"Bunda, bunda kok tambah gendut sih?" *pukpuk perut* "Tuh kan, ... enak kaya bantal. Aaaa... Titan pengen bobo di perut Bunda ajaaaa" *boboan*

I love you and ...

... I am blessed that you are loved by many people too. Well, as we know it, you got [krey-zee] about Titanic for the past months as you wrote here. Hence, you do not need to figure-out how people know about this current fetish of yours :) Because sometimes, to know someone is not always through the words they say. But rather through what they showed to people. Yet you showed us your titanic drawings. Your titanic lego. Your history path on our YouTube (keyword: Titanic sinking ship). And they were how we know how much you mad about the maiden cruise of Titanic. Thanks to Tante @dialita who found the book for you. She even gave you her Titanic exhibition ticket (no Malicca, she did not survived from the lifeboat like you thought *LOL) So by all means, you should be grateful for your life. For the people around you. Because you were loved. By many. Remember that, always.

a love letter

Dear Malicca, you have been giving me things all along. Start from your paintings, drawings, stories you made yourself or letters. Today, I got another letter from you. But of all letters you gave me, this one is a bit different. I felt this one is more ... personal. It was like you wrote it from the bottom of your heart. It was like you were telling me how disappointed you were (because I left you to the office), ... but you loved me nevertheless (I knew it from your closing lines). Terima kasih ya sayang, and one thing for sure; I never felt a single bit of boredom taking care of you and your little sister. You are my children. It is just sometimes, ... or many times, mom got to do what mom got to do. And you will know, those are all for you. I love you nonetheless!

Thank you (again) my son

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you may remember  my post  about what i thought was wrong about rising a kid. Yet the hypothesis is proven day by day.  This time, I am challenged to be a better mom. A better person, by enhancing my listening skill which I thought I am good enough. But one night, I realized that mine was poor.  I may have listened to what my friends shared. I may have listened good or bad news. I may have listened to what the universe said. Or my heart. But listening to a little kid, bragging about one thing over and over and over again, that is the particular part I need to elaborate (now I sound like an Account Servicing, using the word ‘elaborate’).  Who doesn’t want to have a kid with a good listening skill? Not only it will bring them to a nice circle of friendship, good listening skill also brings kids to a better cognitive development. Because only with good listening skill, kids can digest the direction given before they do their worksheet at school. But

Papa

for a hundred times you told me you want to be a papa when you grow up. and today, also for the several times, i asked you why. and here was what you said. " So I can protect you, Bunda.  And I can go to work to the office so you don't have to go to work anymore. "  aduh, terharu mendengarnya.

let's call it a night

Tulisan ini bukan urban legend, tapi bukan juga realitas eksakta. pengalaman ini semata-mata asumsi yang subjektif sifatnya. tapi malam ini saya belajar, bahwa saya harus lebih berhati-hati lagi dalam berkata-kata. karena kata adalah doa. dan bahwa doa di hari arafah adalah sebaik-baiknya doa, yang makbul untuk dikabulkan.  dan malam ini, adalah malam di hari idul adha. saya, titan, luna dan ariawan lagi santai-santai di kamar anak-anak di atas. setelah hampir tujuh tahun kamar itu kosong, akhirnya kini menjadi 'sanctuary'  kami. setiap habis makan malam, pasti kami santai-santai di sana. gogoleran, browsing, membaca buku cerita hingga akhirnya anak-anak pun tertidur. begitu juga malam itu. bedanya, kami gogoleran mulai lewat maghrib karena makan malam masih disiapkan. saya sedang asyik bermain-main bayangan tangan sama luna. di usinya yang tepat tiga bulan ini, ternyata matanya sudah sangat fokus memperhatikan beragam bentuk tangan di tirai kamar yang kebetulan berwar

... these were what happened to my life. home, backyard, family & friends, new place, new experience, more children books, oh I can do this everyday. I'm gonna master it for sure hahaha

Perfect Timing

Image
Dear Malicca,  one day you will learn there is no such a thing as perfect timing.  One day, you will also learn that it is not about waiting for the perfect time;  but it is all about how to make time.  Today is my last day of my 3 months maternity leave and today is your Student Lead Conference for term 1. It means, tomorrow I am going back to work as well as you will start having your holiday. Yes, again having your holiday without me. But with all your plans on how you will spend your holiday, I am sure we will have good time for the time we will make :) Anyways, You did a good job for your presentation at SLC. Have some homework to catch up, of course. That would be reducing your day dreaming in the middle of lessons and learn harder for number operation and place value for math subject. Anyways (again), There was a slice of smile for what happen today at school. I said to you previously to attend only your main presentation and not to take tour to your special subject
