Here They Are.

The tale of the kids: Pictures tells it all.

As the time goes by, we're going to miss them.

Family Profile: Children.

My children are always my inspiration. They are my everything. But they are like a box of chocolate, it's hard to predict them. I always tell my wife "what we can do as a parent is only giving them guide line, and the rest is up to them. We stand here only as an observer." We observed and learn from them. Their time and our time are too far apart. For me, the best thing we can do is leaning from them and they will teach us how to guide them.

Alicia

She was born 23 of Mei 1996. I was 27 at that time. Become a father to this lady is not easy. Since I was a first time farther, I have to implement try and error policy. Of course we minimize the error part. When she was 7, she turn-up as a fast learner girl,until now. She's an athletic kind of person. She represented her school for gimrama when she was 9. She also a sprinter and has a long distance stamina. Though I will run with her for my full 42km marathon. But she did convinced me that she's more sprinter type of person. As soon as she got her first spike shoes , she's dominating 100m, 200m and 4x200m track. I'm impressive with her achievement.

With her brother and sisters, she's close with everyone of them. She is firm sister but she know when she need to be firm. I have every reason why I need to learn a lot from her.

Heidi

The Only boy and my only son. He was born on 6 of April 1999. I was not in the labour room when he came in to this wold. I was at home with Alicia who needed me to replace her mummy who was delivering her brother at that time. When I first saw him, I know he is a patient guy. His patient as thick as Harry Potter's last book. He is not a demanding guy. He can live with his life and he satisfied with it. I think thats how he can focus and learn from everything, even from a leaves. His passionate about learning and studying things, and thats include dinosaur. At this moment, he is focusing to become a good story teller which will complete him as a potential future researcher, I hope.

He is a quite bro. He don't talk much but when he laughs, he will wake up a sleeping elephant. He like jokes. Activities with his sisters, is always playing. They can play anything, for hours. But when comes to responsibility, he is the one we can rely on. He will not leaves his task to another person. Proofed many time.

For me, he is someone I can take as a good example.

Kirana

Baby among them all. She's the most adorable, pinky type of girl and love girlish very much. She's honest but some time play small little tricks to attract us. 7 years old chubby girl and have many friend in school. Nothing much I can tell about her right now as we still observing and learning about her. But what I can assure you, anybody can fall in love with her as soon as you meet her. She just adorable..

Kurnia

She is my last one and she is brutal.. what I mean, she will express what she feels on the spot. No hesitation. She like something or she not like it, we will know straight away. I think, she love that way she is because every time when she express herself, she will sleep soundly. She also a happy kid. As for now,not much information I know about her. What I see her right now, is just a baby, a growing up baby. By time, she will tell us what to do next, about her.

My Family Profile- My wife, Mona.

My Lovely And Adorable wife Mona

I think the name "Mona" is the most suitable ladies name to be around me. We live together for more than 15 year without divorce. Yes, we do fight,but the issue solved either I'll be backing up or she'll be withdrawing her self from the argument and this what she always do most of the time. Hmmm.. I'm not cruel ok.. but, we are no angles. Mistakes come from both of us. Actually I'm being blessed with her around. She's a great cook, loving mum and great friend to me. She's not only that, she also a successful cupcakes maker. She's own a company called Mona's Choice. I will tell you about Mona's Choice latter in other post. She's a hard working company owner. You should take her as a good example. I do...

Her relation with my kids is always close. Alicia, No stories never been hide from her mum. Especially when she call herself "teenager".She's growing up from a girl to a lady. In this period, she can be somebody that we don't want her to be and she choose her mum to become her adviser. Lucky us... Thank God. Her daddy sometimes only can watch and sometime try to get a hint the secret they share. Mona told me to back off. Let ladies do the talk about ladies. That no man business.. it is..? Please.. I'm her dad.. I want to know..!! But she said, "Dad, this is ladies biz.. please respect." And I keep quiet after the word "respect" came out from her mouth. They just keep sharing things and that's making them close day after day.

With my son,my only son, Mona is his angle,life saver, protector, and the list goes on. He will not do anything without telling her mum, even if we travel far away, he will call his mum to say good night, every night, every single day. Enough talking. I'm getting jealous...

My other two daughters,they can't live without her mum. Daddy become their play ground. If they want anything, they will ask mummy. And if mummy say no, only daddy become a shoulder to relay on. Sweet kids.

Last word: I have a wonderful life with Mona's around me. She is "bitter sweet chocolate".
