music of the night

I spent great deal of my youth in Durban,S.Africa.Although i was still a child then i cherish good memories.Because of my work i can still visit the country regularly and its always like comming home...a really magical country everybody should try and visit

This video i added shows the beauty of the Afrikaans language.Its very simular to my native Dutch language but softer.The song is orinally from Jacques Brel:Ne me quite pas but this is the Afrikaans version: Moe nie weggaan nie sung by famous dutch singer,Herman van Veen.

In my opinion a great and melancholic version of the song...

My housemate

My housemate is sleeping behind the couch right now.Bet you wonder why he is sleeping behind instead of on the couch. Thats because he is a dog! More specific...he is a spaniel named Omar.Now you see, Omar is the kind of dog who needs lot of attention. When i am home he will follow me wherever i go and see what i m up too. But beware when i sit down at my laptop. Within minutes Omar will come and harass me, dropping his stuffed toys and ball on my lap.Its like he is telling me: hey i m much more fun then that strange black toy you are touching with your fingers so often(my laptop hehe).So i will tell him to go away but he doesnt give up that easily.This game will go on for some time untill i m really fed up and tell him to either stop or be locked up in the hall(there he is alone so he doesnt like that at all).Finally he will stop and find a place to have another nap, because sleeping and eating is what he likes doing most.What a relaxed life he has ....
If i ever get reincarnated i wouldnt mind at all to return as a pet dog !

Sin in the City part 1

What better then starting a new year with a blog!Oh yeah , i can imagine all you bitches out there sighing and thinking 'here s another member of the Pink family whose whoring his private life on the waves of the www". Sheer boredness and the fact that as a flight attendant i got so many off days, may have contributed to the creation of this new adventure which has started here today

Amsterdam is my home base and from this sinfull City i often fly out to all corners of this world.A vibrant place where i am always happy to return to recuperate from adventures during my trips abroad.And yes ,ladies and gents, i am in residence again in my penthouse situated in central Amsterdam. Still recovering from too much Champagne, foie gras and fish eggs in Singapore, i look at my stained dinner jacket and somehow it looks like it has been 3 WEEKS on a jungle tour instead of to a GALA party at New Years eve.I certainly must have enjoyed myself although i cant seem to recall any memories of certain parts of that grand celebration hehe. (and that at my age awww...)

Detoxification thats what i need in comming weeks.Healthy food and vitamins.No more bubbles, ciggies and high cholesterol foodies for a while(not too long:-, i m not a health freak and trully believe in moderate exaggeration)

Ok, readers , i am off to bed soon for a short afternoon nap, my favourite part of the day,snoozing away while the city outside my bedroom window melts in the winter sun ...
