Thanks February

I am really sorry for skipping the month February, with my absence in this blog.  By far, February has been really awesome for me, and I believe for my friends too.  Lots of excitement, experience, and joy for sure.  It has been a great holiday indeed, in between my duties during the internship.  I hardly believe that February has passed.

Closing January with spending Chinese New Year in Sunway, Malaysia.  In fact, after 3,5 years staying here, this is my first time celebrating Chinese New Year in Sunway.  It was super quite.  Well, maybe not as quite as CNY in Singapore I spent 3 years ago.  But still, shops, restaurants, and even hawker stalls were closed.  Boring? NO.  I spent my CNY with my friends, had CNY's eve dinner like how it should be.  (Even I never did it back home).  We cooked and enjoyed some dishes, just simple and nice.

It was so great that February has many public holidays, at the beginning of the month, me and my friends went to Ipoh for half day food experience, Sungei Klah Hot Spring, and finally, Cameron Highlands.  It was great!  I didn't know that I have been to the hot spring until the time I reached there.  It was the same hotspring I went with church friends' Peter, Siew Mien, Yee Seng, Antonia, Andrew, and the rest maybe 2 years ago.  Nothing much changed, I think it was more crowded because of the long weekend we went on.

I love the Ipoh dimsum, well maybe I just like dimsum in general, the nice one.  Great menu for breakfast.  Menglembu is our next stop for food trip.  Ate like mad. Ais kacang, fried kuey teow, honey chicken, fried chicken, wantan mee, etc, etc.  *full of guilty now.. hikshiks.* We reached Cameron late at night, and had to miss the pasar malam, had a nice apartment unit for 10 of us. :)) I LOVE the weather.  reminds me of Puncak, Ahhhh.. it's been a while........


After the FUN time I spent with friends, it was time for family time.  We planned to have a family reunion, together with Papa's b'day by visiting Medan!!!! Excited.  As many of my friends are from Medan, they started promoting all the good things about Medan, and un-fortunately it is FOOD again!!!! Of course I wouldn't miss the opportunity. Hahaha.. Prepared with a to-go-and-to-eat-list, I flew to Medan from KL, while Pap, Mam, and Yason flew from Jakarta.

Danau Toba and Sipiso-piso waterfall are BEAUTIFUL!  The lake is so huge, no wonder it can appear on the map.  About the Medan city itself, we were focused on food, as what people suggested.  It is so fortunate that we stayed in Swiss Bell inn Medan, which is just behind, Selat Panjang, where many good foods are located.
