Tim and Andrew, Jan 2023

With my first born and second born sons. 

Timmy had pelonidal cysts and we were at Blackthorn Health center. 

Mama walked to Netley pharmacy and the medicine wasn't there. 

We drove to Blackthorn pharmacy and the medicine wasn't there. 

So, we were told to go to the doctor and asked for prescription. 

In this photo, we were waiting for the doctor's prescription. 

It was very cold and I left my gloves at home. I had Andrew's gloves in my pocket and I started wearing them. 

Tim was confused, "how can it fit you Mom?" We started comparing the size of our 3 palms, as we waited. Hahahaha..

We had to go back and forth to the pharmacy. 

Motherhood days. 

Luckily I have had my driving licence.  And while I was in the driver's seat with 2 sons at the back,

In the car, I told the boys, "I feel like a Mom."

 Andrew replied "You are!" 😁😁

You know like Mama bear with the bear cubs. Hahahaha... 

Parts and Parcel of Motherhood.

Taking care of this boy since baby 

sure takes a lot of effort. 

Looking back at those days...

and realised how time flies. 

Parenting is not easy...

There is no school that I can go to learn and obtain all the skills. 

It's like jumping into the water and start swimming...

Well, he is 9 going to be 10 this year. 

And few days back, he said: "I would love to live on my own, so I don't have to listen to you Mom."

I said: "Okay, if that's what you want. I'm not gonna hold you back. But before that, it means that I need to teach you some life skills."

So..last Saturday, he wanted Indomie for breakfast.

Tim: "Mom can you make me Indomie please?"

Me: "Why don't you make it yourself. I will teach you how." 

Tim: Oh.....

Me: Well, you said you wanna live on your own...

Tim: Okay ...okay...

So, here's the photo of him making his indomie. 

With spills here and there...

With "help Mom.... here and there." 

Hahahahaha....

Another part of his milestone that I like to see blossoming is his social ability.
Photo was taken at the Pastoral Care at the Church.
Glad that he has this smiley face when I picked him up.

It was tough getting him to join this activity.
Things like "Mom, this is weekend. I have worked so hard from Monday to Friday to enjoy the weekend. and this program is from 10-3, so long, 5 hours. It's taking up my time. "

Well, I was so happy that when I picked him up, he had his smiley face on, running around here and there with the other kids. Thank God. :)

And after his homework was done, he requested for pizza. 

He wanted to order one, to be delivered. 

But I told him that we could make one instead. 

Not one, but three. 

Since there were 3 pizza bases. 

..and we put generous extra toppings. hehehehe..

Last Sunday, I taught him how to iron his uniform. :)

Having no maid in the house, that means he needs to participate in the housework. 

Well...he was scared when he used the iron. 

...and his ironing needs improvement. 

But I am glad....

at least that's a start. 

Now the challenge is for me to be consistent. 

Well....that' part of my motherhood and parenting days.

Love you Tim.   Hope that you will grow into a good man one day.

Air Terjun Curug Cimahi, Bandung.

30th June 2015.

We passed by Curug Cimahi Water Fall. 

Timmy was excited to find out.

So, off we go! 

This is the view of the water fall from the entrance door. 

We had to go down the steps..

587 steps down....

587 steps up...

They call it The Rainbow Waterfall.

They provided few stops for us to rest, fully equipped with chairs too. 

So, it was good.

We were blessed with other visitors who gave us their sticks. 

It was helpful. Yay! Thank you. 

I love Timmy's climbing spirit when we were there.
He was very excited and sporty with "Come-On and get-going" attitude.

He was playing with the water and washing his face with fresh water from the pipe.
Cold water. hehehehe.

First Holy Communion @ St. Laurensius Church

Sunday, 7th June 2015

Timmy has been learning since January 2015 with his friends at school. 

Learned to take notes of the Homily every Sunday..

And the peak of these, was his First Holy Communion.

The kids with Romo Yohanes Hadi Suryono.

Timmy, Evan, Randy

 The boys sat next to each other, and they are in the same class too. 

And Evan's baptism name is: Timotius. 

Timmy's name is: Timotius.

What a coincidence. Hahaha..
