Papabubble - Grand Indonesia

I like Candy!
Moreover, I like Japanese Candy which rich in flavor.

But now, I'm in love with this candy.
A small size candy with good look and most important thing, nice in flavor.

Last Saturday 25August, after having a lunch in Kado restaurant, we found out that the shop was showing the candy making process. Sooo, we then stop by and watched it with other guest ^^/
(ok, this was my first time to saw it, I'm not lucky enough in the past :p.)

Forming the Candy

The guy combine the Candy

See, not only me who want to watch it

Josh and Daddy pay attention.
Ok, Josh definitely wait for the Candy. He droll for it.

Yipee, the Candy done!. Coffee taste. We got to snip a bit.
Hope next time we could watch the character candy ^^/

If you want to taste it, you can visit the store in Grand Indonesia.
I love Heart Mix, Mango, and Sour candy.

Family Dine Out - August 26, 2012

Celebrating Mother and Brother in law birthday, we have another family dine out.
Location: Nan-xiang, Paragon.

Citraland - Draw the Lottery Number

We accompany Pho-pho to the Citraland Mall -28082012. Yes, pho-pho would like to knew whether she has a luck for winning one of the lottery prize :p.

Anyway, instead staying in the crowd, I took Josh going around the mall. He will stop by whenever he saw a children. 

I barely visit this mall after I moving with my Parent in Law, but as far as I remember, why I like this mall is because the things sold there was achievable for my pocket :p.

Beside that, I like the concept of non stop shopping mall is being translate into the "never ending rotation path" - means you can walk from the 1st floor till the highest floor in the mall Without escalator or lift, just follow the rotation path and you have moving from one floor to the other.

And Josh like this also, a sloping path always attract my boy.

At the end, yes, Pho-pho didn't win anything, but we still have fun ^^. Daddy pick us.

Here the picture of the crowd during the drawing time.

Josh wondering why so many people starred at the stage :p

P.S. the crowd is well managed. I think the Event organizer improved year to year.

Cereal Box Goggles

I saw the cereal box left in the table.
Suddenly think to make a goggles for Josh.
Need a cereal box, scissors, and glue stick/staples (like I did) to link between.

Here the result, not bad hah!? :p.

Ok, let me wore it.

Look!, How do you think I wore this goggles?

Or may be like this?

How Josh enjoy the Watermelon

Previously, I always cut off watermelon skin, took out the seed and serve to Josh on mouth bite size with his fork.
But then, one day he refuse the watermelon, once he saw how I ate it.

So now, I cut a triangle shape, and just took out the seed, then serve it on the plate.
Josh love how to ate like this.

Somehow, I learn to be flexible on the things that not principle when deal with my lil Josh.

My Dinner 2years 2months old

Wahaha,

Today, I grow up a month and I come to Pho-Pho house and Get this for my Dinner.

A red rice, with carrot, baby corn, mushroom (for the mouth) and Egg (for the hair).

Ok, mom put the rest of the vegetable on the other plate.

I ate that all, and mom feel very glad of me.

From Hotel to Hospital

Josh condition was not going better after my previous post.

Monday
Early Monday morning after taking 50ml of milk and half kiwi, at 7am we brought him to Hospital.
As no doctor in clinic cause the 2nd day of Eid ul-Fitr, we went to emergency unit.

A young male doctor checked of Josh.
Josh who felt uncomfort, kept screaming and cause of that, he got cough and then vomit out all the food that I have feed him.
His temperature was 39degree.

After that, we tried to nebulizer him, what happen? Scream, hand and feet try to push away the tools.
Based on that, I then decided to went back home and monitoring his condition.

Medicine Prescribe in the morning:
-Antibiotic and Mucos for his throat
-Paracetamol
-Vometa - if he vomit again

Josh felt asleep in the car, then continue his sleep in our bed.

When he awake, his hand trembling, and his mouth turn to the dark blue colour. I'm really shock and push him to take a drink. He still refuse it.
After reached 100ml - half of them spill out, I stopped.

I have made a porridge, but seem no use, he refuse it all.
Then I make watermelon juice, one of his fav fruit, and yes, he did take it little bit.

But, after half an hour, he vomit it all.
He looking week and dizzy.

Hospitalized
Then we came to the Hospital and asked for infusion.

Here the adding story of How Josh Reaction when he Got the Infusion.
I told him that it will be hurt ( I won't lie), and seem Mama never had the infusion, then Mama guess, it will be like Giant Ant biting your hand. Josh can cry and don't worry, I will be here with you.
The Nurse Fold him with a cloth only left one hand out.
Josh just cry when the nurse put the needle inside. Rest of it, when the nurse still need to take his blood, he didn't cry at all. All the day, he take care of his hand. But yes, after a day, he got bore.

After few hours of infusion, he's getting better, even he could grumbling about his hand who got infusion needle.

What Doctor Said?
When doctor came around 5pm (I visit her before when Josh has a fever), she said that Josh has no indication for stayed in the hospital.
No medicine prescribed - only paracetamol if he have a high temperature, Need to keep drink Pedialyte (similar with Oralit - Oral rehydration Theraphy).

Different Doctor has different point of view and honestly, I like this doctor, cause she always explain to you the reason behind her action and she very reasonable on giving a medicine.

Considering that it's already noon time, we then decide to stayed till tomorrow morning and look for his condition.

He slept for almost 10hours and in the middle, sometime he awake for asking a drink.

Tuesday
In the morning, the nurse informed us that the infusion could be took off. I aksed the nurse to took off all the tools.

Josh only drink a half cup of soup, and half kiwi for the morning and one kiwi for the lunch.
He didn't ate anything serve in the hospital, while for me, the taste of food is good.

As Josh didn't like to drink Pedialyte, I came out with Idea.
Pour out the sugar and salt in the plate.
Let him used his finger put into his mouth.
And have him drink later on.
(It turn into the same composition in his stomach hahaha).

As Josh condition getting better and confirmed by the Doctor, we checked out at 6pm.

Doctor suggested me to read from:
www.milissehat.web.id
www.mayoclinic.com

We still have task to do, encourage Josh to eat.
Hope his appetite back.

One thing surely change after the Hospital Experience: Josh could sleep by his own, without us lullaby him.
Heh?!

Josh kept starring at the infusion

A day after.

Tips for making the Stay at Hospital Toddler more comfortable :
1. Bring the favorite Pillow, Bolster, and Favorite Blanket
2. Bring the toys. For Josh, we bring the Ball.
3. Do some activity like sticking around. (Bring the sticker with you - make sure the sticker easily take off)
4. Bring the favorite book, you can read together.
5. Singing their favorite song.
6. Let them wear the most comfortable shirt (unless hospital provide, you must bring lot of spare)
7. Bring the favorite snack or food or fruit that you think he can swallow. (Most of the time patient didn't touch hospital food).
8. Massage massage and massage ^^

That's all I can share for what I have experience, feel free to add ^^.

Josh after Holiday

My lil Josh body condition dropped after holiday end - Friday.
He got mild fever starting Saturday and up and down then going high on Sunday.
The worst thing came, he refuses to ate anything, we must persuade and encourage him to ate.
He finally ate very very small portion and after one or twice, he refuse the food and we kept changing it.
Why I said it's worst, cause he refuse all his favorite food.

If by the Monday morning nothing changed, then we will hospitalized him to get infusion.
Somehow I feel better he could stayed at home, cause it's more comforting and to have infusion on his tiny hand is not a very nice experience. Therefore I kept helping him to swallow his food, hope it's turn better by the day goes by.

Tanah Lot - Bali Day 1 - 12 August 2012

Tanah Lot is one of the place well known for it's beautiful Sunset.

There were many places where you can choose to enjoyed the beautiful Sunset in Bali i.e.: Kuta, Dreamland, Jimbaran, Tanah Lot, etc. (Top five Places for enjoyed the Sunset in Bali - in Indonesia.)
As we will stayed in Kuta, then we choose Tanah Lot for having the first day Sunset in Bali.

We arrived there around 5pm after visiting Museum Antonio Blanco.
We brought the mineral water 600ml for IDR 3000,- (the price is quite reasonable for tourist area).

We shall walked around 10 minutes to the Beach, but it might took longer time, as your eyes will kept starred at shop along the road.
I brought a Brown Hat. They open the price at IDR 60.000,- cause I didn't know what the normal price should be, then I bargain half of the price at IDR 30.000,-. Within second, they agree with it.
Uhmmm, may be the price shall be lower than that.

Intermezzo: Calvin told me before when we have our vacation in China.
If you bargain and they agree with it within second, that means they got a good profit from your price.
If you bargain and they mad/yell at you but still sell it to you, that means they got a slight profit from your price. ^^. People barely want to sell at loss.

While waiting for the Sunset, we took the picture.
Josh who always stick to his favorite uncle, enjoyed the ducky who searched for food and the sound of wave.

After 6.30pm, we went back.
Before reached our Hotel, we visit a Supermarket for brought some fruit, water and snack.

Here some of the picture:

Looking at the Ducky

Mirror mirror on the water, who the handsome boy?

Sista act in front of camera, while Calvin took a picture of my mom.

Josh and his Favorite Uncle enjoyed the Wave ^^/

Museum Antonio Blanco - Bali Day 1 - 12 August 2012

I have no plan to visit any museum in Bali. The First day we arrived, after having a Sunday Service, we searched for lunch and decide to snip a I made Joni duck in Ubud area - Bali.
The most nearest attraction to choose was Blanco Museum, Monkey Forest, or Shopping.
Not interest with Monkey and Shopping, I end up choosing the Blanco Museum, as the driver said, there was a small garden inside the Museum.
Think that Josh will love to play in the garden, I nodded to the offer while actually I have no idea what kind of painting will be shown there.

Arrived there, for Domestic Tourist, we must Paid IDR 30.000/person.

We got a welcome Drink, and could taken a picture with the Bird.
Josh was brave enough to have a bird park on his hand. But his body freeze like a stone, all of us just laughed at his act.

Bird also do the Sunbathing ^^/

The garden have a small water fountain too.
A bunch of small chicken - Josh tried to chasing the chicken all the time and he happy with that.
Rest room was ok - since Josh suddenly need to finish his routine there :p.

My brother told me that Blanco is famous for his painting of Balinese Dancer (His Wife picture).
After enjoying the Garden, Now we entered the Museum.
(On the moment, we saw a pre-wedding shot taken on Blanco Museum).

See more information about Blanco Museum - blancomuseum.com

Now come to my impression.
No offense, but honestly, I couldn't enjoyed the paintings.
Almost all of the paintings about undressed female body.

If you asked me, what kind of painting art that I like, that is a naturalist painting about the beauty of scenery.
So, Uhmm I hardly tell that I might not visit this Museum unless I'm on duty to accompany people who interested on this type of painting.

So at the end, I think, we enjoyed the garden more than the paintings it self.

What do you think of me when I wear a flower? A Balinese?

Mommy pretend to be a painter.

At the exit gate, we amazed by an very old tree.

Time was showing 4pm. Josh fall asleep in the Car and we headed to Tanah Lot.

Sleepy Josh

Two of many good things in August.

Our little home renovation Done!
A lot of things need to be manage also. Bit afraid yet excited and it's like a challenge for me.

Our family holidays wait for us for weak ahead!
Yeah. This year finally we can manage a holiday with my family, mom, and bro and sista.
Hope we could enjoy this first time ever out of town family holiday.

Will post later on ^^/

Ocean Dream / Gelanggang Samudra - Ancol Jakarta - A Playdate with Matt

Early Morning I got a blackberry message from Renny (Matt's Mom), she asked whether I would like to joined her visit Gelanggang Samudra - Ocean Dream Samudra - Taman Impian Jaya Ancol.
Due to the festive month, Ancol offered 50% discount from 16 July 2012 to 16 August 2012.
Click here for the flyer from Katalog Promosi.

Worse thing come when I forgot my Mobile phone, not once left in my purse.
In this era, where mobile phone connecting people everywhere, that means, I'm in trouble. How can I kept contact with Renny.
I'm only said that I will wait in front of the gate, while there were two gates.
Anyway, I kept my faith that we will meet somehow.

We arrived by Taxi on 10.30 and let Josh played near the main gate (at the bus stop). After 30 minutes, I decided to took Transit Bus from the Main Gate to Ocean Dream. Since the bus stop on each attraction place, took me around 30 minutes to arrived.

When we arrived, fuih, we finally met, Renny has been patient waiting for me also (both of us wait on the different gate). Anyway, whatever happen, I'm glad that we could finally met.

Josh inside the Transit Bus. Clean and feel comfort.
I guess during normal season, shall be full of passengers.

We started with watching 4D turtle movie. I forgot the title. But Josh and Matt, both of them sit quietly with open wide eyes starred to the screen.

While waiting for 4D movie, we took a shot

After the 4D movie, we took lunch near the area. Harya (Renny's husband) took care of Matt and Josh while both of mommies enjoyed eating.
I saw matt is a very active boy, enthusiastic, and curious about everything. Josh find his spare mate, therefore they keep running all over the place.

See the twin on the shoes and water bottle

Next destination, we saw the Bird and Sea Lion (Ok, I'm mixed between seal and lion sea. I thought that animal is same, but what I found out, It's different. Correct me if I'm wrong ^^).

While wait for the show, Josh played with other

Thirsty Josh

Kids, stand in the front. (it's prohibited actually :p)

Matt felt asleep and Renny took him out from the attraction place to duck pool side. See both of them enjoyed seeing the swimming ducky ^^.

Josh and Matt enjoyed the ducky pool.

We end up our day, saw the Dolphin attraction (we saw the last 5 minutes), But yet, we still have the chance to watched dolphin whip out of water several time. The last attraction must be the climax ^^.

Both kids seem to tired, we decided to end up our date. Later on, Daddy pick us on Matt's house.

Tips:
- Check the Schedule of the Show. (I have checked through internet, but somehow, it could change, better called next time). If you bring small kids, while show time, don't sit in middle of crowd, just choose the front seat or the other side area, anticipate if the kids get cranky.
- Bring the Kid's food and lot of Water.
- Bring spare cloth.
- A Stroller help a lot ^^. Must bring if you have.
