Wonderful Wednesday with Oh My Heartsie Girl



Wonderful Wednesday is hereeee...
It's been a super busy week for me and my family.
On Thanksgiving, I was on my  way back home from Geneve. Almost missed the flight home because the airline was slightly delayed to Geneve and if I took the same flight, I would surely miss my connecting flight in Istanbul. But they managed to get the substituted and I was detoured via Frankfurt and safely arrived at home on the Thanksgiving night. 
It's good to be back home again :)
On the weekend,  we managed to go out and visit Paterson, a city on New Jersey, around 50 minutes drive from NYC. We went to the Paterson Great Fall and here are some pics we took there...

the Great Fall of Paterson..

such a soothing view :)


feeling so blessed to be able to be with my family :)

Pengumuman Pemenang Giveaway #finishthefight #gopink #breastcancerawareness

Haiiii semuaaa..

Dearest friends..

At the outset, saya mohon maaf kalau pengumuman ini lamaaaaa baru saya publish
Alasan klasik tentunya saya yang tidak pandai mengatur waktu dan kewalahan sendiri dengan segala tugas yang harus saya kerjakan. Ternyata lari sana lari sini dan berjuang melawan jetlag membuat saya harus menunda banyak hal, termasuk pengumuman ini. Maafkan yaaaa ..




Tak terhingga terima kasih saya untuk semua teman-teman yang telah membantu kampanye kanker payudara lewat tulisan, foto dan berbagai media yang telah dishare di blog maupun media sosial teman-teman. Keren-keren lhooo...ada yang berbentuk infografis, foto, cerita pengalaman pribadi dan keluarga, aneka tips dan trik hidup sehat, ide sederhana untuk menyebarkan informasi mengenai kanker, sampai postingan dalam bahasa asing.  Bahkan ada beberapa teman yang mengirimkan lebih dari satu artikel. Wooow... I really appreciate all of them!

I have nothing else to say but thank you, thank you so very much for the attention and the endless support you all have shown me.

Untuk waktu yang telah diluangkan
Untuk cinta, cita, cerita juga duka yang dituangkan
Untuk ide-ide baik dan kreativitas yang ditunjukkan
Untuk saling mengingatkan dan menguatkan
Untuk niat baik yang sama-sama kita perjuangkan.

Nothing makes me feel better than knowing that I am not alone in this fight

Let's #finishthefight !

Semoga semakin banyak yang paham akan bahaya kanker payudara dan langkah-langkah yang bisa diambil untuk mencegahnya. Plus pengobatan yang bisa dilakukan untuk membuang sel-sel kanker dari tubuh kita.

Mudah-mudahan apa yang telah kita tulis dan sebarkan di blog bisa memberi harapan dan ketegaran untuk terus berjuang bagi mereka yang tengah berjuang. Membantu memberi ketetapan hati untuk selalu hidup sehat dan mensyukuri semua yang diberikan oleh-Nya.

Aaah.. You guys rock!

Central Park in autumn

I have to admit that Central Park is one of my favorite spots here in the Big Apple.

Well... Who wouldn't love Central Park?

One sunny day...

Lines of green lush trees, climbing rocks for kids and adults to enjoy, squirrels running around carefreely and the charming landscapes are only a few perks you can enjoy in this New Yorkers' dearest spot. Not to mention several incredible museums you can visit and enjoy here, like American Museum of Natura History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The park is very accessible, too. Public transport is available on the West or East side of the park. I usually take subway line B and C for the West side and line 4,5, and 6 for the East Side. We can have the connection from Grand Central or Times Square. Check mta.com for the complete subway map and timetable. With some short extra walks, you will easily arrive here. 

And autumn just simply makes everything looks even more and more beautiful. As ever.

Last year, during this time, I was so occupied with my chemotherapy. Frequent trips to the clinic, drastic changes in my physical appearances, heavily reduced mobility and lingering discomforts accompanied me as Fall besotted NYC last year. How I missed going out and enjoying the nature's beauty but I have to concentrate on my treatment at that time.

But hey... Here I am now. 
Feeling much, much better than before. Happily finishing my procedures and treatments while trying to go back to my normal life.

And wonderful Fall is coming to town again. Rendering its magical feeling as red and gold hues painted the leaves and trees.


How my heart sings.

So, this autumn, I simply don't wanna miss the vibe. 
And Central Park is on top of the list.  For sure, it looks even more wonderful than ever. And blessfully, NYC is surprisingly warm.

We stroll around  Central Park West, near the jogging track surrounding the Reservoir and around the Gothic Bridge.  Here are some snaps I took with my iPhone in one lovely Saturday. Just before this beautiful fall slipping away.

You know how big Central Park is. 
I have shared many parts of the Park here in this blog before, like the Mall and the pond as well as Bethesda Fountain.
We usually go the East side but this time we strolled around the West Part. And it is as beautiful as any part of the Park.

Feel blessed, always..

the signature hues of fall...


the Gothic Bridge


some more pics from our Saturday walk


How I feel so blessed for all the great things my Rabb has bestowed upon me and my family. Alhamdulillah...

Obi et Bapak..

Spending some quality time with my loved ones is another blessing that I continue to be grateful for. It feels like a strong medicine for my heart and soul. 

Daddy's girl...

For sure, autumn is a special time for me and my family. 
I hope you all have a great time as well during this beautiful season.



Sunset over Istanbul Sky

I was drop dead tired when I boarded Turkish airlines for the second leg of my trip to Geneve. 
Stroling around the historical city for nearly 7 hours really knocked me out. 
But as we took and flew high, my eyes were feasted with the setting sun.

sunset is here..

Truly a breathtaking beauty from above...

look at that golden part of the sky..

I was lucky I managed to see this perfect time of the day to see the golden sky in front of my very eyes. I took my iPhone immediately and took some pictures.


Did you see the lining of the water underneath us?

using my fisheye lens, the view looks uniquesly beuatiful..

Enjoy more fantastic views of the sky from many corners of the world on 

Have a fabulous weekend, everyone..


Bo et Obi's Open School Week

Last week was Bo et Obi's open school week. As usual, parents are invited to come to school and observe the kids at their class for one hour. Udi and I certainly don't wanna miss it :).



So last Wednesday we went to Obi's class to join others in this ocassion. They were drawing Thanksgiving-related items and coloring them. And Obi chose to draw her purple-and-orange turkey.

gobble, gobble..

In Obi's music class, the kids learned a new song. I forget to ask the title >_< but it's about the hunter walking in the forrest and shooting his arrow to the air. Mrs. Robinson, the music teacher, mimed it and the kids try to guess what is in the lyrics.


We got to meet Lulu as well, the singing giraffe in the class :).

say hi to Lulu :)

It was fun for the kids indeed.
And also us, the parents :).

On Friday, it was Bo's turn.

As for Bo's class, they were working on the latest chapter on their social studies book, about the lives of native Americans. They were making the traditional bird feeder inspired by the native Americans by using cheerios, pancake/maple syrup, and pine cone. 

that's how you do it :)

The picture above is what Bo and his friends made at school that morning.

Simple yet very interesting indeed.
Bird feeder, the American natives way.

ready to hang them..

Using Cheerios (crushed into crumbs), maple/pancake syrup, pine cone and small rope, they started making one by
tighting the rope at the bottom of the pine cone. Set it aside then mix the crumbs and syrup, then spread it all over the pine cone :).
And voilaaa... The bird feeder is ready.

How the kids enjoy this session with their parents. Pounding the tables while crushing the cheerios, mixing the look-oh-so-disguisting gooey syrup with the crumbs, then dipping the pine cone to it... Let alone the messy tables, which, fortunately have been covered by plastic garbage bag.

Once the bird feeders where well dried and ready, they put and hang them on the trees outside on the following Monday.

The day before the teacher has sent a permission slip noting whether the kids have any allergies to the ingredients being used as well permission for taping of video of photography for the school documentations. 

During the open school week, we also have the book fair and Bo managed to get Captain Underpantz comic while Obi got her super Barbie one.

Well, it was quite a fun week for the kids and the parents indeed.

Do you have open school week as well at your kid's school? What activities that you enjoy most during that week?


WW: Winter Palace in Saks Fifth Avenue

This is another perk of the holiday season.
Lavishly decorated windows on the famous department stores here in NYC.
Like the Winter Palace in Saks Fifth Avenue. 


I love to see those details.
What do you think?

window shopping has never been fun :)



look at her..She looks fabulous..and the cake behind her :)

here are some more details from the display..
