'Mba' Olive.. my new buddy from Leuser rain forest

Going to Tangkahan Langkat was quiet a journey - travelling with Amie Uni and her buddies from the office was wonderful!!!








Met new friend Alec and also the sweet auntie Nonnie.. oom Inal ...oom Amin... oom 'Pincok'

Here.. introducing the Sumatran's elephants... Olive (an elephant baby who is only 6 years old!)Tio, Eva, Sari and others...

Friends, do you know the Leuser National Park rain forest is one of a kind? There is no other place in this world that still has multiple big wild mammals... so why can't we watch nature - because all this time it has been wathing and guarding us?

More art work.. love my doggie picture? WuFF!.. :o)

they post my work for the COVER!!! Groovy...

Dasha Shamira Putri finally proved that her artwork is considered by the Department of State as one of the best drawings to be printed for the A-OK 2007 calendar... and she was only 4 when she did the drawing.... Her drawing was even used as the cover!!!! Go girl!
Nostalgic overview: This reminds Amie Uni of the time when she won first place at St. Joseph school, beating the elementary students for her 3 colored scenery drawing. And from that they she believes strongly on the power of Al-Fatihah and Al-Ikhlas... as Dasha's Neni always said, that time " Be confident adek (that time was meant for Amie Dasha)... work hard and pray ask for Allah's blessing... Insya Allah good things will come to you" and.. it worked before... it works now..

So Dasha.. and Aqila.. and 'another one' if ever going to arrive at our Rumah Batoe Puteh bunch.. this hopefully will teach you that as long as you have good and strong will, you focus, you work hard and believe in Allah.. it will come to you..

Congratulations Dasha! Keep up the good work...
[Note: A-Ok Calendar Competitions is a pretty challanging drawing competitions of children of American and local staff who works at the foreign mission. The theme was "Living Safely Overseas" Dasha was joining the competions among thousands of this group of children around the world. End Note]

Third Grade Fun

Dasha has the principal to just be friends with everyone. Abi was a nice boy who likes to let her read his comics, then Yaya, a friend to hang out with.. and the class was just filled with busy happy kids! :)

That morning, I came with a camera to Dasha's class and BUOY!! the excitement of kids today to have their pictures taken. I remember that when I was small I was too afraid of camera and like.. didn't know how to pose..

I love you Dasha! Be nice to everyone as always okay.. luv, Amie.
