2019, there are so many great memories this year. It is probably one of my favorite year so far as a family, and the big part of it because this year I took 6 months unpaid leave just to be with the kids at home. So many things to be grateful for and I truly feel blessed.
Here are my favorite moments in 2019
1.Surprise trip to Bali
I got invited to attend my best friend’s wedding to Bali this year, and I asked my parents to come along on this trip, they didn’t know that my brother, my sister in law and my nephews also flew there as a surprise. My dad has always wanted a family trip to Bali and we made it happen! As soon as we landed, we ate breakfast at a restaurant while waiting for my brother (he took different flight). Annndd surpriseee!! My parent was shook! It was a big success.
2. Hajj
This was a trip of a lifetime. After waiting for almost than 5 years, we finally got our chance to performed hajj this year. It was such an amazing experience, no word can describe it. Whoever read this and want to see more of this experience, see our hajj vlog in here, here, and here.
3. North Sumatra
After we got home from the one month hajj trip, we spent two weeks wandering around North Sumatra. We went to Tangkahan, it’s an eco tourism area which located 4 hours from Medan, and it was epic! We bathed with elephants, trekking the jungle, swimming and tubbing down the river. The kids really enjoyed this experience being outdoor in the nature.
4. Beijing solo
I had a quick work trip to Beijing and take an extra few days to explore this city. It was my first time to China, so I had to see the main touristy places like the forbidden city and great wall. I found a great guide through tripadvisor and had a great time there!
***
I usually have a big list every new year, although I already have few plans in 2020, I want to take a slower pace next year and be more mindful yet presence of my surroundings.
May we all have a long, happy, healthy, wealthy life, and cheers to prosperous years ahead!
