Godong Ijo Field Trip

Godong Ijo Field Trip - Part 1

Miss Kiki had a field trip with her school today and I decided to take her there myself after considering the traffic situation in Jakarta lately. It took us almost an hour to get to Godong Ijo without heavy traffic, and we arrived at the same time as the school bus. Good timing!

The kids were divided into groups of 12 or so, and each group were guided by one of the Godong Ijo staff. Miss Kiki's group had 13 kids and 3 school staff, plus me, my mom, and another mom and a nanny.

Our group first went to the reptile section. Here we were introduced to several different reptiles, many of those I personally dislike (I mean..... eeeewh!) but the kids seemed to have had a lot of fun. They were doing the introduction in Indonesian, so I don't think Miss Kiki quite understood what they were saying...

First up was this alligator-like lizard. Miss Kiki was the first kid who wanted to hold it. She said it was soft...

Then, it was this fat-tailed guy here.. Apparently the tail is used to store food and water.

Brave oma :)

Next... Blue Tongued Lizard.

Followed by this lizard that opens up like a shield when scared, and a cute little hedgehog...

And a little green non-poisonous frog that can turn brown when under stress...

Next was a large Iguana, though some may argue that this is a medium sized one...

This Pandan Civet was part of the educational introduction but nobody was allowed to pet the carnivore...

Salalayar is what we call this reptile, because of the sail (layar) shaped tail...

And finally, Miss Kiki's favourite part of the day..... a mini python for a necklace

Then last and most certainly not the least.... the Albino Python

To be continued....

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...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung. We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...

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. ...
