Medan @ Day 3….

Early in the morning, I took some photos at the hotel swimming pool side before going to the hotel restaurant for buffet =)

Well, the hotel buffet is better than yesterday. It had bread, watermelon juice, and PORRIDGE…hehe~

Then we continued our journey back to MEDAN.

It took about 2 hours plus, and we seen many nice scenery from top and took many pictures as well.

On the way, we also passed by Green Hill City (like Disneyland)… I saw the Ferry of Wheels… wanna go in n play so much but so bad, it only open on weekend… T.T

When we reached Medan, the tour guide bring us to visit a unique building… it was a combination of mosque, church n temple…

The name of the place is Graha Maria Annai Velangkanni—GRAND MOSQUE/ VELANGKANY CHURCH/ CHINESE TEMPLE/ SRIMARIAMAN TEMPLE…

We went up the 2^nd floor. It was a church. There’s ppl who came here to pray. Basically it was like a Catholic Church. The wall was painted with pictures and bible verses.

Next, we went for SHOPPING at SUN PLAZA

The first thing my mum wanna do is wash hair. So she went to the hair salon and ask me to wash too, but I prefer washing myself. So I went around shopping alone and bought an ice cream, hehe.

After that, I went back to find my mum again and we went for lunch at Shang Hai Restaurant in the Sun Plaza. The ‘xiao long pao’ there was famous and nice… I always love to eat ‘dim sum’ ….hehe~

In Sun Plaza, there’s a shop selling teddy bears…the teddy behind the glasses is so big, I like it so much….

Took photos with them. Hehe. My Medan friend told me that the shop is selling the teddy’s clothes as well and other accessories eg hat, scarf…. But it was expensive…

After shopping, we went to find the person who will be bringing us around the next few days… He was a doctor who owned a medical centre—Medan Medical Centre.

His son is also a doctor and another is a dentist, working with his son in law at the MMC as well.

We stay upstairs the MMC, which is his house from today till the day we back Malaysia.

After settle down, we had some rest and wait for the cell group to start at his house(the MMC building).

Finally, the cell group members came. And it started with dinner, then went up a room for cell group meeting.

My mum introduced to them ‘Praise Dance Exercise’ and they were laughing n enjoying so much…

The cell group end about 11pm… which is 12 midnight (Malaysia time). Omg, never experience such a long meeting before~ but really enjoyed too when saw them all so friendly…

Medan Trip Day 2

sorry for the late update... coz my house got no Internet since the day i came back from Medan.
In Medan also, only the first day can online, although tat hotel is lauzy but got wi-fi. other day can't online also. and can't charge battery as the pin plug is different.


Well, here’s the dinner for yesterday. It was by the Quality Siantar Hotel restaurant.

The name Quality was stated but the hotel is not standard at all, already very old (no upgrade n renovate) n the food also not really good.

On day 2, We had our breakfast in the hotel restaurant again. It was better compare to the dinner coz the breakfast is buffet. But dun expect too much, it is just fried rice, fried mee, fried egg and fried chicken and also timun, tomato plus with keropok. For drinks, only coffee or tea, and plain water. ( I want American breakfast n bread…)

After breakfast we start our journey in Lake Toba today. Pass by the morning market there while going to the jetty. (super complex)

We went to cruise the Lake Toba by Ferry Boat about 45 minutes (low standard as well compare to the ferry we use to ride to Pangkor Island). Coz the ferry boat is open air one, only the front part covered.

We went the Samosir Island there for visiting the Tomok Village to see the old grave stone of King Sidabutar. Our tour guide was explaining to us about the history of the King’s grave which the King’s throne is powerful n respected by every ppl during tat time.

Meanwhile, we also visited the Bomoh House, where many tourist took pic with the fade bomoh. Mum said, last time when she came, there was puppet show which is free to watch. Now our tour guide say whoever wanna watch have to pay ==”

After visiting and also walking at the street market, we went back to Parapat by the ferry boat and transferred to Local Restaurant - -Hong Kong Restaurant for lunch.

Here’s the lunch:

Mum was complaining the food is terrible although it was Chinese food. And it was so little only….

Then we continued to Berastagi.

It was a long journey…

We stop at Simarjarunjung to enjoy the famous ginger tea n pisang goring there.

( it was just like a place at Cameron Bharat for ppl to stop by n have tea beside enjoying nice scenery).

However, the Ginger Tea taste like Bah Kut Teh to me…..haha~

After 1 hour + journey, we stop at Sipiso Piso Waterfall to see the nice waterfall n also the extraordinary view of Lake Toba from top….

The scenery was really nice n natural. My brother n I took many pictures there….

The hills reminds me of the movie: The Sound of Music…. =) love it~

We proceed to Berastagi upon arrival at Berastagi, we visit Central Fruits Market.

There was also horse car riding….of course need $$$

I bought a shirt there. (you really need to 讨价还价to get urself a good price…)

Finally, we went to check in to Hotel.

N had dinner at the hotel….

The hotel today is better than yesterday one, it was 4 star hotel, but….no WI-FI !!! Haiz.

So just watch TV and sleep. Well, there’s a Christian Channel which is discussing about Bible and also daily life… good!

Medan Trip Day 1

departure from Sitiawan -- Star Shuttle Bus at 11pm.
reach KLIA at about 2.35am, then finally reach LCCT 廉价机场at around 3 something.
our flight is 7.40am, still not yet time to check in the luggage.
so we went to Mc Donald n had our breakfast. i ate Porrigde...^^ like it~ haha.
there's an area for all the passengers to watch FIFA world cup. there are 6 plasma TV there in a row but not big one. many ppl just sit on the floor to watch it. (as in the photo)



then we waited at the airport until 4.30am to check in our luggage.
it was a long queue since we line up a bit late. many Indonesian guy n gal going back and with lots of staffs. most of them overload n had to pay extra money to the agent.

after check in luggage, we went to the boarding area to take a good rest. about one hour more to go on the flight.




finally, we're on the flight AK 450 at 7.40am
after 55 minutes, we reached Polonia Airport, Indonesia.


then we found our tour guide who was holding an A4 paper printed my mum's name. haha.
we went into the car-- Toyota Innova (but in Indonesia, they called it Kijang Innova).
i just can't stand with the worker here who always ask for tips as they just help a bit...
luckily the tour guide pay it, haha.
so we went to the road after sitting in the car....

along the road I notice Medan ppl mostly using Toyota Innova & Unser and also Avanza.
but they called Unser as Kijang.
besides, there are also many buses (mini one) and trishaw seen on the road.


u may notice one thing: the mini bus is open air one, which means the door does not close. behind also. =="

and one more thing, the ppl here driving so dangerously (to me)... they can go very near to each other's car n always horn each other. the tour guide say this is the way they communicate... ><

Our first stop today: Palace of Sulthen Deli



nothing much to see actually.
simply take few photos then leave.



then we went on toward Lake Toba...

sittting in the car for about 3 n a half hour.
坐到屁股都痛，哈哈。那司机竟然没停。。。只好在车睡觉。。。。

终于，来到了土产店：Pematang Siantar

i was asking, why we come Indonesia eat Malay food, then Uncle Choo Hua say: Indonesia almost like Malay la...

here is our lunch...
(have to eat rice, haiz...no other choice)


after lunch, we're going to Lake Toba at last. about 1 hour journey...



The tour guide say LAKE TOBA is the largest lake in the Asia Tenggara.

神祝福大家。。。每一天要开心。。。。

new hair style =)

today is already the beginning of July. one more month, i'm going back to uni life again. should i feel happy or sad? dual, hahaha...

leaving from Sitiawan to LCCT then to Medan by flight tomorrow night. happy... going wif mum n bro. n also another church member. mum is going there to preach. (after postponing for about one year)...

so today, went and do my hair. hehe., i always like re bonding = straight hair. coz in my opinion, i'm still young, should not do my hair curly. haha. it will make me looks too mature comparing to my age. may be after graduating, about 24 years old or 25, i'll try do curly hair.

suppose to do re bonding at U salon Ayer Tawar, but i dun really like the environment there. abit complicated n the skill...ok only. last year before Chinese New Year i just went there n do. so wanna change different salon n hair stylist. haha.
finally, my mum brought me to Kg Koh - the name of the salon is Beauty Hairstyle.
there's no worker i guess. just the boss n his wife. both of them are young n talented in hairstyling (in my view). haha.

well, it cost RM 150 this time for my hair straightening. coz the hair stylist say he use the good cream(from Italy one)...
haha. ok fine.

here's before n after:


yesterday after church at Elder Lee's house.



before leaving house today...


then after went to Beauty Hairstyle Salon:

here it is....
love my new hair style.
unless it doesn't look messy n curly...

h

oh my braces...
make me feel pain past few days, coz just went back to the dentist to tighten it again.

have to do so every month. n everytime after went back dentist, i'll feel pain, n need my saviour-- PORRIDGE. haha.
i hate rice since i put braces coz it always stuck in my braces there. so most of the time i was saying i want to eat porridge, or else is eat mee.\
so now i can't imagine how am i going to survive when bak to aimst. coz hostel food is always rice, where got porridge? only saturday dinner... but saturday i'll went bak home or go to church.

so.... i also dun know, haha. see how la that time. one and a half month more. so no worry =) hehe.


last photo:
at my house garden...






till then... going to capture nice photo in Medan during the coming trip.
just so bad that my sis n dad can't go, coz they got work n studies.

anyway, i'm still looking forward for the next family trip^^
