Building an Orange tower

I love orange . i can have three orange after and before dinner.

This is my orange Tower.

You can see the the orange tower is collapse. its just giving away. its hard to balance the whole orange.

I'll do my best next time. now i gotta eat the orange. He-he

Halloween or Hallowe'en

Happy
Halloween

2010
everyone.
 

Sunday with Two banana

Finnaly , I complete my sunday

Swimming Class - Checked

Collecting Sofa money - Checked

Go Jungle - Checked

Buy Fruits - Checked 

lately its getting easier for me to get a cramp while " showing off " my college free style to my students . so i decide to had a banana this morning to avoid cramp . and just coincidence , Kenneth's mom also gave me Fried Banana after the class. 

just as you know like i always did "paiseh2"  eat the fried banana . one banana is never enough , but at that time ,eating one banana in front of them , is already feels like having five banana at once . so i stop at one banana.

this time Kenneth's father also came for swim . what a happy family .hopefully they buy sofa from me and hopefully i have my future happy family too ...

happy Sunday and happy Halloween everyone

Taman Simalem Resort - Pearl of Lake Toba - Part 3

Lets us move to the part 3 of my unforgettable trip to Simalem.

I wet my pants here.OMD , So stupid i sit on the wet stairs ... errr suddently my butt felt cold . but it dry very quick lhooo ..

Anyway , She is wearing the Crocs , very useful because the whole area is wet and its kind of slippery. so pips , if you want to enjoy your pre-wedding photography session , please wear what ever things that makes you feel comfortable . so then you will have your best smile on that moment.

We are now moving from "Amphitheater " to the Temple "Tianzhu Chansi".

 

Making a turn to the left , we passed the Fountain . but its not working that time. 

Tempat ini bersih , aku tidak melihat sampah di mana mana . tempatnya masi adem juga that time. we get lucky , ppl there told us that if its not raining , the the place will be so hot at that time . Phiuhhhh . i cant imagine klo panas nya sambil prewed photo ini. thanks God.

 

She looks tired , can see from the face . but i hope she feels like the way i feels . im tired but im damm happy.

I bet he got a good Kungfu . He is the security guard without self defense equipment. pentungan kek ato apa kek ... err.... ( i open the window and saying hi to him while taking this picture) haha he is half smiling ...

We are arriving at the Temple " Tianzhu Chansi" ukiran ukiran di dinding temple tersebut sangat lah indah . love the details.

Wanhan posing right in front of the temple entrance.

Finished the Pose at temple . this is us again ....

Ok we are now moving to the next place . i called it Small waterfall. hujan nya tambah deras nih. but still can photo lah that time .

This is the bridge to the waterfall , we are passing the honeymoon suit. ( i dont thing im gonna choose this place ) still hutan sure still got lot of ghost la

The small water fall , the place is super slippery , so have to be careful ya . tempatnya ini licin2 . kursi yang ada di sebelah kiri pun berlumut2 . aiks ...

 

I love this one. haha i took it while the rain is getting big , Assistant photographer , Wanhan and the helper is running back to the car now. safely arrived at the car and we are finding the place to get change.

Yahooooooo  this is the last part. the One Tree Hill , its our casual wear here.

awan nya tambah hitam dan menebal , angin bertiup semakin kencang . aikss photographer shout "faster faster"

One of the pose near to the "One Tree Hill " 

kita bergaya tepat di landasan pacu untuk paralayang

Hiks hiks .. time is up . the weather is not very friendly back then . so is the time. its around 6.00 Pm  its time for us to move.

holla this is me again . wanhan took this pic for me . title " bergaya sebelum pulang " : )

Yahooo . we are going back to KODON KODONG cafe to fulfill our FREE " Tea break " cannot miss it.

Our Tea Break . What you want? Coffee , Tea ... Milk tea ?

The " Fried Banana with chocolate and Cheese " so nice ...

If its not the package . 1 piece of the pisang goreng will cost you "Rp 20.000"

 Here we go . this is the main entrance to the cashier .Its still raining , Small rain . So cold . the air is so nice ... brrrr brrrr . i suppose to buy jacket ...  the air here is almost the same like Genting. (Hmmm thinking of going to genting with friends again or maybe future wife. :) LOL ...)

alamakkk . i forgot to snap the toilet foto , the toilet have the big transparent window where you can see the outside view . just imagine when you pee and you look to your right , you can see the Lake Toba ... hehe

Look what i found , actually this grasshopper is flying around me . i'm trying to catch him (just assume that the grasshopper is male ai'right) and  slowly he get tired , maybe its so cold and raining . so finally the grasshopper landed on the wet floor and he gave me time to use the macro zoom on him . haha . he is a beautiful strong grasshopper. he is so green  and he remind me of the Satria Baja hitam

This is Our Free lunch . Ohh the Cafe Provide us a very warm welcome and why all of the waiter wearing jacket and im not . im So cold that time . no one to hug  HIksss... There is no time to talk . too hungry to talk . Lets get back to the business.

 Plain Rice , Vegetable , Emping , Chicken Curry , and broccoli with mushroom

Me add 3 time of rice and Me finished all the Unfinished Menu. and Finally wanhan said " mai ciak liao , tan baju be muat " and what she said its actually true . celana dan baju serasa sempit semua . 

I'm still finding my way out of this Fat Hole 

And this is my very first appearance in a very handsome good looking suits . bu i do look like bakpao right . its white and its tight .

Wanhan First pose . you can see the whole view of lake toba . OH MY GOD . this place is so beautiful and wanhan also beautiful ... hihi :)

Ok this is not a very good view for me . HAND PLEASE , HAND PLEASE  ....

We are taking picture around the Kodon Kodon Cafe . Budi the photographer and Hendra is the Assistant Photographer.

Most of the time Wanhan pose alone . without me . and so pastinya  this is the time for me and my canon in action . hahaha

We are leaving the KODON KODON Cafe . and now We are arriving at the second place to take photo .

Entah ada angin apa , Kau berdiri di sana

May 26th 2006 , i dream about bread

Dreaming is good, but too much dream makes you regret of having dream that cant came true.
so I’m dreaming of a bread that i cant imagine, a bread that i never taste before, a bread that is look so good that makes everyone willing to do anything for it ?

i still cant imagine the shape of the bread. but if i can imagine, I’m sure that bread is in a very very unique color and shape with wonderful taste. (i think i watch yakitate too much)

Our Photographer

Before moving on the Second part of SIMALEM , Let me introduce , This is our Pre-wedding photographer . he had a good joke and always say " chio chio chio " means smile smile smile. his name is "Budi" from Yamano bridal.

he is the one who arrange our pose and he shoot a good photo of us @ Taman Simalem Resort - Merek hills - Pearl of Lake Toba - Sumatra island - Indonesia.

its cool being a photographer . i think they have a great job. they travel a lot ( i love traveling ) , meet more people . shoot more photos and more friends of course.

Taman Simalem Resort - Pearl of Lake Toba - Part 1

So our destination for the outdoor pre-wedding photography is " Taman Simalem Resort " I am so double excited.

Its located on the hills of north-western part of Lake Toba , One of the highest and deepest Crater Lakes in the WORLD. Its located 45 minutes away from the resort town of Berastagi and can also be reached in 2.5 hours by road from Medan , the provincial capital of North Sumatera.INDONESIA.

Aand the catalog lied . its not 2.5 hours but its 4 hours by road with crazy driver . and if normal driver like me will reach in 4.5 hours.

 

 Its 5.00am in the morning , the alarm rang so loud , and i know its time to wake up . we will have a taxi coming at 6.00am and we are going to Yamano for ... rias rias.

That morning , We had only "Cup noodle " for our breakfast. seems to be Fine for the first 1 hours. but not after that. and akhirnya aku keliling persekitaran untuk mencari Wantanme pas wanhan lagi di rias rias. haha

 

 

Its 6.15 Am , So early but we already here at Yamano . sleepy face but happy.

 This is the second time in my life " Facial " I dunno what the girl applied to my face . it feels cold , and finally the thing went dry and when i try to move i got this weird white dust around my face and kena my eyes.... err.r... WHat the ...tuuuttt...

 

9.00am . Finally wanhan finished with the make up , and she become other girl liao , different face . my friend said she looks like "peggy" other girl. haha

the sleepy happy face . we get excited with the outdoor photo today . we choose SIMALEM even the girl who take care of our Wedding-Photography packet suddenly convincing us to go KOTA LADANG. well if i choose Kota ladang , maybe i wont go so far to medan.

 

we want simalem and we got simalem, but tobe more precise its " small rain Simalem" it was the small raining the whole day"

The Ticket to Simalem = Rp 1.850.000 ( because we went there for a wedding photography package , so we need to pay such price.

Hire taxi 12 hours = Rp 300.000 ,( Driver salary = Rp 125.000 (if you are going out of town) , And Petrol = Rp150.000

Extra hour will be charge at Rp 20.000

Oh ya , the taxi , if you go Medan and you Dont want to travel the whole town with Becak , you can call this taxi at this number : they are friendly and ya good loh.. +62 816 3119816 / +62 81396510644

Finally we reach . What is that "Mejuah juah"

We still have 34 Kilometer to reach our destination. some are sleeping , some carving for smoke , and me im still having my cough sweet . i had a bad sore throat . i got a heavy dizzy in my head . but i dont look like sick . because sick is not my style . i gotta enjoy more life rather than thinking about being sick.

Heyy Heyy WOW WOW WOW SOme thing i cant find at my hometown. look at the view . i love the view. we are finally get to see a beautiful scenery of the locals duing some farming , growing crops i think. hehe

 

 i did sleep for like an hours. i must get to Simalem with a fresh "happily ever after" face. haha

but passing this road is a bad bad idea. full of holes  , big one. i mean this is so bad. Government should do something FAST FAST FAST. like "superman FAST". because we paid them with our Tax money everymonth. and see where all the money gone to ?

 

Everybody . we are now arriving at TAMAN SIMALEM RESORT . We gotta do what we gotta do.

hufff hufff. i believe i have a flat ass , the bakpao gone .

Stay tuned ya . welcome and don't forget to come back for Part 2.

we can Take Becak from Thamrin baru to Yamano will cost you rupiah 12.000 . Cheap lee . but the becak are not friendly for us . The seats is to small . (ok this is not about Becak at Medan, this is about Gown fitting) no wonder i always get scolded by my English teacher at Malacca - Miss Rose  always put the Red ink writing ' Out Of Point" at my paper , and joni's paper too ... hehe (my buddy at Methodist high school) we always get low grade together. Im happy to share a low grade with him . OK enough . lets talk about high school and becak next time.

Lets get back

Seems so confusing at the first time when we all see the whole gown. aduhmak , which one which one ... she just cant choose the gown by looking at it . and she need to try the gown 1 by 1.

so here you go some of the picture i took that day.

 

The Blue gown , she looks pretty in this gown

This White gown is nice. i love it , but unlucky , this is not the right size.

 I thought my turn will come. turn out that my turn never come ... haha , And during the actual pre-wedding photography ,  Im wearing a very tight white trouser , Very tight suit and everything seems so tight , even my new white shoes and socks too , and i do look like "bakpao" that day. 

 Beautiful girl with beautiful gown

This is the color gown for outdoor Photograph.

And finally 7.00 PM , we finished selecting the gown . and she look so tired after the whole 3 hours of trying almost the whole gown inside the building . but worth it . finally she get to choose the one she like. This whole things is just once in a life time, so we have to Follow our heart , don't follow all the voices besides you.
