Kaleidoscope 2011

Kaleidoscope 2011
We really had a great up and down life in this entire years. Our life is a bit like a wheel and now we're really in the bottom of the life.

It happened when suddenly my mom had her retiring days starting on March. Then, the days were very difficult. We that usually depended on her then suddenly she retired and it's really like a bit in hell especially in finance. We had to survive passing days by days.

Thankfully, my brother finally graduated from his college this year. One of my mom's job finished. Then, it's time for my bro to pay all his debt to family, I hope so.

As the days were getting crazy every single days, Ali and I decided to move on our life. We're going to have our own life, just 3 of us, Ali-Fritz and me, by moving to our Apartment on 11 September.

After that decision, it's quite shocked for my mom and dad as they thought we're gonna stay with them forever, we met my friend again in an ocassion. He helped us with his talent about fengshui and life. His thought was really influenced us in thinking and act. Thank for him.

Ali's career was also improving in the last year. He refused to join with his friend and got another great job by coincidence. Thankfully we met these kind and humble ladies who eager to help us. Our finance is going improving by the end of the year.

I've also got 2 great jobs that I just work from home.

One by one our problems were handled though we still can't stay full week in our apartment as I still have tutorial classes. So we're still stay for few days in my parents' home. At least, we're bravely to get out from the dark hole surrounding us for few years.

Hopefully, next year are gonna be a brighter year for us. Some life experiences really made us learning lots. It's changing my thinking in life. That we should do are trying our best, praying to Him, thanking for what He gives and surrender to Him.....

Small and Nothing...

Small and Nothing...
I just realize that I'm so small and nothing in this world. I don't do many things for my life and others. I just fulled my mind with my obsess and forgot to do something for others or someone.

Suddenly, in the near of the year end, I've got some enlightenment.

First, someone offered me an online job that I have to collect some articles related with school.

Then, my heart is moved when I saw some people from my college had social activity for others. And that moment, I really wanna be there to involve with them. Hopefully, I could do some social activity next year after I'd a nice chat with one of this big heart woman called Baby.

And the last one, I was totally amazed with one of my online friends. There's few people were busy making scrapbook. I wanna be one of them if I could. I really need to collect some information how to join with them in making scrapbook.

God.....lead me Your way......to be someone who has lots things to do for others.....

Nursery : Nativity

Nursery : Nativity
Fritz is currently 32 months 4 weeks

This week, we still had a thematic week as it's a week before X'mas. We chose Nativity for this week. Fritz was enjoying his week by exploring all about Jesus. He admired the baby J itself.

Nativity
Day 1
We started the week by tracing the letter of Nativity theme. And Fritz successfully made it. He could trace the letter one by one by himself. Great!!

Then, we continued tracing the lines. Again, he could make it nicely though some were out of the trace lines....^^

Next, counting the objects and trace the numbers. He found a little difficulty in tracing the number 4. He still needs more on practice in tracing this numbers. Moreover, he could match the objects to the right numbers though he slipped on the number 2 and 3. ^^




He still wanted to learn and I gave him the odd one out activities. And he finished it quite some time as he made it in silly. Overall, he could do it very nice and very understand the concept.

The last one was guessing which object came out then. He still didn't get the concept but he could match the picture by seeing the objects in the row. So he could easily match with the objects he had to paste.

Day 2
He mostly knows the objects and very eager to learn about it. He loves the baby especially. He called it "baby J"...cool name he made!! ^^

Next, he asked to do this activity. He wanted to match the shadow with its objects. He made it nice, didn't he??

I printed out the mini book for him which mentioned some animals living in the manger with the baby J inside.


The last one for that day was making this activity. He sorted the objects based on the people and animals. He made it successfully though he preferred to paste all the people first then the animals next. ^^

Day 3
In the 3rd day, he chose to do the puzzle first. He took quite some time as usual he made it in silly. He actually knows the rules that he had to paste in sequence numbers from 1 to 10. However, he tried to silly me by putting the 7 after 5 and 6 after 7...and some numbers...though finally he made it nice.

Arranging the baby J from big to small. He loved this pictures so much....

I had another sorting activity again for him. Still he's eager making it. He made it the people first and did the rest on animals sides. That's him....

Day 4
For the 4th day, he made the counting objects and put the peg on its correct number. He made it very nice. He's getting familiar with the numbers and counting the objects.


Craft


As he's very into with the baby J, I asked him to make the manger with the baby J inside. He loves it so much. He even couldn't wait to make it when I was busy doing the preparation. He asked me again and again to do it. Impatient boy!! ^^

Book
I bought him a book about Christmas. It's an activity book actually that he had to paste some stickers based on the story about. The story had written in English and Bahasa. It's about the born of Jesus that he had to stay in a manger.

He asked me again and again to finish all the stickers. Then, he asked me to read it again and again every night as he's very into with the baby J.


It's the project. He had to paste the puppet stickers on the background provided. Of course, he's eager doing it. Great job, boy!

Gross

Now, he's able to jump high (though not high enough ^^). For me, it's a really big improvement for him as he's a little bit late one than his friends.

I put some number foam mat under our bed to avoid him fall down twice. Then, suddenly, he asked me to mention a number and then he jumped to that number. He was so thrilled with it.....

Miscellaneous


He's very diligent to feed up his Lion.Every time he sees some coins, he straightly goes to it and put the coins inside. We really have to be careful to put the coins around. ^^



Fritz is really a helpful boy or we can call him a busy body person or a boy who has huge eagerness in doing something. ^^

Oma wanted to bake a cake that day and Fritz, of course, tried to help her mixing the dough.


We celebrated Mother's Day every 22nd December in Indonesia. During that day, Oma had served onde-onde. This was the first time Fritz tried onde-onde and he liked it.


That day, before I went to the nearest saloon, Fritz asked me to cut his hair. He wanted a new hair style. So, Oma helped to cut his hair. He sat down nicely and was busy to look around his hair. After Oma's done, he asked to see his new hair by looking at the mirror. Whatta boy!!!

Fun


We're having fun at the mall and something happened at that mall.

more stories here...

Fritz was having his first ice blended coffee at The Coffee Bean

Christmas 2011

Christmas 2011
This year, we spent our time to attend 2 mass, Eve mass and children mass. We attended the Eve mass at Atmajaya University and the children mass at St.Matias Rasul near my parents neighborhood.

We preferred to go to Atma as it's been a long time not seeing our friends. This was the best moments. However, we had a little disappointed. Many person we'd expected to come didn't come that day. So, we'd just quite happy to see some of them and enjoyed the mass.

We sat with Viji, our best friend and Ernie-Steven and Chloe, their child. The weather was so hot. We supposed to be sit with Vidor-Tia and Lona, but they came late. So we just met them for a while and also with Ernie's. They went away before the mass was over. It's late for dinner. Few minutes after that, we ran away too...^^

We had our dinner at Pizza Hut Plaza Semanggi with Viji. We talked lots and it's quite fun to have friend like him.

In the next day, we went to the nearest church, St.Matias Rasul. We had prepared the present to be put under the manger. We went by motor. We didn't join the mass but we just stayed outside. Fritz met Nic and Keira (Nanto's girl) at Mary's cave behind the church.

When the mass was over and we'd put the present, we joined with other children in the indoor hall. They'd prepared a Christmas program for the children. I asked Fritz to join with them. Fritz wasn't enjoying much so we decided to go home.



Then, we continued our day by visiting Fritz great grams in Kemayoran. His great grams was sick at that moment. She couldn't join with us. She preferred to stay at her room and slept.

There's nothing special except gathering with relatives. We had our lunch then we had a simple chit chat with others. Really have a great time....

Happy Birthday, Jesus.....may Your spirit always be with us.......

Christmas thought

Christmas thought

Merry Xmas everyone...

Christmas isn't all about how beautiful the tree you decorate in your house, how expensive dress you bought, how great is your party, how many gifts you have or even how far you go for your holiday.

Christmas is about how you remember Him as your truly Savior. He born to the world for us. How do u appreciate Him in your life...

This Christmas was very special for me. I learnt lots of things. I try to accept the reality of life. I become stronger than yesterday.He really opened my heart and eyes. There's nothing everlasting in this world. He really shaped me into what He wants.

Sometimes I'm thinking hard about my life. And even I could cry if I remembered my past days. So many sins I made and how bad I was before with my bad temper, attitude, thought and words.

Thanks to Him who gave me lots of problems in my life. I really learn lots. I understand now why He gave me so many problems. It really makes me grown up in thinking.

What I have in this world is a bonus from Him and I'm really thankful for what He gave. That I have to do in this life only surrender and thankful to Him. Just let the life flow like a river. If we have so many plans , pray to Him and let Him do the rest. Don't too much complain to Him as He always answer our prayer.

"Thanks for giving me lots of problems, God. You make me stronger than before."

Accident in X'mas noon

Accident in X'mas noon

Before we went to the Christmas Eve Mass at Atmajaya Univ, Ali asked us to go to Taman Anggrek Mall. Mostly malls in Jakarta tried to decorate their hall with their best Christmas decorations, including Taman Anggrek. As we know, TA always has a gorgeous decoration every year. So we decided to go there this year.

We're a little disappointed as the decoration wasn't we're expected. It's not looking as nice as last year. So, we just took few photos then we continued to kill the time by ordering coffee at The Coffee Bean.

It's the first time for Fritz he could enjoy the ice coffee lot. Hopefully it could make him awake on the mass later...hahahhahaa.....

After the coffee was done, Fritz couldn't stay longer on his table. So, I asked Fritz to go to the Kidz Station while Ali said he wanted to stay there. We just took several minutes at Kidz Station and we continued to Timezone.

While we're in Timezone, suddenly there's an announcement that said we hadn't needed to worry and panic as the fire has been off. What??????

Gosh....we went out from Timezone after that. We tried to go to higher level to buy food at the restaurant that we'd bought the voucher before. We needed to buy food before the mass.

The smoke was everywhere even to the aisle. Some people were in hurry to go to their car and the stores were closed suddenly. It's really scary as I've never been in that kinda situation.

So, I decided to go back to our car and let Ali to go up to check the resto. He's back with the bad news, the resto was closed.

There's a heavy traffic jam on the parking lots. Many cars were deciding to go out from that building though the fire was put off already.

When I saw the pic in the Google, the fire was so high. If the firemen were late few minutes, I think we're getting die soon. Gosh!!!


I'm so thankful to Him......

Nursery : Christmas

Nursery : Christmas
Fritz is currently 32 months 3 weeks

Christmas is coming to our lesson this week. Fritz was so excited facing it. He loves the snowman and the X'mas tree so much.....^^

Christmas
Day 1
We started the week by tracing the maze. He's quite able to make it but the maze looked so confusing for him. So, he's not making it very nice. ^^

Then he chose tracing the lines. He'd just made for one paper only then he refused to continue the rest.


In the afternoon after we went home from mall, he asked me to study again. And he chose to match the shadow. He made it correctly and nice.

Still in the afternoon, we continued by making Mr Snowman. He was soooo excited!!

And the last one, he made the number puzzle. His energy was getting off and he's showing a little refusal though he could finally finish all the puzzle by himself.

Day 2
In the second day, he started to make the patterns activity. He's not really eager making it but he tried to complete the task.

However, he's showing his enthusiasm in sequencing the snowman. He made it from small to big and refused to make it from big to small.

Next, he continued his tracing activity. He'd finally made it completely, all the 4 worksheets in a row.

Then, he'd to find the different object but he just made one paper only. That's fine...maybe he'd continue the next day. ^^

Day 3
He sorted between Santa with his helpers and Kids. So far, he could understand the concept and how to sort it. Great!

As we know, he didn't really into at coloring the objects. He'd successfully made 4 trees only. ^^

The rest of different objects activities finally had been made in the 3rd day. He succeeded completely 3 worksheet.

He loves this kind of activity. He loves to peg the cards as well as he counted the objects.

Gross Motor


Fritz is really a helpful boy though sometimes be a busy body person who always insists to help us...^^

That day, he insisted to help Oma who wanted to watering her plants. Fritz saw that Oma was getting to water it, he came out. So, he's watering the plants twice in the morning as well as in the afternoon.....gosh!!

Learning Toys


He's getting great in recognizing the letter. He learns lots from his fave channel, Disney Junior, especially Word World.

He knows mostly the letter now though some times he can't easily remember what letter he held ^^

Miscellaneous


He's so excited decorating the X'mas tree for few minutes. He asked to put the decoration by himself. Then, he's busy with Santa and bells decoration and left me alone decorating the tree....-__-"

When it's done, he really couldn't hide his excitement. He asked me to light it on again and again he couldn't wait anymore....when I said "How about we plug in on your nose, Fritz??"...then he hold his two nostril with his little finger straight after that. He's afraid if it's really true....hahahhahaa........

Fun

His the best station ever every time he goes to Mall Kelapa Gading. He's always sooo excited if he's inside Timezone. I seldom bought a ticket for him to play but that day I bought for 10,000 rupiah. He was soooo happy!!^^

The bad things happened when we decided to go home from MKG. First, Fritz was totally sleepy and refused to walked. He preferred to be carried by me. HuuuuHuuuu....he's getting heavy now....uugh my back!!

Second thing was we couldn't go home as it's raining outside. We waited and waited, finally the rain has stopped. So we could go home by angkot again than bajaj....hahahhaa.....*stingy mom ever*


On Thursday, we went to Phoenix Kids School at Menteng to help Papa in simple Bazaar. Fritz was so excited playing there. He could meet some new friends and very eager to play with them. However, I just felt a little disappointed when the kids couldn't be friendly with Fritz as he's not one of their friends there.

Fritz quite had some fun playing there...he's really enjoyed himself alone....^^



On Saturday, we went to Taman Safari at Puncak. Another field trip for Fritz. He was totally excited as well as tired. More story here....
