girl, you grow up so fast, you are a four year baby now. Goosshh..slow down a bit, Mik. This past year has been great, funny and adventurous for all of us the family. We have been honored by another baby in our family, Sofia Amaris Suteja aka Cupi!! How do you feel to have a baby sister? You love her so much. Everyday you cuddle, kiss, hug, rub her head, lick her fingers (eeewwwww!!! Why do you do that??), dance for her, trying so hard to make her giggle. Yes, you also start to learn to share few things with her, including our attention. But don't worry, not even a bit of my love for you has gone away.
A lot of our shared events I would like to mention here, but let me state few of my own personal favourites. I brought you inside the church's main hall to listen to the sermon for the first time. There, you were surprisingly attentive to what the pastor said, and critically asked me few questions regarding the message. Even though your questions are mostly basic (and funny too), but I appreciate that, and want you to continue to groom that mind. Don't let others easily sway you, value the content and the logical cohesiveness more than its rhetorical style. Some of your questions are funny like "Pa, what is lembu? is that a dinosaur?" "Pa, gereja ini dipinjemi Tuhan ta?" "Pa, what is the message about? That's it? Why is it so long?", when the Holy Communion bread and grape juice were passed around, you asked "Ini sudah waktunya makan ta?" For four year old girl, those questions while are so funny, but girl...I have a hard time to answer some of those.
Another memory on my top 10 list of "Adventure With Mika", is when you were just back from Singapore holiday with Ama and Akong. You bought a nice T-shirt for Ibu since you remember to accidentally damage her T-Shirt before. Nobody asked you to buy that, nobody reminded you of that incident, you just remembered it during your holiday trip, and instantly asked Ama and Akong to buy T-shirt for Ibu. I can't be more proud than that. You have such a nice heart, compassionate for those who love you.
Mika oh Mika...we sure have other things that could not all fit to this blog, and some also are better kept for ourselves. I really can't wait for future adventures with you...gossshh...don't grow up too fast, please...
