Thumbnail image for 12 Unique Facts About Indonesia

Being Indonesian, let me introduce you to 12 Unique Facts About Indonesia With over 17,000 islands – approximately 6000 of them still inhabited, Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Over 580 languages and dialects, Bahasa Indonesia is the formal language (I only knows several traditional languages and dialects) Rice is the main food staple in Indonesia. That’s why most Indonesians will say they haven’t had their meal before they had rice even after they had eaten pizza or hamburger! Indonesia is home to one of the previous 7 Wonders of the world – The Borobudur Temple. It’s the biggest Buddhist temple in the world built in 9th century. Still one of the huge tourism spot in Indonesia. .....

Time for Wordless Wednesday Are we really had ventured into these toddler playing games on the computer period? Let’s just say I still haven’t decide if I should thank DH for getting the Thomas game for Lil’ A or raising my eye brows! Hop over to Alicia at A Beautiful Mess to join the fun.

Weekly Round Up

So, after a small objection from Lil’ A about my blackberry, I took the weekend off not only from the phone (well almost! I still had to communicate with DH!) but also from my laptop and you know what it feels great! But I do miss reading the blogs I love – so will try to do some catch up soon. Milestone wise: The boy now speaks longer sentences, some words just spurted out of nowhere! Like last Saturday while playing with his small uncles and aunts (yes – technically he is their little nephew!) he blurted out “No! That’s not how you do that…here, let me show you!” with a very bossy tones it’s almost make me fell on .....

Been a fan of Sex and The City for years now, had watched the show religiously even had my full seasons collection. Yes, the clothes, shoes and purses are to die for but for me they have more meaning (and I’m not that fashionista myself!) and here’s what I learned from that 4 fabulous ladies: ●   Boyfriends – or in Samantha’s case boy toys – will come and goes but real friendships will stay for a lifetime! ●   True friends may not approve your choices in life – but they will support you none the less! ●   If they don’t agree to your choices they’ll tell it like it is, in your face – not behind your back! ●   .....

Universal Studio Singapore

Another reason why we went to Singapore was to check out the newly open (well, they’re still on a soft-opening stage really) Universal Studio Singapore. It’s the first one opened in South East Asia. Location: Universal Studio Singapore is located within the Resort World Sentosa, on Sentosa Island. Reachable by cab, MRT or by bus. Easiest way would be to take a cab to Vivo City Mall like we did, only cost us around SGD$ 9 by cab from our hotel at the downtown Orchard Rd. From there we took the Sentosa Express (SGD $3/person) and stop right at Universal Studio a mere few minutes ride away. Opening Hours: Monday – Sunday: 10:00 am to 7:00 pm Thursday  – Sunday: .....

The Wiggles Concert

The main reason for our weekend getaway was actually The Wiggles! Too bad I found out about their concert in Singapore a tad too late and all the front row seats were sold out! Gasp! I did got us some tickets – not the best seats available – but I was excited for Lil’ A anyway. The Wiggles concert in Singapore was scheduled for Saturday (June 5th, 2010)  – Sunday (June 6th, 2010) with 2 shows on Saturday. My brother, Reggy was kind enough to go with us since DH was stuck with work in Jakarta and couldn’t make it. By the time we got to the venue, Singapore Indoor Stadium, it was slightly raining but that doesn’t stop all .....

Featuring fixed capsules the size of a bus, the spectacular monument is capable of holding up to 784 passengers. Each capsule has a 28 person capacity and each revolution takes approximately 30 minutes….- From their website We were hoping to catch the glimpse around sunset time but lo and behold the sun didn’t set until after 7 PM!

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah – Revisited

After many years, last Saturday my mom & aunt suggested that we go to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (literarily translated it means Indonesia Beautiful Miniature Park). It’s a cultured-based recreational area with rides and a lot of stuffs to offer but my favorite part is they house – literately speaking – traditional houses from every provinces of Indonesia. That means 26 different traditional houses, real size! Lil’ A who is train crazed was uber excited when we rode the monorail while his Oma nearly had a heart attack hahaha. Seriously my mom hates rides and basically afraid of heights! We didn’t get to check out the houses like I wanted because someone ehm…was too train focused so after the monorail .....

In between playing around with a new design for Tatter Scoops and juggling everyday life, thought I’d post some pictures of my umbrella boy. Oh the joy of playing in the rain!

Lil’ A has been into The Wiggles song for some times now and it’s never gets old but this time lets just say he put a different twist to it. Mommy needs to brush up on her taking picture skills to follow the rocker’s movements! His beloved-at-the-moment-favorite-musical instrument is that red guitar and at the moment he have enough instrument to have his own band! Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
