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...

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...

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. ...
