Summer in North America 2018 Part 13 - Lemonade, Food, and Ladner Boat Launch

On our third morning in BC, my sister had booked a photo session for Miss Kiki and her cousin at a local photographer's studio. She chose the Lemonade theme and the pictures turned out really well! Here are the chosen pictures...









After the quick photo session, they came back home and we all went to have brunch at Bubble Waffle Cafe. They have noodle soups and dumplings in their menu, and with meal purchase you are allowed to order a bubble waffle (kaitancai) for only CAD 1.00!

After our meal we walked over to Save of Foods, the same chain supermarket as the one in Winnipeg that was very impressive. Although now in BC it doesn't look as impressive anymore... Lol!



We all went home afterwards and I spent the afternoon at Tsawwassen Mills Outlet Mall with Miss Kiki. That was one of the rare times she had fun shopping, she even exclaimed that she didn't know shopping could be that much fun! :D





Meanwhile, my sister stayed at home to make us dinner. We had prime rib that she cooked herself. Now that's a rare occasion! I came home to an almost ready dinner and it was yummy!








We finished dinner at around 8:30 pm and Miss Kiki asked me to take her to a wildlife reserve area nearby. She got excited from hearing the word 'wildlife' and wanted to see for herself. I wasn't keen on going myself but I thought it would be a good experience for her. So we went... only to find that the area was already closed for the evening. We stepped a little inside and walked right back out. Of course, Miss Kiki was disappointed but instead, we walked over to Ladner Boat Launch right beside it and took sunset pictures instead. It was a beautiful sunset! I also let Miss Kiki take over the Olympus for a bit for practice. After sunset we went back home and stayed in for the rest of the night.












The next day was our first weekend in BC (this trip)! My brother-in-law is off work and we all went out for dimsum at Tin Tin Seafood Harbour. The deal there was: if you pay your bill before 11 am, you get 20% off your total bill! That day, my sister made reservations for 10:30 am but we left the house late. In the end, we didn't get the discount but the food was worth it anyway!

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  ...
