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...

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 ...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
