puncak-bandung 2009

One week vacation, take the children off their civilization, but still not 100% free, the hotel TV still captured their attention, heehee.. at least the outdoor got more portion than the media. And for Mika as an only child, socializing with her cousins and new accidentally friend are worth more than ever :)

:: We find bugs! Many of them..
















































:: And eat gudeg on Bandung, this is mama's wish :) The best gudeg in town *on my opinion, with more memorable value added- with Teh Botol. Yumm!













:: And going to the Geological Museum, a local museum in Bandung, it's free, quite good for a starter museum experience.

IF- shaky circus

I really looking forward for a Circus right now.. sigh!

Mandy & mami- Book launch

We have Mandy & mami book series launch last week, it was held in the place called Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia, a temporary place for children/ their families with cancer which is under treatment in the hospital.


















We laugh, dance, having a puppet theater, sing and hear the story telling about the book. Ended with press conference and the book launch. Wonderful..
































Minggu lalu ikutan book launchnya Mandy diYayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia bareng temen2 dari Grasindo dan Fira, idenya bagus deh ngadain eventnya disini, jadi disini itu tempat singgah buat anak2 penderita kanker yang lagi dirawat di RSUP, eventnya sendiri beragam, mulai dari sulap, nyanyi, panggung boneka, baca cerita, nari2.. overall , anak2 seneng :). Ujung2nya baru deh ditutup sama launch buku plus press conference, asiik...

All about cat!

It's about cats. I love them since I was little.
Cuddle them, sleep with them and play with them.
But I don't have one right now, maybe later? We'll see .. hope we'll find the right cat on the right time and place :D



















:: A copy of my children book arrived 3 weeks ago, about a cat and his Uncle
I'm glad to see it in a book version, I was worried about the color and printing quality before, but after I look at it again, well it's not that bad, but still it could be better in color and layout, well , welcome to the real world :)

:: A commission work of a cat pose for a baby book, I love working on this piece! Fun, fun, fun...

Welcoming school holiday

Not yet, but we already make a plan, it would be great to have a to do list,
this is ours:
1. Making a octagon shape ball, from a triangle shape origami. I'll post it as soon as we succeed making it.
2. Teaching Mika to play 'Dampu'
3. Make a terrarium
4. Go to the planetarium, wish us luck, last time we didn't make it, it's full of people and the ticket was sold out! *_*

there.. 4 plan to go, more to think about..

:: Lily the dolly, she's our favorite right now.. :)


















more fabric for her clothes and box for her bed, beautiful Lily.. :)

















:: Sunface Pizza, easy to make, yet delicious, and price-friendly heehe..

IF- craving

She really loves this one.. :)

Almost miss IF this time, hope this one suit the topic.

I'm still working from this one, it's a simple book about Indonesian Batik, I really love the topic, hopefully from this book we could share the education about Batik to the children.

IF- Adapt ( and the next children book project )

A friendship story between an American- Indonesian girl with a local girl. Children really know how to adapt ... :)
