Miss Kiki Turned 9!


It's January 2018 and I just caught up with writing my September travel posts. I'm so behind schedule! Not that I have a real planned schedule anyway... Heheh..

 Back in November, Miss Kiki turned 9! Where have the time gone... 

 In this post about her last single digit birthday, I took the time to gather the links to her previous birthdays to date. This blog actually started when she was 4 so I plan to post pictures from her first three birthdays later on and update this post. 

 Without further ado, here's the roundup!





















Unlike her previous birthdays, for her 9th birthday she didn't want any specific theme for her cake nor for her celebration. What she requested was a mama-made cake, no matter the shape. When your close-to-perfect, sweet, only child with little demands asks you to bake her a birthday cake; you make that cake! She was super excited about it that she bragged about mama making her a cake for her birthday. The pressure was real!



I called out to my sister in Vancouver, the lady behind Chicka Bites for help. She gave me instructions and I jumped into the kitchen. We did a test cake before her birthday, and I baked another cake for her birthday celebration at school, which was held a week later due to school exams. She had a nice surprise on that day, Oma was supposed to have work but it was cancelled at the last moment so she made it to school to celebrate! The cake was a hit in class, many of them told me that the cake was really good. Sweet kids, I tell ya! :D 

On her actual birthday that was a Saturday, we went out for brunch at Paradise Dynasty. It was a small celebration just with family. I had had my wisdom tooth removed two days prior, so I was suffering a bit. We had a small cake that my sister bought at Haagen Dazs. After brunch Miss Kiki went for a movie with my sister and stayed out with Oma and Opa until after dinner while I recuperate at home. She said she had fun anyway! :)

We did something special together though. As part of the celebration, we did a photoshoot together with Marina from Azoffoto. Marina is a very talented photographer. Very pleasant to work with, and she always make us look so beautiful!


Here are some pictures from the brunch and the school celebration...

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...

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. ...

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
