Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

Hi everyone,

Here we are in Jakarta! I’m so enjoying heaps of Indonesian food (drinks and desserts too!) as well as our get-together with family!

Family members from around the world is here to celebrate my grandpa’s 91st birthday AND my grandparents’ 70th wedding anniversary!

Yes, they’ve been married for THAT long and they’re so blessed with good health till today! (If I were to live till I celebrate my 70th wedding anniversary with hubby, I’d be … 95yo!!)

[Here they are with some of their great grandkids during one of our dinner celebrations!]

Really. I feel so blessed to have been around to witness and be part of the whole celebration. Rare to (still) have such occasions these days!

Basically THIS is the main reason why we let Anya and Vai skip school for close to two weeks to go and attend this big family get-together.

I mean, events come and go, but we believe that there are moments in life that we should NOT miss. And to us, THIS is one of them.

[With torchlights in my cousins’ hands, I experimented on making the numbers ‘7’ and ‘0’, to represent my grandparents’ 70th wedding anniversary! Turned out pretty well, heh]

The kids dressed up a bit too for some of the occasions. Here’s Vai in his (oversized!) Batik shirt and Anya in her cheongsam!

Will update and post more photos of our Jakarta trip soon! Stay tuned!
