Moving back home

So life is not always perfect or well-planned. We supposed to live in HK for about 2-3 years, but now, after living here 1,5 year, we have to move back to Jakarta. In a sudden. That's what happened if you work in a company full of expats. Due to remanagement, in just 2 weeks, Toni had to be in Jkt to start working. Well, it's gonna be 2 more weeks till i leave HK. I'm trying to make the best out of it, going places I've never been. So I've been having trouble to update my dear blog, since my mom also came here (with my aunt) to replace uda as my companion till moving day, that also needed me to take them around. So technically, i don't have time to check the web. But, practically, I steal time once in a while, he he...

Happy 3rd birthday Wina!

la la la... wina is 3 years old now! Horrraaayyy......

It's not the perfect birthday so far. Ayah wasn't around, Wina keep tangling on me becoz of the new room mates at home (mama*her grandma* and nenek Ayu), and it's a little bit raining here and there.

So, first i planned for a barbeque birthday party in our club house. Uda rejected the idea, becoz he didn't want to spend HK$2500 for a party that he can't attend. Plan B, we can rent a school playground for HK$1000 (cake not include). I like this idea, but again, a lot of money for a party that Ayah cannot attend, will he let us? Naaaaahh.... no way!

So finally we settled with having the birthday party at her school. Wina go to 2 schools, so we celebrated her birthday twice, with 2 different groups & different cakes. With the cakes and the take away gifts, still much more to save than the first 2 plans.

I thought, kids would LOVE birthday parties. I haven't seen any kids that's not happy with a birthday. And now i do. Wina cried all along in her celebration, both! It was disasters. Every time she saw me, she cried, holding my skirt tight, won't let me go even for a sec (and i was the cameraman). Uuuurrrgghh, it was so annoying! I almost lost my temper. If i walked just a little bit, she blowed her tears right out. When everybody finished singing the birthday song, she cried even louder! haha, i can't hold my laughter here... She won't blow the candles, didn't eat the cake, no smiling, full of tears, she wasn't happy at all. OMG, it was horrible.

So, let this be a memory to remember : "Wina's Crappy 3rd birthday"
