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.

The Mighty Mughals

Had a great day at the Asian Civilisations Museum learning about Mogulriket (I´m still a fan of the norwegian wikipedia). Lauge tried to shoot with bow and arrow, he got a henna tattoo, I got to feel the skin of an Albino Python, we made a paper Taj Mahal and a bracelet. And we got to see a bit of the great exhibitions they have. Sure in for their next festival.

Where is home

I got to the point where I often recognize people. At the busstop, when grocery shopping, walking in the park and especially on the way to the kindergarten. So nice with all these smiles and small chats, such a nice feeling of home.

Come home

Feel like staying up all the way till Janus is here, so happy he is heading east now. He will soon jump 15 hours, so no more this weird thing about being on different days. 19 days, it is the longest time away from each other since having kids. Better go to bed, it is past midnight and Janus probably not even on the first flight yet and will at the earliest be here 25 hours from now.

The Gruffalo

I'm so in the UK when thinking of the The Gruffalo.

A mouse took a stroll
through the deep dark wood.
A fox saw the mouse
and the mouse looked good.

And now we bought tickets for the performance by Tall Stories. I'm looking forward to take Lauge there.
And both Lauge and Ulf to The Magic Garden.

Mashed banana

Really get that chocolate cake (whatever style) flying.
Another spongy maker is leftover rice in the bread.

A smell of

Someones birthday around here? This morning there was heavy cooking with dried fish and now durian is all over us.
And Lauge is having a stomach bug. Maybe I should put blue tack in my nose.

Happy Pool Life

A jump in the pool and all family members are full of smiles. Simple and so so good. Water water water give me more.

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.
