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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

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 ...
