A Week in Manado - Part 5

We took it easy on the 5th day. Started the day later, and without any big trips anywhere. Check out this blue sky that greeted us in the morning. For anyone outside Jakarta this may not be anything special, but for us, this is a huge treat compared to Jakarta smog.


For breakfast we went to none other than Rumah Kopi Billy for coffee, eggs, and toast. This time my mom's older sister and her eldest daughter and grandson came too. It was a big group! We talked about travelling somewhere together sometime this year or next. That should be a hoot!











At this point the kids got a hold of my Ricoh and went to town with it. You can tell by the faces everyone was making.








From there we drove to Manado Town Square. DH and I took the opportunity to take pictures on the parking lot. Check it out...



Photos taken by my cousin, my only male cousin from my mom's side actually. He didn't want a picture of him there because he sees it everyday he said. Hah! :P

Unable to decide what to do afterwards, we went and sat at Excelso.




For lunch we went to the Food Village at ManToS. 








Then we walked around the mall a bit while DH ventured out to see the surrounding area. He made a stop at Flinders Ln Cafe.






Tuna House was what we had for dinner. Their specialty was Tuna steak. They have the 30 thousand Rupiah set and 40 thousand Rupiah set. Very good Tuna and very good value! The set comes with Tuna of course, rice, sauce, and veggies. If you don't want rice, you can substitute it with boiled cassava.







Yum yum.......

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!šŸ˜Š 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. ...
