Baba Roti

Mam was making some roti boys today and while we were eating it – Matt suddenly said: “if we make a lot of these, one day we can open a bakery and call it Baba Roti!” 😀 (Matt’s nickname is Baba – or Bubba – ko’s version)

Matt’s reflection on 2016

Things that I thank God for in 2016

  1. Guakong- he fell down the stairs.His head was bleeding and had to go to hospital, but he survived.
  2. Oma’s stroke- Thanks to God, she survived.
  3. Friends-Thank you to my best  friends, Bennett and Henry.
  4. Family- Thank God that I can spend time with my current family and extended.
  5. Holidays-

 

 

 

Things that I need to work on:

 

 

Love Languages

Been reading Love Languages for Children. The author states that child’s primary love languages are always changing and you cannot find out until the child is older than 5 years.

However me and Lina think Jet’s primary language is Quality Time (accidentally it is also Lina’s), this evidenced by his often cravings for attention, he doesn’t like to be alone for long.

Would be interested to see whether this will change as he grows, also eager to know what the 2nd child is like, what’s his/her love language..

Jet pingsan sebentar

Wah bener2 bikin kuatir deh nih anak. Dia kan emang beberapa hari belakangan kurang enak badan, pilek, bersin2 dan agak batuk. Tapi udah mendingan, terus hari ini he seemed OK, so kita taruh dia di creche whilst gw dan Lina ke UniChurch Together today.

Pas udah hampir selesai acara (sekitar jam 11:45-an), si Umin nyamperin gw bilangin kalo si Jet sakit. Terus kita buru2 turun ke bawah, terus si Jet keliatan lemes banget dipegangin ama si Alice. Terus Glorya bilangin kalo si Jet sempat kehilangan kesadaran beberapa saat dan dia udah telpon ambulance. He looked so pale and weak. Pas dipangku Lina dia langsung tutup mata dan tidur.

Terus ambulance datang, petugas ambulancenya cek si Jet, terus found out kalo dia panas banget (39 derajat) dan bilang kalo harus dibawa ke rumah sakit sekarang juga. Ya udah akhirnya Lina dan Jet pergi naik ambulance, gw pergi naik mobil.

Dokter di hospital bilang dia mungkin tiba2 mengalami demam mendadak makanya pingsan.

Dia udah pulang rumah sih, suhu badan masih very high (39 derajat), we pray supaya bisa turun soon. Oh, what a day. Pikir2 Jet udah lumayan sering pergi ke Emergency-nya Randwick’s Children’s Hospital. Must continue be praying for him and Lina, as she’s exhausted.

Jet rewel

Gara2 Jet sakit, dia jadi rewel banget.. Suka merengek, nangis dan somehow jadi rebelious dan stubborn banget, ga mau pray, ga mau baca bible, he’s not his usual self. Also gara2 dia sakit, kita jadi miss PGF social ke Watson Bay (agak kecewa sih, tapi untung diremind oleh Vic C kalo ministry prioritasnya ke keluarga dulu).

Last night was very tiring for me and Lina, Jet woke up at 11pm and couldn’t sleep until 1am, so we had to take turn in accompanying him (he’s usually quite easy to sleep). Today also rewel2 a bit, but thank God up until now his sleep is quite good, hopefully it will stay like this for the rest of the night.

Turning 2

I took a day off last Friday (25/07) on Jet’s birthday. We went to Sydney Aquarium. Unfortunately Jet wasn’t appreciating the trip as we thought he would, but at least me and Lina were enjoying the aquarium. He was a bit cranky and the rainy weather didn’t make it any easier.

We then went to Sushi Rio at Sussex St for dinner, it was a so so sushi restaurant so wont’ be recommending it.

On Saturday, we picked up the cakes from Eastgarden and took some pictures. We then had lunch at Java.

On Sunday, we had a little celebration with the Sunday school kids and teachers (or carers?).

Happy birthday son! May you grow to know Christ as your Lord and Saviour.l

Enggak

Jet has learnt these words:

  • Nggak mau
  • Nggak tau
  • Nggak pa pa
  • Ya udah

Come to think of it, are we the only parents in Pelita (GKP) that teach and speak Indo to our child? I think those indo phrases are cuter for the baby to say than the English counterpart.
