Yayaya..I know it has been ages I did not update this blog, the reason is I enjoyed my holiday too much

Yup, I just had a long semester break holiday, I enjoyed it very well with my family especially with my only princess Kayla. Well, what can I say, her mommy just had several days only to accompany me during holiday while I had one full month holiday.

There were several family activities filled the holiday. The 1st week I just spent my time at home with Kayla, the second week quite boost up our energy as we went to Bandung. Even thought for a night, the happiness of the trip felt so deep. We visited several of my family there, and guided by my brother and his family we went to several culinary places. Rabbit satay (I know some people just don’t like this food, but we just want to try, hehe), tahu lembang and Cilaki Seafood were places we visited. We also went to DeRanch, tried to act like cowboys

I am sure you might think how come we had those activities if we stayed only for a night there, good question..well the trick is we just “optimized” our time. Can you imagine, we left Jakarta at 7.30 in the morning and reach Bandung by 10.30 (this is longer than normal time, we had to pull over several times since Kayla need her “milking time”). We had a little chat with my bigger family until 12.30, then we went to our hotel and reached there at 14.00. We stayed for a while to relax and then at 15.30 Kayla’s uncle picked us to sightseeing (Satay, Tahu lembang, De Ranch, Lembang Mosque, Cilaki Seafood) and finally we came back to the hotel 21.30. Yapp, it was tiring but definitely fun

The 1st picture told us about how comfortable Kayla on her car seat on the way to Bandung, the 2nd picture show how modern cowgirl look like, and the last one actually not really related to our trip to Bandung but I just want to show how adorable my princess is

Actually i want to write a post about my opinion of Iron Man 2 movie my wife and i watched last Friday night. However, since it has been posted by our geek friend (or nerd, she claimed she is more into nerd than geek..dooh) in this link, I think I will write something about our little princes Kayla instead (which is also super hero, hehe).

Well, another special picture we have of her (it is always special if it relates to her, narcis parent mode on ). This picture was taken two days ago, in a rainy afternoon..yupp Kayla in blue in action. It seems lately she kind of notice if we want to take a picture of her, she suddenly act like a photo model, she put her hand on her cheek as soon as we said “kaylaa..smilee”. I think she learn from her mom who also like to pose, hehe

The second picture was taken when we brought her to a cafe last week, even though it was her parent who anjoyed the milkshake and all but obviously she also enjoyed the atmosphere there. Good girl, as long as she doesn’t ask to go to cafe every weekend later in the future than it should be ok

She is now 3 months and 1,5 week. She “speaks” more often, rarely cry, smile and giggle whenever i reach home from work. She is so gorgeous.

These days we are all aware that there are so many ways to communicate with our friend, family and others. Yup, I am definitely sure that those who are lives in this big city know YM, facebook, twitter and all. Well, I am talking about teenagers and middle age people. Probably there is little number of people who have never used these technologies, but they must have heard about this, at least.

What I am trying to tell is, all of that technology helps people to communicate to each other but what happen to traditional communication? I mean talking face to face, has it just gone? Have you ever thought that actually traditional communication has more meaning? Not just to say something, but also can show your expression (your face tells the truth) and the most important thing is by communicating face to face you can share the happiness to other.

For instance, if you live separately with your parent, you can imagine how miss our parent to be visited, not just says hi thru the phone. Or, can you imagine a husband and wife who are working at day times, they just meet in the evening and since they want to keep in touch with their friends, they use that evening time instead to chat with their friends thru cell phones and missed their family time.

In my opinion, the picture try to remind us (in a sarcastic mode, i guess ). The man is having holiday at the beach but he still use all the gadgets. Where is the “holiday”? Or, in my situation..I am trying to say whether we still need our gadget at family time? You may have your own opinion about this. At one point technology helps people a lot, but what will happen if we use it not in a proper time? I finally write this post after I realized that I am in the group of people who almost forgot about traditional communication and use my gadget most of the time. Bad daddy

Lastly, can you imagine later in the future when you have children, you asked your children to have a regular  family dinner and then they replied “Wait, i am tweeting” or “Wait, i am updating my status on facebook”. Are you ready with this??? We should “educate” technology NOT technology “educate” us. (weiitss..cool huh )
