Chinese New Year 2012 and Thomas Birthday

We celebrated Chinese New Year and at the same time, Thomas Bithday. This is the first time I rented Bouncer and let the children play.. and this year open house more calm and less noisy because the kids are playing outside... During the opened house, some guest and actually most guest came during the night. It is indeed tired but it still worth it.

For the food.. yearly we will ordered the food from Sotorindu Hj Zainal Catering... one of the well-known catering services inb Brunei. I ordered 2 packages .. one is the Rice package and also Soto packages.

Thomas said he wants the cake design just as Joshua cake design during the Last Birthday Celebration in Big PaPa... Here is the cake:

Christmas Season

This year Christmas, I planned to go back my hometown Lawas. But unfortunately, my leave was not approved since lots of staff already went on leave. We were planned for the big family gathering... but I was not there... So sad!!! Then I just found my own program and have a walked somewhere to feel the Christmas season here in Brunei... I went to The Empire Hotel and Country Club with sister and her kids.

I spend only 1 hour there because outside was raining heavily. This christmas season make me think. People out there who don't understand may think, Christmas is associated with the Santa Clause who give out the presents and gifts. If someone think that, it can be very sad. The real meaning of Christmas is not Santa Clause or Christmas Tree at all BUT the Birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah to the Earth. There is nothing wrong with the display of Santa Clause or Christmas tree during this Christmas season but the if you forget the Christ, then Christmas mean nothing to you and you don't understand the real meaning of Christmas.

Wedding Sarman & Ruyanti at Cirebon

On 20 November 2010, my foster sister, Ruyanti (Race: Sundanese) married second time to Sarman (race: Javanese) after her first husband passed away 10 years ago. Now, she build her own family and I wish them : "Happy Family, stay healthy & May God Bless them always..." Very unfortunate, I am not able to attend this wedding myself but, I did send a wedding cake which is specially design for them. I ordered 3 Tier cake but TQ so much to Ibu Peppy Irawati because she include 1 extra Tier as a gift for them also. Bu Peppy is a person that I trust because I used to order cakes, cookies and send to my family in Cirebon. For those who are interested can visit her blog at: http://pattiserie-homemade.blogspot.com.
