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...

  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!

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: ...
