sampai sebesar apapun nak,
aku menggendongmu dalam hatiku

no matter how big you've grown dear child
I'll carry you in my heart

Diambil waktu kita lagi santai dirumah,
tau2 sikunyil ngeliat selendang yg dulu pernah dipake buat ngegendong dia,
dia bilang 'mama-mama, gendong aku dong!'
Udah umur 4 tahun, 16 kilo, cukup butuh perjuangan buat ngiket selendangnya,
dan karena kita ketawa2, ngakak berduaan, tambah susahlah proses gendong menggendong ini,


Taken when we just have an ordinary time at home, suddenly she saw her 'selendang', the one who use to cradle her when she was a baby, "mom, carry me, carry me!' 4 years old, 16 kg, yes it needs a struggle to carry her between weight and hysterically laugh and giggle but at least we made it, no make up, no dress up, just an ordinary moment between mother and baby- well in my eyes she still my baby always- and an everlasting happiness etched in my heart that day! :)

Hiii... long time no see, I just feel to lazy to write nowadays, still keep up with all the works, I'll tell you about my recent works later.., now I just feel to rest a little bit, tell you what's going on the house lately, we do a lot of game, origami, drawing, and cooking..

:: this is a little conversation about 'getting bigger- or smaller.."

• mommy, why it is so hard to hide in this box now..?
• dear, you're getting bigger now..
• no,I think the box is getting smaller mom - *grumble*..

Now that school has begun it is a little bit difficult for us to find a time to go outdoor and play in the morning, still, we manage to do a little time together

Mika still like to copying what I do, mostly drawing :), and she did a little duckie together with a flowery balloon, this is taken after I have finished my IF entry


















Learning about color combination and shape making. This puzzle pattern things is one of her favorite, making the pattern with different position and many alternatives sure can put her into her own time.. :)


















and Grandma accompany her with such an amazed look, seeing the two generation in one same position is such an interesting objects for me, with many different point of view and so many things to learn from both :)

Hey you authors out there:

This website is a great way to find out if your books have been nominated for state children's choice awards.

They sell sets of each state's books. I've found out about quite a few nominations before my publisher did.

As a matter of fact, I just found out that Taking Care of Moses is on the 2008-2009 Iowa Children's Choice Award list and How to Steal a Dog is on the 2008-2009 South Carolina Book Award list.
