Picture Journal: Winter Break 2011 - part 1

So, I found out that I'm not good with resolution. I said I would documented my holiday, but as you can see, my blog post stopped at day five =p To make amends, here are pictures from my winter break. I try to arrange them in a chronological manner. I do hope that I remember the order correctly.

So the weekend after day 5, we went to SF with a bunch of friends. Me and my husband went earlier because we wanted to visit our friend's booth in front of the Ferry Building. The others joined in lunch time. 

me and the booth
Above is the picture of the booth. She sells handmade cards and cute accessories. After long deliberations - since everything was so cute and I found it hard to pick just one - I bought two hairpins. One for me and one for my lil' sister in Indo. If you ever visited SF, please stop by at her booth =) The booth is in front of Justin Herman Plaza across the Ferry Building.    

this one is for me :)
Delish Pork Sandwich!
Besides visiting cika, I had another mission. I've been craving Roli Roti's pork sandwich for a while. Fortunately, although the line was long, the waiting time was not too bad. In a few minutes, I got the delish pork sandwich! However this time we decided not to buy their delicious potatoes because in an hour or so we would be having our lunch in Shanghai Dumpling King - a new restaurant that we've been itching to try. The dumplings were so good. I will go there again next time. Too bad I didn't take any picture :(

Later that day we went to Japan Town. We grabbed some snacks there. The famous Sophie's Crepes and Taiyaki. We wrapped the day by visiting twin peaks =) 

More pictures for that day:

TB Test Result

When I woke up in the morning last Thursday, the first thing I did was checked my hand. To my utmost horror ... It had became that big! Gosh ... the final result from the nurse was positive with 14 mm bump. So whether I want it or not, I need to go and get a chest X-ray =( PS : Btw, have I told you that this bump will stay for months? =( Oh, and it is starting to itch too ... =( UPDATES: The bump disappeared after a month or so. There is no scar whatsoever on my hand. I heard that a lot of people who were born in Asia usually get a positive result. It is because they had TB Vaccination while they were little. Anyway, I did get my chest X-ray. There is nothing to worry, everything is good =)

Orlando / Florida Visit General Tips

Hi everyone!  I just got back from my Orlando, Florida trip. It was super fun! I am trying to write in detail about the park that we visited and the rides that we took .. however, as usual it will take some time before the posts are ready. Yes, I will divide the Florida trip stories into several posts.  Meanwhile, here are some general tips for visiting theme parks in Orlando, Florida. Let me start with where to stay. I don't remember if I have mentioned about this before in my previous posts ... So, basically I bought the theme parks vacation deal from Costco Travel. I did try to purchase the trip separately (hotel, car, theme parks tickets, and plane tickets) on several different travel websites like Expedia, Hotwire, Kayak, etc. However, I found that the price difference was really small. So we decided to skip all the hassle and just purchased the whole vacation package from Costco.  Costco gave us different total price depending on how long we stay and where we ...

15

What is it with 15? Can you guess? Well, I'm going to visit my parents in 15 more days =) I'm so thrilled and grateful at the same time. It's been almost four years since I got married and moved to the States. I've never been this far apart from my family ... and for such a long time. We are really close to each other, so it is really painful living away from home.  I can hardly wait for the trip. We started planning sometime in May and my Mom has been counting days ever since =) I look forward to spending quality time with them. I am also super excited about all the Indonesian food that I'm gonna eat. I've been craving these food for a while:  Kwetiaw Akiaw Mangga Besar (image from foodspotting.com ) Hokkian Noodle (image from makanmana )     Sate padang (image from AIS MIT website ) and much more! Seriously, Indonesia is a heaven for food lovers. Especially if you love spicy food.  In addition to travelling back to Indonesia, me and ...
