Canvas Print

This week I finally decided what pictures to go for on canvas and ordered at Brilliant Prints. Now the nails are set and the prints are truly brilliant.

Yakult

Was googling Yakult and found this (for us) fantastic blog Singapore Adventure: The adventures of two American expats in Singapore, loving it, hating it, and escaping it every chance they get.

So many of the posts makes me laugh, would phone the couple right away if they were still here, but they went back home to sweet Colorado in 2007 (learned their lesson about leaving Colorado, right Jay & Becky?).

Yakult is a Japanese probiotic (very sugary) drink and you see the small bottles everywhere.

Rome - Denmark

Anyone? Please, no more waiting game. Jens has to get home in time for the new baby.

More new fruits

This one (rose apple) all four of us liked and Lauge was quick to snap a photo of the last one. Apple and grape all in one.

Soursop was unpleasant in both texture and taste. Guava (and the prune powder) none of us enjoyed. Custard apple was fine taste, but a hassle to eat with all those seeds. Dragon fruit we find boring, both the white and the red, though must say the red color is impressive (and color everything). Pomelo boring as well.

I really come to like papaya, can take so much lime juice, yummy. And to juice it is good. In the beginning I found it either tasted nothing or if unlucky then this weird taste of soap. Maybe the season is better now.

Run run run

And getting nowhere. Same same on the other machines in the Gymnasium of our Condo. Never thought I would enjoy stamping while watching television (or just looking out over the pool), but I actually do. Most of all I like the convenience.

Summertime

No Spring forward, Fall back in Singapore. Light from 7am-7pm, dark from 7pm-7am, all year round. So close to Equator (100-200km north) I did not expect to see a difference in the angle of the Sun. But we can easily on how lit our balcony get.

Seasons of food

I like seasons and I thought that the change in weather made the difference in food liking for me, but I have been half a year in 30 degrees (and away from all x-mas and winter food) and I´m craving gullash, herrings, potatoes with brown gravy, spiced carrot cake, ...

Hibiscus

West Coast Park is full of blooming hibiscus at the moment. Pink, white, peach, ... I did not know they exist in so many colors and we can watch them all the way from where we enter the park to the playground at the other end.

Acupuncture

Wonder if I shall try Wee Meng Acupuncture Clinic.

Fish month

In Lauge´s Kindergarten they have a monthly theme/book. February and March was Friendship, April is Fish. Today they were examining a dead fish, does fish have a tongue, does fish have teeth, how does fish feel, ...
A bunch of the rules in Kindergarten are different from what we would meet in a Denmark, the same are the schedule. Quite often I have a why on my tongue, but at least as many times I have a hey this is cool.

Danish forest

I get newsletters from Skoven i Skolen (forest in the school), so many good ideas for activities. How to bottle sap from birch. How to use several weeds for cooking.

Yellow bricks

Saw an advertisement the other day for student counselling at National University of Singapore, I bet the University on the front page is University of Aarhus with an Asian student photoshoped in.
