This past few days have been pretty un-eventful for us, with each one of us still continue to recover. Shun is getting excited preparing Kairo's 2nd b'day, which btw, the invitations will be out soon.
What else...I'm going back to school next month, not really a lecture type of school, but more like a distance ed one...and of course being me, I had to pick the most intense one, the one that's only 10 month in lenght but requires at least 20 hour of studying per week, have 4 exams throughout the 10 months, and a national enterance exam in october. I don't think I ever feel this worried about school ever. I'm just hoping that things will get better with Indie's sleeping schedule. 20 hour per week is like a part time job...so in May, when I'm back to work, I will have a full time work during the day, come home to take care of my kids and then start my 'part time' job for the rest of the night...I'm scared. I just want to get this school thing get out of the way. Shun told me to limit my blogging time to accomodate the studying...sigh...so Liz..don't miss me too much when I don't blog very often anymore okay:)
I have some Christmas pictures attached in this blog. Though we didn't get to go out anywhere during Christmas, I managed to forced Shun and the kids to stay in front of the tree and the gifts...heheh....yes, we looked like crap, but at least I have pictures of Indie's first Christmas:)
This time of the year has always been the best for me ever since I can remember. Maybe because my b'day falls within 4 days after new year, so we always had a get together at my parents place. It's a combo of christmas, new year and my b'day i guess:) It's never about the gifts though. I remember that I always got presents, but I can't remember what they were anymore. What sticks is the feeling of warmth and happiness to have people you love around you, to see how everybody is laughing and happy, and of course being kids, to play those silly indonesian kids games before we all passed out:)
Ever since I had Kairo, I always wanted to create that type of atmosphere for my family. But of course it's difficult since most of his close relatives are scattered around the globe. So I'm just glad that we could have that christmas exchange thing as a tradition, which actually, the gift exchange is what my family used to do when we grew up. I know that the aftermath of the last party has been bad, but I hope that it won't stop everyone from coming to the next one. Shun and I already have another idea for the 5th christmas exchange, but it won't be fun if nobody else is coming:) Maybe I can borrow one of those breathelizer thing and scan everyone at the door. If you carry more than 'normal' amount of germs than we'll just take your food, wish you merry christmas and wave you goodbye...hahhahaa....:) Nah...we're all adults here, I'm sure we all learned our lessons and continue living:)
Anyways...here are some pictures from this holiday. Shun tried to incorporate Kairo to build the gingerbread house (thanks Gene and Terri), but the still-sick little man just refused to do anything but wanting to eat the cookie. At least he ripped open all his gifts and had fun with the presents as well as the wrappers:)
Enjoy the rest of your holidays everyone...

Ah Hem! Liz won't be the only one to miss reading your blogs!!LOL It's too bad you won't be able to keep it up, but I totally understand. I'm glad you're going back to school. Don't be nervous. It'll be hard at first juggling it all, but you'll do fine.
Great family shot...all looking at the camera! I love the picture with Kairo and his bag that is as big as he is. : )
I was gonna comment before (but couldn't) that my heart already feels empty without your blog postings and what am I going to do? but since then you made me happy with a few new posts :)
