The Diary Game May 05, 2024: Try Turkey Kebab Street Culinary

^{Turkey Kebab Street Culinary - Syamtalira Bayu Sub District}

Sunday was a memorable day for my family and me because we were able to carry out our daily routine with our family, even though we didn't take advantage of the holiday to go on a tourist trip, traveling around our hometown was a memorable moment.

This week I started by accompanying my youngest child to play Gamelan, he seemed bored at home but I tried to accompany him so as not to disturb his mother who was rubbing some clothes. A little information, Gamelan is one of the traditional Javanese and Balinese music.

Some time ago I visited one of the neighbouring districts, namely East Aceh, to stay in touch, in the yard of the local Regent's office I saw that many children's toys were being sold there, I bought them for IDR. 25,000 at that time.

This musical instrument is used by hitting, hammer-like beaters made of wood and bamboo handles, but I have never seen the original version of this musical instrument. This is just a toy musical instrument designed to be as similar to the real thing as possible.

^{Accompany children to watch fairy tales}

It was already 17.00 in the afternoon, but my two children were not asleep yet, I played a fairy tale video before going to bed, this fairy tale tells the story of Princess Thumbelina and Prince Aron, where the conclusion of this fairy tale is that good things done sincerely without realizing it will be rewarded in kind. without realizing.

This is an important lesson for my two children so that from a young age they can apply habits and sincerity in their daily lives. Through fairy tales like this, they will understand the importance of life and interactions with others.

^{Shopping for Daily Needs}

In the afternoon I decided to buy some kitchen necessities, I visited several traditional shopping centres in Syamtalira Bayu District and Samudera District. I bought several necessities such as cooking oil and other kitchen spices, meanwhile, I also bought some flower-making media made from water straws.

I chose green and purple drinking water straws because the concept was to make lavender flowers from plastic, which was my daughter's craft assignment at school. Actually, I'm confused about this kind of assignment because grade 1 elementary school students, I don't think they are capable of having design skills, but to fulfil their assignment, I will help them as much as possible.

^{Buy Turkey Kebab}

My first daughter really likes snacks like kebabs, when she came home from the market, she saw a trader selling kebabs on the side of the road, I approached the turkey kebab seller and ordered 2 portions of kebabs filled with meat and vegetables. For 1 portion of turkey kebab, it is sold at IDR. 10,000.

^{Accompanying Nephew to Operate Drone}

When I got home I saw my nephew waiting for me to come home, he asked me to teach him to operate a toy drone that he had just received as a gift from his uncle who had just returned from office work in Malaysia.

I actually don't understand how to operate it, but by looking at the guide on YouTube, finally, the toy drone can be operated properly. I was very enthusiastic about using this drone to shoot from above, but because the wind was blowing hard, I chose to postpone shooting from above.

^{Lavender Flowers from Drinking Water Straws}

Before I finished some office tasks at the Coffee Shop, I helped my daughter design flowers made from drinking water straws. The manufacturing process was quite complicated because I had to look for some wire to use as flower stems, and then wrap drinking water straws that had been cut into pieces on the surface of the wire. which I have covered with green paper.

Tonight I just finished a few sprigs of lavender and I will continue again tomorrow until finished.

^{Drinking coffee while working}

Drinking coffee is a habit and even an inevitable routine, I decided to visit one of the coffee shops where I and other Steemians usually hang out. I started ordering coffee and turned on my MacBook.

I started updating some data on the state civil service website, this updated data is an important part and is integrated with other applications such as Satu Sehat and SISDMK. Thank God, everything is finished and I started writing The Diary Game as a short story about my daily activities
