First I saw two young ladies at the mall doing some aerobic steps but they were so lousy that I laughed and I thought these girls were making a fool out of themselves. Then I saw the TV screen in front of them and I found out that they were mimicking those steps from what [...]
All I want for my birthday is an espresso maker! I’m making it easy for hubby to find me a gift this time. I know that if he decides something for me it’s going to be more of a personal gadget. But I told him a few days back that I wanted an espresso maker. He found [...]
I had my chance to take this great steel ball outside SKF’s headquarters a week ago. The school where I teach every Wednesday is close to SKF and incidentally, hubby drives some of the heads of the company more often. When he picked up one head person that day, he asked me to come along so I wouldn’t need to take [...]
“I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. Christmas is all around us, and so the feeling grows. It’s written on the wind, it’s everywhere we go.” It seems like the past Christmas hasn’t ended yet and now it’s here again. It’s the season for giving and receiving again. Sometimes it’s a surprise [...]
I had seen castles on television when I was little but mostly in animated films. They were always huge with many rooms and occupied by a king and a queen, prince and princess with their countless servants. Although I didn’t dream to see a real castle, I wondered once how big it was and how [...]
The first snowfall in my place came as a surprise yesterday. Everybody was like in panic and road chaos everywhere created some accidents. Lucky for those who just stayed home and slept the cold away. This is the season when I get sluggish and all I want is sleep, but I’m sure many of us do. [...]

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 [...]
