Fish or Fishes ?

yes, is it Fish or Fishes ? 
argumentative said the word 'fish' is both singular and plural. 
Another put it this way: 
same type = fish
different species = fishes
but to be absolutely correct = fish
Now I need my English teacher back!

i rise with the sun - Good Morning Little Miss Sunshine! after a long haul of wet Spring, Summer is finally back! 

Short and sweet i tell you about my feet. I am a Melanau, a native of Sarawak inhabitant. This is our traditional hat called Terindak, made with Nipah (palm) leaves stitched together and strengthened with colorful bamboo strips. The hat is served as a protection against the hot sun. We have 2 pieces of Terindak given by my aunt and they are served as a perma-deco in our home in Germany. Love 'em!

happy Pausing

Greetings Everyone!!  i am pausing from Blogging.

slowing down on blogging

Dear Peepers, 

I was once a happy Blogger for having a full-time bum at home. Now, I have to down because I have to and I hate so. I love to blog but the majority of my time now is sucked up to attend German language class and photography shooting. I couldn't even realize how fast time past going to class from Monday to Friday 5 hours a day and 7 hours in total outside my computer life. Every afternoon I came home is a must to finish my school work and the next thing I know, here comes the weekend - time for house chores, groceries shopping and quite often so reluctant to meet up with friends or to have guests around our apartment :( Here are my list why I have decided to slow down blogging: 

• of course, it is not because I am getting older, oh you...
  
• blogging is simply hard, spree-spending time is really easy to pour down the drain, but to use Time productively is a lot harder. Is blogging hard work? I think it is. I could spend the whole day blogging and sharing my personal photos for my readers
  
• blogging needs creativity to drive my readers in, not only from a circle of friends but also from other fingers-google with similar interest
  
• expecting feedback? you bet! I like to know what my readers think of my post
  
• useless to blog? sometimes my brain tells me it is useless to blog but my heart tells me to go on and write what I feel. Now I dunno who to follow
  
• despite all kinds of feeling and thinking and plotting to continue blogging or not, I intentionally wanna leave behind some of my footprint on my personal blog. It would be great to read my blog again in 10 years time - who knows!
  
• last but not least, we'll catch each other up somewhere, somehow around here
  

WAIT! I am not completely giving up blogging - anything can happen in the future, I might come back :-) xoxoxo

summer in Miri to autumn in Germany

August in Miri: i love walking on the beach, smell the fresh sea salt air, hear the sound of the waves and what not, how the warm tropical sea breeze treats you. the best of it is, when you get your feet dipped in the sand and the gentle waves stroked over them... oh thatsso wunderbar!


now i am back in Germany in the month of September, the harmonized of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how standstill, are as crisp as autumn air = i'm loving it!

from Cygnets to Mute Swans

they were hatched in May 2009

you could hear mom's hissing to protect her newly hatched cygnets


yesterday at the park: the fast grown up cygnets are 4 months old


there is no such thing as "ugly" cygnet - they are birds of a feather flock together


shy fellow


Papa is watching = from a distance!

Autumn 2009 shot#1

Musim Luruh in Malay, Autumn in Europe and Fall in America: i went to my former hometown at Lake Trappensee in Heilbronn yesterday. my little paradise has already created a very beautiful changing colors in leaves, hence some snapshots to bring home with me.


this is my little paradise and all my three little cygnets are fully grown up - at the foreground is their mama.


going autumn


cosy path walk, these trees will soon be bald
