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

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  an
