highlight week 30

so you know i've been doing my timesheets when i start titling my blog entries with the week number.

charlie and the chocolate factory
went with robert, and during the movie i stuffed myself with a bag of peanut M&M's and a tub of Ben&Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream.

this is such an amusing movie! i read charlie and the chocolate factory for the first time when i was 10 and i've read it many times over since; it is one of my favorite books. tim burton did a fab job translating roald dahl to the screen! you have to go see it!

shopping night
thursday night is late-night shopping in amsterdam so i went with denise and her friend, patricia, who is on stopover from hong kong to rio de janeiro on a business trip. we walked all along the negen straatjes, tried a few clothes on in the sale at shops in magna plaza.

i am looking for an evening bag, for our wedding party in august. i fell in love with every other bag and shoes i saw, but i managed to restrain myself from buying anything until i find the stuff i need for the wedding.

i looked at some jewelry as well, and made an appointment at an atelier for saturday, to look at some pieces i like, and see if they can be made to match the colors of the wedding outfit :)

then denise, patricia and i went to japanese pancake world for an okonomiyaki dinner. i stayed over at denise's new apartment. she lives 5 minutes away from leidseplein, on the top floor of a building that overlooks the vondelpark. arrrggghhhh, i want a flat like that!

denise made me a very yummy chocolate cake when we got home. it was souffle-like and very chocolatey. poke it with a fork and all the chocolate sauce goodness just bursts forth. i had it with vanilla ice cream. so so yumm. i went to bed happy :)

have a good weekend everyone!

I'm so psyched about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... I want to eat chocolate and ice cream when I watch it also! ;)

I can't wait to see how amazing you'll look at the wedding!

Mmm... you are so lucky to be very close to Japanese Pancake World!! :D
