One more day to go and Gwen and I will be moving back to KL for good. So, this will be my last posting from Jakarta and a rojak one which also include all my back-dated posts. :PSomehow I'm not feeling excited about moving back to KL...well the thought of Hubby staying on here in Jakarta makes me not so looking forward to this coming Friday. Hubby is taking 2 weeks annual leave and we have

Today (15th Dec 2011) is the last day of school for the 2nd term. On this day, Gwen had to bid farewell to Stellar Kids after almost 2 years studying there. :(We decided to plan a farewell party for her to celebrate with all the students at her pre-school. We ordered Hoka Hoka Bento (a Japanese style fast food restaurant) for all the kids and teachers too. We also bought a cake (with lots of

This week is Gwen's last week of school for Term 2. Gwen will not continue on to Term 3 at her pre-school here in Jakarta as Gwen and I will be moving back to KL for good on 23rd Dec this year. *sob sob*Last Friday (9th Dec 2011) Gwen's pre-school held a Christmas celebration at the Lobby of the mall where her pre-school is located in.Few weeks ago, Gwen's teacher asked me for permission whether

I have been slowing down in blogging these days. The snail pace broadband connection from the hotel is killing me (not stable at all). Anyway, before my posts became moldy, I better record it down first while I still can.I'm a very concern mother but not the kiasu type lah..haha. I'm always on my toes tracking Gwen's progress at school. So far, the feedback I got from her teachers was..."Gwen can

I'm one of those lucky Mummy who has no problem feeding her girl greens. Gwen loves eating veggies compared to meat. She prefers veggies that are crunchy like capsicums, cucumbers, carrots..and other veggies as well such as tomatoes, spinach, broccoli and the list goes on.I don't know why she loves eating mushrooms so much. Sometimes Gwen would ask me whether I cook any mushrooms for lunch/dinner

28th October 2011Last Friday, Gwen attended her school's Costume Party. My animal lover girl wanted to dress up as a Bunny that day. :) Too bad I do not know where to get a Bunny costume for her. The best I could find was a Bunny mask.The event started at 10.30 am where the teachers led the kids to offices, retail shops and restaurants (Gwen's school is located in a boutique mall) for some trick

I love traditional costumes especially Korean traditional dresses (Hanbok in Korean). I bought Gwen her first Hanbok when she was 18 months old from a Mummy who resides in Sabah.While we were at ITC mall (the mall opposite our apartment) desperately looking for a costume for Gwen to wear this Friday for her school's costume party, I couldn't take my eyes off those lovely Korean traditional

He flew back to KL on Wednesday and will be back to Jakarta next Monday.Today was my third time bringing Gwen out alone. Oh we did not go anywhere far...just to Ambasador Mall (ITC) which is just across the road. :PThat's Ambasador Mall. Picture taken from our master bedroom..hehe.Gwen

Gwen's cough has recovered but sometimes I could hear her trying very hard to clear her throat especially in the mornings.Although I don't hear anymore chesty sound, I guess her body must be very heaty and there might be just a little bit of thick phlegm lodge in her throat.I googled for this recipe many months ago. The recipe needs some Chinese herbs that I could not find it here in Jakarta. The

They were here for a very brief 'holiday'..only 2 days..hehe.We brought them to Taman Safari Indonesia at Cisarua (near Bogor) on Saturday. We departed from our hotel around 7.45 am.

Gwen just recovered from a flu and mild cough more than a week ago. She developed the symptoms when we were in KL. We brought her to see her Pediatrician (in KL) and the doctor wanted to give her Actifed (for common cold) and Prospan (for cough). I was aleady giving her Actifed then so I didn't get Actifed (according to the Paed, the one I got from the pharmacies and hers were the same) from her

Gwen was back to school on Tuesday after the one week holiday break. She didn't go to school on Monday coz we just flew back from KL to Jakarta on the same day.When I fetch her from school on Tuesday, one of the teachers informed me that Gwen got a letter from her classmate. It turned out that Vincent (the boy who used to irritate Gwen) wrote a letter to Gwen and all the teachers even the

We flew back to KL again on 25th August (Thurs)!!! We just came back to Jakarta this morning on board the 7am flight.We had a great time during our short stay in KL. We managed to bring Gwen to the

Gwen had her first "working" experience at Kidzania last Sunday. I have heard so much about this edutainment center for children between 4 to 16 years old and it's about time that we bring Gwen to Kidzania (before we leave Indon end of the year and also a good exposure for her to learn more about jobs). KIDZANIA is a kid-sized replica of a real city, with streets, buildings, retail and different

Our daughter Gwen, is considered as a quiet, innocent and gentle 5 year old girl. She is also very imaginative and sometimes she seemed to be in her own little world where she is oblivious to the things happening around her. I make it a point to ask her "what-happened-in-school" questions everyday when she comes back from school...hoping to enhance her memory and exercise her "brain" to think

On 29th July, Gwen attented her first field trip in Term 1 (K2) at Kuningan Village. This field trip was different from the other field trips she used to join. This time the school decided to let the kids have some fun outdoor activity. The school organized futsal for the kids. We paid Rp35000 (around RM12) for Gwen to join the field trip. We were the earliest to arrive at the venue. Actually

Hubby just came back from Jogjakarta today. He was away for almost 2 weeks on a working assignment...and next week he will be off to Bandung again. -_-He sms-ed me just before he boarded the plane requesting me to cook his favourite chicken curry. He was craving for home-cooked food...poor Hubby. Lucky for him, there were 2 stalks of lemon grass left in the fridge..hehe.Actually I was thinking to

My sister wanted to order some multivitamins (for her 2 year old plus son) from an online store selling vitamins, supplement and natural health products so she asked me whether I would like to get some multivitamins for Gwen as well.Actually my sister was sourcing for high grade cod liver oil for her son not those cod liver oil we usually buy from the pharmacies.

Hubby went to Singapore for a business trip last week. It was just a short stay and he was back to Jakarta last Friday. Papa bought something for Gwen from Changi Airport...haha. I told Gwen about her surprise and she waited patiently for Papa to come home that night. Papa reached home just after 12 midnight.

We are back in Jakarta! Just came back yesterday evening (how I miss my home and family in KL..sob sob). Today is Gwen's first day of school. She is in K2 and today is the first day of Term 1. I'm lucky that Gwen doesn't have any issue going back to school after such a long holiday break...almost 2 months! However, she was late for school..the traffic in our area is a total madness (plus Gwen

When we reached the cafe it was already 10am..hehe.Right after breakfast we did some final packing and proceed to the hotel's lobby for payment and checking out.After checking out from the hotel, we headed to the Big Tree Stall at Pasir Pinji again

Sorry for not updating my blog for so long coz I've been busy taking care of Gwen and she is still recuperating from her nasty cough (those nasty phlegm just won't go away completely). Gwen's fever lasted for almost 3 days. I went through hell taking care of her all by myself as her fever shot up to 39.8 C on the 2nd day! Gwen had fever

After coughing for more than 3 weeks...and still not fully recovered yet, Gwen is having fever now! At approximately 7.30pm just now, I touched Gwen's arm and it felt really warm. She was sitting at the dining table watching You Tube. Gwen was watching a South American folklore story called Rainbow Bird.Her fever was very high...39.4 C! Darn!

All three of us have been under the weather. I've just recovered from a cough few days ago. Gwen still has a little bit of cough with phlegm. I think she got the virus from school and this is actually her first time sufferring from cough with phlegm.

We just came back from our 3 days weekend holiday to KL. We never fail to seize the opportunity to go back to KL if the timing is right. Last Friday was a public holiday here in Indonesia and we decided to have an impromptu trip back to KL. We departed on last Thursday night and flew back to Jakarta on Monday morning on board the 9.50am flight to Jkt.This is going to be a all-in-one post of what

Everyday after school ends, Gwen will be waiting for me in the school's mini library. The kids would read and/or play in the library as there were toys too. I'm really glad that Gwen's pre-school allow the students to borrow books from the mini library. :) Because of this, Gwen's interest in reading grew tremendously. In the beginning, Gwen didn't want to borrow any book. As I'm picking her up

Thank you everyone for the get well wishes regarding my skin condition. The smoothness of may face is back (Thank God for that) but the itchiness is still there...it's attacking me on and off and it won't go away completely. Maybe need a little bit more time to fully recover. :( I wanna blog about our outing two weekends ago. Although it was the same old thing we did almost every weekend which is

My blog has been idling for more than a week now. Not in the mood to blog this past week coz I have been battling with rashes on my face. So frustrating as I don't have this problem before and my face wasn't sensitive before this. I just can't believe this as itchy red bumps appear on my face just like that. Bummer.It could be an allergic reaction but I'm not sure what I'm allergic to! I blame it

While I was browsing at some hair colouring products at Watsons (during my recent trip to KL), I was attracted to this hair colouring brand called Liese as it uses foam/bubble to colour your hair. So I grabbed a box of Liese Bubble Hair Color in Marshmallow Brown. :P A box of Liese costs around RM30+ only....hehe. I hate sitting at the hair salon for long period of time and this DIY hair

We are back to Jakarta this morning. We flew back to KL from JKT last Friday night and Hubby took 2 days leave coz we were rushing to register Gwen into Primary school for Year 2013. Most probably Gwen and I will be back to KL next year eventhough Hubby will be staying on in Jakarta. :(From the very beginning, Hubby has plan to send Gwen to a Chinese primary school. Hubby feels that it's very

I went to pick Gwen up from school as usual yesterday. The assistant teacher informed me that Gwen cried in school yesterday. The teacher said Gwen burst into tears when teacher asked her to stay back and had a long talk with her about something she did in the Gym Room during playtime.My heart skipped a beat when I heard Gwen did something wrong in school. The teacher related to me that "Gwen hit

When we were at Sunway Pyramid during the CNY holidays, Gwen saw some arcade machines and kiddy rides just beside the skating rink area (she really has sharp eyesight..LOL).So, we decided to bring her there for some fun. Before that we had our lunch at Pappa Rich again. Yup again...been missing my nasi lemak..yum yum. :PNasi lemak for me.Hubs' assam laksa.Half-boiled eggs for Gwen. Also some

We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day. In the past, we did go out for dinners and my Hubby sometimes bought me gifts too. I asked my Hubby casually how do we celebrate Valentine's Day this year and he said "Nothing"..tsk tsk..and he continued by saying that I have spent alot already on shopping while we were in KL last week. -__- We had a simple home-cooked dinner on Valentine's Day which I

There will be no concerts/performances for Chinese New Year this year at Gwen's pre-school. Just a mini Chinese New Year celebration in the classroom yesterday. Each child brought snacks to share with each other.The children were requested to wear Chinese traditional costumes or something red to school yesterday. As Gwen doesn't have any cheongsam (all her cheongsam are in KL) so I dressed her up

Her teacher handed me her homework (homework to bring home every Friday) plus communication book and some reading material to practice at home for the test.Daddy was revising with Gwen over the weekend as I was not feeling well the whole of last week due to a bad case of yeast infection. Daddy also helped Gwen on her

It's funny how we always ended up buying alot of things when we are back in KL. Our CNY shopping already done when we were in KL during Christmas last year. We will be back on CNY eve so there's absolutely no chance to shop.I only bought a few pieces of clothing for myself...and I have worn some of them already. I'm lucky to have a Hubby who is very patient with me when it comes to shopping. :)

Before the weekend is here, I better blog about what we did last weekend..hehe. Last Saturday, we headed to Senayan City. As we were walking around the mall looking for a place to have lunch, we saw a huge pinata and lots of Dora merchandise at this area.There was a stage there too. Some kids and parents were standing around the stage as if they were waiting for something. We looked around and

I've made friend with an Indonesian lady whose son is also Gwen's classmate and staying at the same apartment as us. She has been staying in KL for the past 4 years before returning to Jakarta with her family last year. Few weeks back, she showed me her son's immunization card (her son was born in Malaysia) and informed me that 4 years old need to have a 2nd jab of MMR. I was so blur coz I didn't

We are back to Jakarta yesterday. We were on the earliest flight from KL to JKT...so early that we had to wake up at 4am. KLIA Limo sucks coz the driver came late to pick us up! He only managed to reach our house at 5am and our flight was scheduled at 7am. The driver was driving so fast and we reached LCCT around 5.40am...*wipe sweat*.Gwen missed school yesterday due to travelling. My Hubby

Gwen's school is having a Christmas Party this Friday. I know she has been practising some dance and a play at school. I'm quite excited to know what kind of performances that she will be participating in so I've been asking her about it. It's very hard to get info from her..haha. At first she would give me this blank look but at time goes by I did manage to get some info from her. One day I

Our plan was to go and see Mount Batur in Kintamani.Before we adjourn to Kintamani, our driver suggested that we should go and watch the Barong Dance at Batubulan. The performance starts at 9 am.

She is almost fully recovered and has started school today since missing 2 days of school last Thursday and Friday.Her "fung mok" or Hives came back again after midnight on the same day we brought her to see the doctor.This time the rashes concentrated more on the face and neck area. It was really late and she was so tired. On Day 2

This morning around 1am, I heard Gwen calling out for me from the bedroom. I was not in bed yet..hehe. As I stepped into the bedroom, I saw her heading towards the bathroom and she was crying a little. I helped her to the toilet and asked her why she was crying. She did not reply. After she finished with her small business, I helped her with her pants and noticed that there were red bumps on her

Day 2Date : 14 Nov 2010- We left the hotel around 9.30AM and our first stop was a beach at Nusa Dua where you can find water sport activities and island hopping packages there.- We decided to go for the Glass Bottom Boat plus Turtle Island package at Rp185k per person. Gwen went for free. Estimated time spent on the tour was around one hour.- First we had a very heavy breakfast at a cafe there.

Also she has been learning to read in school too.I was surprised to hear her counting from 1 to 100 that day. For a little girl who fumbled in counting 1-20 few months ago to be able to count to 100 now, to me it was a good achievement already.She has

Gwen will be going back to school tomorrow after resting at home for the whole last week.On Saturday, we ended up going to Plaza Indonesia although our initial plan was to go to PIM (Pondok Indah Mall)

Gwen did not attend school for 3 days since Monday. She is having flu and cough since Sunday so I decided to let her rest at home. I gave her some meds we brought from KL but her condition didn't improve.When she woke up yesterday morning, I noticed that her eyes were swollen again. Luckily I brought along the eyedrop from KL from her last visit to her Paed. The last time Gwen had a cough was

We almost forgotten about the tickets we have collected from Fun World (family recreation center) which I have kept them safely in the closet.We took all the tickets with us and headed to Grand Indonesia for our usual malls hopping weekend. We had lunch at Food Louver (a huge food court).We were seated outside.The design was kind of funny.Both Hubby and

Gwen's school is organizing a second field trip in November. This field trip is far more exciting than her first/latest field trip to Seaworld, Ancol. They are going to Taman Safari Indonesia in Bogor this time. I am still thinking whether to let her go on the field trip or not because Bogor is about 1.5 to 2 hours drive from Jakarta. We have been to Taman Safari before once and in my opinion

I don't know why we shop like crazy when we were in KL. I think some things in KL are cheaper than Jakarta. Everytime I want to buy something in Jakarta, my brain would be working very hard to convert RP to RM..hehe.When we were in KL during our holiday 2 weeks ago, we definitely did not miss any chances of going to the malls. :) I think we managed to cover quite alot of shopping malls although

One thing didn't change..Daddy still needs to travel due to work. Daddy just came back from Shanghai last Saturday after spending 4 days in Shanghai attending a forum. Daddy didn't have time to shop but he did not come back empty handed.Lets see what he got for us.He visited The World Expo and bought these little souvenirs of the mascot..haha. That's very typical of Daddy..hehe..something is

One week passed by in a blink of an eye. Suddenly we are back to Jakarta. It's so funny, my husband was telling me it felt like we just came back from a holiday to KL..haha.While we were at KLIA last Sunday, we couldn't stop ourselves from stepping into this store which sells toys and chocolates. We have a soft spot for chocolates. :)Before that we had brunch at Asian Cafe. I'm always hungry for

Sorry for the short hiatus. Some of you must be thinking that I'm having a jolly good time in KL..hehe. In actual fact things weren't going that well. We were involved in a car accident while we were in Melaka for a one night stay on Monday.The day started with a happy mood coz we were really looking forward to our brief holiday in Melaka. Couldn't stop thinking of the food that we have been

We are going back to KL for a one week long holiday. :) Going to the airport at 3PM later to catch our 6PM flight back to KL. Gwen is having a week long school holiday next week. Gwen can't wait to go back KL...hehe..everytime she sees the tourism ad about Malaysia on Star World, she would say "I want to go Malaysia"..haha.Today is also our big day (my husband and my birthday) and our 6th ROM

Gwen at 4 years 3 months old has finally ditched the diapers! She has been going diaperless during bedtime for 2 nights! I didn't really train her to wean off the diapers during bedtime. She did it by herself.Every morning I will see wet diapers when Gwen wakes up from her sleep. Every night while putting on the diapers for her, I will remind her that she doesn't need diapers anymore, she is a

2 weeks ago when I went to fetch Gwen from school, her teacher passed me an envelope. Inside the envelope were some artworks she did in class.I never knew Gwen could draw after seeing her artworks. Why I said that is because whenever I ask her to draw something she would tell me she doesn't know how and asks me to draw instead. Gwen is not interested in drawing (blame it on Mummy coz I never

Gwen's one week school holiday started last Wednesday and ends this Wednesday. On the first day of Raya, we went to Atlantis in Ancol with Hubby's friend and his family.Atlantis is something like Sunway Lagoon, a water theme park. Tickets are priced at Rp100,000 (RM37) for adults and children. O.oGwen suddenly developed a fear in going into the water. @_@ She was worried that the water is too

Gwen fell in love with a not so famous Sanrio character called Charmmy Kitty ever since she saw a brief video clip of Charmmy on You Tube. At first, she was watching some Hello Kitty videos on You Tube...suddenly she landed on a Charmmy Kitty video...haha.She would tell me she is Charmmy Kitty sometimes..haha..and she has been asking for a Charmmy Kitty toy.How does Charmmy Kitty looks like?

Thank you everyone for your concerns. Actually demos are quite common here in Jakarta..haha..I've seen demos a few times already when we were passing by some government buildings while in our car. Banners and flags could be seen along the road. Overall it's pretty safe here in Jakarta (just hope no more clashes between the 2 nations in the future).Due to the scare, we only went out for dinner

This is a backdated post.One of the exclusive malls in Jakarta is Plaza Indonesia. You can find many high fashion or high end brands here, e.g: Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, Roberto Cavalli, Juicy Couture, Gucci, Prada, Valentino..to name a few. If by any chance you are in Jakarta do check out Plaza Indonesia. In my opinion, the standard of exclusiveness in KL's shopping malls are nowhere compare to

We received a letter from school informing us there will be some activities involved at school that day.As stated in the letter, all students

I was still awake around 2 am this morning. While I was working on my laptop (I was sitting at the dining area), suddenly I felt dizzy and I could feel our apartment shook a bit (mind you we are staying on the 11th floor). The kitchen and master bedroom doors were swinging by itself! It happened real fast like 1 or 2 seconds.Hubby and Gwen were sleeping soundly. I was terrified! I related my

I think most kids love to play hide and seek. Gwen is one of them. Most of the time she is the one who hides. ^_^ One fine day, we heard her calling for us to find her..haha. Where did she hide this time? Where is she? Gotcha! She was hiding inside the closet. *shake head* Gwen found a new place to hang out which is the closet. She would go inside the closet and close the door. We could hear

She was holding the cupcake all the way from school (she was supposed to eat it during the party). She said she

On Monday, as usual I picked Gwen up from school. Usually, the kids will be in the library after class to wait for their parents/nannies to bring them home. When I reached the school, she was still in the classroom. I took a peek and saw her doing some writing..hehe..so cute. :)Within 5 mins, her class ended and teacher brought Gwen out from the classroom. Her teacher, Miss Abby told me that Gwen

I've been browsing through some chic and trendy clothing from here and here. I'm spoilt for choices and after days of browsing I finally settled with 2 dresses.I'm very happy with this pretty mummy's service coz she really goes all the way to make sure the dresses that I wanted will arrive on time before I go back to Jakarta this Sunday.And she took the trouble to deliver the dresses to me today

This is a backdated post. On Gwen's actual birthday which is 22nd June, I prepared some red eggs for her in the morning. Yes..only 3 red eggs..haha. We were out of eggs that day. -__- Then I dressed her up in her new Hello Kitty top bought from Jakarta and headed to IOI Mall for a birthday lunch. :)Asked her to pose for a pic first.We went to Sakae Sushi again! Both of us enjoy sushi very much..

Last Tuesday, Gwen and I went to my parents' house for dinner. As I was walking past one of the bedrooms, I suddenly remembered these two soft toys which I've totally forgotten about them.I took them home (and washed) as they were sitting there collecting dust..hehe. Let me present to you my little treasures. ^_^A Hello Kitty bride and her groom, Dear Daniel. My Hubby bought these toys for me
