me! I hope you also understand why I really enjoyed the trip while reading... My year 2006 started in a perfect way.

The Day 1 report got way too long! I hope you could read till the end! Here is the Day 2 report. I will try to make it shorter this time...

January 4th, Day2: Breda-Rotterdam-Breda

The radio was turned on automatically at 9.00 AM. That's Yvo's alarm clock. She had said before going to bed, she needed about 30 minutes of listening to the radio to wake up, so I got up first and went to bathroom and shower... I felt cold sleeping on the floor, so...

Meeting friends Yvo and Nienke. vol.1

The days I had always been looking forward to for a long period have come to an end. I feel a little alone now, but want to put my all the energy here to recall the past three days... I could start writing how it was to look forward to this trip for weeks, but it would be too long, so I start from the Day 1 of the trip as logical.


January 3rd, Day1: Zurich-Schiphol-Utrecht-Breda

My alarm rang at 4.30 AM... Usually it is impossible for me to get up that early,...
