Tim Pendamping IPB

Dear all of my friends,

Arofanti wrote this article on August 31,2010.  She lived in Bali with her precious daughter “Naia”.  With this article hope you can find something there.

I believe you can change fate by calling out to the universe, so that it conspires to your wishes….but destiny is irrefutable. I also believe that new crispy linen on a made bed should not be touched at all, unless it’s bedtime.

This was written 9 months ago, as my little girl was shy of turning 3.

Mami : Hey Naia, what would you like for breakfast today?
Naia : Ummm…I don’t want any breakfast tengtu (thank you).
Mami : Ok, I’ll rephrase that. Would you like eggs or toast for breakfast?
Naia : Umm…chocolates

Naia playing with her cash register pretending to be at the check-out.
Mami : So how much will that cost?
Naia : Empat-puluh ribu (40 thousand rupiahs)
Naia : Here’re your groceries Bu, and here’s your money.
Mami : (Left utterly speechless and dumbfounded)

Naia and mami pretending to sell jellies at a warung
Naia : Bu, which one do you like? The strawberry or orange jelly?
Mami : I’d like the …. (thinking of the right answer)… orange one, please.
Naia : You like the strawberry one, RIGHT?
Mami : Sure. Hand it over.

Mami : Hey princess, it’s bath time.
Naia : No it’s not. It’s ice-cream time.
Mami : Like we’ve ever had a particular time for ice-cream hunny. C’mon, bath.
Naia : Dora likes ice-cream too..

Naia throwing her dolls in the air
Mami : Hey Naia. What are you doing that for?
Naia : Because it’s snowing.
So we put our jackets on…

Naia using an empty cologne bottle as a mobile-phone
Naia : Assalamualaikum Weng-weng..
Mami : Weng-weng? Who’s that?
Naia : (ignoring Mami’s question)
Weng-weng lagi meninggal kan? (You’re currently dead right?)
Mami : Hunny, people just die. They’re just dead.
Naia : Bye Weng-weng. Assalamualaikum, Kumsalaam..

Passing by Bread Talk
Naia : Mami I’m hungry.
Mami : So, what would you like to eat?
Naia : Bread mami. I’m reaaallly hungry.
Mami : Ok, choose which one you’d like to eat.
Naia : I want this one. Strawberry. Strawberry. Deliciouso (too much Dora)

Arriving at home
Mami : Here you go baby, here’s your bread.
Naia : Hmm..yummy.. deliciouso (while licking the jam)
Mami : I thought you were hungry, why aren’t you eating the bread? Try the bread dear. It’s also deliciouso.
Naia : (trying the bread and putting on a sour face). I don’t like the bread.
Mami : But you said you were hungry and chose this one.
Naia : But I’m hungry.
Mami : Heh? (eating Naia’s bread out of frustration).

Naia : Mami I want to go to Bali.
Mami : But we are in Bali.
Naia : I want to go to Bali and swim.
Mami : Aaaah…you mean hotel.

Naia : (singing) I’ll be there to protection..
Mami : What are you singing Nai?
Naia : I’ll be There.
Mami : Oooh..It’s I’ll be there to protect YOU.
Naia : Protec-TION.
Mami : You.
Naia : Tion.
Mami : You.
Naia : Tion. Tion. Tion.
Mami : Tion.
Naia : You.
Mami : Yesssss!!

After the incident of busting my DVD-rom on my MacBook by pushing 2 DVDs inside
Mami : What happened?
Naia : Well, I wanted to watch Dora. So I put Dora in. But Diego was inside. So, now your computer is broken.
Mami : Yeah, I noticed. So, now that the computer is broken, you can’t use it to watch anything again. No Dora. No Diego.
Naia : Oh well. Ok.
Mami : Could you be more careful next time?
Naia : Diego careful?
Mami : Aaaarrrgh..
Naia : Be careful mami..

Naia : Mami, why are you sad?
Mami : I’m ok honey. I just miss Papi very much.
Naia : It’s ok Mami. Naia’s here. Smile
