Dating with Josh - Movie time - Cinemaxx Junior

During one week mid semester holiday, We try this out. Cinemaxx Junior.

The first cinema for kids.

A good chance as we haven't watched the movie played on "Kungfu Panda 3".

It's become my dating time with him.

Oh, there was egg hunting activity, and who got 5different colour could win 1million cinemaxx voucher.

Hmmm Josh just got 4 colour, so a water bottle become the prize.

Josh was having fun. At first he didn't dare to try to slide. After the first try with me, he enjoy it and get courage for the next :).

In the middle of movie time, a child cry, and the sound system suddenly turn lower then return back to normal after a while.

It's not to dark and colourful.

If you want to leave the kids, there were 12 camera, you can monitor their activity beside the ticket cashier area.

Another memories with my son. Love you.

Ant and Josh

I always said to Josh that we shall caring for God's creature.
Josh knew that all animal created by God.

Yesterday night, after dinner, Josh didn't put the plate on sink. Then, a bariccade of ant surround the plate.
I came and took it, then used a wet napkin, swept all the ant.

There one ant left, and Josh's reaction surprise me.
Mom, you shouldn't kill the ant.
The ant left alone now. Mom, you kills the other..
Josh start to cry. He protect the last ant survive, and blame me for the condition.
He said, ant is God's creature, we shall take care of them.

Hmmm... mom said sorry to Josh.
Ok, next time mom will move them back to their place.
And how about you clean your dirty plate, so the ant won't come into the table.

Josh agreed, he stop crying and he keep looking at the last ant.

To explain more about "rule over all the creatures" according to Genesis, will be very challenging.

6 Years old to be Josh, Pho-Pho, and Whatsapp Messenger

Today on the way back home, 
Josh asked me, Mom, did Pho-pho stay at our house now?
Mom: No Josh, Pho-pho stayed in Jelambar.
Josh: Why? Why Pho-pho didn't stay at our house. I want Pho-pho to stay with us, in our house.

Mom still on driving,: Ok Josh, how about you called Pho-pho and said it directly to her.

Josh took my phone, but instead of calling, he did text messaging.
I didn't realize it till he said to me. This the first time he did it and it's initiated
by him self.

Josh: Mom, I write to Pho-pho. I can write now. But why pho-pho didn't reply me.

Mom still on surprise: Wow Josh, you can texting now. Ok, just asked pho-pho why there was no reply.
Josh continue the texting.

Unfortunately, there was no reply until we arrived home.
But suddenly Pho-pho called, I think she also surprise to get message from her grandson.
They both chat in the phone.

Later Pho-pho reply the message and Josh shout to me: Mom see, I got reply from Pho-pho.

Now, Josh got to enjoy the messaging. 
I have struggling to explain the usage of the phone to him. But nowdays, when he can read and write, it's become another tools for him to practice and he really happy with it of course when we used it wisely.

At Night, he continue to texting daddy. He used to called, but seem Josh feel excited with the new experience. Every word come from his own. Feel touch when he text to Daddy that God will take care of Daddy.

Family Fun Day - Taman Safari

Yeay, Finally could have a short trip with my family.

This happen during Josh's one week mid term holiday.

Together with my sista, my nephew (bennet), mom and Josh, we have fun in Taman Safari Indonesia.

Choose the place, as it's family friendly, hope for the fresh air, could learn about nature and animal, and the distance is bearable :).

Hmm after all, I almost lost my bag, I left it on the chair. Fortunately, there still honest people who return it to the guard.

Here some picture. At the end of the day, the rain poured.

Bennet reaction was so funny, cry, point to the animal, keep grumble, etc.

While Josh, he could asked lot question, enjoy it.

Our mom keep smiling and laughing on her funny grandsons.

Love it.

Thanks God for giving us time and will treasure it.

I took above picture with one try. While the one taken by my sista need couple of minute, and my sista laughing at me, saying the penguin must really dislike me and keep a distance from me. Spot the difference?! ☺

Dinner with my Best friend

After a long wait, finally today I could visit her new home after marriage blessing.

Plan to cook something, end up only preparing the green salad hehehe. (Miscalculating my time).

Talk and talk and I love it.

One memorable moment, when Josh want to start dinner and I asked all of us to pray together.
First, I asked Ivan to pray for us. Suddenly Josh said, yes, the head of family. (As the head of family shall lead us to pray). And he continued said that there were 2 head of family (calvin n Ivan). When Yohana asked Josh, who shall pray then?. Josh answered: my daddy of course.
It's time for daddy to be an example for Josh, as the head of family, Daddy lead us to pray.
When your children already point out the right thing to do, don't make excuse but be an example.
It's quite fun when daddy couldn't asked mom to pray xixixi.

Forgot to took a picture. Next time shall take one for our memory.

Wait for the next dinner hehehe.

Mellow March

March always remind me of him.
Instead of my wedding anniversary or Calvin birthday, my mind seem to flash back about the first time I receive his call from Malang, to let me know his condition and, how I met him at the airport and it's shocking me. How I tried to hide his illness from my mom, and arrange for doctor, and try to keep everything normal.

I couldn't tell it to a person, cause sometime people misunderstand me, that I couldn't move on.
But, It's just me, sometime I could sit back and my mind just flying back to my old memories.

Hmmm, but, this year 2016 March, I have another memories about the Sovereignty of God.
Why it's happen in March? For I know, God is good.

Morning Car Talk with Daddy

Saat melewati papan Iklan SMS, Josh melihat permainan House of Trap.
Josh: Pa, House of Trap itu keren loo..
Pa: Tapi nanti permainannya gelap loo Josh.
Josh: Tak apa Pa, Nanti sebelum masuk, aku berdoa dulu.
