Achtung! Changing Time Today!

How many of you woke up this morning to clocks having different times, an hour apart, throughout the house? I personally awoke to see my TV and VCR with one time, my Computer and Phone with another. Daylight saving time comes to an end pula sudah. Althought hubby talked about it yesterday I forgot all about it today. I only changed my clocks when half of my Sunday almost gone. During the night between March 29 and 30, clocks in Germany and elsewhere should be moved forward one hour as Summer time, or dayligh-saving time, begins. Start from now people can enjoy the day a bit longer, can get more light of the day, can take advantage of the bright evening (now can enjoy sitting and sipping German beer in the beer gardens hmm!) but in the morning the sun appears to rise one hour later..we have to get up when its still dark...oh that will make me extra hungover!. Now, some mums (maybe I´ll be one of the confused mom) have to try adjusting our small kids. They must go to bed an hour earlier and must be tired an hour earlier, they must eat their snack and wind down 60 minutes earlier than usual!! .. Oh whatever...Spring has Sprang!, Itu yang penting! hehe...I am ready to enjoy seeing greenery soon!.

Spring In My Heart!

I just love those flowers. Aren´t you? That´s what I love most when Spring comes...FLOWERS!. Tulips, Irises, Daffodils And Hyacynths...those are my favorite!. We went to a shopping complex a few days ago, my intention was to do a little bit of shopping therapy..the boys need some Spring clothes but the crowd was unbelieveable. Many people still on holiday, school children still on holiday and everybody prefers spending their time in a shopping complex like me (except that I am not working!). Its difficult to move around what more shopping especially with small children tagging along plus buggy!. So I was actually went home empty hand!. Trying to escape the crowd I went to the top level where there were less shops, less shoppers...While strolling around the shopping complex we found this small island garden full of spring flowers...Luckily I had my camera with me I quickly snap the flowers with my little models in it haha...Seeing those flowers I remember our trip to Keukenhof in Holland sometimes in Spring a few years ago. Keukenhof is the most beautiful Spring Garden in the world!. I would definitely love to go there again, but I don´t know when..Only time can tell!. I cannot get enought seeing all the colourful tulips display over there...gatal hati mau cabut bawa pulang bah! Haha...

Back To Normal!

Some of those!

Easter is over, hubby is back to work and Kenneth back to school. Despite heavy snow storm here, I still have to drive Kenneth to school, he seems to miss playing with his kiga friends after a short break. He would never want to skip kiga even for a day!. So what about Easter? Gisela and Charlie, our nice neighbours showered the boys with tones of chocolates. If we have had spent Easter with Oma I am sure we got more because Oma and grand aunts like to pamper the boys with sugar!. I was actually glad that we stayed home hehe...Now we have a whole year's worth of chocolates at home, and the boys would be jumping off the walls eating all those.
On Easter Sunday the Kenneth was eager await the arrival of Easter Bunny, due to extreme bad weather outside, Egg hunting had to be done indoors. Hubby did the job, hiding some egg chocolates upstairs, living room until the basement while the boys still in bed!. Kenneth enjoyed and excited doing the hunting while Kyle who still doesn´t understand enjoying eating!. Poor Kenneth still delighted about rabbit and egg! LOL. We had a blessed Good Friday, I say so, because my family and I went to church. They had a service especially for children. The priest was very children friendly!. It was a short service, only last for 30 minutes. Eventhought it was only a short service but to me, is a wonderful blessing from God this Easter! as the closing, children went up to the altar and placed flowers on the cross.
I did enjoy the long weekend, because I don´t have to get up early and be anywhere. Sometimes I feel like I'm constantly running, so I have been slowing down a little bit. It's not like I do NOTHING, I still have the laundry to do, cleaning, meals and beds to make. But I do it more at a pace I would prefer, leisurely, a bit lazily.
Easter Sunday was nice, sunny but bitterly cold!. Initially, our plan was driving to the nearest mountain (Mountain Arber) which located just in the boarder between Germany and Czekia Republic. Its only one hour driving from our place. It could be so much fun sleighing one more time before the snow season over, unfortunately, they forcast strong wind in the highland so got to changed our plan. It is always blowing up there even in the best of weather and on sunday it was bound to be a bitterly cold wind. So hilang harapan mau main snow. BTW, we have been there during the new year holiday, we had so much fun sleighing.
After breakfast and did the egg hunting, we drove to hubby´s place, Munich city. We brought the boys to the Deustches Museum. Its a museum of technology and Science and its the world´s
largest museum. Luckily it was opened that day but not long. When we reached there we had to join the long queue to enter the museum but the waiting periods are surely short, fortunately. You cannot figure out how big it is before visiting the museum. The size is unbelievable…its huge!. The boys seem to be fascinated from this and I was so impressed!. I enjoyed it very much. I took photos from every angle with my old Sony dig cam, after taking a few shots the battery habis! larr... The museum’s exhibition area spread over four floors. It has over 15.000 exhibits. I was absolutely amazed by the size of the exhibits such as aircrafts and ferries and locomotives, submarines, sailing ships and many more. Due to the time limit, we didn´t see all the exhibits, there is still a lot there we haven´t discovered yet. We promise will come there again with the boys another time when hubby has a day off from work. If some of you intend to visit Munich one day make a point to visit this museum (only if you´re interested in technology and science hehe), I think its really worth to see.

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny There's a story quite funny, About a toy bunny, And the wonderful things she can do; Every bright Easter morning, Without warning, She colors eggs, red, green, or blue. Some she covers with spots, Some with quaint little dots, And some with strange mixed colors, too -- Red and green, blue and yellow, But each unlike his fellow Are eggs of every hue. And it's odd, as folks say, That on no other day In all of the whole year through, Does this wonderful bunny, So busy and funny, Color eggs of every hue. If this story you doubt She will soon find you out, And what do you think she will do? On the next Easter morning She'll bring you without warning, Those eggs of every hue. ...M. Josephine Todd, 1909

I truly hope everyone has a wonderful Easter, Happy Resurrection Sunday! May you be blessed this new season in your walk with Jesus and May the Lord send many Blessings your way, today and always.

Happy Easter!
