About

Assalaamu’alaikum..

Hello world! Halo! Kia Ora! 🙂 We are the Ghifary family. We are a family of 4. My name is Twindania Namiesyva, people called me Syva. I am a stay at home mom. I once planned to have this blog as a shared blog with my husband, but as per today, 110 post and counting, I am still the only writer here, oh well. My husband is Muhammad Ghifary, he now works as a researcher at Weta Digital. We both have a 5 yo daughter named Naisha and 1 yo son named Rumi.

We are originally a family from Indonesia but are now living in Wellington, New Zealand for about 5 years now. We moved here in 2013, when Mr. Ghifary started his PhD study which he has finished early 2016. And apparently we love this city and country so much, and Allah also thinks it’s better that we keep living here for a while, so in Wellington we stay.

I love to write about things around me, and my family. So in this blog you can found stories about our daily life, and for the past 4 years I wrote a lot about Wellington and New Zealand. The main purpose of this blog is to document our family journey, but it’s always a pleasure for me if the readers also gain the benefit from the information written in the posts. So, enjoy our blog dear readers! 🙂

Wassalaamu’alaikum.. 🙂
