Miss Kiki Turned 8

It was not too long ago that I posted about Miss Kiki's 7th birthday celebration. I felt like I blinked and the 8th birthday passed! This year I told her that we would only celebrate at school and wouldn't be doing any parties outside school.

For this year's goody bags, Miss Kiki decided that she wanted to share books with her friends. She wanted to write it herself, so she started writing a few months prior. After several re-writes, she typed it up on the laptop and got working on the illustrations. Every time she had drawing lesson, she did a picture for her book. All I did for her were scanning, putting the pictures and story together, and then got them printed and bound.


The theme for her birthday this year was Kiki's Delivery Service. We wrapped the books in black tissue paper, tied red ribbons on them, and Miss Kiki drew cat eyes on each package. They represent Jiji and Kiki's ribbon. She worked really hard for them and we had a lot of fun working together.




For the school celebration, I ordered a Kiki's Delivery Service themed cake from Le Soho Cupcake as I did every year before. I was fortunate enough to have a friend that happened to be in Japan when she decided on a theme so I asked them to get us some small models. Thanks so much A and C! You really made her day. Having had the toy models, I simply ordered a bakery themed cake and it turned out wonderful! They even made Kiki a fondant broom to match. I also love the details of the window view they made. 










Well the cake didn't survive the little hands... Before I knew it the roof was already off. I tried my best to put it back on but well, I'm not a cake master. Oh well...







For lunch we treated the class with a mini bento from Mori Express. I custom ordered it to be Kiki's Delivery Service themed as well.








Oma also came to celebrate but she came a little too late. Too bad. After school we went to Gandaria City because Opa also wanted to celebrate with her.


For dinner celebration, Miss Kiki requested Pizza Express so we went to Senayan City. I ordered a small Classic Chocolate Cake from Betterchocolatethannever in Senopati. I moved the toys and broom from one cake to the other :D.


Tante F gave her a Magic and Science kit and it entertained her for many hours... :D








And... more pictures of the torn down cake...



Once again, Happy 8th, Kiki! We love you to the moon and back. XOXO

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  ...
