Bo's Winter Concert

Have I told you before that Bo joined the school band and played trombone ;)?

Ahaaa.. Trombone it is :).

It all started last fall when Bo's music class offered any kids who were interested to join a band or a chorus. Bo chose the band. And when he came home with the permission slip, he told us that he wanted to play trombone. The other choices were flute, clarinet, alto sax, and trumpet. Seruuuu ya :) #langsungterbayangfullband #NewOrleansmodeon 

Well, he played recorder in the 3rd grade and Udi, my hubby, has introduced him to guitar as well. Sementara mamanya teuteup dengan tamborin andalan dan suara altonya hehehe. Kalau Obi, asyik dengan suara cemprengnya dan suling Abang yang ditiup sekenanya. But trombone? Never crossed our minds :).

pilih yang manaaa ayoo :)

Singkat cerita, perjalanan musik Bo pun dimulai. Karena trombone bukan alat musik yang murah dan sebagai percobaan, oleh guru musiknya Bo, Mr. Blake, kami diminta untuk menyewa tenor trombone untuk Bo.  Dengan begitu, kalau ternyata Bo berubah pikiran pun, kami tidak perlu menghabiskan banyak biaya.

We went to Laconia Music in for renting the trombone and as always, I always love to see all those musical instruments.

I just to see them all..

Dan bicara tentang trombone, alat musik tiup yang satu ini memang khas sekali. Baik bunyi yang dihasilkan maupun cara memainkannya. Dari hasil ngintip di Wikipedia, trombone sendiri berasal dari bahasa Itali yang artinya terompet besar. 

Dan entah mengapa, dari sekian banyak alat musik yang tersedia dan ditawarkan oleh sekolah, Bo memilih trombone. Saya bolak-balik tanya, beneran Bo mau coba trombone. Mamanya masih ngg percaya kalau anaknya bisa jadi trombonist atau pemain trombone hehehe. Orang alat musiknya aja hampir seukuran Bo tingginya. Tapi tentu saja, I have faith in Bo for sure.

Dan ternyata tidak mudah memainkannya ;). 
It is definitely note that easy at all to play it. I tried it several times, with the instructions from Bo, but still not succeeded. Fail..again and again. It is not just blowing it like when we play a recorder, but you have to do it with a slow, smooth air. Whatever that means LoL :).

But Bo manages to play it. And I guess he nails it ;p.
They practice twice a week during school time, particularly in the preparation of the concert.

Bo and his trombone :)

So, after 2 months of exercise, using Standard of Excellence 1, the school band held its winter concert.
Seperti tahun sebelumnya, band sekolah Bo pun mengundang para orang tua untuk hadir dalam konser musim dingin. Tidak hanya orang tua yang anak-anaknya ikut dalam band, tapi semua. Ramai juga yang hadir, karena auditorium sekolah Bo penuh. Dan tepat pukul 7 malam, konser dimulai.

let the concert begin :)

Konser terbagi menjadi 3 sesi, yang menampilkan band kelas 4, kelas 5 dan kelompok band terpilih. Karena Bo bergabung di kelas 4, maka Bo dan grupnya tampil lebih dahulu. Seperti yang disampaikan Mr. Blake, guru musik mereka, jumlah anggota band kelas 4 kali ini memecahkan rekor terbanyak selama ini karena antusiasme anak-anak yang tinggi. Mau lihat video pendeknya? silahkaaaan...

Meskipun komposisi musik yang ditampilkan masih terbilang sederhana karena pada prinsipnya mereka baru memulai latihan dan rata-rata baru pertama kali memegang alat musik yang mereka mainkan, tapi bangga melihat anak-anak tampil dengan penuh percaya diri mengekspresikan kecintaan mereka pada musik. Saya sendiri ngga bisa memainkannya karena memang susah :).
I am soooo overwhelmed to see them up there. And my eyes watered :). 
Maaf kalau mama Bo et Obi jadi cengeng yaaaa ;p #ambiltissue #sedotingus

bravoooo Bo :)

Untuk band kelas 5, mereka menampilkan komposisi musik yang lebih panjang  dengan selingan beberapa lagu natal. Sementara untuk band pilihan, bahkan mereka memainkan Wrecking Ballnya Miley Cyrus dengan komposisi mereka sendiri. Baguuuus lhooo..

So, all in all, konser musim dingin kali ini seru sekaligus membanggakan. 

Have you watch the school concert like this as well?

Cheese and veggie Bitterballen

Heloooo everyone ..

How is your holiday?

I hope everyone isenjoying one's break in this festive month. Spending lovely time with family and friends, doing all the things you love :).

We have some friends coming at the end of this year and it was great meeting up with them after quite some times. After exploring NYC in its drizzling Christmas day, we decided to sit down at home and just relax.

And time for delicious munchies :).
Waktunya untuk  menikmati camilan ringan tapi enaaaak :)

I have been trying to use more veggies in my cooking, especially for the kids. Then with a little mixing here and there, I managed to make veggie and cheese Bitterballen. Yummy and easy for everyone to enjoy.

Untuk mereka yang sudah sering dan biasa membuat bitterbalen, pasti tau bahwa resep bitterbalen klasik adalah campuran daging giling, keju, susu, dan tepung yang bersalut telur dan tepung panir. Cemilan yang berasal dari Negeri Kincir Angin ini memang sudah menjadi salah satu resep andalan di keluarga saya.Namun kali ini saya mengganti daging dengan aneka sayuran seperti wortel, kacang polong, jagung dan buncis, supaya anak-anak lebih banyak asupan sayurannya. Sedangkan bahan yang lainnya sama, yaitu susu, keju (berhubung persediaan keju di rumah sedang melimpah, saya mencampur parutan keju Edam dan Gruyere plus Parmesan bubuk), tepung, garam, lada dan sedikit bubuk pala jika suka. Plus telur dan tepung panir untuk pelapisnya sebelum digoreng. Ternyata meskipun isinya sayuran namun rasanya enak jugaaa :).

So, let's cook..

Here are the ingredients:

Mixed veggies - 2 cups. I used carrots, corns, green peas and green beans. You're indeed welcomed to use other favorite veggies of yours :)

Onion - a half, thinly sliced

Flour - approximately 2 cups or as needed

Milk - 1 cup 

Cheese - I used a mixture of grated edam, gruyere and parmesan

Eggs - 2, beaten

Breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil

Salt and pepper 

Nutmeg powder - if desired.

How to cook:

Put the onion in the hot pan and cook it together with mixed veggies. 
Once it's ready, pour the milk as well as salt, pepper and nutmeg powder, then slowly add the flour and cheese, little by little until everything is well mixed and no longer sticky. 
Then shape the mixture into small balls, dip them into beaten eggs then roll them in a plate of breadcrumbs. You can do that twice or three times until the layers get thicker. 
Deep fry it until golden brown and you can enjoy cheese and veggie bitterballen with mustard, mayo, or hot sauce. I even eat it with fresh chili :).  

Cara memasaknya gampaaang bangeeet. Pertama tumis bawang hingga harum, lalu masukkan sayuran dan masak sebentar hingga agak layu, tapi tidak terlalu matang. Masukkan susu, garam, lada dan bubuk pala lalu aduk. Sedikit-sedikit masukkan tepung dan keju ambil terus diaduk hingga adonan tercampur rata dan kalis, tidak lagi lengket jika dipegang. Setelah adonan agak dingin, ambil satu sendok dan dibentuk bulatan. Masukkan ke dalam telur yang dikocok dan gulirkan di atas tepung panir hingga semua permukaan tertutup. Ulangi 2 kali jika ingin lapisannya agak tebal. Goreng dengan api sedang hingga kecoklatan dan Bitterballen siap disantap. Jangan lupa sambal atau cabe rawit untuk pelengkap buat yang suka pedas seperti saya :).

See.. I guess it's pretty easy for everyone to try it at home and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do :).

Happy cooking...

Alice in Wonderland

"Who in the world am I? Aah... That's the great puzzle"..

White Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland 

Alice in Wonderland...

We just spent our Friday afternoon at Central Park. 
In the warmest day on December 25 over the last century... That's what they've been saying all over the news.

So as we have no white Christmas here in the Big Apple, but rather a warm day, we decided to pay a visit to this huge park in the middle of NYC. It was a bit drizzling by the way, but relatively warm.

drizzling..yet clear blue sky :)

Stretching over from the 59th Street to 110th Street, we certainly have a lot to explore here. But this time, we are coming back to meet Alice :).

Meet Alice...

Yuuup..

Alice in Wonderland.
Meet Alice, comfortably sitting on top of a giant mushroom amidst tall trees and blue sky above her.

Near the Conservatory Water at the eastern part of Central Park, stand the bronze sculpture of Alice and her famous friends from this impeccable story, Alice in Wonderland. Joining the big family of famous sculptures and statues in Central Park since 1959, Alice in Wonderland is a gift to all children in New York City thanks to the generosity of Mr. George Delacorte. We went there last year as well and had fun indeed. 

back in 2014 :)

I guess many of you are familiar with Alice, right. 
This adventurous girl is really having the time of her life experiencing the weirdest yet extraordinary adventures with Mr. White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Humpty Dumpty and Queen Heart in the Wonderland. And it all started down the rabbit hole :).

I myself have watched several versions of this timeless story brilliantly written by Lewis Carroll in the movies. Smithen by those wild imaginations, I also collect the book, including the sequel, Through the looking glass.  Perhaps that's why I always enjoy visiting its statues in Central Park. Including my kids...

look who's having fuuun :)

We have friends coming over from Ottawa and the kids are enjoying their winter break already. And surely running around freely, climbing rocks as well Alice and friends' statues suit them fine. Obi, my daughter, and Zayyan, Dinie's son,-our dearest friend from Ottawa, couldn't stop giggling looking at Mr. Rabbit's pocket watch and the wide grin of the Madhatter, while at the same time sliding down the magic mushroom just to climb it up again.

Aaah..what fun :)

Do you like Alice in Wonderland, too?
Who's your favorite character?

Enjoy the blue sky from different part of the world and join us on Skywatch Friday

Transiting in Istanbul (again)

I recently had a business trip to Geneve, Switzerland, and again, I deliberately choose Istanbul for my transit. 

Bosan dengan postingan saya tentang Istanbul? Belum kaaan..kalau iya, maafkaaaan ya. Soalnya memang seperti ada sesuatu di kota ini yang kerap memanggil saya untuk kembali. I know, I have been visiting this city numerous time but I have to admit that I can't stop coming back to this cradle of civilization.

Perhaps, this is my 9th time transiting in Istanbul and I gotta to admit always enjoy it :). 

For sure there are a lot of interesting places to see and to explore. 
Variety of food to taste and buy plus lovely handicrafts to bring home :). 
Okay, call me lame but speaking about handicrafts, before deciding to transit in Istanbul, I broke one of my purple hand-made Turkish bowl at home. Somehow I immediately decided to stop again in this city and  put it on top of my list to get some  and bring it back to NYC. What a mission, right :).

Jadi ceritanya...gara-gara mangkok ungu kesayangan yang saya beli dari Istanbul  pecah (karena salah saya sendiri hiiks), akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk mampir lagi ke kota ini. Kebetulan memang ada tugas dari kantor, jadi judulnya sekalian mampir. Misinya mencari mangkok pengganti :). 

a glimpse of my transit in Istanbul

So I started the journey quite early in the morning. 
Arriving at Istanbul at 6.30, I was out on the subway at 7.15. 
Destination: Sultanahmet historical area. I knew this place quite well and the trip downtown with subway and metro is very easy.

Tiba di pagi hari, saya sudah menetapkan hati untuk jalan ke daerah Sultanahmet. Setiap mampir di sini, memang daerah ini yang saya tuju terlebih dahulu, karena akses ke sana mudah dan saya sudah hapal hehehe. Kira-kira perlu waktu 30 - 40 menit menuju ke pusat kota tua yang bersejarah ini dari bandara jika kita menggunakan metro dan tram. Jadi, usai sholat subuh (karena winter, matahari terbit agak siang), sambil menikmati udara pagi yang segar, saya pun langsung bergegas keluar dari bandara.

Always love the colorful mosaics :)

By the time I came out of the arrival hall, I directly went to the money changer to get some Turkish Lira. 1 USD was about 2.9 TL so it wasn't that bad. I brought some TL notes and coins from my previous trip but obviously it won't be enough :). Not with some shoppings I have in mind.

Then, still in the airport, I went down to the basement and bought jetons, the special coins you would need for using public transport, from the machine. From the airport to Sultanahmet area, I will need 2 jetons. But considering that I would stop in Taksim, I would need some extra. So I got 6 jetons for safety.

Masih di sekitar bandara, yang pertama saya lakukan adalah menukar uang dengan Turkish Lira. Alhamdulillah USD lumayan bagus nilai tukarnya, sekitar 2.9 TL per Dollarnya. Setelah menukarkan secukupnya (sambil menghitung oleh-oleh dan mangkon yang ingin saya beli :)), saya pun membeli jetons, sejenis kepingan plastik yang kita pakai untuk menggunakan metro dan tram.  Semuanya ada di mesin otomatis dekat pintu masuk menuju tangga ke bawah tempat kita menunggu metro. 

Going down, the subway heading to Zeytinburnu, where I would need to stop and take tram heading to Sultanahmet, was already waiting. 15 minutes after, I was already in Zeytinburnu and took the tram for another 20 minutes ride to Sultanahmet. It was very crowded, as many students and workers were taking the tram as well.

cloudy morning

Then I was just heading directly to the Blue Mosque. 

Having my morning Dhuha prayer there, admiring the golden, elaborated dome ...

As I said previously, I'll never get tired of enjoying this place whenever I got the chance.

Keep coming back for more to kneel and speak with my Creator under that magnificent dome. The peaceful feeling is priceless. 

Setelah kurang lebih 35 menit di perjalanan menggunakan metro dan tram, saya pun tiba di Sultanahmet. Udara pagi yang agak mendung tidak mengendurkan semangat saya untuk segera menuju salah satu tempat favorit saya, Masjid Biru. Cerita lengkap tentang Masjid indah ini pernah saya tulis dalam a little note on Istanbul: Trail of civilization #2 Blue Mosque (cntd).

Ada banyak doa yang terselip saat saya menikmati keindahan buatan manusia yang didedikasikan hanya untuk Penciptanya. Termasuk agar teman-teman saya tercinta bisa juga merasakan sensasi damai yang sama di sini :).

never get tired of it :)

Setelah itu, saya kemana lagi ya? 
Transiting in Istanbul (again) makes me think of more places to explore.

Hmmm... setelah kaki melangkah ke sana ke mari, saya pun nyasar ke tempat yang baru :)
Mau tau ke mana?

Bersambung lagi niiiih ceritanya :)
To be continued

How about this dress, mama..

How about this dress, Mama...

"How about this dress, mama?"

Pertanyaan pagi ini dilontarkan Obi menjelang ritual mandi paginya. 

Iya, Obi, bungsu imutku yang baru saja merayakan ulang tahunnya yang kelima.
Pagi sebelum mandi, Obi akan sibuk mengaduk laci pakaiannya dan memilih apa yang akan dipakai hari itu. Selesai dengan pakaian, tidak lupa kaos kaki atau stocking kalau hari dingin. Finally, ikat rambut atau pita jika hari itu dia ingin rambutnya diikat or a little button from her favorite cartoons like Little Pony or Minnie Mouse, for example.

Pagi memang saat yang istimewa ya. 
Terutama karena gedubrakannya itu :). 
Dengan waktu yang terbatas, mostly less than 90 minutes, kami harus mempersiapkan semua. Mulai dari membangunkan anak-anak, make sure they brush their teeth properly and take a shower, menyiapkan sarapan dan bekal ke sekolah, check their bags again and again,  sampai urusan pilih memilih baju yang akan dipakai.
Morning rituals can be overwhelming sometimes.

Untuk urusan baju, I have to admit, Obi can be very specific!
She know what she wants to wear :).
Banyak yang selalu bilang kalau punya anak perempuan itu seru, karena ibunya bisa mendandani anaknya dengan segala pernak-pernik yang ada. Well, I guess it's a short-lived idea for me because Obi already chooses what she likes ( or not) to wear.

Di usianya yang masih belia, saya perhatikan Obi sepertinya punya fashion sense yang 'meriah'. Pastinya ngg heraaan ...mungkin karena sering melihat mamanya yang kalau berpakaian 'warna-warni', selera yang mirip menurun juga di putri kecilku ini. Saya memang penggemar warna ungu berat plus warna cerah lainnya yang bisa dipadankan dengan ungu. Dan jangan salahkan kalau koleksi pakaian Obi juga banyak yang berwarna ungu atau yang senada. Walaupun Obi lebih suka warna pink, tapi ungu is her second favorite color :). 

But don't get me wrong..I can't force her to wear purple all the time. Well, I never do.
Even when we shop for clothes, she will come up with her own choices and the turn out to be colorful as well.

Satu lagi, walaupun suka aneka warna, tapi Obi bisa dibilang Miss Matching :). Jangan kaget kalau saya suka ditegur Obi yang bilang, "mama, it doesn't match" saat saya mengambil turtle neck warna hijau dengan rok pink :). Padahal buat saya lucu-lucu ajaaa warna tabrakan seperti itu, apalagi dipakai oleh anak kecil hehehe.

Beberapa karakter dari film kartun favorit Obi juga sempat memenuhi koleksi pakaiannya. Buat mereka yang punya anak perempuan, pasti ada masa di mana wajah Elsa, Ana et Olaf dari film Frozen ada di mana-mana. Mulai dari buku cerita, kaos, rok, tas, kaos kaki, hingga dompet dan baju dalam >_<. Obi juga senang dengan My Little Pony dan Monster High, walaupun ngga heboh-heboh amat :).

So, jangan bosan ya kalau saya upload di path OOTD Obi :). Kalau sudah begini memang mamanya yang sibuk foto sana foto sini. Hari ini pakai jaket ungu dengan boots coklat. Besok sweater orange dan sneakers pink. Lusa celana biru dan fleece pink. Hari berikutnya terusan hitam dengan cardigan batik. Then next, kaos Frozen dan rok toutou biru plus sepatu ungu :). Segala rupa, segala warna :)

mostly pink and purple yaaa :)

Kalau Bo, abangnya Obi yang baru saja resmi menjadi bocah berusia 9 tahun (I'm surely a big boy now, ma... mind you :)), sudah jauh lebih mandiri dan disiplin. 
Dia paling patuh peraturan dan takut terlambat ke sekolah. Jadi setiap pagi Bo selalu sigap untuk bersiap-siap.
Way to gooo Bang.. Because it makes things easier for me to wake him up and he knows the drill. Sometimes I just have to get the clothes checked, make sure it fits the weather of the day. And that's it. He doesn't really pay attention to what he's wearing. As long as he gets his jeans, t-shirt, and a pair of socks, he's good. 
Mungkin kalau anak laki-laki begitu ya, cuek bebek. 
Bahkan kaos kaki bolong pun harus mamanya yang memberitahu. Yang pakai malah asyik-asyik aja hehehe. Jadi mamanya yang suka gemeeez.

Cheeeers from Bo et Obi..

Kalau teman-teman bagaimana?

Do your kids choose their own wardrobe? 

Or you get them prepared?

Just like a flower...

Hari Ibu sudah lewat?

Memang sekarang sudah bukan lagi tanggal 22 Desember, tapi untuk perempuan perkasa yang sudah membesarkanku dan 2 orang adik lelakiku dengan segala doa, air mata, perjuangan dan keikhlasan, rasanya tidak akan pernah cukup kami mengucapkan terima kasih untuk segalanya...

Just like a flower, she will forever bloom in my heart

My dearest mama :)

Love you, Mamaaaa ..
