[sumber: canva]

Assalamualaikum stemian hopefully everyone is healthy and happy.

I am @fadia who took a short vacation to my sister's city in Lhokseumawe. The distance from where I live to Lhokseumawe is about 170 km with a travel time of approximately 3 hours 48 minutes. I departed from Langsa using public transportation in the afternoon at 16.00 and arrived at my destination at approximately 20.00. After arriving I didn't do much activity because I was a little tired.

Sunday Morning

this morning I accompanied my sister @ravikadevy to sell at the Sunday festival. At 7 am we were ready to heat the cake and put it in a box to be taken to the location where my sister was selling. After everything arrived we started to open the tent, set up the table and started filling the eclairs with various fillings. My sister has been running this business for more than two years. She sells eclairs and also creempuffs, no wonder she can make cakes because she used to take vocational school with a major in culinary arts. We started waiting for the customers to arrive one by one and prepared their orders.

Actually there wasn't much I could do, I just offered to the customers and gave change because my brother would do the rest of the work. Waiting for buyers is actually a boring thing but because next to us there are many people selling too, we talk a lot while waiting for buyers to buy our merchandise. But if we wait patiently, it will definitely bring luck because I believe that sustenance will definitely come if we are more patient and sustenance has been determined for those who try. So we kept waiting until all the cakes were sold out.

After all the cakes were sold out, we began to clean up the merchandise and waited for our regular rickshaw to come pick up the goods". While waiting we walked while looking at the food that felt good. Finally there is something that looks interesting, namely fried foods, the name for this snack is ekado. While asking questions, the seller explained the name of his promise and offered the best seller. We bought some other snacks and then went home and enjoyed them at home.

Sunny afternoon on Sunday

In the afternoon after finishing eating and cleaning up we planned to go to ujong blang beach. Because there is no beach in langsa city, I wanted to enjoy the beach breeze and take a few pictures with my sister. When we wanted to go we picked up my sister's nephew whose house was in line with the direction to the sea. He was very happy when he knew we were coming to visit him.

We chose a place that we thought was good and started ordering food. We ordered young coconut ice, nutrisari and some other drinks and spent 60 thousand. Because at home we already had lunch here we only bought drinks. While waiting for our drinks to arrive I asked my sister to take some photos. Initially I planned to only take 3 photos but after starting to take pictures I didn't feel like I had spent almost 30 minutes just taking pictures. I started to feel hot and ended the photo session. The drinks arrived and we enjoyed drinking coconut ice while enjoying the cool sea breeze. It was an incomparable pleasure to stare at the sea water with the sound of the waves that made my mind relax for a moment.

I don't know why I like the sea more than mountains and other highlands. Maybe it's because I can't be cold because it can cause my asthma to flare up. But despite all that I still wanted to try to do something I had never done before. While we were enjoying our drinks my sister went to play in the sand with my sister's nephew. Indeed, if children go to the beach it is not complete if they don't play sand. While they were busy playing I chatted a few things with my sister while watching them play. After they finished playing their clothes were filled with sand and we hurried home to shower and change clothes.

Evening on Sunday

Because I went on a vacation that was only 2 days, we made the most of the time to walk around. We went to a restaurant called jinca because it served Korean food. Because I like to often see food like teokbokki and spicy chicken in the dramas I watch, I want to try it. We ordered the meatballs, teokbokki, and coffee. For all of that we spent 82k.

I thought the food was quite good and the dominant flavor of the sauce was slightly sweet and spicy. My sister who doesn't like spicy ate the meatballs while drinking a lot hehe. For the taste of this food because I have never tried the original from Korea, I think what I ate was quite good to enjoy. Hopefully someday I can taste the original from Korea. After eating we chatted while waiting for the food to digest for a few minutes. Because the room is cold and comfortable, it makes us feel at home to chat together for a long time there. But because the clock was already 9:30 p.m., we couldn't help but go home.

After we finished chatting we walked out and were going home. On the way home I remembered my sunscreen that had run out. We folded in a shop in the direction of the house, the shop was called hijrah store. There are lots of items about cosmetics and skin care sold there. After getting the item I wanted, I paid as much as 50 thousand. I bought skin aqua sunscreen, because the texture of this sunscreen is light and can moisturize. This sunscreen can also be used by sensitive skin types like mine because it does not contain perfume and sulfate substances in it. I've tried several sunscreen brands but most of them make my face breakout. In addition, wearing sunscreen can avoid us being exposed to excessive sun exposure which can cause skin cancer.

After finishing paying we went home. Arriving home I didn't do any other activities because I was tired of going here and there all day. We just talked for a while and then got ready for bed.

Thank you for friends who have taken the time to read this post to the end.

Best regards,
