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.............
