Another early morning and another beautiful walk in the sunshine with my beautiful boy. It was fairly quiet on the path I chose to take today, but we saw lots of chickens walking along the roads, cats and also some squirrels in a cage which made Samudra jump up and down in excitement. There was […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 83
As soon as I woke this morning I decided it would be fun to take Samudra to visit the baby elephants at Ragunan Zoo to start our day. I googled opening times and it said 7.00am-5.00pm so I played with Samudra first and went to leave the house at 6.30am, planning to catch a taxi […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 82
I had been planning to get up early today to visit Taman Suropati as it has been on my ‘to do’ list since having Samudra, and it’s been way too long since we were last there to watch Ages Biola and his students practising violin in the park. Remembering today was Easter Sunday I had […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 81
Happy Easter Weekend to everyone! Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and still I haven’t seen a single chocolate egg for sale in Jakarta.. looks like the Easter Bunny will be missing our house, not that it matters as I have a chocolate fix everyday anyway. Today started with a lazy morning playing at home with Samudra, […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 80
I planned to have a quick walk up the street this morning to go in search of bread as I woke up absolutely famished! As usual I left the house with Samudra on my hip and the camera slung over my shoulder, and we headed straight for the main road as I had no idea […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 79
As much as I tried, I couldn’t get Samudra back to sleep once he had woken super early this morning, so we played until 6.00am when it was at least a reasonable hour for me to get out of bed and go for a walk. I must say I scared myself to look down as […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 78
This morning started what only continued to be a bit of a strange day for me emotionally, so I felt like a crazy bule in Jakarta today, not really getting in sync with the day! I had planned to take Samudra for a morning walk but kakek was up and about when we got up, […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 77
I was so happy to wake up and know that we would be heading out to see Deasy and Amaru again today, I really miss chats with Deasy and it’s been a long time between visits. I smiled as we travelled back through the streets of Pamulang as there was so much going on and […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 76
As today was spent infront of my computer all day or otherwise holding Samudra to try and calm him down from crying, I didn’t have any chance for mini adventures or photo taking outside of the house. Being inside all day makes me realise how much I LOVE being out on the streets, how I […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 75
I had arranged with Treen to go to Car Free Day this morning, and for once Samudra decided not to wake up early, so by the time Treen arrived in the taxi with Claire, I had to wake Samudra and take him with us in his pajamas. The street was heaving with people jogging, walking, […] Read more »
