Lake Toba

Few days ago, I received a souvenir from a colleague of mine. It's a wooden pen from Indonesia written there Lake Toba. Actually it's not really a souvenir, I guess... Just that he's clearing his desk because he got 'something big' to plan on... Lolx

For the sake of my curiosity, I tried to search online what the heck or where is this Lake Toba located. Surprisingly, I found out that it’s an amazing place which caught my attention.

An immense volcanic lake, Lake Toba is 100 km long and 30 km wide, formed by gigantic volcanic eruption some 70 000 years ago. Bigger than Singapore, it covers an area of 1 707 square kilometres, with a surface elevation of about 900 metres. Here, you can find the world famous crater lake, Danau Toba, located at the Batak highlands, roughly five hours drive from the city. This spectacular and fascinating lake boasts as the largest lake in South East Asia, with tall mountains surrounding it and with a large Samosir Island right in the middle. To get to Lake Toba from Medan, you can either use Brastagi in the Karo highlands or along the plantation route and Permatang Siantar.

Looks magnificent isn't it?

As a nature lover me, I'd definitely pay a visit here one day and capture this nice scenery with my own toy, D5000. (Sorry, I'm just simply love to advertise my toy). Lolx

Jan '2010

4 weeks more to go before Chinese New Year 2010. My brother already bought dunno how many pairs of clothes for CNY. But I haven't get a single piece for myself. :(

I tried two of his shirts... And I found out that it suits me 200% better than the owner himself... Wahahaha. See the photos below.

Phuket + Krabi, Thailand - Day 4

Day 4, Today is our last day at Krabi. After packing our luggage, we walked down to the entrance to put our luggage aside and had our very first breakfast. To be honest, the variety of the breakfast here is rather less compared to Deevana Patong Resort at Phuket.

We were given an environmental bag each of us by the van driver. It's water-proof, but too bad it has a Tipa Resort logo on it. And I don't want to be the ambassador of the resort... unless they pay me to ler. Wahahaha. Lolx.

In the van, I requested the driver to switch on the radio rather than listening to his Ang Moh's (western) CD which I can easily listen in my country. But he told me there was only a CD player, NO radio ! Kanasai le... Hahaha. I wan't to COMPLAIN!

*P/s: Prae, If you read this... please upgrade your resort's van with CD player which comes in with radio. Better still if it's a VCD player. So that I can watch my newly bought Karaoke VCD... Yupe. I bought Ice Saranyu's latest Karaoke VCD album, 'With You'. Hahaha.

After the 2 hrs journey, finally we reached back to Deevana Patong Resort, Phuket. Checked in and freshen up abit before we went for our 1hr Thai Body Massage FREE by the resort. Actually it's not considered as FREE either, we exchanged the 'it' with our breakfast due to our early flight the next day. We had to reach the airport by 6:30am.

We headed to Phuket town after the body massage session.

Phuket + Krabi, Thailand - Day 3

Day 3, After having our 'rush breakfast', we started our Phi Phi island tour of the day. Only around 11 passengers in the speedboat including 3 of us. We sat infront of the boat to feel the excitement. The strong wind blew our hair just like crazy. But that was the fun part of it. Hahaha.
