Try pronounce these words..Reinprechtsdorfer straBe

Try pronounce this word....Reinprechtsdorfer, margaretenurtel, don't forget, all the 'u' must have eyebrows.

I went for the Nineteen Day Feast tonight. Let me show you how to go there. First, from Zena's place, Ober Amtshausgasse, you walk to Reinprechtsdorfer straBe, turn to Margaretenurtel Strabe, look for U4 (train station) take the train to Bahn Hutteldorf, go out of the station, another train to Gersthof staion and then walk to thimigasse. Are you there now ? It takes a mouthful to pronounce these word and wait till you need to ask for direction and no one speak English !

Anyway, it was fun, the air was cold and crisp and I really enjoyed it especially when you find the place easily. anyway, as Lani said it, I love everything, everywhere I go, I fall in love with the place. But I really love the cold air. although my heels are cracked, my lips are dry, my skin and hair (on my head) are dry and rough now.

Zena kept asking me if I am bored, how can I be bored ? Boredom is for someone who doesn't know what to do with her life.. there are many things to do here, like playing with Gaia and Salome, cook for Saloma, changing Saloma, walking Saloma and looking at Saloma. Zena has this group of friends who are like her, with small children, they are friendly and I started introducing the Pendents to them tonight.

Oh ya, last Sunday I went to the museum with Hui Tze, to do what the people here do best... go for art exhibition, sit around the cafe, do nothing, watching people and window shopping. So we did all the above and spent the whole day doing nothing. That was when I got the inspiration to write my blog about the Then and Now.

Then and Now.....part 1

"Anybody can be happy in the state of comforts, ease, health, pleasure and joy. But if one will be happy and contented in the time of hardship, trouble and prevailing diseases, it is the prove of Nobility "


Let's go back to 17 years ago then and now...

Then - we spent our night in low cost house in klang, we were happy, we were together, we played board games, we talked, I used to just lazed around while they sang for me while Grete and Prema did their homework.

Now - we fly around the world, we are in every corner of the world. we are still happy but
hardy together. I miss them very much especially their singing.

Then - Remember the first night I did Cosway, when I came back with RM2000/- sales, we took turn to count the money, the excitement we had ?

Now ? Well, Lani and Zena told me not to say that we are rich but I am rich although I never have money in the bank but my pocket is never empty.

Then - we can afford only one mango a week and I had to slice it and fed them one by one,
nobody should have a bigger slice, it won't be fair then

Now - we buy mango by crate but unless someone peel and slice it, nobody would take the
trouble to eat it.

Some time I wish we are still in No. 4 Jalan Sembiling and living the simple life but it was just a thought. I would never want to exchange anything for our life now. I am happy THEN and I am happy NOW too

To all of you, my daughters, can you remember anything else that you like to add in ?
