love overloaded

i can NOT believe my little sissie is getting married tomorrow! took these pics yesterday of her and her fiance. i cried!!! can you believe it? i cried!!!!! for some reason there's this rush of memories came to my head when i saw her in that wedding dress.... the time when i visit her first time just after she was born, the time when she pushed me on my tricyle, the time when we were in New Zealand together, everything.... and now... she's all grown up ready to be married!

i am ever so proud of her. love love love her. i wish her and her hubby to be all the greatest thing God can give them! xoxoxoxo

4months.

i can't believe how fast 4 months has gone. here is my little prince with his great grandad in my parent's car spare parts shop. ah he's such a delight

animal market.

welcome to the animal market of Jogjakarta. this is a new market, supposedly cleaner than the last one. hahaha. not that i know.... crazy place. there's lots of owls, big lizards that makes crazy noise, birds, puppies (with their fleas), cats, rabbits, bats, turtles, you name it!

makes me wonder what these people do to catch them.

ps. i so want a bunny!!!!! nearly bought one. haha my dad would freak out. our house is a zoo already

a date with my dad and sisters

i think its gonna be a long time until we do this next time... since my sis is gonna get married, and we all live so far away from each other. i love these dates.

we went out searching for dinner (normal thing to do for indo ppl) at about 8.30pm...
and so here we came to a little local restaurant for some indo fried rice and noodles. yummmm
i even got the shot of the owner sitting by his restaurant waiting for his place to shut at night. we might be his last customer.

Bon appetite!

and i will be bringing some indo photos soon soon soon! can't wait to take mr. Ay-Jay for a ride around Jogja! weeeee

THE family pet :: hedgehog

did i tell you my mom has a pet hedgehog? of course... amongst all other pets she has.... dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish... what else.... yes, a hedgehog! he doesn't get out of my lens box that much, but he's so so cute. when you hold him to see his face, he just hid his head in and put his nose out. too too cute!

ps. yes.... my house in Indonesia is abit of a zoo.

things you didn't count in.

when you're holidaying and eating tons and tons of yummy food.
Your child got food poisoning.... not just any food poisoning... really really really bad food poisoning.
sigh. breaks my heart. little princess had to stay in the hospital and got an iv drip put in cos she ran out of fluid. gosh. just in time...

she's all good now and home. hooray! xo
thank you for all the prayers and texts... we felt so loved. and tave did too.

Hello Jogja

here i am. finally at home. to those of you who asked how my trip was... it was unbelieveably easy. I don't know why i was so worried. Both kiddies were awesome and so easy. before i knew it, 10 hours flight came around so quickly. although i wish i finished my movie before Benjamin needed another feed during the flight.

Just wanted to share with you some of the images i got from home. some of them are mom's dogs (can you believe she's got more than 10 dogs around her home), an inside view from mom n dad's car spare parts shop, a food lady who came to our shop and we just picked food from her little cart thing and a trip my sisters and i took with Cynthia's in law to the mushroom restaurant. fun fun fun. til then, let me take some more pics and post some here.
