Kaleidoscope 2012

Kaleidoscope 2012
This year is coming to the end in few days. What did I do during this year?

January
I started my first serving with Komunitas Sahabat, sharing with grandparents in KKIT with several people who cares with them too. I also was crazy in love with digiscrapping. I met a new friend who also has the same passion with me, named Nadia Aryani. I was trying my Photoshop skill again that time after I left it for couple of years. This month we celebrated Chinese New Year. Ii Ahan was coming with her family to Jakarta and celebrated with us. We also had some happy days with friends. Louis and Widya were coming over and bringing their lovely baby, Oliver. Fritz was celebrating Lona's birthday too this month.

February
I started my work as articles writer at Sekolah 123. I also got my first laptop this month. Yippiieeee.....
Another Arisan with Mom on March and this time was at Pauline's house. :D

March
It was Fritz's 3rd birthday. I made him Cars cupcakes. He was so happy at that time {melted} though he just finally recovered from his illness for almost 3 weeks. We didn't know what's wrong with him and thanks to God that he's getting healthy again because I cooked homemade meals for him. As Fritz was 3 yo this month, so I changed the called of Nursery into Preschool for his Home Education.

April
During this month, Fritz was also having a blast party with his another 15 friends from Moms on March groupies. What a great birthday ever! We also having Easter time this month and we had to go for 3 mass overall as usual. This month, I had a Mandarin trial class for Fritz near Oma's house. He was so excited and still waiting for his Mandarin class till now. LOL. Fritz was having his first Disney on Ice show. Very exciting!   Another exciting day was when we're visiting my previous work field, Apple Tree Preschool. They had new building and it's very cool!! And this month, I joined as Creative Team for some designers of Digiscrapping. Actually it's the moments when I was so become a busybody person in scrapping. Bad moms! The biggest moment ever was my last 20's birthday. Next year's gonna be 30 years. Bye-bye my teenage years. Huhuhuhu....:( 

May
Nothing really special this months. I just prepared for Cupcakes orders from Emil for her school's events. Thanks God, I made 74 cupcakes that I sold for 15,000 rupiahs each. The big moment when Fritz was having his first swimming time again after he refused all the time. Another moment was having a fun day with 90 kids from Kelas Belajar Oky with Komunitas Sahabat. It's really great that Fritz could join though just for few minutes then after that he had bleeding nose and had to get safe by going to mall. LOL. This month, I joined with DBC by my friend's recommendation. It's just took for couple months then I collapsed. :D

June
My parents house was having a small renovation so we're staying at apartment for more than a month. It's really a great holiday ever. I could cook and maintain my days with Fritz. This month, I've got a big opportunity to join with Brisikers Lestari. To be honest, I was waiting for this moment for so long as I was a very big fans of them. Wohoooo.....

July
Still having long summer holiday in heaven this month and playing with these moms in my new neighborhood. LOL. We were really having lots of fun things together, just three of us! Fritz was having his first hair cut this month, what a moment! We had another gathering again with Mom on March. This time for visiting Mom Merry who just delivered her baby boy. I knew it's very embarrasing moment ever, I met Krisdayanti in Gandaria City and I was so excited meeting her. LOL. Big moments for this month was having new car. Actually it isn't purely our car. My MIL and BIL are borrowing us this car for Ali's daily operation. So sad not seeing Mr Janki anymore. :(

August
My very best friends from Dwarf delivered her baby named Drago on 18th August. Together with other Dwarfz, we were visiting Drago and his beloved mom and dad at his house. It's a reunion of Dwarfz as Mandha was coming from Padang with Verren and her hubby too. Then this month we're having Lebaran holiday. My MIL asked us to go to Kuningan and Bandung for spending this holiday. 

September
I tried to have my own business by selling homemade Choux Pastry. It's good for beginning but it's over now. *grin* Then, we had an opportunity to go to IIMS with my MIL. We'd got free for the tickets from my BIL. We also celebrated my MIL's birthday that day. Another thing was Glitz had meeting in my apartment. I joined with 3 other friends to have new business in field trip and party organizer.

October
I tried another way for my own business. I wanna be a Digi Scrap Designer. I learnt with Junieke, my high school best friend, but it didn't walk smoothly. Suddenly, in the middle of my learning, one of Dwarfz, Andry, saw my flannel creation. She asked me to make some orders for her boy. So, I stopped learning Photoshop and Illustrator then I accepted the orders.

November
Our wedding anniversary month. It's been 5th years with him. Finally, I finished the flannel orders. Then, I'd terrific day with Komunitas Sahabat, having an EduTrip by going to TMII with Roemah Hati. Fritz was becoming a star for a day. :D The good news was coming in the end of the month and was really changing my life. I've got a new private class. I handle 2 siblings, brother and sister. This was the answer of my prayer. Praise the Lord! 

Desember
The last month in 2012 started by joining again with Komunitas Sahabat's EduTrip with Save Street Children to TMII. Then Ali's aunty was coming to Jakarta. We had great X'mas holiday to Bandung with her. On Christmas day, we had a family dinner with Ali's maternal family to King's Palace Restaurant. Few days after that, Fritz was having his first going to dentist. He's totally great!! :D And for the closing, Peggy invited us to celebrate Audrey's 8th birthday at Penang Bistro. It's also a gathering with Chantique Ghantenk's genk before we said bye-bye to our teriffic days in 2012.

I really thanked to HIM for all the great days HE gave to us. So many things we did during this year. I really learnt lot this year, giving our best efforts in life. Thanks GOD....for all YOU've done in our life.

Queenie was busy sharing her small balloons to big children. Cute Queenie!

It's really a happy time we could gather again. Moms were busy talking with moms and dads did the same thing while the kids were busy running here and there around the room. Dads as usual didn't want to be bother with the kids thing. :P

Preschool : Christmas Holiday

Preschool : Christmas Holiday
 Fritz is currently 45 months 

This year, thankfully, we had so much fun during our Christmas holiday. Here what we did.....
Book
We've got lots of cheap books from Books store at Balubur Town Square. It's very recommended place for buying second import books. They sold tons of books and quite cheaper. There's a sticker behind the books to know the price based on the color. We chose the green sticker as it's the cheapest one, 15,000 rupiahs each. Thanks to my friend who recommended this store to us, Ms Suzanna. 
note: need to get back here again!! :)
Practical Life
He said he wanted to wash his own plate after he ate his meal. Really appreciate his willingness to help me. Thanks, my boy! *kiss*
Fun
This Christmas holiday, we're having fun with Papa's maternal family. We're going to Bandung and staying in Dago for 3 days. Stories more in here.
After we went from Bandung, we're having Christmas Eve's mass at Atma Jaya University. We sat together with Lona and Rafael. Today was Lona's birthday. Look at her with Minnie Mouse's ear. She looked so pretty. <3 p="p">
We had treated by Lona's parents at Kuningan City to celebrate Lona's day. Lona was so happy and she showed her blowing candles pictures again and again to us. LOL. Love this girl so much!! *kiss*

Brisikers : Otang

Brisikers : Otang
Yay! Finally I've got my Otang after I waited for few months. I waited for Ali taking it for me from Depok. One of my lovely friend from the club, Kak Yunita who stays in Vietnam had given it to me few months ago. She asked me to take it from her parents house. For some reasons, we couldn't get it. Ali said that he would take it during Christmas holiday. 

What is Otang actually? Otang or we called it Oven TANGkring is an oven that use gas for baking. It doesn't have any temperature while baking. We're just using our feeling to make it sure done. Some mommies love this oven so much as it's cheaper than using the electricity one. Besides, it's more spacious than the electricity. 

Thankfully, I've got it FREE! Thanks, Kak Yunita *hugs*

Yippiiiieeeeee......I will bake more with it!!!!! Just wait and see my creation after this.....

Fritz going to Dentist

Fritz going to Dentist

One of Fritz's tooth was decay and there's a little hole on it. For more than 2 weeks I always talked about going to dentist with him. Thanks to God it worked! He's willing to go to dentist without any drama.

He really couldn't wait his first time. He asked many times when his turn would be as he had waited for half an hour for it in the waiting room. Then, when we're permitted to go up, he took my hands and asked me to hurry up. 
He's so enthusiast but he needed me to sit together in the patient chair. He really wanted ii Ling2 to fix his teeth. He could sit still from the beginning till the end of the checking. I was so proud of him.

After he's done, he saw Papa being checked by ii Ling2. Thankfully he's the first because Papa was showing not good reaction during the checking. Poor Papa! LOL

Dinner at King's Palace

Dinner at King's Palace

Ii invited us to join the dinner for all the members of family at King's Palace, Kelapa Gading. It's mostly all Ali's maternal families. 

Actually we wanted to go by angkot but the weather was unfriendly. So we decided to use the car and picked my MIL and BIL first before we went to the restaurant. 

When we arrived, Ii and the rest of family had come already. We're the last members. :P

Fritz was not in good mood, either he's sleeping or what [no idea], but he was so starving that night. He ate a lot and Ii was amazed with him.

We delivered Ii home to her hubby's sister's house. Before that, we delivered my MIL and BIL first back home first.

It's really a nice journey with Ii for few days. Nice talk too with her. See you soon, Ii!! :)

When Ii Comes....

When Ii Comes....
This year we're having a great holiday with Ali's aunty from Hongkong. She's purposely coming to Jakarta and asked all the big families from Ali's mom to spend few days in Bandung. She'd asked few months before to rent a villa for gathering. Then, we remembered about the villa that my big fam from Dad's side had ever rented before in Dago. So, after we've got the numbers from my aunty, we'd called the person and thankfully we'd got it.

Ii {called for Ali's aunty from Mom's side} was coming to Jakarta on Friday, Dec 21st. She had been picked by Ali and my MIL. She asked my MIL to accompany her at the hotel. As the traffic was really heavy that day, Ali was a bit late to pick up her. He was totally exhausted actually that week because of the traffic and also of his lovely aunty from his Dad's side.

The journey was beginning at 7 AM on Saturday. Three of us had to go to PIK market first to put some Ali's         orders to seller. After that, we picked Ii and my MIL at Aston Hotel, Cengkareng. Then, we picked my brother in law at Pulo Mas, my MIL's house. The real journey was starting at 11 AM and the traffic was absolutely really really heavy as the GPS said. We didn't take any highway and preferred to pass Bekasi's street way.

Fritz was a bit not happy when Ii {Ipho for Fritz} hardly asked him to sit and wear seat belt if he wanted to sit in front. After that, he was totally good during our long journey to Dago. Ipho was so nice to him and gave him a pack of jelly candy that he of course was so excited with it. :D

During our way, we stopped at gas station and had our lunch. The restaurant was really so tricky. They said that they just served "soto kikil" and "soto babat" only that I really couldn't eat it. In the end of our eating, I saw that they served fried chicken. Ugh!! I made a complain to one of the waiter and of course that she didn't want to be blamed. :(

After our lunch, I decided to drive, taking turns with Ali. Another traffic again till our Villa. Finally, we arrived at 5PM and the weather was so nice; rains, flood and fogs. Wohooooo......breeziing!! :D 

My memory was back to 5 years past when I was with my Dad's big families there in New Year's Eve. Lovely moments! :)

We're waiting for another family, my MIL's brother's family and her Mom in one car. As we waited for them, we took some photos and cleaned up ourselves. My MIL was busy in the kitchen preparing for our dinner, fried chicken and rendang. 

So after they're coming, cleaning up ourselves and choosing the room for sleeping, we had our dinner together in breezing night. We spent the night by watching the movie, only me, Ali, my brother in law and Ali's cousin {Wilson} after I and Ali had made Fritz asleep. He asked two of us accompany him to sleep and also with Popo {my MIL}. We crept out from the room after he was sleeping. :D

The next day, we had various breakfast; bread and jam, the last supper - fried chicken and rendang, and instant noodle -the favorite's one! :D Then we decided to go out at 10 AM. It's really the most traffic jam ever we had! We spent few hours to go to one place and we just went for 3 place; Serabi Bandung, Factory Outlet {actually we're going to Trans Studio Bandung} and Ma' Uneh's Restaurant. Fiuuuuuh.......wipe the sweat! It was not fun anymore!! :((

Everyone was totally not happy with it and we're just so grumpy with that. It's really so crazy that Bandung was chaos of traffic. 

Three of us was falling asleep at 10 PM. It's all because of Fritz, Ali said. He asked me and Ali to go asleep accompanying him and badly we also fell asleep too. LOL

The last day, we decided to go to the Kartika Sari and Prima Rasa early in the morning to avoid the traffic jam we had like the day before. Just take not more than 3 hours, we had what we wanted, snacks from Bandung! We packed our things and ready to heading home. Again, the weather was not friendly. 

The breakfast and the lunch were being prepared by Ali's aunty that sells coconut rice. She loves to cook and it's really her pleasure to cook for us. We had fried rice, fried kwetiaw that Ali had bought when we went to PIK market for breakfast. For lunch we had vegetable soup and Gepuk Ny Ong that we had bought after the last dinner. So yummy!!

We're heading home at 11 AM. Ii was sitting with Ali's Uncle's car as my MIL wanted to head home earlier. She wanted to go to church as it's X'mas's Eve. However, Ali said that he still wanna join with them as they're going to Lembang. My MIL was so unhappy but she didn't have any choice. LOL

And....the result was not nice. The GPS said that Lembang was in heavy traffic as usual. So everybody was heading home. Hahahahahhaa....

Before that, I asked Ali to go to book store, BOOKS in Balubur Town Square. They had tons of collection of second import books with lower price of course. It's really heaven! I've got 17 books for almost 200 rupiahs. I wanna go back there again! *cross my fingers*

We're heading home after that. Bye-bye Bandung and here's we come Jakarta!

The holiday was full of traffic but it's quite great to know more my another families from Ali's side. :D

Brisikers : Lini came to our Apartment

Brisikers : Lini came to our Apartment

Another meeting with Brisikers, Lini and her 2 kiddos. Three of them were coming to our apartment in the middle of suddenly heavy pouring rain just when Lini had dropped her phone with me. Lini wanted to buy Shantang oranges from Ali and they came before their Wushu's class in the afternoon. She also brought 2 jams for me. It's exchanged time actually. :D

Fritz really couldn't wait to meet his new friends. He asked again and again what time they would come. Few  times he opened the door and put his head out checking their attendance. LOL

When they came, Fritz was the happiest one. I was still busy preparing the meal for them. I made the simple one, Spaghetti Bologna. Thankfully, the kids loved it, even Fritz wanna eat together with them.

Lini and I were busy chit chatting while the kiddos were busy in the room, making some lovely laughter together. I really wanted to meet Lini from maybe almost a year before. I admired her so much. However, it's the right time God made us meeting each other and it happened in my house, as my wished.

Thanks for coming, Lini. We're waiting for your coming again next time!!!! :D

Letter R
I was busy in the kitchen when he asked me to study that day. He insisted to learn though I said later. Then, I just gave him the paper and he became so busy with all of the worksheet. I just assisted a while then I continued my cook. In the end, I got some was completed it nicely but some was being messy in his hand. :D
 
Math
Fritz started to learn addition. It's still simple addition and using a material that I've bought from Asemka. He's quite good enough and understand the concept using the material. He even asked more and more to do the worksheet. It's fun for him. Thanks God he liked it. :) 
 
Miscellaneous
He just found again his 'friends' in the warehouse when he followed Oma looking for the Christmas Tree there. He was so happy seeing them again. Then, he put them on the chair and gave them umbrella while he was busy decorating the tree. LOL 
 
Fun
It's almost Christmas and it's time for decorating the tree. He of course loved this activity so much and couldn't wait his time to do it. Last year, he's a bit bored with this activity and preferred playing with the ornaments. This year, he involved in decorating it. He's quite satisfied with his decoration. FYI, he hummed "Jingle Bells" all the time. :D

Brisikers : Outfit from Mba Moi

Brisikers : Outfit from Mba Moi

A friend of mine, Mba Moi, is a very good person. She is much older than me and I really thankful that I have her as one of my best friend. She is very kind to everyone and always spreads good words to others. Sometimes when I have a problem of life, she always gives her words to comfort me. She's just like a mom for us in theclub.

One day, she posted her some outfits that she wanted to share to her besties. I was so thankful that I could get some of her son's outfits. Those are still looking great. When those arrived at my Mom house, Fritz was very exciting to open the package from her. He couldn't wait to see what's inside. When he successfully opened it, he was amazed by the shirts. 

Thanks to you, Mba Moi for your sharing to us. :) *hugs*
