Don’t wash your hair

On new years day?!
The whole city is simmering, decorations everywhere. Went to Chinatown yesterday and got a feeling of the real deal. Bought hong-bao, tangerines and a new set of clothes for the boys (in the wrong color, but how should I know).

Hawaiian Halal

Hmmm something is wrong here. We are invited to pot luck on Wednesday and I put our name on Hawaiian Pizza (had hoped I could do with fruit salad or likely), but how does the ham fit with Please ensure that the food is halal. I should have taken the Vegetarian Pizza.

Should I go now

Lotte cites Mark Twain today: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

Boulder

Boulder, Dear Boulder, when will I see you again. Janus will in March and I want to get the intense feeling of the mountains, meet up with the old gang, just be there. Flight prices and schedules are crap and it is just not the right time now, but how will it feel when Janus is there and I'm not, on our so special place in the whole wide world.

Twinkle

We have this cool pool, great fun during the day splashing with the kids. Good feeling in the evening swimming especially on the back looking directly at a dark sky with twinkling stars.

Mosquitoes

Whenever reading a Health chapter in one of our travel books I feel like staying at home, closing my windows and just sit very still... Mosquitoes freaks me out, ones again reading on malaria in Southeast Asia. Luckily all the islands of Malaysia seems fine, so back to the more fun part, finding islands we want to see.

Teacher Lydia

How lucky can we be. The teacher we liked so much when we visited LSH @ The Treehouse has relocated to LSH @ Kent Vale and and and Lauge got her - and he dance when she plays the guitar.

Perfect timing

Just before x-mas Lauge started talking about he was ready for Kindergarten and today the spot came at Little Skool House at NUS Kent Vale, vuhuuj.

Monkey

Twice this week we have been chased off the playground of a little nuisance that really likes to show his teeth and to say grrrr. He is amazingly fast and annoying. Feel quite vulnerable with two kids. Gotta get a huge sticks and a pepper spray or ??
