Toddler : Christmas and New Year Holiday

Yaaaay!!!!

We are really enjoying the year end holiday. We didn't do much at home and we spent the days by going out, to the malls and out from the city.

Gramedia, Grand Indonesia

They held 30% discount for all the things. We didn't want to miss it! We went there and tried to get some books. The place was so chaos, the books were everywhere. We couldn't walk without stepping the books. The most was in the children books' area.

I got 4 Barney's books, a Cars book, a bilingual Animals Tales Collection book, 2 Barney's movie and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse's movie.

Pluit Village

Oma wanted to buy some new clothes, we went to Matahari. Fritz got an orange T-shirt.

After that, Fritz was feeling so hungry and he said "mamam" for many times to show that he was so starving.

Finally he got his fried noodle at Mr.Baso restaurant. Looks so amazing that he can show his will now!

When we went home, the wind blew very hard and the r

ain was pouring so heavily after that. What a bad weather it was!

Bogor

We spent one day at Bogor.

We went in the morning to Sentul to find a medical place for Opa at Puncar Mt. It was a rocky road which took more than one hour and more than 30km to reach that place. When we arrived, Opa really couldn't step down.

Actually, for normal people, who can walk steadily, it is a nice place to visit as it is a natural hot water place. We can play with the hot water in the pool that they have made it. It's really like in Ciater, Bandung.

After that, we went forward to Bogor city. We did culinary trip. We had ngohiang for lunch, then we bought asinan, roti unyil and es durian. After that we went to Tajur to see bag factory, SKI. I bought a purple Kipling bag for carrying Fritz's things, cost 130.000 rupiah

.

It's was so tired trip as we were spending lots of time in the car. However, we really had so much fun!

New Year's Eve

After few years, we always spent the eve with friends or relatives's places, this year we have to feel happy spending the eve only at home with Oma, Opa and Uncle.

Fritz was helping to cut some strawberries

Going to Opa Greg's house

In the last holiday, we spent a day at Opa Greg's house in Citra 5. Together with ii Ling2 and Om Tito, we had lots of chit chat with Pork Siomay in the hands while Fritz and Opa was taking nap together in the separated room.

In the afternoon, the couple took us to a restaurant to have some meals. We had Mie Sop Ayam, e-mie and nasi perang.
