First of all, I would like to apologize for not visiting your blogs for the past few days. It’s because me and hubby have been on a long trip from Gothenburg, Sweden to Singapore. The countdown I was referring to on my previous post ended on Sunday and started a new event to share about. [...]
Sony Ericsson W995 (Photo from: Sony Ericsson.com) WiFi ready phones are becoming a must trend in all mobile phones nowadays. If I have to choose between 3G and WiFi, I’d prefer the latter best. The foremost reason why is the cost difference between these two mobile internet connections. I have been mobile browsing with 3G [...]
Incidentally, Michael Jackson’s Gone Too Soon song can now be dedicated to him. Life’s irony cannot be anticipated and it’s sometimes painful, sorrowful. Michael’s supposed to be concert tour in England in July could have been his revanche for the lost years. The 750,000 tickets were sold in minutes and with this huge crowd, his [...]
Yes, yes, yes! I do, I do, I do! I always say ”yes” and ”I do” when Sandra Bullock comes up with a new film. Her charisma is irresistible with her cute but sometimes naughty eyes roll on the big screen. The first movie I saw with her was “While You Were Sleeping” and I became a huge fan after that. And [...]
Sunrise: 04:13 am Sunset: 10:18 pm Summer solstice has fascinated me in many ways. Apart from seeing more of the day in summertime, it is the day when the sun stands still and the longest day of the year, being today, ends the midsummer celebration. It was prognosed earlier that the weather wouldn’t conform with the celebration as [...]
cod fillét and what’s that sauce This is a continuation of my previous post. The only moment when almost everybody stopped talking was during lunch. The food, somehow, really kept the mouth from talking and I was glad it did. I could hear no talking but the sound of cutlery placed on plates. Seemed better for a moment. Some looked [...]
France is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world, with serene countryside, exquisite architecture and cuisine that makes you want to move there. Not everybody visits France for its history, or even because they are visiting a friend though. Some go there for the casinos. Despite the fact that different types of gambling, [...]

Online Catalogues For Easier Shopping
Shopping online is a trending activity in front of the computer. It’s, however, a decisive choice to browse for catalogues online before indulging into excessive shopping. The eckersleys art craft catalogue, for instance, gives an overview of the products for art and craft enthusiasts.
Quite a late post about the start of Advent observation here but it has just started and just one of the four candles has been lighted. This is one event in this country that I don’t want to miss. Each year I spend time preparing my place for Advent. My kitchen window will always look [...]
To be honest, I hadn’t eaten these small, bite-sized dessert until a few months ago when we entered our room at Sheraton Hotel in Stockholm. I didn’t even know it was called French Macarons. I learned the name on Pinterest when I saw some pinned photos which I thought kind of well-known to me. I thought they’re just plain cookies but when I [...]
Decorative Pumpkins for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner and some children can’t really wait to dress up scary. I always prepare goodies and candies just in case they come to ring the doorbell and rant “trick or treat?” in chorus. I’m not used to decorating my home for halloween but a tint of orange or yellow as a [...]
It’s my first time to join Vår Ruset yesterday at Slottsskogen (park). It’s a yearly race for women here in Sweden and Gothenburg had its turn yesterday. It happens in the month of May when Spring is at its best. All women at work or in different organizations are welcome to join. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a bit of luck [...]
We thought our final gathering at work this time would be uninteresting since we were told that the administration would not be treating us a free Christmas smorgasbord (julbord). We were instead told to have potluck, which sounded more or less pleasing to everyone. But it turned out to be a smorgasbord (smörgåsbord) of international food culture. From pasta to pirogue, spring rolls [...]
Revisiting National Museums of World Culture
This autumn break has been relaxing for me despite the paperworks I’ve needed to be done. But that’s the life of a teacher – working a little on school breaks. We’ve had to work for three days this week and yesterday, the final day, was a competency development at the Swedish National Museums of World Culture. The [...]
