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...

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. ...
