My husband drew it for me with pencil and water colour. The initial sketch was inspired by this picture of me with my white hat and purple dress, he simplified it and make it cuter than ever ^.^ Here he is at work: And the result! Unfortunately, the letters become unreadable once the picture is resized. So I cut out the blue balloon and change the letterings. Here’s the final result! \(^.^)/ If you want to link to me, you can grab my button by copying and pasting the code below.

Suddenly there was a guy came to us and told me that he wanted to photograph Sidra for a street style section in a kid’s fashion magazine. I asked Sidra about it and he agreed, so we went with him to meet the photographer. Standing beside the photographer was a familiar face, it was the editor of Sesame magazine that we met last year for the fashion shoot in Tottori! He seemed surprised too to see us and immediately remember ‘Shidora’, the Indonesian boy. He was also surprised to know that now Sidra can speak Japanese. The editor gave me some form to fill and his assistant took notes of what Sidra was wearing. After the snapshot was taken, he told me that the picture would be published in their January edition and he would send me the magazine. Then we resumed our walk, (me) feeling a bit, uh, nostalgic to see these fashion stylists working on a weekend day. A memory of [...] November 13th, 2009 | life Sidra: Mama, when I grow up, I wanna be Maikeru Jakuson! Mama: Oh? That’s good. Why do you wanna be like Michael Jakson? Sidra: Because he’s a great dancer! Sidra: Ma, which one is greater, Maikeru Jakuson or Obama? Mama: Uh… well… they’re different. I don’t think we can compare them. Sidra: What can Obama do? Mama: Obama? Let’s see… what can he do? He’s smart, he’s the president of USA. Sidra: Is that it? Can he dance? Mama: Well, I don’t think he can dance. Sidra: Then Maikeru Jakuson is the greater one! Sidra: Ma, how many Maikeru Jakuson are there? Mama: Huh? There’s only one of him. What do you mean? Sidra: But why does he have different faces?
