Motykas in Asia Part 15 - Jakarta

On the second morning of 2019, we took a taxi from our hotel in Shanghai to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. We flew with Cathay Dragon to Hongkong first, and then with Cathay Pacific from Hongkong to Jakarta.







In Jakarta, we went out to eat at Paradise Dynasty. This restaurant was the very first place we took the Motykas to eat on their very first visit to Jakarta and it has become a ritual for every visit since.



We also took them to our favourite Italian restaurant, Basilico in Gandaria City.















That weekend, one of DH's coworkers had a wedding reception. We went and took the Motykas with us to get the Indonesian wedding experience. 






On Sunday afternoon, we went for afternoon tea on the 52nd floor of Westin Hotel.  The food presentation that time wasn't as fancy as it was when we went there the year before, but the food still tasted pretty good. We spent the afternoon there...



















































We didn't do any touristy stuff in Jakarta this time around, because it was 'been there, done that' for them here :D Relaxing at home and stuffing ourselves in between was also good. Lol...  

This was the end of the holiday for DH and Miss Kiki, as they had to go back to work and school respectively. The Motykas then continued their fun to Bali. A winter getaway has to include the beach afterall...

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!šŸ˜Š 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...

Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
