Hello.. :D
Yeah.. yeah I know its soooo late to say welcome to the new year 2013. Im sorry for being so late to write it on this blog.
Well.. anyway, its been a week Im here back to Bandung after 2 weeks holiday in my hometown, TARUTUNG ^_____^
Started from December 21st, my sister came from Manado, because we were going back home together on December 24th. So, we really had fun in Bandung :)
 |
| Cihampelas Walk was our fave place to hang out |
 | ||||
| Trying new dishes is my sis' hobby and we wanted to try India Resto but we were so confused cause the way they served us was totally like in Korea/Japanese Resto. We even asked for one another 'is it really india's resto?'. haha :D Anyway, we ate like a fool and didnt care but still hungry..;p |
Finally, we were home on Monday nite December 24th. Nothing much has changed in my town. It was still quite and cold as usual. But our neighborhood was more crowded. I got a little confused about our street because so many new houses. My parents and my little sister *who came first* greeted us and I looked at my home.
Ahh.. its soooo good tobe home :)
In the morning, mom woke me up and we started our activities as a family like years ago. Working together! Mom, big sis and I was preparing breakfast, lil sis was cleaning up our house, dad and lil bro was checking our car. Ahh.. there was one person was missing at that time. Our youngest person in our home. My lil bro who was struggle with his final exam and couldnt attend Christmas and New Year holiday. He will go home in the end of January after his exam.
Anyway, show must go on. I wont miss any event in my family. Well.. yeah not every event I can join with, but most of them were fun. Check it out :D
 | |
| First event was 'Bamboo Cannon'. Some kind of parade between junior schooler including my dad's school. The place was our city's main river 'Aek Sigeaon'. The sound of those cannons totally were noisy but I have to admit it, it was cool :) |
 |
| We wanted to visit a town near Tarutung called 'Huta Ginjang' and I saw this. haha.. These days even police was excited to celebrate Christmas even on their duty |
 |
| So, from Huta Ginjang (1550 m dpl!) we can see this view. Toba Lake is awesome. I was wondering this place should be one of the best tourism destination but hmpf.. way to go Indonesia!!! |
 |
| Never forget to take precious pic every moment! With my parents and my big sis. Look at my dad's expression. Isnt he so cute? haha.. Love you all ^^ |
 |
| On our way back home, we met this young breeder with his buffalo. He has lots of buffalos and he was alone. What a tough kid. He looked so shy first when we asked him to pose but then he gave his best shot for us and even thanked us. I thank to you kiddo actually :) |
 |
| Visiting my grandma's village was our next destination. My eyes were totally being refreshed here. All green as I could see so far. I wish Grandma was here :( |
 |
| Oppung or Grandma has gone. Forever. But I know, She knew already that she is in her real HOME right now. Tears are still falling even we could only see were just a cross and the ground but we know our heart are here to let you go. Until we meet again :') |
 |
| ahh.. I wish I could see you turned into yellow :) |
 |
| When I was kid and visiting the village, my whole day wouldnt be missed without playing in this river. Being tanned? Ahh.. didnt matter all :) Just playing and had some fun. Sadly, I only visited this river couple of minutes because we had to go back. Yeah.. that's okay. When I heard the stream, felt the water and stepped on the stone, it was more enough to bring my memories about my childhood :') *srott..srott* |
I got only one day left already. Huaaaaa T_T, didnt wanna leave right now.
Before we went to Medan, we visited our mascot in our town.
 |
| Salib Kasih or Cross of Love. Lots of people were there and most of them from outside our town. Yep.. if you visit Tarutung, you cannot miss to go to up on the hill and saw this biggg cross and look at the beautiful scenery of my little town.. :) |
 |
| Daddy and her adorable daughter :p |
 |
| This is TARUTUNG!!! |
So.. on Sunday, January 6th, 2013 at 7.30, I safely landed in Bandung. Welcoming reality...
When I was at home at that day, there were some of the days that I regretted and wanted to go back to Bandung, like colder than Bandung, annoying local people *experienced with civil servant*, got surprised by a friend's wedding without even telling me! And didnt forget, mommy's grumbling and some family matters.
But I realised then.. That's home.
A place with so many imperfect situation.
But dont forget about the laughter, joking, homy dishes, 2 cats, warm blanket, nice neighbors, praying, singing, arguing. We have it, feel it and see it all together.
That's home and that's family...

| Love you Daddy ^^ |
 |
| Love you Mommy ^^ |
