Neuschwanstein Castle

These few days, I worry more. Nights are filled with
anxiety, tense, and I could’t sleep very well, eventhough the 3 boys didn’t make such fuss in the middle of the night. I make it a point to sleep or at least prepare to sleep by 9pm. At least the kids got into new PJs/diapers by 9pm, finished eating and the humble-mattresses laid down by then. Ibu will be very, very stern should the 2 boys (Umar and Hafiz) are still fighting each other, giggling noisily, throwing pillows at each other, which usually ends up with one of them crying and hurting the other, this time out of revenge.

The other night, I tried to put Umar and Hafiz to sleep at 10pm, they refused and kept playing ( read: switching TV on and off, knocking the table glass with spoon, running up and down the stairs, face down on the mattress and giggle out loud cause they think it’s funny, continued running, and the list goes on..). By the time they were too tired playing, and I was too tired to even open my eyes, Lutfil woken up, and he cried
non-stop, sobbing as if he’d just been shouted at. It didn’t help that he cried and his eyes are closed. Mengigau kena marah ke apa tah..
It took almost 2 hours to make him calm down, and I was just so grateful that Umar and Hafiz didn’t wake up at that particular moments. If not, I would have cried myself, heheh

Oh yes, all this buzz about the new 7 wonders of the world, excite me a bit. Nice to know that some of the architectures happen to be of Islamic
Civilization/remains, perticularly the Timbuktu in Mali, where one of the first university of humankind was establish. Also, the Hagia Sophia, Turkey. Well, it was erected during byzantine empire, became a mosque during Ottoman, and now serving as museum for both Christian and Muslims.
For fantasy reason, I’d vote for the Neuschwanstein Castle, Schwangau, germany, built by the mad king Ludwig. Oh, and how about the The Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow that looks like a fantasy castle as well, and it used to be the resident for the Czars, until the Russian Revolution.
It’s a poor thing that the Hanging Garden of Babylon in Irag was destroyed some years ago. If not, it could have been still selected as one of the 7 wonders of the world. Vote here!
