Travel update day one - Safari at Cisarua
2007-11-11 09:43:00
Dear readers,I am writing from hotel room, using my handphone. Not sure whether this post will be neat enough.We are waiting for dinner time! We have a great safari experience today, 3 hours from Bandung,we arrive at 11 am. This is the first time for our family so we don't know we can buy carrots to feed the animals. My hubby even thought that we will walk with animals! In fact, we used our own car or used shuttle bus to enter the zoo. I will post the pics when i am back.(Wrote after dinner)We did have pictures with baby orang utan named dika, 2 baby lions and 7 months old white lions! We took cable car,train which passed dinosaurs era tunnel, and elephant ride! We even fed a dolphin and an elephant,saw a komodo and walabi too!Now I am in bed,exhausted but excited. Clay n dad are sleeping, Cliff is still playing :-S hope he sleeps soon! Will try to post again tomorrow. Best regards from http://www.ruangsudut.info

Difficult question for me..
2007-10-09 09:44:00
My son Clay was doing his handcraft, cut and pasted the papers, and he asked me how to cut the steel or iron. Well, kids do ask difficult question sometimes and as parents we have to accommodate their curiosity by providing the right answers... and sometimes that answers lead to another difficult question! *grin* We are not supposed to be annoyed if our kids ask so many questions all the time! If we ask them to stop asking, they will stop learning!When you can't get an answer about something, what do you do? I usually ask Clay to find the answer together from a book, or ask someone else that suspected to have the answer (my hubby, my father in law, my mom or my mother in law for Chinese language, etc) or googling! We really can get answers from internet now, what an easy and instant way!So, back to the question: How to cut the steel? I find about plasma cutting from the internet! With a high technology we can cut any kind of steel with precision, perfection and of course as easy as we

Gift ideas for kids... how about their parents then?
2007-10-08 05:00:00
Our relatives and friends are really care to our sons... they gave some presents for both of my sons, really suitable and entertaining as well as educative! Cliff got a new waistcoat from Auntie, he likes it very much and love to stand in front of the mirror while wearing it. He also got an alphabet board and words and letter interactive book, a child of his age likes to write everywhere and how he got a media to pour all his desired creativities! The interactive book has a lot of disney characters, Cliff can recognize Pooh, Mickey, Buzz Robots and when he saw Princess he pointed her and called her Mommy... LOL... this happens to Snow White as well... wow... he really adores his mommy I guess... the last but not least, a building site! We all love this gift as the car can changeClay got some educational games that made him busy playing all day... his mood is quite good these days.. :-D He loves his microscope a lot but still doesn't have time to explore with it.

Clay's birthday celebration
2007-10-08 02:00:00
Clay wanted to celebrate his birthday at FUN STATION. This time we only invited his cousins just like Cliff's birthday celebration . We took the kids to play at fun station and they were doing fun. As you see on the picture below... fun station is a place to swim in balls pool, crawl, slide, jump and climb! Parents are allowed to accompany their children but we were too old for this kind of activities so we were so exhausted! :-) Just like Amel said, we really had a good, tight sleep last night... hahaha..After playing for 30 minutes we called the kids to blog the ice cream cake and sang happy birthday for Clay... all the kids were sweaty from head to toe already! From the left: Ruth, Sharon, Clay, Tania and Timmy.Clay blew his 7 candles and we prayed together for him. After they were so full finishing their ice cream cake, they ran to play again... here they are at a bungy trampoline... Clay looks very happy, doesn't he?After they played for almost 3 hours, then my sister came with

Holiday is a week away...
2007-10-05 00:35:00
I am rather busy these days preparing our holiday. Our helpers will go to their hometown starting Oct 10th till 17th to celebrate Idul Fitri (Moslem's Holiday ). We usually take this chance to have a long holiday out of town. Last year we went to Jakarta, and this year we plan to go to 2 different places.Our vacation will begin on Oct 11th to a Safari Trip for one day to see animals. We will stay a night at a hotel near Puncak. Puncak is a place between Bandung and Jakarta, this a beautiful hill is 2 hours by car from Bandung. Our kids are so excited because they never go to Taman Safari Indonesia (Indonesian Safari Park). In this 35 hectare park, animals from all continents roam freely. We also can see rare species like the anoa, white tigers, Giraffes, rhinos, lama, etc. The most exciting attraction for me is a baby animal photo session! Wait until I upload our pictures with baby Orang Utan, and baby tigers! I also want to ride an elephant to fulfill my wish!At Oct 12nd is the first

Travel update - last day
2007-10-16 20:04:00
We go to Ujung Genteng and stay one night here. We directly go to the hotel we've booked before, to be honest the hotel is quite disappointing. I will share the details later,using my handphone to blog might make my thumb bigger! Haha...The scenery is stunning! The sea level is so 'down' we can walk on corals and algae. We also can see many starfish, shells,tiny fish and many underwater creatures as if we walk on huge sea garden! Here's a picture from my handphone. I can't wait to show you many pictures!Best regards from http://www.ruangsudut.info

Affluent Luxury in this world
2007-10-23 23:00:00
What would you say when you see this picture? Wow! What a wonderful place! That's exactly my impression when I see it. This Luxury Resort is Mount Airy Casino Resort. It is located in the heart of Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, just two hours or less from Philadelphia, New York City, and northern New Jersey. I find its review from Affluent Luxury site, a new site perfect for honeymooners and those who want to find a romantic getaway. Do visit the site if you want to read more.For young couples who are looking for luxury gift, from wedding dress bearing 9,999 karats of gems to 23 carat golden opulence sundae to impress your first date, find the ideas on this site. They update the site everyday so you can get as many resources as you wish. They all are incredibly luxurious as money can buy!Though I travel at least once a year (twice or thrice will make me very happy though), I never go on luxury vacation before. My hubby and I are satisfied enough to find God's creation of beautifu


Going to Spain....
2007-10-23 22:02:00
Next November my Auntie will visit Spain with her husband! Oh how lovely...! I really like to travel and find new places and so curious about Spain. Here what I've got today after browsing some sites about Spain and found a magnificent church in Spain called Sagrada Familia!Sagrada Familia is a Roman Catholic Church of the sacred family located in Barcelona. What a masterpiece art work! The construction began in 1882 by Antoni Gaudí and its formal title is Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família. It took more than 40 years to work on this project, devoting the last 15 yeas of Gaudi's life to this hard work. Domènech Sugranyes continued the project after Gaudi's death in 1926. There is a song from Alan Parsons Project named La Sagrada Familia (song).Oh how I want to see the details of this beautiful church! There are 18 towers representing 12 Apostles, 4 Evangelists, the Virgin Mary and the tallest of all, Jesus Christ. Not mentioning all the gorgeous sculptures and symbolism ther

Home Sweet Home
2007-10-23 20:00:00
Home Sweet Home... that's the words my hubby said when we arrived at Bandung, our hometown after leaving for 6 days... We love to see our hometown again! Clay and Clifford were also glad to comeback home and sleep in their beds... being at home, they sleep tight and well!Today I found something beautiful to decorate our home... it is really personalized and gorgeous for our home or it would be perfect for a housewarming gift! In this rainy season a doormat will be very useful to keep our home clean. I love this cedar personalized doormat very much! It is perfect to clean Clay's shoes when he is back from school. You know boys like to play on the field and get their shoes very dirty and this cedar doormat has brushes on it!Our house also doesn't have any home address sign and mailbox *blushed* We used to have a home number but it was taken away when we repainted the fences and forgot to put it back... *double blushed* So the postman just throws the letters into our carport! yeah.. ye

Playing with baby animals
2007-10-23 11:00:00
One of our holiday high light is BABY ZOO.... we visited Baby Zoo at Safari Park and have opportunity to take some pictures with some of them! The bird park is at the entrance of the baby zoo, so we will have to pass this great bird park before we meet some baby animals. We also can see baby kangaroo, baby hippo, baby monkeys and orang utans, and many more baby animals! Our favorite experience is taking photographs with them!This baby orang utan's name is Dhika or Mahardhika. He is adorable but not so cheerful at that time. I don't know why... if I can speak his language I would have asked him! :-)So, what do you think? What a happy family with 3 kids! LOL.. but I use a wrong shampoo for the third son Dhika so he is so hairy! LOL... do you think Dhika looks like me or my hubby? hahaha...We also meet one month old baby lions... so such a sweetie! They just like puppies... so cute!This white tiger is 7 months old. He is as nice as a doll... I don't fear of him at all! Actually there i

Pictures from Safari Park - Indonesia
2007-10-21 06:49:00
As I mentioned before that we went to Safari Park last vacation, here's some of the pictures I've edited for you. On Safari Park, we ride our car or we also can use Safari Bus to enter the zoo, where we can be so near with the animals. We usually bought carrots and feed the animals from our window's car. The animals are really used to be fed like this, they always come near and look for some carrots from our car's windows.This is how it looks from our car! hahaha... Carrots please... !The guy with long horns has so many friends and family at the park. They are EVERYWHERE! I think they reproduce so fast just like when we play Zoo Tycoon!We also can see Elephant Show in certain schedules and they can make a pretty good painting!This picture of a tree is painted by an elephant.

Hm... online money! Many of us do make money from our blog, me too. I think it is really great because we can have additional advantage from blogging and own a homebased business. Running high commission online business while we still able to watch our family at home is a wonderful option of making money.If you are interested in having your own ecommerce website, build a phone card website is worth trying. It is affordable yet offers you a high profit opportunity. You can have a pre-built website with your own domain name to market and run as you wish!

Amel's Realm tag me quite long ago, I am sorry to keep it so long, Amel! I just need a time to think what to write here... :-) now seems that you all have did this meme and the list has been soooo long that there's nobody left to be tagged! hahaha...The reason I blog is I humbly hope I can be the salt and the light of the world.We use salt to make our meal more delicious, I hope I can brighten somebody's life with my presence.

As a a SAHM, I try to be connected with the world through my computer. I search and meet my school friends and make new friends from blogging. I don't want to stay alone in my own little world (in my own house and keep busy with house works) just like a light put in a bowl, instead I want to stand high just like a light house, be useful for my surroundings, enlightens, show the ways


Know better about Prostate Cancer
2007-10-28 20:00:00
This October many blogs have turned to PINK as solidarity to spread Breast Cancer Awareness. I think I have to be cautious about this cancer issue as my dad passed away because of lung and liver cancer. If we have a cancer history in our family, we surely have to be very cautious because it is so possible the cancer cell is already in our body.Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men between ages 60 and 80 and is one of the most cause of male cancer deaths. Before the introduction of the PSA (prostate specific antigen) test 75% of prostate cancer patients were diagnosed in the later, incurable stages, now only about 25% of newly diagnosed cases are advanced cancer.Unfortunately, in early stage, this cancer generally shows no symptoms at all. Here's prostate cancer symptoms we must know:a weak urinary streaminability to urinateinterruption of urinary streamfrequent urination (especially at night)pain or burning during urinationblood in urineNowadays, high technology h

I love dancing... and this Christmas I will participate in Christmas performance again and get a really challenging role : India dancer! Yay!!! I will act as a lady from India and also dance! I loooove it very much... :-D Last night we have recorded our dialogs and tonight is the first rehearsal schedule.So just now I browse about how to dance... actually I want to find some steps of India dance, but I found ballroom dance instead! hahaha... I learned Balinese Dance when I was at elementary school and always dream to be able to dance waltz until now! Dancing is a kind of sport I love to do but never do it as I don't have partner and facilities at all... with Dancecrazy.com videos and intructions we really can learn how to dance, even salsa dance as well!This post reminds me of my friend Ed at Endoh's Pure Ranting Rooms. He hilariously can dance, believe me!How about you, what kind of dancing do you dance?*this is a sponsored post*
