Taman Simalem Resort

20-21 March were public holidays in Indonesia. It's actually long weekend, as 20 March is on Thursday. I supposed to join the outbound training from the school, but then I couldn't join since I have to bring Dave for immunization on 22 morning. Well, that's not topic. This Taman Simalem Resort is located at Merek, North-Sumatra, Indonesia. How to go to Merek? It's about 4 hours driving from Medan city or about 147 km, if am not mistaken. We have to pass through Green hill - Brastagi, Kabanjahe, and then Merek.

This resort is still developing. If this resort is completed, it will be a very good destination for relaxing. If it has casino, then this place is similar to Genting Highlands in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. From here, we can have Lake Toba view. There is a Buddhist temple, golf course, etc. Unfortunately, traffic-jam will be one of the reason people won't go there.

Social Charity

It was a great day outside. Apparently, we did social charity for those tricycle riders. In Medan, this tricycle is known as "becak". These riders have their own family and normally they don't earn much. Their age are varied from 15 to 70. Since they don't earn much and they have no skills in doing other things, thus, they are our target for this time charity.

It costs me Rp 9.125.000. I love travelmate designs compare to aspire. That's the reason I choose travelmate. Well, I love vaio & fujitsu better though. But then, their prices are way too much up there... :(

Ripe Apple?

Things are getting tough when you face a problem and you couldn't have the solutions just like what you wish to have. Well, absolutely Mr. and I have different Point of View (PoV) for certain things. Mr. is a kind of person that has early satisfaction, meanwhile, mine is vice versa. The most recent thing is regarding learning new things, especially reading from books or passages. Mr. is totally reluctant to do this, well, the excuse is he doesn't like books since he was a kid. I totally couldn't take this as an excuse. Why people have to stop learning? Why you have to stop learning at this kind of age? Are you on your mature side already? If yes, then this will be just like a ripe apple that is waiting to go bad. If Mr. still reluctant to do this in the near future, then I really couldn't achieve the wish that I want since I were a kid.

End of Feb 2008

Hey... It's the last day of Feb. It seems like I didn't do something useful for this first 2 months.. except I see Dave is growing from day to day. Another thing is we did plan for our vacation somewhere in Oct and Nov. Air Asia had a promotion the other day, and the fare is quite cheap. It costs only Rp600,000.- KL - Medan -KL flight. Then we booked KL - Bangkok - KL flight. We'll bring Dave along also as he'll be 1 year old by that time.

desperado...

Life should be beautiful & wonderful... But, somehow, in the certain period of time, you will reach this phase called desperate or maybe the correct word is depression...??? Some says that this world is fill with beautiful things and it's good to be alive... Some says that this world sucks and have no purposes in life... I kinda thing that what you feel and what you experience are all based on what you have in life now. If your life is improving (getting better & better), then life should be fun, and vice versa.

If you are born lucky, then it's good. Whatever you do in life will turn perfect. U get what you want and you enjoy life...!!!
