It Was So Cold Outside!

I experienced the hardest/coldest winter in this land a month ago. Thats the toughest winter in my life since I step my feet in this land 9 years ago. We were socked with subzero temperatures and have turned into a teeth-chattering misery for more than 3 weeks. That was one of Germany´s coldest winters in 100 years. Cuba bayangkan. Temperatures fell as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius. The country is covered in a spectacular sheet of snow and ice. Everyday we were bundled up with four layers of clothes whenever we go out. During the brutal weather I really miss the constant Malaysia´s hot weather. I am suck in adjusting to cold weather. I am kinda fed up with this long and cold winter.. When it was extremely cold, everywhere freezing, this is how we spent our weekend on the frozen lakes....main slide. I am hoping the weather will get milder soon. I think everyone is looking forward to Spring and forget about subzero temperatures and record snowfall experienced over the past weeks. I miss getting back to the terrace and enjoying some warm weather and those grew views back to colours... I am just happy this weekend we´re going to have Spring weather..temperature will be up to 13 degrees with lots of sunshine..I hope it will stay like that..:)

The beginning..the present

Actually, as far as we’re concerned, the house is pretty close to perfect (at least the inside). Honestly, I am so happy. The house functions just the way we dreamed it would. All good though, and we've made it to the milestone. If all goes according to plan we should be moving in April/May. Hubby and I are a little more realistic and we will be happy if it happens before the Summer. At the moment, I have a long list to think about, a lot of things that I need to sort out before moving into a new place. I wish to get help to make this tiring process a little easy. Mau start packing but don´t know where to start. Pening kepala mau fikir tambah lagi with these two soldiers.. I didn´t manage to blog about the step by step building progress as I promised earlier as life behind the puter is always occupied with so many things:) Here are the beginning and the present building situations of our house.

Bodenplatte (Foundation for the basement)

Setting up the Keller (Basement)This is the keller (Basement)

Filling up soil around the basement.

Two big windows for the room in the basement and setting up the 1st floor (Living room and kitchen) and top floor (bedrooms and bathroom) Our new born house when its grey.. When it snowed and bright.. the scaffolding are still standing until the house is painted hopefully in Spring.

We look forward to a new beginning..I hope to share more soon...:)

Kinder Fasching

Fasching (Carnival) season was here again. In case you ask, Fasching is a time of wild fancy-dress parties and costume-balls, which are open to the public. Carnival reaches its climax in big street processions with elaborately decorated floats. This yearly event celebrated in Germany on Jan. 31 through Feb. 5. Every year I dress my boys up when this event comes as they´re celebrating Fasching in their kindergarden. This year Kenneth requested to be dressed up as a Sailor, unfortunately we couldn´t find the costume, he end up dressing up as a clown...but he enjoyed being a clown. Kyle became a little pirate this year. He was wearing Kenneth´s costume for the last years so I save some euros from buying :)
