While I was in town the other day, it occurred to me that I seldom paid any attention to this park while I was still staying in that town a few years back. It is a very lovely park indeed, with plenty of leafy trees, fountains and a very outstanding water tower right in the middle. I decided on an impulse to take a stroll at the park because the day was beautiful enough to indulge myself. To my delight, I came upon a few couples having their wedding photo shoot at the park. No doubt taking advantage of the lovely autumn setting. It was so romantic and I couldn’t help but wonder in which season I’d choose my wedding to take place? Spring sounds nice when everything awakens after a long winter sleep. But it might still be a tad cold as the winter chill in Germany more often than not tends to extend its stay longer than desired. Summer might be perfect but then it might be too hot for that wedding dress. However that’s when all my girl friends got married in Malaysia and they didn’t seem to mind the scorching tropical heat after all on their big day.Autumn looks beautiful enough. But autumn in Germany can be very unpredictable. It’s really your lucky day here when the sun shines in autumn.

That guy (hiding behind the tree) in the picture above was so funny. He was shaking the tree like every 5 secs to induce some falling leaves effect to complement the autumn-y feel.

Autumn sounds nice eh .

It is so rare these days to catch a glimpse of sun ray here in Germany. Yesterday was a perfect golden autumn day. It would be very much a pity to hide inside the house while the sun was so invitingly and generously spreading its golden fingers. Me on my autumn outfit, ready to hit the streets to fill up my long depleted tank of sunshine!

I know how my day will start when on my way to work, I was forced to wait for an hour at a road block on the highway due to an accident that occurred minutes earlier before we arrived. I groaned inwardly while watching the policemen blocked off the road ahead of me, so that no cars were allowed to pass to allow room for tow cars and ambulance.

We couldn’t move forward nor could we reverse our car as the jam started to build up slowly behind us, we were left with no choice but to wait for the accident scene before us to be cleared up.

I was silently cursing myself for not stepping out of the house a few minutes earlier and I couldn’t stop complaining out loud to which T just replied that I should be thankful that it wasn’t us who were being pulled out of that overturned, wrecked car in front of us.

How true. I should be thanking my lucky star that somehow, by a strange strike of fate that I didn’t wake up earlier than usual this morning. Who knows what will happen if we really arrived at the scene at the same time the accident occurred…

Sometimes when I am so caught up with so many things in my mind that I somehow fail to realize how lucky I actually am. It’s good to have someone pulling me back to the ground once in awhile.

When asked her opinion on punctuality, an applicant for an office job assured the interviewer she thought it was extremely important. “I use periods, commas, and question marks all the time”, she said.
