Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

 

It has been a busy week for me and my family.

After receiving our sea cargo from Indonesia, it took days for us to check and get all the items out of the boxes. It has been awfully long as we sent the items since November 2021 and they arrived in the beginning of March 2022. Surely it's one of the longest cargo shipments I had since Melbourne, Geneva and New York! Apparently the combination of COVID-19, lack of shipment heading to New Zealand and the Pacific areas as well as long procedures made us wait too long for our items. 

Unfortunately, the liftvan we had was somehow broken on its way here and some boxes got dampen from water. I was so sad to see some hand woven items, shoes and clothes were either broken or very moldy due to this. I have one of my tenun bags being demolished with the mold and my purple Gucci bag got some patches of mold as well. Not to mention some other bags and shoes. We also have to wash and dry clean so many items from the boxes as they have this unpleasant aroma. It was quite a I am calculating all these damages and will definitely claim for the insurance.

On the bright sight, I had the chance to visit more cities in the North Island, namely Hastings, Napier and Hawke's Bay. We had series of meetings with the Mayor of Hastings, as well as business associates and Indonesian communities based in this area. It's always interesting to see the new places and learn more about its history as well as its ties with my country and my people. Too bad it was raining when we were there and we were not at the liberty to explore this charming city on foot. but for sure I am more than happy to go back there again.

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie World and Friends

one beautiful day in Wellington

February continues and I have to admit that I am feeling a bit tired with the work load we have lately. Well, nothing new though. I have been dealing with more urgent issues previously so I am kind of managing the time and concentration in the office and at home. Well, hanging there, Indah, you'll nail it!

Meanwhile, in New Zealand, particularly in Wellington, we have the ongoing protest regarding the anti-government vaccine mandates. We have hundreds of people gather in from of the parliament in Wellington, protesting about this. They have stayed for about 17 days, which is one of the longest mass demonstrations held here. It gets violent lately with classes with police happened several times. It has been very distressful for many, especially those who are attending their offices, schools or business around the area. 

The noises, the harassment (some protesters yelled at people passing by and asked them to open their masks and even spitted and threw things), the fear of infection and many more make us hope that this issue is properly handled. I am confident that the Government will do what it takes to put everything back to normal again.

On a brighter note, my new Ambassador, H.E. Fientje Maritje Suebu, has presented her Letter of Credence to the Governor - General of New Zealand, H.E. The Rt Hon Dame Cindy Kiro at her beautiful residence on 22nd of February 2022. 

Her Excellency delivered her remarks

I was honored and priviledge to join Her Excellency entourage during this special day, together with my colleague from protocol division and the defence Attache. It was a wonderful and historical day indeed.

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Welcoming February on colors!

February is soon coming and we certainly have a lot on our plates, when it comes to works.

Welcome to T2 Wellington

But before heading to that subject, I just have to tell you that I have been falling in love with T2, one of the tea shops in New Zealand. Besides the fact that it provides incredible teas from around the world, including from Indonesia, this place has an awesome collection of tea wares and I am talking about those cute cups, tea pots, tea for one or two, mugs, mug with infuser, tea spoon, tumblers and more. I guess I will definitely have a dedicated post for that!. So far, I managed to snatch 2 sets of cups and tea pot for one, all in purple hues. Good thing it comes in sales! God know when I will visit that place again. More likely soon LOL.

Aren't they all cute!

The new Ambassador, H.E. Madame Fientje Maritje Suebu, will be officially submitting her Letter of Credence to the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief on New Zealand soon. We are super excited to welcome the new Ambassador, especially since the previous Ambassador, H.E. Tantowi Yahya has left Aotearoa on the last week of December 202. We are also so proud that Ambassador Suebu is the first female Ambassador originating from Papua province and she is such a seasoned diplomat who has been stationed in many parts of the world.

On the personal side, both our kids have been admitted to the school we have been aiming. Bo will go to Wellington College and Obi will be in the normal school near the office. Again, we are super excited as well and now we are making sure that the kids will get their school supplies, including uniforms for Bo and all the complete set of it. Good thing we have everything just a click away and the school supplies have been listed according to the kids' level. Very convenient indeed.

Anyway, we had so much fun last weekend. As we celebrated the Wellington Anniversary day on January 24th, Monday is off here in New Zealand and we went outdoorsy on Saturday and Monday. We walked again at Rimutaka Crossing and headed to Lavender Abbey in Casterton, where we had our late lunch picnic under the trees. Then we stopped by at Kaitoke Regional Park to cool down at the Pakuratahi river where the kids dipped in the cool water for a while before heading home. Then after one full Sunday off, we hiked in Sky view Walk near our house for almost 2 hours and we really enjoyed it. Super tiring for sure but the day was just beautiful and we kind of got lost in the woods. Quite an experience with the kids!

But now, let's join us on Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. Ready? Jump in!
