2 years of her life...

Hannah umur berapa? 

DUA...

I've been telling Hannah that she will be turning two, she will be a bigger girl. I think she understand what i said to her. 

Being TWO, means

1. She has more responsibility.

2. She has to listen to me and the dad

3. She has to wear clothes in the room

4. She can't throw up if she cries

5. She has to be a good sister

It was Friday the 13th.. of August, she has to wear something purple.. so she wore this purple dress, still too big, but it's the only purple dress she has. She was so smily all morning and she didn't even cry when she entered her class.

I decided to bring her birthday cake to school, and have this cupcakes made by me..  to be distributed to her classmates. 

It's two... 2.. she shows her fingers...

We took this picture the next day, as oki just came home late that day..

Happy birthday Sweetie.. May God bless you with health, happiness and peace in heart.

Family Trip to Bali

The Land of God, all said... that's true.. Bali is one of the most fascinating island in the world. My overseas friends used to recognise Bali as a country, not an island in a country. But Bali is a country on its own. Anyway, we already planned for this trip a few months before as our cousin get married on the 10 of July. 

This is the stage.. amazing, isn't it? This garden called "Taman Baghawan", located in Tanjung Benoa. It's owned by my uncle. This garden was purposely made for the son's wedding, which was then... My uncle and the wife, designed themselves, and supervised themselves.

It's 2 days before the day, we have rehearsal in the garden.

Hannah was having so much fun

Food... food... yummy...

Widodaren

My cousins : Anthony (fly in from USA especially for this occassion), Jane (the wedding gown designer), Arie (The groom sister), Dona (my sister in-law), Herry (Arie's husband), Hardi (flied from German for this and of course his wedding is coming up too)

This is Bali's Cathedral. Beautiful.. Beautiful.. and am proudly said that it was designed and built by my uncle and aunt.

Can you find me?? Am laughing myself as i posted this photo. Me.. with my chinese look, wearing local kebaya.. 

(left to right : oki, dewa, me.. arie, luki and hannah)

Even the kids have to wear local clothes..

(Josiya, Josephe and Hannah)

Beautiful Scenery.. 

It was really quite a night. It only happened once in a lifetime.. 

There are more photos to upload, but i have to wait for the photographer.. 

Little things...

This is how my eyes will see for the rest of my life.. This is how i always remember my life will be... The relationship between my loved ones.. Hope that it will be like this forever.

Life is like a movie that we are the actors and the actresses, and the audience is GOD. But in my life, am the audience of the movie that played around me. I use GOD given eyes to see these scenes.

So, smile... smile my friends.. You are in a movie..

If you treat your life as simple as this.. and feel blessed.. It's not about how rich you are, how much money you have, how high your positions are... Your life will be contented if you started to appreciate little things around you.

Greeting from my 'lil man...

TOBIE ARYA KUNTJORO borned on the 30th of May 2010 through water birth process in Jakarta. 

The moment i saw him. Tears were rolling down on my cheeks. The pain that i was experienced, suddenly was gone. The only words that came out from my mouth was only : Thank you GOD..

and i whispered through my baby's ear..

Bapa kami yang di surga, dimuliakan namaMu.

Datanglah kerajaanMu, jadilah kehendakMu.

Di atas bumi seperti di dalam surga

berilah kami rejeki pada hari ini

dan ampunilah kesalahan kami

seperti kami mengampuni yang bersalah kepada kami

dan janganlah masukkan kami ke dalam percobaan

tetapi bebaskanlah kami dari yang jahat. Amin.

Salam Maria penuh rahmat Tuhan sertaMu,

terpujilah engkau di antara wanita

dan terpujilah buat tubuhmu Yesus,

Santa Maria bunda Allah, 

doakanlah kami yang berdosa ini sekarang dan waktu kami mati. Amin.

Kuserahkan anakku kepadaMu ya Bapa, jagalah dia seperti Bapa menjagaku.

Hannah was in the process of getting to know her lil brother.

“For a mother the project of raising a boy is the most fulfilling project she can hope for. She can watch him, as a child, play the games she was not allowed to play; she can invest in him her ideas, aspirations, ambitions, and values -- or whatever she has left of them; she can watch her son, who came from her flesh and whose life was sustained by her work and devotion, embody her in the world. So while the project of raising a boy is fraught with ambivalence and leads inevitably to bitterness, it is the only project that allows a woman to be -- to be through her son, to live through her son.”

Let's peep my 'Week in the Life' Project

It took about 2 weeks, printing the photos and pasting them. The hardest is to choose the photos that represent each activities of the day, so it will look like a story. And put it in a nice way so that they will fall onto the right page. In this project, i choose clean and bright look, more to green, pink and yellow colors.. 

'Clean' means that i clean my old papers as well. :P I tried to use my old paper so i can buy new ones for other project. Of course using what i have, not buying new stuff. I don't say that i didn't buy at all, but make it as minimum as i can.

This is the look just after i pasted all the photos. Still so raw.

Then i tried to put a touch of yellow.

Photo of the day..

Thank you to my dearest husband and daughter who are so patient and supported me to do this project until this far.

This is what happened during last week..

When i feel that my body is getting heavier and ready to explode, there are a lot of things happened arounds me that I wouldn't want to miss for the world.

Hannah discovers a thing called 'FLASH LIGHT'.

Her favorite fruits but cannot be eaten.

She enjoys her trip back from her school with her stroller and she doesn't want getting off from it.

She eats banana with cheese and chocolate by herself.

Today's Quotation:
