Short excursion to Medan

We were here again in less than a year... for the same reasons, break from work, do nothing, just relax and no thought about work.

 

Work is pretty much demanding for year 2014.... long working hours has became norm for my schedule... but work has to be done and completed without excuse... but when your sacrifice is rewarded with short break, trust me, you'll gained an overloaded energy, in fact more than you needed... it's like booster....

Eat, swim, gym, spa , massage, good breakfast , good sleep are part of the unplanned package... Just walk with the flow.. the rule of thumb, do avoid any activities that makes you tired.... that's why Medan city is chosen... minimal traveling hours...

So my two days one night breakaway ended memorably with all these.... syukur Alhamdulillah....

It's a good beginning with warm welcome by the reception counter that greeted us and the first line that she said to me "Selamat kembali buk Nurlin"... I have not checked in but have decided to come again for another trip..

welcome drink

skyview room

comfortable bedding

Delicious breakfast after work out... Lap after lap on the cross trainer makes you feel good but came with hunger too... That could be my license to have a heavy breakfast

Sweet stuffs

DIY breakfast platter...

Great toast with melted butter and assorted spread

An evening walk...

with great companion.... enche hubby

hunting for street food... too good to resist..

dropped by to say hello to my ex maid....Yani, she's doing good

visit local market... for harum manis....

and look at the beetroots....

enjoying best slimy cendol in town served with gula aren

Dine at Wajir Seafood.... most famous spot for seafood in Medan town... this is the main reason why ai write this post. While we were there,  couldn't recalled what was the name of this shop that we went to eat during our last trip. Ai don't plan or research for trip lately... we just walk the flow, enjoy what comes through so going off empty handed.... that's more candid and excited...Then enche hubby quickly grab his phone or rather asked me to have a quick google from my blog.... so my blog served as my own reference point... ai have to admit that we are human and tend to forget things.... so ai got this info right away.. how thankful ai am.... so ai told myself that moment should be written to be remembered otherwise it will be forgotten, good things should be shared otherwise it will not be benefited....... upon his Will, Insya Allah

 

Look at the flaming fire from the wok....

this is just a dish from few others that we ordered.

That's about all on the snapshot of our quick sneak out from town...  am fully recharged, rejuvenated and am ready to jump higher taking up more challenges ahead.....


and the last thing to do is fly back.... Malaysia, home sweet home....
