Good thing also happen on Hard time

Last Friday, we got not a good news. Father in Law was hospitalized due to abnormal heart rhythm (Heart Arrhythmia). He stayed one night on ICU and his condition get better than move to the patient room.

Till now, the doctor haven't really determined what the exact root cause. The heart it self was on good condition through several test, but the beat it self was abnormal. So right now Calvin's dad need to consume some medicine to make his heart rate beat normally.

On this hard time for both of our family, we also realized that we getting closer - that's the good thing ^^/.
Of course you can getting closer also in happy moment hehehe.
We being teaches to be thankful in hard and good time.

Anyway, pray for the best.

Yes, we used BCA card to brought the ticket.

We buy the "Utama" class ticket, cause the Platinum, VVIP and VIP are sold out. We quite surprise that the higher ticket price sold out first :p.

IDR 500.000,- for 4 person worth it!

2 hours performance time (15minutes break).

More than 10 shows (forgot to count it hahaha), represent 7 countries.

It's a live show! And really let you wondering where the limit of human being.

Can you imagine how many years of tears they gone when mastering their skill till ready to perform on stage.

I love how they interact with the audience. Really fun ^^/

Before the show

Before the show, once it's started all seat full.

Now a little tips:

1. Book the ticket, On the day come earlier to exchange the ticket. (weekdays more comfortable and no queuing). The door opened 30 minutes before the show.

2. I suggest 2 years old toddler for really enjoying the show. Josh felt in love with it, he want to watch it again and asked daddy to brought another ticket :p. Taking a nap before the show really help out (check the schedule).

3. Bring water and small food with you, on the break time you will want to snack lil bit ^^.

4. Don't forgot to pee first! a long queuing on the nearest rest room.

4. Pocket camera won't really capture a good picture, cause the bright light inside the arena. 

So just enjoyed the show ^^ ( I took lil bit of the beginning and ending show ^^)

Still owe the story and list of medicine of the 5th chemotherapy.

Anyway, the last chemo really make us curious what will be the result.
Since this was the last chemo on the 1st cycle, my mom barely complaint of anything.
She just gone through it, even with lot's of pain.

Stable disease - Partial Remission - that my mom condition right now.
The Cancer cell still there, not growing yet not shrinking.
One month from now, we could have a PET Scan for confirming result.

Honestly, I didn't want put too much expectation. That's why, I still wait for the PET Scan result to ensuring what we will do next.
My mom have a neuropathy side effect, damage on her sensory nerve where she felt numbness and tingling on her hand and foot. Hope it's was temporary.

That's what I could share right now. Hope she could feel better.
Me and Mom with lil Josh will watch circus tomorrow ^^/ to entertain our self. Will share about this :)

Pomelo (Jeruk Bali) Boat Creation

My MIL brought Jeruk Bali from market and woww it's taste so sweat and I haven't had one for a long time.

Then the day after, I got 7 Jeruk Bali left beside the refrigerator WOW.

For a week later, I ate Jeruk Bali all day, good my mom like it, so share with my mom also.

I didn't know when we (Indonesia) called it Jeruk Bali, where there is no relation with Bali (one of Island in Indonesia). Cause it's familiar with Jeruk Bali name instead of Pomelo, I will continue called it Jeruk Bali.

Now, it's come to creativity time, what will you do with the Jeruk Bali's skin.

I heard that long ago, before we have so many toys, people play with Jeruk Bali's skin.

They made car, hat, etc.

So here what we do:

A Hat?

A Boat and sing "Row your Boat or Sailing Home or other song..."

Have a great weekend play date with our kids.

Bubble Tea

From last year, so many bubble tea shop established here.
I barely brought it till my sista told me to try it out and I kinda love it. Today bubble tea is differs from before, you can set your sugar and ice level.
Josh asked us to let him try and since then, he love it also. Whenever he look at the bubble tea shop, he will stop by and asked us to buy it. oooo nooo... We play run away game to distract him ^^/

Cause my son love it, I can't help except to search the recipe how to made it at home.
Josh help me along with the process like get the starch, put the water,make the bubble and boil it with me.
I used sosro tea bag, UHT white milk, made Jelly and the boba.
For the boba, need to improve it, but lot of better from last time hahaha.

Here our baby boy enjoy the bubble milk tea.

P.S. It's doesn't mean I always want to busy my self with something I can just brought it anywhere,
but simply make it with my boy, I just want to show him that I love him and willing to take my time making something for him. ^^

Josh 2.75 years old ^^ - 3rd Quarter

Know the opposite

ask and answer question:

Josh: Papa dimana?
Ma: Papa dimana?
Josh: Papa hilang!
Ma: Hilang?
Josh: Papa Kerja.
Ma: Iya nak, Papa kerja di kantor.

Lagi perjalanan pulang dari supermarket:
Josh: Ma, mana stoberi apel nya? (snack)
Ma: Itu di toko, tadi Josh tidak mau pilih yang itu.
Josh: potato di mobil (snack potato yang dipilihnya ada di mobil)
Ma dalam hati: wow, sudah tahu penempatan ternyata :p

Lagi mau telepon Grandpa:
Ma: Josh nanti tanya akong dimana yah?
Telepon tersambung:
Josh: Akong, coklat mana? (Grandpa selalu identik dengan coklat)

Suka iseng dan menggelitik sekarang. Buah dari kita suka mengelitik dia juga :p.

PR terbesar:
Kalo Josh sudah upset, dia bisa pukul or ngamuk.
So far, kalo  masih dalam batas, aku peringatkan.
Luar batas sedikit, berdiri di pojokan
Sangat keterlaluan, aku pukul pantat nya Josh supaya dia merasa bahwa itu sakit.

Selain itu sekarang aku  suka repeat:
Sayang mama? Yes/ Good sambil angkat jempolnya
Pukul mama? No sambil waving tangannya
Kiss kiss mama? Yes/ Good sambil angkat jempolnya.

Ma: Josh, apa yang boleh di pukul?
Josh: Pukul Ball.
Jadi sebenarnya Josh tahu mana yang boleh dan tidak, hanya saja self controlnya masih dalam pembelajaran.

Selain itu, aku suka baca cerita baik itu bible story ataupun cerita lainnya, sambil bercerita sambil terus mengingatkan hal yang baik untuk dilakukan.

Since most of my brother's colours paint was dry, I can only used white, majority in yellow and green ^^.
