Art 

We started to do Art again. I asked Nicole to join with us making Alphabet's Hand Print Art. We did the Apple. I asked these kids to find a leave and a twig for their apples. Wow! It's really nice apple!!

Fun

We delivered Popo to a wedding party. This time, the couples were coming from Java. They held a Rama and Shinta dance for their opening party. As it's Fritz's first time, he was so enthusiast watching the dance. It's a romantic story dance. I also was so impressed with this dance. Learning could be everywhere! 

Popo has celebrated her 55 years birthday. She asked all of her children to have dinner at Golden Ming in Hotel Acacia. It's an All You Can Eat Dim Sum Restaurant. She bought a voucher from Disdus as she's got impressed when we asked her last time. 

I made an Oreo Cheese Cake for her. It's my first coming back baking a cake and it's also my very first time making this kind of cake. Not really too difficult but I was so afraid it's gonna be failed. 


Tadaaaa....my very first Oreo Cheese Cake

Science

I've got the idea when I was going to Learning Freedom Group on my FB. There's a mommy who always so diligent teaching her kiddos everything. She put resources for Science Experiment. Then, it's gonna be a great schedule for Fritz having simple experiment weekly. 

Our first Science Experiment was Water Bottle Fountain. It's very easy. 

Prepare:
- balloon
- an empty plastic bottle
- tack it
- straw
- cutter or screwdriver
- funnel
- a bottle filled with water
- a pump

To do:
1. Making holes on an empty plastic bottle using screwdriver or cutter
2. Put the straw and stick the tack it around, to make the water doesn't come out
3. Pour the water through the funnel
4. Blow the balloon using the pump and put the balloon around the mouth of the bottle. 
5. See how the water coming out from the straw. It shows there's air in the balloon pushing the water out.

As putting the balloon around the mouth of the bottle was not getting easier, Fritz decided to blow it by himself. He said he just pee using his mouth. Oh NOOOO....LOL

Craft


After few weeks, we had Origami time again finally. This time, he chose to make a penguin and frogs. Making frogs were so easy but he still needed help to do it. Like usual, he put eyes and mouth to them after we've done. ^_^

Miscellaneous

I found an Iron Man mask when we had lunch at Graha Raya. He was so happy when I bought it for him. It's not an expensive toy for sure, not more than IDR 25,000. 


Every Monday, I give a tutor to Nicole. I teach her reading, math and some other fun activities things. Every time I teach, Fritz always joins with us learning together. 

Fun

We spent this weekend by going to Science Fair. More story here...
8:19 PM

Kalbe Children Science Fair at Ecovention, Ancol

Kalbe Children Science Fair at Ecovention, Ancol
We found an advertisement in the way home at Kebon Jeruk high way about Science Fair at Ecovention Ancol. It's gonna be great to go there. We arranged our time to spend a day to attend that fair. 

We arrived at Ancol less than 8 AM as it's cheaper, only 10K rupiahs for every person passing the entrance gate and 20K for the car. So it cost 50K rupiahs for the entrance. The fair itself opened at 9 AM. So we decided to walk in the EcoPark first. We brought our own fish's food to be thrown for fish in the fake harbor.  


After that, we decided to have our breakfast near the lake. It's just like a picnic for us without any mat of course. LOL.


Fritz wanted to go up the bridge and here my boys were running down the bridge.


Running through the path


Time to go inside the Fair! It's free and of course it's so crowded!!

He's under the sea ^_^

Wow, there's lots of people inside here and I didn't recommend to go there again. We couldn't see anything except tons of people around us. It's just attending a concert rather than a Science Fair.

We continued with Phonic from Kindergartenkindergarten.com. he loved to do it, especially when he had to color the words. Next, he had to cut the letters and pasted it next to the words. It's really fun!

Math

Fritz is getting great in addition. I gave him another challenge, he had to count the domino dots. He's a bit confusing with it but he could finish it with my help. 

Learning Toys

Recently he loves to play with cards. Before he went to sleep he asked me to play Uno cards with me. After few roles,  I asked him to sleep but he refused it. He found another cards from his drawer, domino shape cards that we got it from Chloe 3rd birthday. He said he anted to play with it. Though I needed to guide him along the play, he was really showing his excited face during the game. Oh boy! ^_^

Miscellaneous

This lil boy really has lots of style in eating. This time he ate his lunch shirtless and put his laptop in front him. He said he was on working. Silly boy!!


I found this picture on Nicole's room when I came for teaching her. Oh nooo....LOL


Fritz's favorite breakfast - bread filled with eggs and mayonnaise. Nice! 


Fritz was taking nap with Papa in Sunday noon. What a great time for Mama having me time. LOL

Fun

Again, we attended a wedding party and this time we had to deliver Popo to Balai Samudera. We met DJ Kemal, a radio announcer for Gen FM. We asked him to take a photo with us. LOL

My New Business : Allella Shop

My New Business : Allella Shop
I bravely reopened my online shop after one of my friend who owned a big business in baby and children clothing offered me to sell her clothes by consignment system. Before, I've ever tried lots of things to be sold in my FB account as I really wanted to be a full time mom but it's never put any success. Honestly, I was having a bit trauma. She convinced me that I had to try again this time and yes, she's success to convince me! ^_^

I officially started reopened my FB online shop account at the end of June. Starting by selling thermal bags that she produced by herself, I could sell few bags in few days. Nothing to lose, I tried to offer the Pre Order clothes and ready clothes via my BBM and FB accounts. The respond was so nice. In the end of July, I could grab more than 200K rupiahs profit.

It's really hard to maintain my time between working as a teacher and selling clothes through online. Both are so exciting!! However, I try my best to maintain a good relationship with my friend. Hopefully, I'll never make her disappointed with me and I really pray lots that it's gonna be more success a year later. Amiiinn....

Fritz became my model since I have this business

My New Business : Nano Spray

My New Business : Nano Spray

My friend from high school, Erfiena, texted me on my Blackberry Messenger one day in April 2013. She asked me to join with her in her new MLM business. She explained to me and honestly I was attracted. I wanted to join with her but for one and some reasons I decided not to join with her. It's quite a new business and I believe it's gonna be so booming one day. However, I had to refused her offered because I couldn't afford it.

For months, this business was still on my mind. Slowly but sure, I hear more and more about this products and it happened. This business is getting wider and wider now just as like as my prediction few months ago. This September, I decided to join with my friend. I contacted her again and asked her to give me more information about this business.

Let me explain a bit about it. It's MCI - Millionaire Club Indonesia. The famous products of this business is Nano Spray as you seen on the picture. What stuff is that? It's a media for changing the particle of water into nano size so that it's gonna easier to go through inside our skin. When we wash our face with water, it absolutely just clean the outer part of our skin. The particle of water isn't small enough to clean deep down inside our skin. With this media, Nano Spray, it believes can make our skin brighter than before as the water size can go through inside our pores. Believe me, it's just only water, none of chemical stuffs!

Why do I so attracted with Nano Spray?
First, it's because of never ending pimples on my face. I must deal with the pollution in the street when I go working with my bike. I really need something to make all my pimples disappeared. I know it's unbelievable with a small stuff like Nano Spray can make my face brighter and none of pimples on my face again. It is just like a miracle.

I prove it with my pimple few days after I bought it. It's Saturday morning, I use my Nano Spray filled with O2 water and I sprayed it into my pimples in the morning before I went for teaching private classes. At that time it's just only red swollen. Then, in the afternoon, there's a white around the red swollen, means it's gonna busted. The next day, Sunday morning, I used the Nano Spray again and again. I couldn't remember how many times I sprayed it into my busted pimples. Really, it looked so scary. I hated when my pimples busted when I had to go for a wedding party in the night. It's really hard to put any make up on it to disguise.

Miracle, my busted pimples area was getting closed just before I go for a wedding party that night. Not really cleaned enough but it's proved. I could put on my make up on my pimples area. Unluckily, I didn't take any photos of it. Since that, I believe with Nano Spray, it really works.

Now, it's not a dream again for me having a brighter face without pimples in my face. Wohooooo!! Who wants to join with me?? ^_*

K4 : Week 23
Fritz is currently 4 years 5 months

Phonics

The worksheets were from COAH. He had to guess the middle letter of CVC words. He still needed help when doing it. 


Worksheets from KindergartenKindergarten became his favorite one. This time, he had to arrange the sentence. I helped him a bit {combining the sentence as it's his first time arranging words into sentence} and he did the rest. Good job, boy!

Miscellaneous

During Sunday Mass, Fritz was idle as usual. He got a free paper and a pen. He drew this. Left picture was him and Nicole, his very best friend recently, completed with a shirt and a belly on them. They pretended walking down the street and there's a car on it. The next one on the top right was his house. The scrambled one was the garage and a street. Down right was Nicole's house, again with garage but none street. How lovely his pic! :D


After the mass, he asked for this Yupi gummy along the way home. He remembered me again and again to get this. So we had to drop at the nearby supermarket around Opa's house to buy this. Ugh! >,<

Then he said he wanted to share this to Nicole. Sweet! ^_^

Fun
We rarely went together with Opa and Oma to a wedding party. Tonight, they asked us to join with them attending a party held by their old friend from school. It's a good offer for us having a free dinner. :P


I knew it's a kinda weird but we sometimes had this kind of opportunity as we delivered my MIL to wedding party. This time, we had it from my side.

Sorry, no picture attached..

Homemade Grass Jelly

Homemade Grass Jelly

My students gave this to me. A week before, I ordered it to my students - siblings named Abby and Reyhan as they said that their grandpa always makes a homemade grass jelly. I said to them that I wanted to buy it. When they gave it to me, they said that his grandpa said it's free for me as I'm their teacher. Blessings, of course!

I feel so blessings working with kids. They are really having a pure heart with others and I really do love them (kids) so much. Sometimes, they gave me something, though it's a small thing such as chocolates, candy or even stationery but they gave me with their love. They didn't give me with some intentions to make them going home earlier or any conspiracy like adults do with adults. This is how I adore kids so much, their love to others is still pure.

Finding a House

Finding a House

Finally, God allowed us to have a house and that is our future house. ^_^

Almost 3 months we searched a house for us but it seemed like finding a needle in haystack. We had to face so many up and down problems appeared.

It started when I knew one of my friend has an auction house that it's very cheaper for almost 200m2 area. Then, we decided to buy that house next year. We've already talked with her. However, in the middle of our way, we found it's very difficult to buy an auction house. It should be cash, in fact, we didn't have any. Then, the bank also couldn't give us any loan for that kind of auction house. SO..it meant, we needed cash.

I told this situation to my another friend. She told me not to take that house. She said, it's better if we look for another house that bank could give us loan. Then, in the end of June, we searched a house. We found it. I found what I wanted.

Again, in the middle of our journey, we faced rocks. We talked to a bank counselor and he said that we needed a great bank's account if our loans needed to be approved. In fact, our accounts were very terrible. Not qualified! Another rock, he said it's gonna be more difficult for us as we're not an employee in an office. We're an entrepreneur who had less money in our account. It's very impossible for bank gave us the loans. We're dead!

Though it's gonna be very impossible there's a little hope inside. The bank counselor said, anything can be happened. He said we need to fix our accounts in bank for 3 months. So it meant, we have a hope to have a house. Besides, my friend gave us her hand. She said she wanted to help us by making a situation that I or Ali is her employee in her baby shop. She's gonna make a salary note if the bank needed it.

Few weeks after that, we've come with another thought. How about we bought a new house from a developer? We drove our car to Pamulang, South Tangerang on August 16th. Maybe we could have another lucky this time though I know it's so far away from Jakarta.

We went to Serpong City Paradise. It's a great environment. We made a deal with the marketing person by putting our money. She gave 3 days to consider it whether we wanted the house or not. After that, we went to Serpong Jaya, near the previous one. We also put our money there as our deal with the marketing person. We went home with a new hope as they said they could help us.

It's easier to buy a house from the first hand (means from the developer) rather than from the second hand house. The bank and the developer need customers and usually they make it easier giving the loans.

The next day, we went back to Serpong and we found a house in Serpong Garden, near BSD. The marketing person gave us a house that it's very suit for me. It's a 7x12m house with a kitchen beside, it's really a dream house for me. I agreed with Ali that it's gonna be our house. When we talked about our condition {we're an entrepreneur and we didn't have any good accounts in bank}, he asked the bank counselor to come. We talked to him and he said it's very impossible for bank granted our loan but he wanted to help us.

After few days, he said that Ali's account was cleaned from checking but he said he gave up helping us as our condition was very impossible to be helped. Honestly, I was so deep upset. Why is it hard for us having a house? We just need a house for staying.

It's the first time in my life I believe in Novena. I did the Novena, need God helping us in this situation.

One day, when Ali was going to buy krupuk, he passed a street near Metro Permata. He saw a housing banner along that street. He was so curious and he came to the marketing office for asking. He told me that there's a cheap house for us to buy.

It's just like an answer from God, He made it easily. Shortly, we bought a house in Yellow Garden with 60 times payment to the developer finally. We don't need any bank as we paid it to developer and we don't need to lie to the bank. Thankfully, we afford to buy a house in the end. It's just like a miracle of NOVENA. Thanks GOD!!!

Fun
Mama's best friend, Tante Indah, was coming to Jakarta. She lives in Bali and for few months she comes back to Jakarta to visit her mom. 

We wanted to see her at her mom's house at Muara Karang. We went there by my brother car. I hate driving car nowadays, the traffic is absolutely bad. Fritz even told me not to use a car anymore instead of using our motor. We took almost 2 hours in the street. Ugh!

The traffic!!

We spent few hours at her mom's house. We talked lots of things while the kids were happy playing together. Here's the picture of us. What a cute lil girl!! ^_^
