Why Don't You Want Me To Go There La Medan Oitttt...

This year marks my third consecutive year that i missed out my Medan trip...had been planning for that since three years ago...i still remember that the first time i bought the ticket was in 2010 for RM80 return inclusive tax (excluding Indonesia airport tax)...it was supposedly to be my birthday getaway of some sort...but it clashes with a seminar that i had to attend in Dubai on the same week...so instead of birthday in Medan...it became birthday in Emirates...hehehe...bye bye Medan...wait for 2011 lah...

2011 comes but before that Airasia once again make that particular SALE...and i do think that people are not that keen to go to Medan as compared to Bandung...seriously...we managed to get the Medan ticket a few days after they started the promo...Bandung was gone within few hours...anyway...it was RM45 return excluding Indonesia airport tax...scheduled to take place on May 2011...i was already ready with almost everything since early year...right after i got back from Rome...i already started thinking about Medan...eventhough actually i went to Bali first in April...only after that to Medan...but anyway...last minute we had to cancel again...this time around due to work commitments...we were the desk officers for this event in the office...and it clashes with the date of our trip...once again...bye bye Medan...wait for 2012 lah...

  

2012 comes again...this time around the ticket we got was even cheaper...RM22.50 return excluding Indonesia airport tax...but then again...i just transfer to the new office...so i think for the time being...its better that i just don't take any leave just yet other than the fact that i forgotten all about writing that official form for permission to travel overseas...what da heck la kan...but whatever it is...okay la kot...insya allah there's always next year...so i think i might have to wait for 2013 la kot...ermmm...

Anyway...when i ask around about Medan...everyone have their own view...my big sister went there and had bad experience encountering some 'penipu' along the way...Hadi said there's nothing in Medan/ Danau Toba...its mostly quite and boring...but on the other hand...Linda lurveeeee Medan/ Danau Toba...relaxing and cheap she added...Amy also told me that its worth every cheapskates' penny in Medan/ Danau Toba...and most recently...Adiputra seems to be updating good things about Medan/ Danau Toba (which i supposed to follow...demmmm)...

My view is that...regardless of what others might say...there's always the need to validate them myself...seriously...if i took friends advice on places that are not worth going...i will end up only having europe in the list...and i do wonder why people always look up to europe as 'the' worth it destination to travel and disregard other asian countries...thats why its not the case with me...one's taste are not the same as the other...the most important part is how the person assimilate to the surrounding regardless of the country they are going...only then we know whether it is worth going or not...as for now...i am back to thinking about Medan...i am still wondering...its the third year...in a row...and i start questioning myself...why don't you want me to go there la Medan oittttt...
