3 Days in Pulau Macan

3 Days in Pulau Macan - Part 2

This post is continuing from Part 1

At 9 am on the second day, they took us on a snorkelling trip. Of course, all three of us came on board. Miss Kiki's snorkel goggles didn't fit her well so we decided to take her regular swimming goggles instead. We hopped on a traditional boat and slowly went to the snorkelling spot. DH couldn't wait to get into the water so I told him to go ahead. Miss Kiki was still unsure about whether she was brave enough to go into the water or not, but with some convincing she went. Unfortunately DH already took off with the camera so we did not have a picture of her in the water. She dipped her face in and was super excited to see the fishes and blue starfish. Then she started to use me as a seahorse to pull her around to the places she wanted to see. On this trip DH spotted a cuttlefish. You can see the picture somewhere below.

After the snorkelling trip, we came back to the island. DH decided that he wanted to try the balancing board to get across to Pulau Macan Kecil. So Miss Kiki and I went on a row boat and one of the staff rowed us there. Phew!

After spending some time in Pulau Macan kecil, DH took Miss Kiki back to the bigger island on his balancing board. Check out Miss Kiki showing off on the board...

As for myself, originally I had planned to walk back to the bigger island, cause one can, but I chickened out a quarter of the way and turned around. I took the same row boat back with a group of people.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,, Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...
