THREE The next day, I went straight to Jakarta with Audy, I teached at Barito for project class that I can't cancel even though I wish (again) I could stay at home with Adam. Urghhh. You had seen the class from my previous post. From Barito, we went to one of my relative's wedding that I can't got escape from. Back to Bandung by midnight.
FIVE Saturday, 2nd August, Audy's sister got married at the church at Jakarta. The priest's preaching was insightful, although we don't feel quite at home with the church which has an aquarium as a stage and a gold coated podium! Oh, my. (Look at the aquarium behind our legs....).Here is the pic :
SIX Finally, Scrapking's order for ribbons from Bangkok had landed! With so many troubles with the custom and sea freight stuckness from May (you know what happened with Indonesian custom these couple months!!!) all the 500 boxes arrived safely this August. Could not wait to show you all the ranges. They are all just lovely and yummy...:-). By now, they are already pouring in to all Scrapking stores and also counters at the Foodhall. Yippee!! (Sorry the pictures are a little bit pale since I was in a hurry and didn't get the setting right.) 
SEVEN On 6th August, after Nadea went to school for a week and feel exhausted, she got chicken pox too!!! Oh, oh, oh. We waited and waited and waited for the symptom on her since Adam got it, but she was very fit during that week. Although I feel quite relieved cause she eventually got it too, so my children will be free from chicken pox for the rest of their life. Phew... But she had fever for couple days, so she became a whiner. Not nice. Especially because she knew she can't go to the big event this Saturday. We spent the day cheering her up by making the name tag for aaaaalll her dogs..Yes, aaallll.....
EIGHT Another wedding? Oh, boy, yes. No kidding. Last week is the ceremonial, last Saturday, on 9th August is the reception for Audy's sister at her home town, Sukabumi. All Audy's family were there. You know, Nadea was supposed to be the bridesmaid..(with all the dress, the tiara, and the flower basket ready !! ayaiyai...) so inevitably, she cried when we left her at home. Poor girl. If only I can do something to delay the chicken pox for three days...arghh...
NINE Still sleepy because the party is last until 10 p.m and we still drove 2 hours back home. And yet, we had to go straightly to Jakarta on 10th August morning, to help our best friend Marisa and Muljadi finalizing their restaurant, Sagoo Kitchen, which will be open tomorrow on 11th August, at Mall Kelapa Gading 1. Tired. Exhausted. Headache. But we managed everything quite beautifully. And at the end of the day, really glad that they feel satisfied and ready to open tomorrow. Knowing that the day before they still feel hopeless and confused! Congratulations, Marisa and Muljadi......your dreams come true. Beautiful restaurant and many nostalgic items (from toys, snacks, and of course, foods and drinks) you can see here :
TEN And all in between those weddings, those sickness, and all and all, my feet were struggling. As you all the scrappers who usually got Scrapking's monthly newsletter knew, there are no class at Scrapking for this August, so I could signed up for private classes twice a week at Pilates, for repairing my legs and feet alignment which got damaged from the stroke I got 8 years ago. Hurt like hell. Couple first sessions I came home and feel as if my legs were not as the part of my body. Strange. But for my own good. Before it get worse with age. Keep going, big girl. Keep going....
