Miss Kiki's Science Fair 2015

Today Miss Kiki had a Science Fair at her school and the parents were invited to come and see their science presentation. Her class theme was the rainforest, and they learnt about plants like Orchids, Bromelia, Heliconia, and more. We have some Heliconias at home, so I cut a couple of stems to help the class decorate their room. The children and teachers had been working on this project for a while, and Miss Kiki was very excited about it. "Come as early as you can, Mom." She told me yesterday.

The parents were invited from 8:30 am to 9:30 am. For whatever reason (I'm not really sure myself... sigh...), including traffic and lack of parking space, DH and I arrived 10 minutes late and missed her individual presentation. Miss Kiki was incredibly upset and I could see that she was holding back her tears when she saw me. Oh I just felt like the worst mother in the world!!!

Fortunately one of the other moms there quickly realized that I wasn't there during Miss Kiki's presentation and she caught some of it on her camera. I am so grateful for that!

Even though the invitation was supposed to be for 1 hour, they were actually done within half an hour. I can only imagine her disappointment! *sniff*

We got there just in time for individual pictures with the parents and their 5-day old plant. Thank God! Imagine if we had missed that too!

Being the good girl she was, after school hours I asked her if she would re-do the presentation for me and she did it wonderfully. :) Here are some pictures and videos from the actual presentation and from the after school presentation.

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. ...
