Jacob Ballas Children's Garden is Asia's first children's garden, located in the Singapore Botanical Garden. It is designed to provide unique discovery and learning experiences in a garden setting. Kids can learn about different types of plants. There are also maze garden, sand area, water park, hanging bridge and tree house too.  I went there last Sunday, it was fun :) I wish and hope Jakarta will have gardens and parks like this for kids...someday..soon!

Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia

 

 

Mungkin ini hanya sebagian kecil dari banyak yayasan yang ada di Indonesia dan mungkin kegiatan saya ini juga hanya sebagian kecil dari beberapa orang. Tp saya percaya little things do count. 

Saya sangat bersyukur karena saya bisa menyempatkan waktu saya untuk bermain dan berinteraksi dengan anak2 ini. Pertama kali saya datang ke Rumah Kita ini, rasanya berat sekali untuk menahan air mata karena terharu. Anak2 ini penderita kanker dan leukimia, namun mereka terlihat ceria. Ada yg baru sembuh dan ada yg masih dalam tahap perawatan. Lucunya kalau mereka sudah bercerita, tidak bisa berhenti :) 

"Kakak aku masa rambutnya udah rontok..."...itu salah satu kalimat yang keluar dari salah satu anak di sana. Rasanya terenyuh sekali waktu mendengarnya.

Anak2 ini dengan antusias dan tanpa beban mau berlatih menari. Rasanya terharu setiap kali kami datang, mereka menyapa dengan sangat ramah sambil memeluk kami. 

Dan td malam acaranya, salut untuk para panitia Helping Hands Project. Anak2 itu tetap menari dengan PDnya. 

Saya kagum dengan anak2 ini yg menderita kanker dan leukimia, namun mereka masih bisa tersenyum dan tertawa. Ada saatnya di mana mereka lelah dan diam seribu bahasa, tapi selebihnya mereka tetap aktif :)

Jujur saya tidak tahu banyak tentang penyakit kanker dan leukimia, saya tidak tahu secara spesifik. Saya jadi ingin belajar dan mengetahui lebih dalam.

Call me cheesy...but it's true...when you give them something dan bukan sebuah barang, tapi dengan kehadiran kita dan mau bermain bersama mereka, mendengarkan mereka bercerita, dan membuahkan tawa dan senyuman dari mereka...rasanya adem dan puas hehehe...undescribable...dan tidak terlupakan :) 

All I can say is....I thank God, I can spend my time with all kinds of kids and learn from them. Each are different but still the same, they're kids, let's help them and give them hope ♥

Le Pichet

Le Pichet is one of the best french food & wine bar in Seattle. I miss hanging out at Le Pichet just sitting outside having conversation with friends, wine, cheese and bread...or just having coffee with book. Le Pichet is located in the heart of downtown Seattle.

Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time by Rob Sheffield

This is one of my favorite book :)

"For me, if we're talking about romance, cassettes wipe the floor with MP3s. This has nothing to do with superstition, or nostalgia. MP3s buzz straight to your brain. That's part of what I love about them. But the rhythm of the mix tape is the rhythm of romance, the analog hum of a physical connection between two sloppy human bodies. The cassette is full of tape hiss and room tone; it's full of wasted space, unnecessary noise. Compared to the go-go-go rhythm of an MP3, mix tapes are hopelessly inefficient. You go back to a cassette the way a detective sits and pours drinks for the elderly motel clerk who tells stories about the old days--you know you might be somewhat bored, but there might be a clue in there somewhere. And if there isn't, what the hell? It's not a bad time. You know you will waste time. You plan on it."

"When we die, we will turn into songs, and we will hear each other and remember each other."

"There are all kinds of mix tapes. there is always a reason to make one."

"I had no voice to talk with because she was my whole language."

"Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together and they add up to the story of the life."

"Love dies in many different ways, and it's natural for the grass to seem greener on the other side. But it's not a competition; there's plenty of pain to go around."

"What is love? Love is a battlefield. Love can be stinks. Love hurts. Love bites, love bleeds, love is the drug. The troubadours of our times all agree. They want to know what love is and they want you to show them. But the answer is simple. Love is a mix tape."

Umbrella sisters

 

I took this pic when it was a bit raining at Jatipadang...di pinggir jalan. They're both cousins, Padma and Qisha. Mereka insist untuk pake payung besar berdua hehe. It's just me or everybody, i don't know...but it amazes me how simple things kids do can brighten up any kind of day :)
