10 Years and Going Stronger

Got romantic message on Facebook from Asenk, hehehe thank you so much for everything my dear. Love you.
-----------------------------------------------------

9 September has always been a special day for me. Not because it was the birthday of our former President (like I care, hahaha), but because it was the date when I first expressed my feeling to the most loveable and adorable woman on earth. Ten years now have lapsed, yet I still love you the same. I love you even more now. Happy (unofficial) anniversary. Thank you for always being by my side, and I look forward to growing old with you. But before that happens, LET'S HAVE FUN!

Latepost: Happy 4 dear Dagna

Repost from Asenk's Facebook.

You turned 4 today. Time really flies. I could still vividly remember the day you were born. Your first cry was my greatest joy. You were so tiny that I thought I could hold you only by one hand. Now you have grown, and more importantly, turned into my little angel who always gives me strength to move forward even if the obstacles ahead seem impossible to overcome. When I was in doubt or in distress, I took a look at you. You sometimes didn't say anything. You just smiled and laughed, but somehow it made all the difference. Your smile and laugh started the fire in my belly. Your smile and laugh empowered me.

You are a very sweet little girl. You have your own way to persuade me (and Dhyani) to get something you want. You rarely make direct demands but you always know what to say to make me feel obliged to finally give you something that you want. I recall that in the middle of the snow where it was so freezing cold and windy, you said to me "Dad, I can smell doughnuts from here, can you smell them too?". Or if you wanted chocolates when we did grocery shopping, you simply said "Dad, is that thing expensive?" You knew how to put me in a position where I would feel bad if I didn't buy the doughnuts or chocolates. Don’t get me wrong. I am not complaining. On the contrary, I am very happy with your development, as you seem to be able to create a strategy to get something you really want. This is something a good lawyer will do (well, I am not saying that you should be a lawyer, hahaha).

Happy birthday Hayanara Dagna Adila, my sweet little angel. I may not be the best father (but rest assured that I am and will always trying to be one), but you are definitely the perfect daughter. Love you.

Latepost: Happy 2 dear Qianzi

Hahaha yes i know it's been 5 months and very late to post this, but i just want to post this hoping that someday anak-anak kangguru will read this, and they know that mommy daddy kangguru love them so much.

As usual, repost from Asenk's facebook.

You turn two today. This means more food leftovers in the car, more singing out loud, more sibling fights, more toys and other unthinkable things laying around on the house floor and more definitely toys demands. You turning two also means less space for us (well this is actually for Dhyani) on the bed, less quite time for us, no more cheap infant airfare, and more importantly, less money to spend for my hobbies. But they are all perfectly fine. They are actually what we wish for. They are inevitable.

Grow, learn and experiment, my little angel. Do all the things that make you happy (including tailing Dhyani all the way to the bathroom or interrupting me when I am at work). Keep making us amazed, laughed and happy. Happy birthday, my precious daughter. Love you.

Namanya saudara kandung ya kadang berantem, abis itu pelukan, abis itu jambak-jambakan, terus pelukan lagi. Gitu aja terus ya, hahaha kayak gitu lah Dagna dan Qianzi.

Qianzi seneeeng banget ngeledekin Dagna dan jambak rambut. Kalo udah gitu kerjaan Dagna ya nangis dan ngadu ke Mommy, hahaha..

Tadi siang seperti biasa, dua anak kangguru rebutan sesuatu lalu Qianzi jambak Dagna. Seperti biasa juga, Mommy males ikut campur kalo gak dilibatin, biarin aja urusan mereka hahaha.. Trus Mommy liat Dagna tangannya udah naik, siap mukul Qianzi. Surprisingly, nggak jadi mukul. Dagna memilih untuk pergi ninggalin Qianzi.

Awwwww, i am a proud mom.

Semoga semakin besar anak-anak kangguru semakin saling sayang, akrab dan kompak dalam hal positif ya, aamiin.

Woof you very much DQ.
