A night of bad decisions
Lamia had bought Formula 1 walkabout tickets for us a while ago. Not that we are big F1 fans. Or F1 fans to begin with. But living in the very city where the Formula 1 night race takes place and never...

At the races
While we went to the Formula 1 qualifying on Saturday, Sunday was of course the big racing day, the real thing. Now, Saturday did not play out so well for me, so Lamia carefully tested the waters:...

“Give that lady something to dress, dude!”
So after Robbie Williams on Saturday whom we missed due to the, erg, high humidity, the concert of Sunday night was with Jennifer Lopez. Now, I will cut this short: it was not terrible, but this was...

Short night… like in “a damn fricking 2 hour night – aaaaaargh!”
We were back home way after midnight and went to bed around 1 am. And then Oskar woke up at around 2:20 am, keeping us busy and awake till nearly 4 am (it was of course Lamia who managed to take the...

Walking to the light…
Looks like I rescued my Canon 6D: 2 days in the dry cabinet and full functionality is back! My EF 70-300 L lens is still broken, though. :( — Leo (@kritzeltweets) September 23, 2014 Yep, it’s true....

Ms Lamia’s feeling for cake
It’s about 10 pm on Saturday night. Tomorrow we’ll host Oskar’s birthday party and we expect 30 to 40 people. I’ve done my share: I’ve arranged a function room and then I went out of Lamia’s way in the...

Japanese Lego
Yes, Lamia did bring me a Nanoblock Tyrannosaurus Rex from Japan. And yes, a man needs to focus when he does the assembly. The first time I build a Nanoblock animal was Christmas last year, when Nagi...

Oskar’s first birthday party
Lamia had made a cake, or two. I got balloons and ice cubes to cool the drinks. Lamia: Get me the function room an hour early! And I got the function room 1 1/2 hours early. Don’t want to say anything,...

The next round is on Oskar!
Leo: You gotta help me! Lamia has made so much cake – it’s madness. MADNESS! You gotta eat all of this now! Or do you want me to just explode from stuffing my face with cake?! Looks like most of...

Flat Stanley
Franziska’s class is reading a book called “Flat Stanley”. It’s about that boy whose bulletin board falls on him one night and totally flattens him. And while this can be inconvenient at times, it’s...

The future of entertainment in the air
This morning we packed the boy, Tess and a handful of bags and made off to the airport. Or to Yogyakarta in Indonesia, to be more exact. Believe it or not, we’re going to stay here till Tuesday next...

Borobodur
One of the must see places close to Yogyakarta is Borobodur, a 1000+ year old Buddhist temple, built a little bit like a pyramid with several levels that represent stages in… ah, I forgot. Something...

Flat Stanley in Borobodur
I had mentioned that Flat Stanley arrived just before we left to Indonesia. In the letter that came with him Franziska asked me to show him nice sights and take a photo of him, maybe with a little...

Not a turd!
Okay, I did not realize when posting this photo in the Borobodur entry that the little souvenir Lamia holds up looks suspiciously like a turd. So: no, it’s not a turd and as explained in the post it’s...

A lot of chicken
While we had gotten up real early yesterday morning to go to Borobodur, today we took things a little easier: we had booked a horse cart ride in the countryside for the whole family. After a nice...

Prambanan
Besides Borobudur, Prambanan is the other temple that is a must see in Yogyakarta. I am not sure whether there are sunrise tours available, too, but we decided to make it a little family trip again:...

Flat Stanley has a lot to tell…
Later today when we were back in Singapore I got cracking on Flat Stanley’s travel report for Franziska’s class exercise. To remind you: Most students certainly picked family or friends in the US and...
