Saving up for our "Swimming with the Dolphins" tour on Island before we leave. Saving change...should be interesting how much we got when this is full!
Thats me in the corner, dismantling a HTH bathroom cabinet + sink. It looks ALMOST unused, but buying it used will save me at least 12000,- NOK. Hurray!
(oh, and I need to lose some weight :p)
Saw an ad in the paper where a woman was selling this perfecty fine bathroom interior for 1500 NOK, or about $200 USD. I had already started to strip down what will become our new bathroom, but we hadn't quite gotten to the point where we could start building, so the timing wasn't perfect, but good enough.
I got everyhing in this picture for 200, plus the shower taps (which on its own costs more than $200 dollars, so I am VERY pleased with this purchase.
It took a while to unscrew from the wall, and the sink/top was heavy as a dead horse to carry, but it was very worth it.
I asked the woman why she was removing it, it was in near mint condition. Well she had paid 3 million NOK for the appartment, and just wanted to redecorate! If I had that kind of money, I would have left the pathroom as it is, rented out the appartment, and gone on holiday for a year!
To me, that is just wild, and an environmental disaster.
I went to Langkawi (Malaysia) last August with my friend coz I saw Malaysian Airline had ticket promotion. I think I can understand (yes I understand my self) how happy I was coz after few years I left Malaysia after my work assignment with Total Fina Elf has finished (I was working as architect to make platform – see my old photos set if you don’t understand what platform is. Here easy link to click
- there) I was able to go to Malaysia again.
This time, instead of staying in Johor Bahru (I worked in Johor Bahru) we (my friend and I) stayed in Kuala Lumpur at our friend’s house. Yes, I’m really thankful by the hospitality I had during my stay there. Well, I think so far I’m lucky…have wonderful friends around me.
My friend ever told me, “madam (mostly of my friends from cultural Francais course call me madam de gateau coz I like to make cakes), like what Paulo Coelho said, you makes saving cultivation to the people. That’s how we as human being lives”. It’s takes me sometime to think what my friend mean by saving cultivation…then I know, you got what you plant. Or let say…you harvest what you plant. Be good to people, respect them and loves them and they will do you a favors without you ask one day. Even dog never bites the hand of the person who feed them, so if we bite someone who feed us…mean we are less than dog.
What I learn from this life it’s easy to find enemy, but not easy to makes friends. Maybe someone simply come to you and tell you that she/he is your friend but actually not. I’ve traveling to so many places, met so many kind of people some of story I’ve to struggle to life in the new place, I’ve to makes new friends I have to know how to mingle with the people, I have to know when I can be close with them and I also have to know when I better stay away from them. This life teach me a lot, but I’m still willing to learn. One thing I have to scrap away from my mind, jealousy. Coz jealousy will just makes my mind blind and makes my head think irrational by what happen around.
Note: if you afraid of high, better not going to this place. Well...same like life it self, the high your position is the harder wind blow... :-)

A chorus of opinion from “eminent men” on the subject of daylight saving was in the spotlight on this day 24 October 1912.
When the S S Ruepehu set sail to New Zealand it was carrying 12 pamphlets on the English Daylight Saving Bill from the London High Commission. One of the intended recipients was MP T K Sidey who was introducing a similar bill into the New Zealand Parliament. The pamphlet, which set out the case for daylight saving, includes comments from everyone from the King of England to a Piccadilly shopkeeper. “Sunshine destroys germs and raises the vitality,” declared the Earl of Meath who was also chairman of the London Metropolitan Gardens. A London businessman had this to say of one of his book keepers, “a capable fellow” who had been “wasting away” with an undiagnosed illness: “Poor fellow his life has been lived without sunshine. We buried him five months later in the Highlands of Scotland!”
Despite this call to action New Zealand’s reaction to the pamphlet was muted. Daylight saving was not introduced here until 1927.

Whenever I come across an earthworm in the wrong place, I usually touch it to see if it's alive. This one was, so I found a little stick and placed it into a shady batch of soil. After a few moments, it started to head back into the soil.
I saved a life! Alas, but the bird must go hungry for a bit longer.

Every week when I get groceries I buy a package of diapers. Then when I am on maternity leave we should have PLENTY!
Walking tonight to the lighthouse, luckily came across these poor Guillemots. Both hooked to the same piece of fishing line - the adult had a hook in its breast and the younger one had two hooks imbedded in it - one in its breast and the other in its wing. More unfortunately the line had also become wrapped around its right wing, cutting into it, by several cms. Approaching cautiously, making comforting sounds, we managed to catch them both- I like to think they knew we were going to help them - they didn’t try to peck us. My husband managed to remove the hook gently from the adult bird and we let it go but it stayed with us while I held the younger bird and my husband worked on removing the fish hooks. This was more difficult as the line was tangled around its wing and the poor little thing was struggling. After some minutes thankfully the hooks and line were removed. After a while we place the birds in the water - the adult swam away quickly. The younger bird was caught on the waves - it bobbed about preening itself and flapping its wings. I rang the Scottish SPCA- they advised us to leave the seabird there - apparently they are very anxious birds - they said they would visit the beach in the morning. Apparently they had had several calls about guillemots in trouble in the area. They were at three dead on the beach. It was almost dark as we left - the little guillemot still bobbing about not far from the beach. Apparently they spend most of their life at sea. I hope this story has a happy ending. And thank goodness the fish hooks were almost barbless.

CSX ES40DC 5356 heads south past the Eugene Depot toward the Cascades to "Save a train" up on the hill. Assume a power failure of some kind needed a little more shoving to make it over the summit.
Theseus was popular in the Roman world, but there was more emphasis on his role in saving the young Athenians and as the slayer of the Minotaur than the other deeds as you can see if you compare this painting from Pompeii to one of the cups with the Deeds of Theseus. A number of Roman paintings and mosaics have been found which depict the episode with the Minotaur. In this painting Theseus has emerged from the Labyrinth which is suggested by the dark area beyond the doorway. The monster lies on the ground and two children cling to him in gratitude as a group of figures to the left look on in awe. The melodramatic aspect of the story is foremost and the adulation of the crowd, rather than the fearful monster, seems to be the most important aspect. In the Greek archaic period, monsters such as Medusa and the Minotaur were the focus of artists and patrons but in later periods other aspects of these hero stories seemed to be of more interest as this painting suggests.
