Birthday Playdate

This year we wanted to celebrate Miss Kiki's birthday a little bit more special than the last few years. She hasn't had a party with outside school since her third birthday. Instead of hosting another party, this year we opted for a simple playdate at home.

As a cake alternative, I ordered these yummy macarons from Liel Patissier. The macaron stack used 2 dozens of assorted macarons and she was so nice to print me the banner to go with them.

For lunch I ordered the usual Nasi Tumpeng from Regina's Bakery. We regularly order from them for events and this time my friend there gave the whole tray as a present for Miss Kiki. How nice! Thank you so much for your generosity!!

Nasi Tumpeng from Regina's Bakery

So I had about a dozen girls playing in the house, and it seemed like they all had a good time. It took some time for them to warm up to a new place and new friends (this is a mix of friends from the different classes and schools), and it was raining in the morning.

When Miss Kiki found out that I had ordered Nasi Tumpeng for her playdate, she requested pasta to serve to her friends. So I made spaghetti bolognese for the kids and it was a hit! Miss Kiki was spot on after all.

The rain finally stopped so after lunch the kids were able to go in the trampoline.

We also had Ice Jelly drink from Kayu Manis, courtesy of my friend V. Thanks a lot, dear!

Then we made a volcano.....

And we blew bubbles...

Then another friend came....

And more friends came!

I forgot to take a picture of the heart shaped macarons I ordered for the kids to take home... they are from Dulce Bene and are also yummy. Well, I managed to take a picture of the only two left....

And here is the picture of more wrist wallets!

My back was sore for a few days afterwards, but overall it was great!

Thank you all who came and made Miss Kiki's day extra special!

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 ...
