Chinese New Year Lion Dance

Lion Dance at our condo - Hannah was excited, Matilde excited mixed with reservation :-)

Fettis dagen - Fat Tuesday

Today is 'fettis dagen' and all of Sweden endulge in 'semlor' (cardamon buns with marsipan and whipped cream) I had in a bright moment a plan to bake at home, but since i rarely succeed in using the dry yeast available in Singapore (or Any dry yeast for that matter...), we were grateful to be invited to a friend's 'semle' party - and the 'semlor' were superb!!! 

After the Swedish tradition, which Hannah & Matilde weren't overly impressed about, they wanted Singapore food and we went to a halker stall to get chicken rice :-)

Trick Eye Museum

A a few hours well spent in Sentosa's Trick Eye Museum! The pictures afterwards were actually more fun, then looking at the various items at the museum…. but indeed worthwhile a visit! 

Morten's turning-40-weekend!!

What a wonderful weekend with family and friends we had in Bali!!
We are very pleased and grateful that people travelled from near and far to celebrate the bday boy, who had the best of bday's he could have asked for <3

THANK YOU to all that made the weekend a memory of a lifetime Xx

Kids favorite activity - horse back riding!!! 

After the party weekend, we stayed yet another few days in Bali with our family. Great way to wind down - and last holiday as a family of 4 :-) 

Xmas celebration 2015

After around 15 years abroad, we are used to celebrate Xmas outside Scandinavia, and have built up our own traditions. Santa always visits us on Dec 24th, different 'Santas' every year, and this year he had a British Accent :-)

Last two years, we have had a Danish style Xmas, with some Japanese and Swedish touch.

Most appreciated gift this year…. think Hannah takes the price with her very moderate alarm clock :-)

Happy Diwali

Diwali is approaching (Nov 10-11th) and both girls had celebration in school today. Performances, henna, rangoli, various yummy food stalls - very excited girls!

Diwali is an Hindu festival of light, and one of the largest and brightest celebrations in India. Can compare it with Xmas and Chinese New Year, in my humble opinion. 

Hannah 7 years old

Our wonderful, super cool, talkative, determined, giggly Hannah turns 7 years old (where did the time fly…) and she had a pool party to celebrate with her best buddies. Instead of gifts this year, she asked for donations for charity. She'll donate the money to  'Together for Charity', who works for less fortunate children in Asia.

Thanks to the generous friends of Hannah who jointly participated for the donation <3
