United Nations Day 2014

The United Nations Day is observed on October 24th each year. This marks the anniversary of the Charter of The United Nations.

According to the article in Wikipedia, International schools around the world celebrate this day every year though not necessarily right on the date.

Miss Kiki's school celebrated it today. The kids were all dressed up in costumes from all around Indonesia and the world. Last week I had suggested to Miss Kiki that she could wear her new Winnipeg Jets T-Shirt and jeans with her new Canada Olympic Hoodie and represent Canada. She reluctantly agreed, but was very relieved that I offered to rent her an Indonesian costume instead.

On Sunday we went to a rental company called UD Sinar Jaya in West Jakarta and I told her she could pick any one she wanted. Then she chose the sparkliest, brightest costume there was: The Balinese costume.

So today we got ready and I took her to school in full costume. When we got to school, the parking was already difficult so we had to park a bit far from the gate. We walked from the car and she already put smiles on faces of everyone on the streets. The drivers, motorcycle riders, pedestrians, and more. She was quite pleased about it. Lol

We had a class picture taken....

Then they lined up to do a costume show...

Here is her introduction...

Then they sang....

And they danced...

Then we took a bit more pictures....

Then we went outside where they already have an array of food, prepared by the parents and students from their home country. We had meatball and bakwan, pecel tray, noodles, eggtarts, sushi, pretzel, lasagna, spaghetti, onigiri, karaage, mochi, and many more. Miss Kiki and I made maple cookies, using pure Canadian Maple Syrup. She was very happy with them.

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...

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. ...

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...
