an afternoon

This afternoon,I need to pay some bills at office so joice tagged along with me and my mom :) karena di office nya ada playgorund indoor for kids!

While waiting for the long queue, joice played inside...

I met some mommies too,mungkin karena liburan,anak-anak juga diajak..daripada di rumah. Di dalam ruangan,ada 2 tv video game yang cukup canggih and playground yang manjat-manjat,a playmat, and tables with puzzles on it. Beberapa mommies datang bukan untuk paying bills,tapi hanya ajak anaknya main...:) anyway, I like observing people and see what they do (kepoooo ha ha). Ada 1 mommy,anak yang pertama about 10 yrs old, anak ke 2,girl lagi ,about 7, dan 1 lagi baby about 8 months old with mbak yang gendong lagi bobo. Mama lagi sibuk ngobrol dgn mama lain di depan.anak2 semua di dalam ruangan...ahhhh I just wondering,if I were her, mau ga yah,punya anak lagi,kalau joice udah kelas 5sd! Wahahahaha mengulang masa baby kembali...I don't think sooo...another mom,anaknya dua,yang 1 abour 6,girl,yang satu seumur joice,boy. Wkt kita masuk,dia memandang kita dgn tatapan judes..wow wow...! Kita baru aja sampe...so,we just ignore her too. Satu lg,anaknya girl sekitar 1 thn 2 bln. Belum lancar jalan,mamanya is sooo sweeett and sabarrrr banget. Speaking english to her daughter,jelasin hal satu2 dgn sabar,dan lemah lembut...ah so not me hihihihihih I just speak with normal tone to joice,and sometimes even lebih strict lagi he he he... (Joice gitu loh,lari sana sini hehehehe)

And last one, one boy baru 6 thn,but he's very tall,udah kaya 8 thn. He doesn't want to share toys with these little toddlers, padahal itu main masak-masakan! Goodness. Mamanya cuma duduk di luar,dgn tatapan cukup sadis. It turned out, dia ngaku klo dia the only child.pantas...no sharing at all...

Joice herself,juga kadang sulit utk berbagi. Mungkin masih umurnya,and mungkin belum ada konsep teman,jadi mainan bagi dia,ya milik dia...so many kinds on mom that produce so many kinds of children. I don't know how people look at me too. But I try my best to be better mom for joice and others. To community. Gimanapun,kita hidup perlu socialize dan teman-teman seumuran,so kita juga perlu membina hubungan baik toh...this make me thinking: what kind of person/mom am I?? Yang annoying,yang lembut,yang sopan,or yang ga disukai?? ‎​♓έ♓έ♓έ.... Whatever I am,yang penting kita juga harus terus koreksi diri kalau salah,minta Tuhan utk membantu mengubah karakter sulit kita dan berbaur dgn banyak orang...

Kebanyakan apa yang kita kerjakan,itulah yang dicopy oleh anak kita. Jadi pepatah like mother like daughter itu mungkin cocok... He he...apa yang kita kerjakan,akan jadi teladan buat anak-anak. Banyak sekali peran mama dan berbagai jenis mama yang menjalani perannya, dalam peran itu,sungguh butuh kebijaksanaan dari Tuhan,tanpa itu,kita jadi kehilangan arah dan bingung harus bereaksi apa...

Keep praying and doing my best for God and also for my beloved family! :)

this is mbok mbok...

Joice: mama, I like to play with your sarong..please wrap it around me..


so actually, she really asked me to wrap it around her, of course I made up the words but I know what she really wanted ha ha....

Achievements at 19th month

heavy and heavier....

I feel heavy and even heavier in these past few days... I walk slower and lazy to bend on my kness to reach something, nevertheless I stiLl eat a lot! He he

I need more time to stand up and after I stand up,I don't want to sit down so soon, I prefer sitting on a nice coach to sitting on floor like usual when I play with joice...

I feel guilty when I can't run around with joice, she loves kicking balls then catch it again,but I can't do this kind of activity with her anymore...
I like sitting with her and reading her some books...doing something in slow things..no need much movements :) she enjoys it too somehow...

We read books together and these two days she can memorize the shape of star,circle,square,and triangle. Its all in mandarin. I'm thinking to give her one language in each concept. I believe she can speak indonesian and english very soon after she starts school years. So I keep speaking mandarin as mother language as long as she's still with me all time.

Now, her vocabulary has increased too. She can speak 'cou cou' means jalan-jalan, hehehehe but mama really lazy to do cou cou lately .... But I still try to bring her outside for fresh air every afternoon,like around 5 pm,after her shower,we would go out,this time I let her ride on her bike so I just pushing her around. Its much more easy for me and my heavy body :) beacuse when she walks,she doesn't want to walk, she wants to run! Hahahaha

I really enjoy these last moments with her as much as I can...this week will be another more week...and when the time flies...soon I'm going to give birth too, our time will be three of us,not two of us anymore...we'll be spending time together as three late,me,joice,and baby boy...meanwhile,I just want to cherish and enjoy every precious moment with joice...

Gosh...I still can't believe it will be around a month or 1,5 months more to labour time.....

seaworld ...

Last Friday adalah hari terakhir sebelum seluruh sekolah di jkt libur...so its also the last day of normal price for seaworld entrance fee ha ha! I have been thinking about going there...of course ajak joice....

My last trip to seaworld when it was the first opening,and when I was still on secondary school,had bad memory because its too crowded and I almost got stucked inside...(Hampir keinjak org dewasa hiiiii),for Calvin,it been longggg years ago hehehehehe when he's still little,his mom brought him and all siblings to ancol,there wasn't any seworld back on those times :)

This time we went with A ma. Joice woke up from nap at 1.30 pm then papa came with A ma from office to pick us up at home. Joice had lunch on car. No traffic at all except around ancol...

Inside,joice enjoyed the fish feeding by the divers and she loved crocodile. Buaya putih. The place was small. Tapi waktu kita kecil,seaworld terlihat gedeeeeee bgt hehehehehe now we are soooo old and big,tempatnya jadi kecil...but for joice,its BIG!

She never really see so many fishes like in there....buanyakkkk and variatif. Joice also tried to touch turtles in the pool,tapi sebenarnya dia lebih suka main air nya ha ha!

After 1,5 hours inside, papa was hungry and mama wanted some snacks, we ate popeyes then went out to mercure hotel. Just looked around and joice played in the playground...time passed so fast,its already 6 and we're tired,its time to go home...joice langsung bobo setelah susu di mobil :)

Nice trip though....the next time we go,it will be when little baby has grown up just like joice he he..or else baby could not enjoy the show too...

angel is sleeping...

Lately,apa mungkin hormon selama hamil or lagi 'mellow' aja, I love looking at joice's face when she asleeps...rasanya damaiiii bgt...kalau lagi bangun,joice is soooo active, she likes to run everywhere she goes :) but when she's tired...nah...she's like angel is sleeping hihihihih so peaceful,quiet, lucu...ah...I feel so blessed whenever I see her sleeping or playing..

Feel blessed krn bisa lihat dia tiap hari grow up,
Feel blessed krn bisa main2 with her everyday,
Feel blessed krn bisa spend most of time with her,

I can't imagine when its time to let her go to school :( but eventually it will be happened soon...hiks hiksss

My angel, when you are sleeping, mama feels so blessed to reflect on how great God's blessings to mama and papa..and also tp everyone around you...who lovessss you soooo much!

A girl is indeed a girl....

look! where's Minnie?? she must be thirsty, I need to give her 'nenen' means drink ha ha! cup cup,...there you go......
