Babies and Car Keys

People say that keys are one of the best toys for babies. They make noises, they see mom and dad using them all the time, and a lot of them are attached to a remote with buttons to press! I usually let my little Kiki-chan play with the car keys, despite that I think it's one of the most contaminated item in our household. She loves it, and we can always wash her hands after. Many times she locks and unlocks our car while we're in a restaurant, shopping, or just out somewhere. Never did I realize how handy that skill could be.... until today.

I was just about to pull out from a parking spot at a bubble tea place when I noticed a family of three, a dad, a toddler boy, and a 1.5 year old girl. They were getting into their car and since the girl still had to be 'packed in', the boy was left outside the car. When the dad went around to let the boy in the car, I saw a horrified look on his face. He had locked them out of the car, with the baby girl inside!

I stopped to see if he needed any help, and having locked his cellphone in with his keys, he wanted to borrow mine. So he made phone calls and getting really worried that his little girl might start crying in the car. 'Help' usually don't arrive right away, it can take up to a half hour. That would seem like forever when you have a little one in there! Well apparently my Kiki-chan was not the only baby who likes to press buttons on keys. As I saw her playing with the keys I excitedly pointed out to the poor dad that she might just unlock the car, which she did!

From now on, I will make sure that Kiki-chan gets a lot of 'practice' time with our keys!

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...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
