Adventure Golf

We played Adventure golf in the very same place as we played Football Golf the other day.
Had our lunch in the restaurant there and we head for the Adventure golf. It was not that easy as it looks. There are plenty of obstacle but somehow interesting.


To get the ball to go through the small hole in the miniture building.




Under the giant tea cup there are two hole and it's a bigger hole on the green while and the red is pretty small.


Start from where Gabriel is now and the hole ending up in the boat.



This is one of the many adventure which Gabriel found interesting as he have to shoot with the obsticle of a bridge and a small miniture river.




Gabriel and mummy had a small break after the golfing.

Wii Sports

Friday 29th May, Peter came back from Norway with Wii for Gabriel. He has been waiting for Wii for a long time now. In fact we never bought it, Jonas bought Wii and have been using it only once and it has been laying in his storage since then. So he let Gabriel have it as he knows that Gabriel will have much more fun with it.

I think it is good for Gabriel to play Wii instead of his playstation as he move his body alot. And he played the sports games where he really moves his body when he play tennis, baseball, boxing etc.

Sunday 31st May 2009, Mother's day.

My Children presented me a white lovely summary dress on mother's day first thing in the morning. I have it on me the very same day when we were out.

Actually the kids wanted to surprises their mother with breakfast on bed but I got up while they were just about to start their preparing. I was still unaware that it was mother's day as we never usually practise it. I was wondering why are all the 3 kids up early over the weekend and all bed are clean and finally they gave me a nice dress which I realised it was mother's day.

We had a light breakfast at home and get ready to go out for a nice picnic. Met up with Peter's parents in Djurgården. Later we played a game called kubb where the boys verses the girls team. The girls team won.

My Sandles

Vel bought herself a pair of sandles for the summer and unfortunately it was slightly to big for her and I decided to take over and give a little touch of adding my little accessories to it. It may take some times to fix the details but it'd done in few hrs.

Football Golf with the family.

We saw a sign of Football golf couple of weeks ago while we were out walking and have been longing to try the game. Since Peter last hurt his foot while playing football with Gabriel, we have no chance to play it until he gets better someday. For a long 4 weeks of limping, finally it was over and we decided to give it a try.
It was a nice beautiful sunny weekend and since everyone agreed to get involved and kick some ball together, we decided to start getting ready and get going.

Somehow we had a few funny incident where my shoe flew off together with the ball and little Gabriel coincidently took a snap of it. It happened again not long after but this time it was Elrener's turn . It was indeed hilarious.

I found that football golf is a nice game for the family of all ages. It can also be healthy and fun sports as we run, walk and kick.

My lastest design

Here are my lastest design on bracelets.

I am an immature designer (I couldn't call my self a designer at least not for now at all) for, this so called, "costume jewellery".
Beginning I used to buy custom made lock, per meter iron to design my accesories, somehow eventually, I started all by myself. Really interesting!!
I learnt the thickness of steanless steel iron needed to twist and create different looks and purposes.

Here are my few humble made design which is gonna be worn by me.



See the different colours and sizes of pearls, stones uses in this bracelet to creates the, "immortality of immature Designer", I just love it. "Wink"


Honestly, I start with this little one from stretch. Bought the meters after meters in a roll of iron (which is much cheaper), then I cut it, twisted it and pressed it. Somehow it ended up with this.
Surprisingly, Peter says, he love this among all!!!!

Poor him..... for he have to be caught in between "women thing" and make a fast decision.
Somehow he did honestly told me; the first thing when I showed him. This is nice and this was the best that I have designed and created all along" and the respond was, "wow..... this was the best I have seen".



Focus on the lock of the bracelet ok and not on that old crumpling hand. hahahaha!!!!


This was made from my recycled neckless pearls before. Tired of it... and somehow it's a refresh whole new look now.

The Long Weekend

One of the most popular festival celebration here in Sweden is on 31st April. The main aim on this very special day is to light a bonfires and singing songs of springs. They collected greenery and branches from the wood to start the fire. Somehow I learnt that people said the celebration of Valborg is to celebrate that the Winter's over and summer is just around the corner.I am sure to understand the Nordic cold country who have been living long in the cold dark winter and seeing the sun and light of the day getting longer for each and every day would lighted up the life for each and individual spirits.

Somehow the depth of Valborg is more than that, which I know after and we can find out by just googling "Valborg" and most of the information will be there. That's the beauty of internet. We can find out almost about anything and everything.





Gabriel had never seen Valborg festival celebrated here before. We left Sweden when he was only a year and a half. Now that he is 5, we would like him to see the traditional festive of Valborg celebrated here.

We went to Skansen where the fire is put up. It's kind of big celebration here in Skansen where there are singers who sang when the fire is up and thousands of people gathered around the fire.

I must say that it was still very cold being up there in Skansen. The evening end and we went home.

The next following day, we went to Gröna Lund the amusement park here in Stockholm. I once met a guy name Istvan who came from Hungary. He designed all sorts of amusement park and water theme park in the world. I heard lots of amazing tales stories from his side. He once told me that with his world wide experience and knowledge, the truth is amazingly unbelievable, all amusement park which operates for only 6 months a years has double the profit for those who operated the whole year round.
Seeing the number of people walking into Gröna Lund that day and spending money in every games and rides, I am very certain it is true.

Sadly to say, I somehow did not bring my big camera along with me that day as I am tired of carrying around my big camera bag.
The most important thing is that the kids had fun.

The following day after Gröna Lund which is on Saturday, we went for another picnic around Nacka. I love going for a simple picnic here while in Sweden as there are plenty of beautiful greenery places for families and water is everywhere if we would like to be close to one.
Another thing is, I love BBQ and so does the kids and Peter. So we decided to buy some chicken wings and different types of hot dog, which is very typical swedish who loves their hot dog during BBQ. We bought the "en gång grill" (one time grill) in a supermarket which cost only 29 sek. It works perfectly well. Our chicken smells so nice during the period of grilling and it turns out juicy and nice and so is the thick big fat hot dog.



This is Peter starting the "en gång grill" away from the strong wind. Looks cute and tiny that small one time grill but it works well, right honey?

Actually now that I remembered, few years ago, we once used this "one time grill" in the woods somewhere during the winter. We grilled the usual hotdog. It was meant to be simple, fast and good. We had a good friends from Autralia, Monica and James visiting us and it was the usual winter with white thick snow. We drove on the lake that day when it was icy thick, we grilled when we got hungry and we also does the cross crountry skies on the lake. It was a nice memories to always be remembered.

Anyway as you can see Elrener our eldest daughter is not with us. She hardly comes along with us on such family activities. She is 18 and soon turning 19. She always had her own plan. Over the past 2 days, she slept over at her friend house where they organised their own beach, picnic and BBQ. She's a good decent girl and I never have to have the control freak for her freedom, trust and responsibility.

OK then we are back again to our picnic in Nacka. We played different types of games. We bought that big ball which Gabriel got it from Gröna Lund the day before. It was not that he won that big hugh ball but somehow a young guy came to him while we are having our lunch and just gave him the ball. You should see in his eyes, how excited he get. He was longing to win something big and out of the blue someone just came by pass him while he was sitting down waiting for his korv med bröd and there is a nice young chap who appeared out of a suddened and gave him that big ball. I am sure Gabriel is using the, "Law of Attraction" without realising it. Well, somehow it works and he got it in the end.

We also played different types of card games and a Boule game. It was a nice day until just an hr before we left, the football kicking games crashed Peter's leg. He felt a big bam and he is off with so much pain.

Though he was crippling today and very cautious of his steps, he also applied plenty of Voltaren. The kind of drug used to relieved the pain.

I have to wrote this down and be remembered. When the crashed bammed on his leg came shortly after, he tried to walk around with crumping and hopping with one leg. He left to toilet shortly after, and came back with a hugh long stick from the tree branch. I was bad...., I laugh and laugh like no body business. He looks like Evan Almighty. Hahahahaha That was a good laugh for the day. Sorry honey, for I laugh like mad but it was just funny seeing you walking with the long thick white stick that you picked up somewhere to support you. While writting this down, I can still sense the tingling laugh inside me imagining you again with that long stick.

Pitied that I was so caught up with the action of the situation, I should have a snap of your photo with that stick which I don't. Probably you felt relieved and lucky that I don't.

Still with that crippy and distorted foot, we manage to go and buy our usual weekly food shopping in ICA mega mart right away where you tried to catch up with us slowly. Then the night came, we went out with your brother to have a dinner and pubbing in a full crowded place where you manage to limp your way around. I am so proud of your strength and braveness with pain which I don't have the slightest close for bearable to such pain like you.
