December 9, 2006 (Special Farewell Dinner)
I'm extremely thrilled, cause Yoshinori has invited me to have a special dinner at Seiyoken, Ueno. It's a French Restaurant, and this restaurant has reminded him very much of his grandma, who often brought him here when he was a kid. This will be our special dinner together (only two of us) before I'm going back to Jakarta, Indonesia this Thursday. I'll be giving birth in Indonesia, and won't be returning back to Tokyo till next April. The dinner was really delicious, and we ordered a special menu which is called "ダリ”special dinner menu. The restaurant often has special menu for special occasion, such as naming after a special exhibition which is held around Ueno area, and "ダリ”is the exhibition currently held in Ueno. Yoshinori has also ordered a special crepes dessert which was made right before us (not in the kitchen). It's extremely delicious with the thick fresh orange sauce covering the crepes. Conversation just flow continuously and smoothly between us...and we laughed when we thought that maybe it will be hard to come to such a place with the kids. Maybe not till they are older. Having married for about 6 years and we feel real delighted to be blessed finally with this first pregnancy. It was a really memorable dinner for both of us, and we both really pray for safe delivery and safe trip back home. God, please bless both of us when we're being away from each other, and provide us with your warmth love and grace always to keep us close in heart. Amen.

December 06, 2006 (Baby Shower)

It's my first Baby Shower. My dearest AzabuJuban HG brothers and sisters have organized it especially for me. They have prepared many delicious sweets, cakes and fruits. We started with the normal Bible Study led by our sister, Lily. It's her first time to lead the HG, and she really did a great job. We greatly appreciate her time to prepare for the HG. Our Host, Jinhe and Christ have prepared delicious Thai curry for us :). It must be really hard for our sister, Mindy, to carry the balloon all the way from Hiroo to Kamiyacho with "It's a Boy" written boldly on it. People might be wondering if she's pregnant...:). It's our last HG for the year of 2006, and I couldn't stop thanking God on how much I really love this HG and all the prayer which I received profusely from my dearest brothers and sisters. I do continously pray for those brothers and sisters who still have troubles in their life, struggling for their work, uncertain of their future career, coping with school works and studies, as well as those who are looking for life partner. I wish them all the best and that they will be blessed soon with answered prayer. Honestly, the easiest thing we could ever do is to ask God...and Pray continously. Merry Christmas everyone, and may all of your wish come true. God Bless you always.

Luv,
Ninih :)
