Birthday Playdate

This year we wanted to celebrate Miss Kiki's birthday a little bit more special than the last few years. She hasn't had a party with outside school since her third birthday. Instead of hosting another party, this year we opted for a simple playdate at home.

As a cake alternative, I ordered these yummy macarons from Liel Patissier. The macaron stack used 2 dozens of assorted macarons and she was so nice to print me the banner to go with them.

For lunch I ordered the usual Nasi Tumpeng from Regina's Bakery. We regularly order from them for events and this time my friend there gave the whole tray as a present for Miss Kiki. How nice! Thank you so much for your generosity!!

So I had about a dozen girls playing in the house, and it seemed like they all had a good time. It took some time for them to warm up to a new place and new friends (this is a mix of friends from the different classes and schools), and it was raining in the morning.












When Miss Kiki found out that I had ordered Nasi Tumpeng for her playdate, she requested pasta to serve to her friends. So I made spaghetti bolognese for the kids and it was a hit! Miss Kiki was spot on after all.










The rain finally stopped so after lunch the kids were able to go in the trampoline.


We also had Ice Jelly drink from Kayu Manis, courtesy of my friend V. Thanks a lot, dear!


















Then we made a volcano.....










And we blew bubbles...








Then another friend came....


And more friends came!





I forgot to take a picture of the heart shaped macarons I ordered for the kids to take home... they are from Dulce Bene and are also yummy. Well, I managed to take a picture of the only two left....


And here is the picture of more wrist wallets!


My back was sore for a few days afterwards, but overall it was great! 

Thank you all who came and made Miss Kiki's day extra special!

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

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 2 - Leisure Day Trip

I booked a leisure day trip for our second day in Labuan Bajo via Traveloka . When I say leisure, I meant a non-diving trip. We have a live onboard trip booked for the 3rd to the 5th day but that one is a diving trip covering different places and adventures so we tried to cram the other must-visits of Komodo National Park in one day. For breakfast that morning, we had breakfast boxes that the resort had prepared for us by order. The tour was operated by East Cruise Komodo and it was an open trip consisting of thirty-something people. East Cruise Komodo picked us up at Sudamala Resort where we stayed at 5:30 am and brought us to the harbour. The re-registration process at the harbour took about half an hour and after we were assigned a boat, we boarded. On the boat, our tour leader collected what was supposed to be the entrance fee for the National Komodo Park. It was IDR 150k per person for locals and IDR 300k per person for foreigners. We never saw the tickets but later on, we foun
