Seafood and Pantai Cermin

Initially, Mum planned to go to Brastagi Highland but canceled it due to some reason. We headed off to Pantai Cermin instead, for the seafood. Oh my.. seafood *big smile*

So, there we went to this place which is about 60 minutes away from Medan, hot and not-so-green-place where you won’t find the unique Mulberry trees. Just to have the yummylicious-and-not-so-expensive-seafood. We have prawns, crabs, fishes, and squids for 6 people. The bill was at IDR.218.XXX only.

Seeing the seafood, Mum can’t help but to think of my boyfriend whom loves to eat seafood so much. If only he was here too…

After that, we went to the nearest beach for the sake of digesting the food and sightseeing.

After walking around, I still didn’t get it. What is so much fun and interesting from this dirty beach with brownish color of water huh? All you can do is just – I splash you with the water and you splash me back. You only get… wet and darker at the end of the day. Boring.

This goat came out of nowhere.

Me and bro. A picture to claim that we were here.

And, that was my 3rd day of Chinese New Year. It’s time to go back to work tomorrow.

18th August 2008

And the holiday continues…

Oh my.. It feels so good to be away from computer, internet and work. My hands get to rest from clicking and typing. My eyes and my back get to rest too. Not to forget my mind. I can put aside the research about diet pills like Fentraphen for a while. I went out whole day with my family and the highlight of today is Pantai Cermin (translation: Mirror Beach). Let’s see where have I gone to:

1. Had a breakfast at Cemara Asri complex and had a mini driving test (with my Dad as the examiner ) in the housing area. Passed by the Maha Maitreya temple and saw that there was a rehearsal going on. The grand opening ceremony of this temple will be held in this few days.

2. Finally after 22 years, I get the chance to go to Pantai Cermin (translation: Mirror Beach) town, which is about 1 hour from Medan city. There is so many beach and we choose to go to Pantai Gudang Garam first. Don’t expect to see ladies in bikini or blueish ocean, cause there is none. We just sit there, drink the coconut water, eat some satay and take pictures of the brownish ocean/beach/whatever it is.

3. Since the restaurant at Pantai Gudang Garam doesn’t have so many varieties of foods and the price is freaking expensive, we decide to go to the nearby restaurant where my parents used to go. The place is crowded with people and we wait for freaking 2 hours for the seafood. -___-”

4. After that, went to Pantai Cermin next to the Pantai Cermin Theme Park. People always says that Pantai Cermin is so dirty and I thought it is just the past story. But today I get to see it with my own eyes. The place is not fun at all.
