haircut
haircut was such an annoying moment for most of kids, including my Joice. She hates having a haircut, so one day we decided to face the 'nightmare' by taking her to the kids saloon, the saloon understand and provide things to overcome those cranky children who hate to have a haircut ha ha! anyways, she also refused to sit on a car chair by herself so her dad put her on his lap and he was also covered with cloth hahahaha it looked like father was also had his hair cut. then i asked the person to turned on the hello kitty dvd, she sat nicely and even had a hair blow wow! it worked.....
before, i took her to a regular saloon, and it was kind of embarrassing. Joice would cry very loud and she ended up throwing up at the cloth, and everybody in saloon would stare at us. i didn't care of those eyes though, i just thought this shouldn't be like this, haircut should be fun, right???? having someone taking care of our hair while we are relaxing. anyway, i post this picture so we are all can remember the first time of haircut time without any trouble...heheheheheh good job, joice! she got a cup of baskin robbins afterward :))))
and look....who is enjoying the toy car ride so much....

just a thought
everybody struggle with her/his health condition, either sometimes we catch a cold or we ill and cared in hospital. whatever condition that we have, we need to be grateful to God. He knows what is best for us. i trust God fully and always give thanks for his caring and love to my family.
mu uncle Johan is very close to us, to me in particular, i knew and closed to him since I was very little. he used to come to my house and spent time with me and my brother. He is loved by every nephews and nieces. since he is the youngest uncle in my mom's side, he is always young and like to tease us all.
in 2004, he got nasopharinx cancer. we were all so shocked, and all we thought was nothing, we never had anyone in our family who got cancer. it was a new thing for us to face and cope. it wasn't easy of course and we had nothing to expect except getting help as much as we could and treated well.
after chemo and radiation, he was well treated and being "cured" for a while. he ate much and kept his lifestyle healthy. but God has other thing, his cancer came back now at 2011, after 7 good years. his son is in college now, daughter is in high school. everybody could accept it with greater heart and ready response. he had to undergo another series of chemo and radiation. doctor is not responding very well this time. another chance is having treatment and checking at singapore. his ENT doctor suggested that.
so here I am searching all over friends, relatives, and internet, to find good doctor. i have hope. a BIG hope should i say, he is only 53 and I believe, if we try more maybe God also has plan to him.
whatever happen now and then, i really believe that God put his hands to my uncle. he has a good plan for him and his family, so what we do now, is supporting him in all times and be encourager for him.
God, I know that once again you know whats best for him. Please be with him through all this hard condition, and may your name be glorified after all.

Joice is in N2
Joice is going up the ladder, she is in nursery 2 now. new class, new teachers, buat same old friends from nursery 1. she has learnt many things from n1 and now ready to grasp more knowledge in n2. I can't imagine that my little baby girl now already in school and she's so independent that i even forgot how did she behave when she was a baby ha ha.
we wish that you don't only gain more knowledge of lessons but also about God, Joice...
Her time in school will be much longer and i have more time for myself in the morning, either with Moses, or being online in starbucks. anywhere I am, i can't wait to pick her up again from school. whenever she's in school, I miss her much, and can't wait to bring her home. even I realize that one day her school hours will be longer and longer, so I just can only see her at afternoon....
I'm thinking much about going back to work, but when I see my children, I don't have any guts (should I say) to go out and leave them with my mom...I'm too afraid of loosing my time with them and I love them even more day by day..so children, mama will always stay next to you until all of you go to school until 2pm everyday he he...

an experience
last night something happened...I would blame myself if something happened to my family *sigh
kita berempat (me, my mom, and my children) ke mall emporium at 5. rencananya cuman mau makan lalu liat barang, buku, jam 7 pulang. biasanya kemanapun pergi, kita selalu bbm ke papa Calvin utk info dimana dan kemana. that night i thought its only short trip tmall. waktu masuk mall, I had weid feeling that hard to describe then i forgot to bbm finally. kita makan di dominos pizza then jalan ke arah sogo. waktu jam 7, its time to go homem kita turun dgn lift, and i need to buy softlens. masuklah ke optik melawai. baru pegang softlens, semua orang lari-lari dari arah carrefour ke atas , karena kita bawa anak-anak, kita cukup panik, mama langsung tanya ada apa. semua bilang ada kebakaran, langsung deh kita ikut arah evakuasi ke luar dari j.co, dan nyebrang, tunggu di depan indomaret. kita putuskan naik taxi aja pulang, karena area kita parkir adalah area kebakaran berlangsung. cuman kepikiran, jangan-jangan orang-orang yang overreacting nih, then i go inside. baru sampai eskalator mau ke carrefour, semua orang jalan balik lagi. katanya di bawah penuh asap, jangan turun, nanti pingsan hahahah ada 1 cewe yang nekat lari turun ke bawah, mau nyelamatin mobil critanya, wow. lalu pas mau jalan balik, I called calvin, where are you! di basement carrefour,lagi kebakaran. whaatttt??? kebetulan bgt. dgn takut diomelin, i said, iya, kita di empo juga (dgn nada lemes, krn tau akan ditriakin, diomelin ntr). dimana kalian? di luar, di indomaret, luar gedung. Calvin was planning to leave the car too actually. karena kita di luar, dia jalan balik lagi ke dalam dan ambil mobil dia, supaya dia keluar, kita bawa mobil dia pulang and he would go back and took our car.
setelah mobil dia keluar, kita langsung headed home. jalanan macettt banget, but we could reach home safely. calvin went inside basement, looked for our car, the smoke was geeting thicker, he could see nothing but smoke. dia pencet alarm terus menerus utk cari mobil. akhirnya dpt diantara kebulan asap. yup. I parked very near to fire location. good widya.......
with God's help, we are all saved. i was thinking, actually the time was just perfect. sebenarnya jam 6.30, kita udah mau turun, ke carrefour, beli biskuit anak dan pulang sekalian. tapi joice masih mau maen di sogo, jadi kita turun telat, dan beli softlens, kalo ga kita jg pasti udah masuk dlm kerumunan yg lari-lari, atau kita pas lg di basement di mobil. wow..God, you are so kind, now I really can see that in every condition, you are there, always there, and if something happened, its all in your plan. You are the one who manage all things and we have nothing but to believe you only as our Savior and God.
I couldn't imagine if something happen with my family last night. maybe going to mall for now is just sooo traumatic for me now. especially because i have two small children who need to be carried. calvin was thinking that we were at home, and that thing was happened last night, not the other night, we just went there on the other night, and I don't know now why I went there last night. I shouldn't go anywhere now without my husband, specially mall. something happen, I can't rescue my children safely, they are still too small. Joice didn't understand what happen at all last night, she asked me about going to empo again....ooo my child....but she saw some fire engines :) its quite an experience for her anyway.............

sitting up by himself
We are talking about little moses here.....yet he's not that little actually ha ha...anyway, Moses has trouble to sit without any support AND by himself, without anyone's help to prop him to sit down.
4 days ago....he finally managed to sit up straight by himself...it was 9,5 months old on that time. He actually learns so hard to crawl by using his knees,and somehow, he found out,if he bends his knee and do a little bit push up with his hands, he could sit up from tummy on floor position...its kind of complicated for him, for joice, she would sit up by herself since she could roll two-sides, so before she's started to crawl. For moses,it was the other way around. He knew how to crawl using his tummy or whatever his style :) then he sits.
Its true that every child is different. Every baby is special..and to experience and witness every first timer of my children were just a rare opportunity and a previledge ... Since I'm not working, I witness and see by myself how they grow up...thank you God,once again, for this beautiful chance and time where I could spend and cherish every moment with my family :)

byebye diapers....!
Joice just said goodbye to diapers yesterday...I always don't feel comfortable about public toilet,its far and dirty,so I still let joice to wear her diaper pull up pants when we go out.
Yesterday, she asked to go to restrooom, took of her diapers and pee. And she said she didn't want to pee on diapers anymore...yeeyyy!!! Finally :)
I've been waiting for this moment where she can be independent and off from her diapers. She would have regular time to pee, not every time or uncontrolable, and she knows how to squat on those public toilet seats...
She's 2,5 years old now and has officialy graduated from daytime toilet training :)
What about night time,joice?? Hm...I,myself,has not ready to wake up more frequently than now ha ha...I still have broken nights because of nursing time...so,Joice,let the nature takes her part again for next step...I believe every child has her own developmental stage...so she would grow up and be more mature in each step of her age.
Congratulations Joice!!! We are so proud of you...!!

moses' first word
Nobody realized it..it happened just in sudden and didn't even noticed...first,he started to mmmmeeeemmmmeeemmm...then it sounded like emmmmaaaa,,,emmmmaaaaa then about three days ago,he pronounced it clearly: mama...mama...he opened her mouth and started to say it!!! Happy mamaa...so now...everytime he cries or asks for help,he would say mama..mama...
Aaaand,just started last night,in the middle of the night,he would cried if he awaked in the middle of night and milk time, I came to his crib and said ssshhh,and he would just call: mama..
Finally,first word has come out,and to be honest,I don't expect this early. He is only almost 9 months next week, barely can sit by himself,even though he can sit well when you prop him to sit up straight.
I can't wait to hear your second word,moses :) maybe cece...or ..papa...or pho pho...or maybe mam mam... :)

patience is really needed
Somehow someway I try managing my emotional balance. Tapi susaaahhh hikshiks sometimes I'm too emotional toward small things..
Reaksi setiap orang pasti berbeda terhadap suatu hal, for me, I really need extra patience and wisdom day by day..ada hari2 tertentu,yang secara fisik,I can't take it anymore,tapi ada juga secara mental terkikis habis oleh Joice...semakin besart,Joice semakin mengerti banyak hal, rasa ingin tau nya besar banget dan kalau belum dijajal sama dia,pasti dia ga akan berhenti mencoba...istilahnya keep on trying he he,maju terus pantang mundur. Joice cukup oke di handle secara fisik, tapi to tell her to do something...hmmmm..lately I feel like talking to the hand,alias ngomong sampe ngeces,juga ga ditanggepin. Lho gmn ga urat bekerjaa secara kuat?? Yes, she challenges my patience even more. On the other hand,moses challenges me physically. Teething dan cold and flu membuat tidur malam seperti pos jaga malam. Bangun setiap 2-3 jam,menyiksa?? Iya,karena siang hari full of activities,malam juga ga nyenyak. Siang hari lbh cepet letih,lelah,lunglai dll,like a zombie,disenggol juga marah...
O God,everyday I pray that you may give me more patience to handle things and to say correct words to others... I feel so powerless without you...my job feels like 24 endless-hours. Even my heart is full of joy,yet boringness and angriness also come sometimes....semoga Tuhan menguatkan kelemahanku ini yang jauh dari sempurna. Dan semoga my kids can obey me more he he...

Congrats yah Moses< welcome to God's family. may grow in His love, grace, and blessings. we love you so much and we pray that God will always guide you in your life and one day you can come to God and trust Him as you personal savior. amiiinnn
new school and new uniform plus new spirit!!
after a long struggling and discussion, we finally came to a decision to transfer Joice to a new school which located about 15-20 mins from home, it is a good school though he he
wisata bogor kampung air
we had a day off on that week. so where we supposed to go..moses was still too little to go far from home hahaha, except malls. so we went to bogor...
there was a new place called kampung air. i thought it was a playground only...but of course its not complete without a restaurant. so there were some playground for kids and also restaurants surround it.
joice was screaming to see the balloon castle, i bought the ticket and just the time we went in, it was raining. we had to step down and took shade under a big umbrella. meanwhile moses enjoyed his favorite biscuit. he he he.....i admit that he is not a fussy baby apparently, he enjoys time whenever he goes.
after the rain, we rent a becak..yeeyy we had new becak driver... i think if the real becak driver has physically body like this, noone would believe. he is too happy to be abang becak and too prosper hahahahaha he is our beloved papa...becoming a becak driver. thank God the becak was strong enough for all of them. i was kind of surprised actually that the person who rented it did not even complain. he was happy to take us a picture ha ha!
rain came again after that so its time for us to go back jakarta, because we were scheduled to have family gathering afterward....byeee becaaaakkk
Joice's Second Birthday!!!!
yeeyyy it was someone's special birthday!!! this post is really late because i need to wait for the pictures uploaded in my laptop.
anyway...4 November 2010
that day we celebrated with Joice's friends at her previous school...in toddler class. there were only 5 of her friends. she was still so shy to blend with them and teachers. but we decided to celebrate it there on that day so she can have friends to laugh and cheer together. Moses didn't come, he was too little for this kind of thing, and somehow he was too cranky to join in things like this. so it was only three of us.
And another celebrations were postponed it Sunday.
so first thing in the morning, Joice will celebrate it with her sunday school friends and teachers. we did not prepare any special cakes, basically Joice and us would stand in front of the class and all friends and teachers would sing and pray, after that we just distributed the goody bags.
after joice and moses had some naps in the car. we went to sizzler taman anggrek to celebrate with my family. kung2, pho2, and uncle thomas had prepared cheesecake which joice loveddd so much. she was so happy and wanted to blow her own candle ha ha ha..but we were all happy to eat our lunch and salad till drop!
it was a great day, joice...we all pray that as you add another year in your life, you will grow more in the knowledge of God and may God bless you dear...love youuuu xoxoxox muahhhh
field trip day
its a bright and sunny day on the field trip day, yesterday was raining so heavy, but thanks God that today is a great day for outing..
joice and her school have prepared this event for about a month ago. so she reallyyyy looks forward for this. she was sick two days before, for having cold. but today i just cant let her stay at home. plus we have paid for all the extra expenses. school charges rp. 125rb for every parent/nanny who come with the bus. and of course we should go by bus to make the trip fun right???
we reached ancol around 9 am and go straight to aneka satwa show. joice was reluctant to see the show actually, but i encourage her that nothing would be happen. its just otter, bear, hippo, and all other kind animals.
so we watched the whole show happily. i put joice to sit on my lap because she cant see clearly if she sits on her bench.
afterward, we were scheduled to see dolphin, however it wasn't ready or something so we were directed to watch 4D, which was a bad idea. some of the children were scared. the place was also not very clean i think. so again joice sat on my lap and halfway we went out. it was not fun and a bit scary for two years old child. outside, some children have been out way before we went out ha ha ha! so the next show should be dolphin. but i regretted the way they schedule the time, because the dolphin show has started and we were late. so we didn't get the seats anymore. joice also didn;t want to watch it anymore, since it was too crowded. so pity of all children. the main reason to go there is to see dolphins but now we cant even get in the arena.
fortunately, there was a small pool near there which they put two dolphins there to rest. so we were all climbing next to the fence and i let joice saw the dolphins as long as she wanted. she's quite happy though even we can just only see the dolphins were swimming, not doing any attractions or jumpings. they were calm and swam around the small pool.
yeahhh overall, joice enjoyed the milk which i bought from moo moo than the dolphin show*sighhhh...what a day!
we felt sooo tired and went home after that, we did not join the bus anymore because the way to our home is nearer than went back to school again..
so adios dolphins...we will go and watch for the real show some other time in the future....

dreaming of creating my own school
I always want to start a school...punya sekolah sendiri,bukan berarti utk memenuhi egoisme diri,atau pun kepuasan semata,tp kalo ditelusuri,berupa beban hidup dan keinginan utk membentuk suatu tempat di mana anak2 bs bertumbuh,belajar,dan juga bersenang-senang..
Apa yah artinya belajar namun penuh dengan siksaan diri?? Hahahaha memacu diri sgt penting,pendidikan ketat,disiplin juga baik,tapi kalau penyampaian pelajaran dgn singkat,jelas,dan menyenangkan,tentu lebih baik lagi. Ada anak yg mungkin ga termotivasi belajar, ada yg sngt rajiiin sekali,dan ada pula yg di tengah2,itu banyak sekali....di tahap manapun anak,ia punya tugas utk menyelesaikan tahapannya dan kewajibannya juga utk 'belajar' sesuatu baik secara formal maupun non formal...eniwei,kepikiran buat school sendiri bukan ide lama or basi,tapi memang hasrat terpendam ha ha ha. Kesibukan mengurus 2 anak tanpa pengasuh,memendam hasrat ini lamaaaaa sekali, namun kalo kesenggol dikitttt aja,langsung sgala teori dan harapan bermunculan he he he...
Semua ini aku bawa dlm doa di hadapan Tuhan yang maha tau,rencana ini hny rencanaku Tuhan tp kehendakMU lah yg terbaik dan terlaksana...maybe one day,dreams will come true...nobody knows right?!? :)
