I was so excited that I could follow this kind of activity. I was waiting for so long to meet some of these creative people who believe that homeschooling is better than common school.

It's KLUB OASE with lots of people gathering in the same vision of homeschooling. They sometimes held some activities together with their members and I wasn't too brave enough to join with them.

That day, bravely, I wanna join with them and couldn't wait to meet them in their making and decorating cup cake activity. Though it took quite some time to find the place, thankfully we arrived safely in Maria Christina's house in Kalimalang.

There's lots of adults and children already there and they're cheerfully and friendly greeted me. I was so happy with this greeting how they were so charm...I was so excited too seeing them.

Fritz was also excited. He could adapt well with his new friends. There's a time when he refused to join with me in making the cupcake. Few minutes after that, he came and wanna see the making process and he insisted to pour the dough by his own. I really liked his big enthusiasm to involve in one activity. That's good!

However, again, it's related with his ego. He didn't wanna share with his friends while he was being asked to play with the homemade dough. He looked very selfish and couldn't be touch by every one.

The rest was me who decorated the cupcake as I was so curious how to make it. Maybe one day I could make it for someone's birthday, whether Papa or Fritz......let's we see.....^^

Hopefully, I can join with them again and ask for many questions in my mind about homeschooling........lovely environment and lovely person I met!! ^^

Too bad my camera was off because we lacked of the battery. So I didn't have any pictures at all.

See the pictures from here....

ABC
Dough
We started the week by poking the dough. Fritz was trying to make his own letter O by himself but he's still not really able to do it. He just loves to poke it. ^^

Tracing
He could make the letter O by himself though he made it incorrectly. He started from the top to the left and he stopped below then he started again from top to the right to below. Hmmm.....is it creative or what?? ^^

Coloring Objects
Red is his favorite color. ^^

Now, he's getting neatly in coloring the objects. He tried his very best to make it nice. He also learned new vocab from here and eager to repeat what I was saying. There were Otter, Ostrich, Oval and Octopus.

Pasting Objects
Applying glue and pasting the things are BIG hits for him. He's getting capable in applying the glue though it's not sticking nicely as he just applied it a little only....x__x

During this activity, he also wanted to repeat the vocabularies with me.

Matching Shadow
Good job, boy. He did all by himself....again, applying glue and pasting still his BIG hit!!

Craft

He was so enthusiast making this owl. Proudly he's showing to Opa....
Shape
Another O again....it's for Oval..
Science
He learned all about OX...

Cooking
He's Opa's lover....what Opa does, he always follows.
Workbook
He's not in the mood while making this Math workbook. He asked me to hold his hand while tracing the numbers.....^^

Gross Motor : Sand and Kenzo
As we stayed in Apartment, it's very nice to walk in the afternoon to see some friends and play in the sandpit.

That afternoon, Fritz asked me to play in the sand pit and insisted to still use his shoes. Oh noo!!

I asked him to find some pebbles there and he found lots.

After that, we went to the small fountain near our tower. There's Kenzo, a boy that we had known from last week. Fritz tried to make a friend with him and played together. Coz it's getting dark, we had to say goodbye in the lift as he's also living in the same tower as we do.

Nice day in the apartment!! ^^

Practical Life

Fritz was enjoying to pour and transfer these OATMEAL....

He played with it for almost half an hour by himself. I just prepared for him and he took his time playing it alone. He played it very nice without any messy around.....


Wow.....I'm so surprised knowing that he's able using the scissors now. He asked me the Octopus's hand while we made the craft. Then, he asked me to get his scissors and he cut here and there by his own. He asked me again and again the origami paper to be cut. He enjoyed his time playing with the scissors for almost half an hour.....

Learning Toys
He grabbed this small mat and took off the parts. I thought he just wanted to mess it up and didn't wanna to clean up. Suddenly, he put the letter again in it's parts nicely without I realized it.
Miscellaneous
While I was busy explaining him about Ox, he was too busy matching his crayons' color with his cars. X_X
Fun

He insisted to go to the mall that afternoon before we went to Opa's house. He has his leisure time in Timezone, the popular place for kids. I didn't filled the cards for him as he always gets easily bored to play in one toy there. He wanted to explore all the toys. So it's wise if I didn't fill the card for him as he's already enjoyed his time playing from one toy to another toys.....

*Living World, Alam Sutera*

In Saturday, after Mom"s done with the private classes, we went to Living World {twice for Pop and Fritz when both were waiting for Mom before}. We went there for a reason. Pop wanted to buy a smart phone for him. He needs it so badly as it's gonna easier for him to trade with his customers.

Another have fun weekend.

Yaaaaay!!!!

Finally we went here again....to celebrate our risen of life...very big thanks to Ali!!!

It took almost 3 years we're not going here. Today, we had our lunch, just 3 of us!!

Badly, Fritz didn't really like sushi and prefer to have a nap in the baby chair to enjoy his lunch.

Of course, I'm the one who was very enthusiast with this....love...love...love this place and love sushi so much.....

We're enjoying our time and my tummy was sooooo full after that.....couldn't wait to get back there!!!

Congratulation!!

Finally....my brother has graduated from his study in Atma Jaya through up and down of his "fighting" in mind....

Hopefully, he's gonna have a great job after this......Amin!! ^^

Thankfully, our financially is moving up after almost 3 years we're struggle for live.

It's started when Ali's Popo {Grams} was talking to one of the customer in front of her house in one day in the morning. From that simple talks, she told that there's a woman with her gangs really need someone who can drive safely and honestly to their works. Of course, Grams recommended Ali to be their driver.

Then, she called Ali to call that woman. Make it short, both has a deal and it's gonna started on Monday 19/9. We need a week to repair our car; the machine, the window {make it dark} and etc.

When Ali has started with his new job, means I have to deal with the traffic in the way to my own work by using motorcycle.....fiuuuh.....;P He couldn't drive anymore to the work as he has to pick and deliver them home.

Ali started the day around 6 {he wakes up at 5 daily} and started to pick them one by one. There's 5 person in a row. Then he has to deliver them to their work in different places and they have to arrive in their work around 7.30 to 8.30. He's trying his best to deal with the traffic in the street. Thankfully, he does it very well.

After he's done with the delivery, he stopped at his Mom's house to park his car there. He continued his journey in the noon by finding some customers who want to buy the krupuk and otak-otak using his motorcycle that he has put there.

Then, in the afternoon, he has to be ready in first person's office around 5 PM. He continues to pick them from one office to others again and time to face another story in the afternoon. Heavy traffic jam around Jakarta. He successfully delivers them safely in their house around 7.30.

What a day for my man but he really does it very well for us!! ^^

Of course our days gonna be change as I have my own job too and we're just moving to Apartment.

Our days gonna be like this....

We're staying in Apartment from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon. I and Fritz are following with the gangs home. Then, we're staying in my parent's home from Tuesday night to Saturday morning as I have job during those days.

Since that day, our financial is moving up slowly but sure. The gangs buy our things and they sell again to their colleagues in their office. Friends to friends. Another demands also come one by one. Every day there's someones are asking for our things.

Our decision moving in to our apartment is right. Though its too small and isn't good enough to be lived as one of my friend said, but I believe our life's gonna be changed after this. We're bravely facing the days! I know it's sound "cheap" as a driver but I believe God has given His bless through this woman.

I learned a lot from my life and I was so thankful for what He did to me. He shaped me into a tough one. Thanks God for what You've done!!!! ^^

Fritz is currently 29 months 3 weeks

This week we're quite busy with our moving to Gading Nias Apart. I didn't have much time to post our activities. Besides, we didn't have any connection there. I also didn't provide to many activities for Fritz as we're still adapt with our new environment.

Moving In


This week, we started our new life in Gading Nias Residence near Kelapa Gading. We moved in on Sunday and it's quite hectic and busy. Packed up and cleaned up all the stuffs were made us so tired. Thankfully, Fritz was so happy to know that we're gonna stay in our small but comfy apartment. He's extremely HAPPY!!

After we had our dinner and we're such having an idle time, we decided to go to the nearest mall. As the parking lots was limited and we had to fight for looking the free space {read: it's really tightly and no space enough}, Pop decided not to use our car. So we went by 'angkot' [a common public transportation in Jakarta].


It's really the first time for Fritz going by angkot and he's so excited. ^O^ It's just took 5 minutes to get to the mall and we hang out. The problem appeared when we realized that we didn't know how to get home by angkot as it's our first time and it's night too ^o^. And thanks God, we finally found it. We had to cross the road first to get the angkot with the back route. Fiuuuuh!!!

Apart Days
Our days are gonna be change as we've already moved to our apartment. We're gonna spend few days, Sunday to Tuesday, there and we're gonna stay the rest of days in Opa's house. Mom still has some few classes in the day to night, so we have to separate our days like this. Hopefully, one day we could stay in our apartment when Pop has able to fulfill all our needs. ^^ *crossfingers*

So, here some activities we did for 2 days.


The doll house belongs to Mom....still cool!! ^^

Afternoon walking with Pop

Playing in the small playground

Playing sand with new friends but he refused to take off his shoes...X_X

Here he was....with shoes in sand pit

Bad face!

He loves the mirror so much and stood there for almost an hour. He made some funny faces, sang unclear songs, did some conversation with his imagination friends {I thought} and made some silly actions.

OOOh.....I almost forgot....he wore upside back cloth as he wanted to wear the white as same as Opa's shirt. -__-'"

During the day we spent together, Fritz has eaten a lot than I expected. However, he found himself was very difficult to poop....oooh noooooo!!! Less fruits and veggie I think and also less of movement as our apartment was small enough to move....^^

Overall, we really had fun and enjoyed days there......and I have to postpone my blog as we don't have any internet there.

Craft
*Letter K*
It looked like a Rock n Roll King....LOL.....

Fritz was so excited when he had to make this craft. He knows the letter very well as his uncle's name. The most exciting part was when he had to apply the sequences.


The next other activity he loved that day....making Kangoroo.....and he was getting so cooperative when making some crafts. He seems so enjoying his time now applying glue and pasting the stuffs.


He insisted to paste the kite upside down as he wanted. It's his imagination and I just tried to respect what he wanted. I helped him to paste the rope.

*Letter M*

I came up with this idea...making Mail for uppercase M. He just pasted the stamp and stamped the stamp too as Mr Postman did...^^

Then, I helped Fritz to write his name in FROM side and I wrote Mama in the TO side....^^

Making this Monkey as the lowercase of M with happy feeling.....He successfully did all the parts by himself without my help.....Good job, boy!


I printed Mama's picture with Fritz and made it as a 2x2 puzzle. Of course he was so keen making it. He just needed few minutes to complete my puzzle and then he showed to his Opa excitedly!! ^^

Fun

Joining with Mom in Ms Venny Santoso's wedding celebration. We took 2 hours in a way when we reached there. The traffic jam was soooo bad!! Many couples had their wedding day that weekend. Finally we arrived safely but the dishes were almost over.......hungry so much!!! ^^

more stories here


We attended a reunion for Pop's Alma mater. However, the kiddos weren't enjoying his time there and preferred to go to the Plaza Semanggi mall in the next building. So here we were......

We get used to be here yearly for at least twice in a year to attend Easter and X'mas mass. Since we have baby, we thought it's not quite simply to attend a mass in a far place instead we have the nearest church near our place.


It's been almost 3 years or more {I think}. To be honest, I missed this place. So many stories left behind and I really missed it so much {I always missed the memories ^O^}. But it's life that we have to face the future not the past and just kept it in my mind as the best experience I had in this place.

It's been 2,5 years since I was quit from my work. I've almost never met with my friends again from there. We're just make some conversation via smart phone, that's it, without seeing our faces.Thankfully, I still had some pictures with them . How I miss them a lot, when we giggled together talking all about things and did some meeting together. How time flies so fast and makes us growing mature......

Yippieeee..........I've my new driving license for motorcycle.

Actually, I wasn't too excited much if I had to imagine that I'm going to drive the motor by myself this week. As we know, the traffic in Jakarta was too "friendly" {read: messy} :(

I could drive the motorcycle when I was around 12 years old. ;) It's when I was in the end of Primary school. I know it's too young but my Dad bravely taught me using his motorcycle at that time. He believed me so much that I was so capable driving it.

After many years, around maybe 5 years, I'm not driving the motor by myself anymore {Ali always drives for me}, I was too scared to drive it. I usually drive it just around our neighborhood. This time, I have to drive in the big city way, Daan Mogot street. Oooooooh NooooooO!!!!!! :((

Thankfully, I did it successfully that day. I prayed lots along my way hopefully I could back home safely. Fiuuuuh......Thanks God, I was safely drive home.....

Couldn't wait longer to face the traffic in Jakarta using motorcycle.....XiXiXiXi......^^
