sleepy head

Playing some snow today.. I made a big hairy snow mountain with a tunnel.









And this is what happen when I'm tired and sleepy...

cincy trip

This morning, Daddy, Mommy and I went to Cincinnati along with Djumins family (Akin, Gun, Matt and Titi), Bebe, om Hendy, om Acong, tante Anggi and tante Johana. It was less than 2 hours drive with an early lunch at Mc.Donald's before we're heading to the Cincinnati Museum Center.

It was a beautiful cold sunny day to start with, but ended with heavy snow showers in the afternoon, but it is still a perfect day.

There are 4 museums inside, The Duke Energy Children's Museum (where I spent most of my time there), the History Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Omnimax Theatre.

Here are some pictures from many activities I had there.

For more complete pictures checkout Daddy's picasa :)

aku anak indonesia

Eventhough i like pizza, spaghetti, ham & cheese sandwich, i still like mie goreng, homemade soup, and indomie for sure, but Mommy always make an addition to my indomie with egg, sausage/ham, and veggie like spinach/broccoli.

Other indonesian things i like is the batik and all the traditional outfits, from Java, Bali, etc. I love wearing them all :) I even wear my batik on school picture.

I joined a fashion show in Indonesian Night with Mommy last year, eventhough I wasn't really walk.. I asked Mommy to hold me :)

Most of my outfits are from Indonesia, from grandma An, oma Susanti, auntie Olip and tante Meme.

a fun winter weekend

saturday, december 19th 2009


We usually wake up late on Saturdays, but not that day. We get dressed and left home at 9am. Daddy, om Hendy and om Ariel were in a pursuit of dim sum that morning and they were bummed since no chinese restaurant open before 11am. Originally they excitedly and purposedly went to Sun Flower (noticed how many times I mentioned 'Sun Flower' later on), then Lee Garden, and tried to call some other restaurants with no hope. So we decided to go to First Watch at Worthington Square Mall as tante Gun suggested. I had a lot of fun there with Matthew. While we're waiting for our table, we played around the big Christmas tree and took some pictures with the soldier.

From there we headed to Polaris Mall to play at the zoo play area, and then we were trying to get a picture with Santa, but was not succesfull. Titi and I were sitting nicely on Santa's lap, but Matthew refuse to get near him, so I moved to sit on a reindeer and Matt was put down on Santa's lap which was not a good idea. He started to cry and Titi confused and cried too. But it was okay with me, I don't care about the picture. I got a lollipop.

That day was snowing for the first time in December with a significant amount of snow to play with, and a perfect snow condition to make a snowman.

That afternoon, Mommy and I decided to make a firefighter instead of a regular snowman, since we don't have the usual decoration for a snowman. So there it was.. a mini snow-firefighter with a goggle on :) The red circle and the pink chalk were the buttons, with a baby carrot for the nose.





Then I played snow throwing with Daddy and Mommy until I cried 2 times when the snow balls hit my face or get into my back. I don't like the cold feeling of snow/ice landed on my skin.

It was a short fun time that afternoon, then I enjoyed some oranges inside while watching food network challenge of christmas tree edible decoration.

In the evening, we had MG at home as usual. Matt and I played in the basement with Daddy. After that we went to Sun Flower restaurant to have dinner and ice cream treat at Jeni's Dublin for dessert. Yumm...

sunday, december 20th

In the morning I went to Xenos as usual with Mommy and Bebe, enjoyed a donut and had a dim-sum at Sun Flower restaurant for lunch. Took a short nap, then in the afternoon we went to Walmart to get some oranges... again. (The clementines are in season now) with Daddy, Mommy and Bebe.

Next, we were heading to downtown to see some christmas lights display at State Auto park. It was very nice. There are some statue figures of Christmas story with pretty lights decoration. The three wise men, the shepherd and the sheep, King Herod, Mary and Gabriel, and the manger with baby Jesus in it.

And then, for dinner, we're going to Dirty Frank's. Daddy and Mommy's favorite hotdogs restaurant. I ordered the Classy Lady, a hotdog topped with cheddar cheese sauce and crushed chips.. with a lot of ketchup ofcourse! I ate half of the dog and tried some of the tatter tots.

With the stomach full, we drove back up to OSU Ice Ring. This was my second time learning to skate. Andrew was there and Matthew came later. I really enjoyed skating with Andrew. I think I was encouraged to skate because of Andrew's courage and persistency. With the help of Weo and om Hendy, I can make a full round. Then Daddy came to join me to skate and made another round.

Mommy told me if I really want to skate I have to persistently come and learn. Maybe Weo can be my personal trainer :) Daddy promised me to get the skate if I can skate without assistance :)

There's one more place I went a week after this, to see some beautiful lights at Pickerington. It was pretty far, about 30min drive, but it was so cool! We sat inside the car, listening to 93.9, and saw the beautiful lights blinking with the same rythm with the music. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/user/4870arthurpl#p/a/f/0/26Mz9qMtUJc

fourth birthday

december 10th 2009... my 4th birthday.


This year we don't have a party, but we still celebrating it in a simple way. Mommy keeps reminding me that birthday is about giving thanks to God and share it with friends, because I keep thinking about the presents :)
Early in the morning, Daddy and Mommy woke me up at 6.30am, and told me to open up some presents. First, I opened the gift from tante Stella. It was a Nutcracker wood toy and a Christmas story book. Then a painting kit and digital painting system from Matthew and Michael. A doctor's kit from Andrew, and I a quitetime book and leapfrog tag system from Meme, tante Ria, Dudud, om Hendy. I also got a color copier from cici Nicole. A first act discovery guitar from grandma & grandpa. From Mommy and Daddy, except lots of love, I got some Legos :)
That's plenty of gifts I have and I need to learn to give thanks and share it with my friends.

I also had a great time at school celebrating my birthday. Mommy & I baked some red velvet cupcakes the night before. I help to put the liners on the pan and tante Rio helped pouring the cake mix into the pan. All my friends were excited knowing it was my birthday and enjoyed the cake. It should be a pirate cake, with some pirate things candles, but Mommy forgot to bring the lighter, so no blowing candles at the school. All my friends sang happy birthday to me. The story time was very special too, it's about the birth of Jesus who was born in a manger without any luxury and fancy things I have now. How blessed I am for having any kind of things and especially having a loving family and friends.
When dismissal, Mommy helped giving out the goodie bags to my friends. Lots of nice little things inside. From KitKat, mini juice, fruitsnacks, a set of little toys (MacQueen for the boys and Princesses/TinkerBell for the girls), gold coin and a pirate tatoo sticker.

The evening I went to Pacemont with Daddy and Mommy for Richard and tante Rina farewell party. It was sad but joyful to see them going back for good and don't know when I can meet them again in the future. I sure will miss them.
I got to play all night long and watching Barney and Friends with Andrew and Matthew. We played at Meme and Sisi's room. Tante Ria baked a cake also and Mommy & Sisi put some creamcheese frosting and sprinkle, then put all the 6 pirate candles on top of it with the '4' candle also. Then everyone sang happy birthday to me and we all blow the candles with my best friends.

I love being 4!
