Happy Month

Hi, see you again in my Butterfly .....
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I hope in 2010 everything will be better than 2009 and I could fulfill my dreams.

I call December with Happy Month because in this month usually I spends my holiday in my hometown : celebrates my niece's bday, having a christmas mass with my family, etc. And in this December there's family gathering event because my grandma's sister came from Hongkong. The point is to spend the time together with my family.

Here's my Hello Kitty's birthday cupcakes gift for my niece, Anne.
I bought it from my friend, Shinta. You can check her blog at www.olanos.blogspot.com. Thanks, SHinta! Your cupcake is so beautiful and made my niece happy :)

Anne was so excited when visited her grandpa's chicken farm. She tried to catch one of the chicken but she couldn't .. Her dad and her grandpa tried to help her and voilaaa .... it worked!

Anne's birthday party. She is cute, right? With her beautiful orange dress and little crown.


Singing in the stage with her cousins with circle of flowers in her head : my mom's hand made.

When we said to Anne : Anne, pose! So she's ready with her position :P


Family gathering that usually held once a month. This family gathering was special because my grandma's sister came from Hongkong.

We spent new year eve with family dinner at home and we created a theme for that : Batik dress code!

We spent some days of our holiday in Yogya. Since we stayed at Sheraton Hotel, so everyday we filled it with swimming!! And I made it complete with sauna.

@ House of Rajminten, a resturant with a unique waitress dress :
The menu were so special, like my coconut drink :D The biggest glass of coconut that I'd ever drunk!!

@ Sheraton Hotel, Yogya :

@ Parangtritis Beach :
If you still remember what I'd written at my blog in November about the beach; that I was upset because my plan to Belitung was failed, so for I got Parangtritis for the substitute :) Thank God ...


Karaoke @ Inul Vizta, Solo :

and last but not least .. don't forget to visit Solo for culinary and shopping!
Will you? :)
See youuuuu .. Have a great day!

November Rain

See you again in this November Rain. Everyday after office hours always rain here, in Jakarta.
I planned to go to Belitung actually on November 27-29, but unfortunately I have to cancel it because the conditions were not too good. Rain, earthquake .. my friends were afraid that we couldn't enjoy our beach trip there. Hmm I'm little upset because of this, I really love beach and curious to see Belitung; which people said that it's the one of 10 places that must visited before we died. But it's ok, may be we could reschedule for the next time. I hope.

These pictures below were our lunch for celebrating my boss' birthday. Hmm not celebrating actually because my boss never come to these events .. so what we called for it? :P









Next month I will see you again with pictures from my hometown. Ho ho ho ..... :P
See you!

Traditions

Hi friends, see you again in this October, sweet month I think .. month of many traditions to celebrate and also my birthday celebration.
Thank God for your very kind blessings in my life.

If we think about October, it reminds us about Halloween and mooncake festival.
And it's all about traditions; something that we do every year .. like giving some cakes to treat when somebody in my office celebrates her or his birthday.
You can see in the pictures above about this traditions in my office.

So, happy bday to me :) Wish me luck and be blessed!

Happy Batik's Day

Dear friends, UNESCO declared Batik as our World Heritage, so our president asked us to wear Batik on October 2, 2009.

I think his request was heared by his people, they were so proudly wearing batik everywhere and also made their pictures in batik like me and my collagues did, and also my niece!! We're so proud too!

Eid Mubarak 1430H Holiday

As usual, my mom came to Jakarta in Eid Mubarak Holiday. The difference is at this time my dad couldn't come because he was busy with his chicken farm activities.

We spent this holiday at my bro's house in Alam Sutera, where my cute lil niece lived.

So, here are the journals :

My mom brought some meals from Solo like : Yummy Widuran fried chicken and also chicken from Sukoharjo (yes, chicken again) ...

Our activities were not too much, just ate, slept and also helped my sister in law to pick up Anne's toy everywhere. Because my sis in law didn't use maid for a long time and she is pregnant now, moreover my mom came and always cooking, so the dishes to be cleaned were never ended :) But it's nice and enjoyable time together with family.

One day, I promised Anne to have Sour Sally when we came to Jakarta (you know, Alam Sutera is Serpong). I thought she will like Sour Sally because she likes the sour taste so much like yoghurt, orange fruit, yakult, strawberry, lychee, etc. But when she had her Sour Sally, she couldn't endure the cold taste. She preferred the topping.

After that, Anne visited Lollipop at Senayan City to play. She was brave enough to play Jumping (I didn't know the name of the game) --> her body is tied with belt and then she could up and down in the air. She was brave enough too to do across the bridge (like flying fox) She was really really brave, isn't she? :)

While Anne played, me, my sis and my mom were shopping and eating at Burger King.

Me, my sis and my mom also visited Mangga Dua, the place that never be left out when my mom came :)

In the night, we're back to Alam Sutera to have our dinner at Bandar Djakarta, Alam Sutera in Flavor Bliss, the new hangout place in Alam Sutera. In Flavor Bliss we found Total Buah, Pisa Cafe, Bandar Djakarta, Radja Ketjil, etc and there will be Hoka Hoka Bento, Kopi Tiam soon.

I believe Bandar Djakarta is familiar for you, it's a branch of Bandar Djakarta, Ancol. The place is always full of people.

She was brave enough too to do this :

Other activities that we do was to do creative. Yeah, you know that my mom is a creative person and she always teaches Anne to be creative too.

If you ever visited my blog before, Anne was taught by mom to arrange flowers and paint the eggs, now my mom brought handmade for making masks. Anne just had to cut the pattern and finished the masks like this and she was so excited to do that :

So, when she learned something new, I learned it too :) Thanks Mom ..
