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...

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
