Sumidagawa Firework Festival (July 28th, 2007)

Every year in Japan, there are many fireworks festival held at several locations. Fortunately, from where we live, we can enjoy the Sumidagawa Fireworks really well. Of course, people are welcome to watch the performance thru TV as well. We had a party at Aunt Yukiko's house and everyone enjoyed the fireworks which started from 7:15p.m. It lasted for more than an hour, and at the end of performance, they will announce the best 3 fireworks being performed. Even though I couldn't enjoy much yet, but I do look forward to it more next year when I could probably walk and express my feeling in words. Thanks Aunt Yukiko for preparing a lot of delicious food for everyone. Love, Riki

First time rolling over my body and DPT immunization(5mths and 3 wks old)

July 3rd: I can finally turn over my body for the first today. Mommy just left me on my gym for a while, and when I returned, Mommy was surprised to see me with my tummy down on the floor, and I gave mommy a really big smile to show how pleased I was cause I can now roll over freely.

July 6th: I have my first DPT immunization today at Sensoji hospital at around 1:00 p.m. It didn't hurt and I didn't cry at all. Again, the doctor complimented me for being such a good boy. :)

First trip to Bandung, June 22nd-24th, 2007

It's amazing how much energy mommy has. She has also organized a trip to Bandung. It's a city about 3 hours drive from Jakarta. Uncle Hong drove us to Bandung. Since they have built a new toll way, it took us only about 2-3 hours to this city. We rented a 3 rooms apartment at Aston Hotel, and mommy got a very good rate from this hotel by reserving it thru her friend who lives in Bandung. Bandung is extremely popular for the outlet and delicious food. The weather her is also much cooler than Jakarta. Mommy did a lot of shopping hopping from one outlet to the other. There are 16 people altogether including the driver, 2 maids and a babysitter...:). Uncle Ahui and his family went thru Puncak and visited the Safari Park before heading to Bandung. Mommy thought that it would be too tiring for me to join them to the Safari Park, so we have decided to skip that trip and went directly to Bandung from Jakarta. We all really enjoy this short trip. :)
