it snowed!

snow, snowed, snowing. scnei in german.

ok lots of photos coming now. a lot of random ones as well.
it is 10p.m. now...i guess night time will be the time i come online here since there is nothing to do at night and i am not really a tv addict.
having yoghurt now...dinner time. imagine that and then bed soon. breakfast at 11a.m. lunch at 4p.m. so the only solid meals i am going to have are breakfast and lunch. will keep it to the minimum for dinner. scared of putting on weight ah. it is really like hibernation here. weather is really cold. -1 to 1C. will try to do some running tomorrow at the place where we walk the dog. this dog is not trained, hence it cannot be walk on the streets like the others on leashes. how sad. it will run at cars and at ppl and it is very hard to pull it then. the dog is even heavier than me ah.
3 pics here show yesterday and today. yesterday we walked the dog in howling winds ...brrrr...and today we walked the dog in snow. also brrrrr.....my face was all numb and i had to run on the spot to make myself warm.
this is the hill where we walk the dog. about 5 minutes drive from the house. many ppl also walk their dogs here and aunt will usually avoid their path. below is a picture of bad ems from the hill. bad ems is a spa town which was frequented by kings, kaisers and tsars. there are many theraphy clinics and hospitals here and u will see lots of old ppl in town, doing their recuperation.
the dog needs the box to get into the car and then he is cleaned.
2 cars at home. ems means where the car is from. volvo is to bring the dog. benz is the ride.
the living room from different angles. the dog can sleep everywhere and i have vacuumed a spot on the sofa which i will sit. i have put a box there now. haha...to book my place and the dog will not jump on it. hair hair everywhere!
pss...have u heard how some pets resemble their owners? from some angles, the dog resembles my uncle. haha...
how can one come to germany and not eat sausage aka wurst? aunt discovered this one and it is really not bad. just slice it and pop it into ur mouth. the meat is very 'sringy', not soft or soggy.
we shopped at lidl, that building in the picture. was an abandoned building when i came in 2000 i think. ok, i was saying that i would control my diet right? man, there are so many things which are new that u can discover along the aisle in the supermarket. i can't afford to do that...i will start slowly and ungreedily. so only got this chocolate with cream filling and that pack of winter snack (vanilla, cinnamon and honey flavour). have always loved choc from kinder.
my 2 pieces of comme des garcons for H&M collection. ö
to today's itenary now. we went to koblenz, a bigger city about 25 mins away. but first aunt did a favour for a friend, she went to check on her apartment since she was away in the states. so this i think is a typical apartment. one lot is quite spacious and big for a small family. comes with 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room. and they also have a small storage room.
and since today is saturday, the main shopping mall in koblenz called löhr centre gives free parking after 4p.m. so we parked there and walked the shops nearby and the main shopping street called löhr strasse. the lohr centre is not really that big like what we have in malaysia, but it is sufficient for this town. more interesting shops are along lohr strasse. they even have one selling all paul frank and ed hardy stuff. interesting. nope, i din get anything. no plan to do any shopping. no money and space to lug them back...unless some good good bargain. maybe a pair of seven of mankind jeans (?) if they have it on sale...or a bag. ahhahah.
the 2 pics on the side above are taken while on the way to koblenz. those houses on the slopes are really a beauty to look at.
tis is what we had for lunch. grilled fish. aunt's favourite from nordsea. it was not bad, fresh. about 7+ euro one set.

ok. time to rest now. it is 11p.m. yeah...manage to survive till this late today... should be able to sleep gua tonight. fingers are freezing now. yawn. what to do tomorrow on a sunday when all shops are closed?
