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 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...

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...
