HomeSick.

Sudden decision to look at all my photos in iPhoto and Facebook made me real miserable now. In my 5 weeks here, I have never missed home so much compared to now. I have the urge to fly home, hug my family and start calling everyone! I miss ICC's icecream and company a lot, I miss my Vs, I miss my bunch of girlfriends, I miss Ryan, I miss my family, I miss Singapore's warmth. I am fucking depressed and the fucking cold weather ain't helping. UGH

ON a random note, I've got a Tumblr account because I figured out my blog has more photos than words. Follow me here!

Best week in Athlone, yet!

TUESDAY

We went over to Yanqi's place for dinner. She whipped up a few Chinese dishes that were so good it reminds me of home. I got totz homesick after my first mouth, I miss my mother so much! :(

WEDNESDAY

We invited Yanqi and Bernard over for dinner and we had our Signature Hainanese Chicken Rice, beef stew and fried cabbage! Dinner was really great thanks to Grace's superb cooking skills and Joshua's instant mix.

THURSDAY

My Spanish friend asked me over to their place for some authentic Spanish dinner! Grace & I were pretty shocked to see a table of food! We had other thoughts in mind otw there..... HAHA anyway it was a good dinner, learnt a lot more about Spain and Italy. The dinner was like an exchange program! We went to a house party at the other apartment after that and it was MAD! The apartment's living room was like Phuture's dancefloor... Endless flow of beer, awesome R&B music and a million people packed in that small room. Camera flashes, people screaming to the music and all in all, everyone was having fun! :))

FRIDAY

Initial plan was to bowl with the Italians but the bowling alley closes at 11pm, so we head over to the oldest bar in Ireland instead. The atmosphere is really awesome (think open drinking area and live band!) and the bar is REALLY old, since AD900! We had beer & stout, learnt some Italian and had loads of fun!

YUMZ

My weekend was very well spent! The girls and I went shopping in town on Saturday evening with my new friend - Yanqi and we had dinner in a traditional Fish & Chips restaurant. Hah we have stopped trying to convert everything back to Sing dollars because we will totz starve and die.

Never felt so happy eating out and drinking coke in a long long time! After dinner, we headed over to her place and as usual, it's much bigger and cozier compared to ours. Then we went over to another dude's place for wine and card games later in the night. It was one of the best Saturdays spent in Ireland!

Sunday started early..... We took the earliest bus to Dublin and the ride was over 2 hours? We took awhile to find the Dublin Flea Market and early bird catches the worm! I bought a nice vintage clutch for only 10 euros! Now I know how rip off the 'vintage' goods are in Singapore.... We explored Dublin's shopping districts with a map, a book and Grace. Haha thanks to her great sense of directions, we had no problems getting around. Nope, we didn't get lost! Massive stores like Warehouse, River Island, Topshop and H&M are at least double levels! And we thought the new shops in ION are big, they are nothing compared Dublin's.

I had a hapz day with so many weird things happening to me!

1) I stepped on dung.

2) I got approached by a drunkard and he asked if I'm Japanese.

3) I got approached by an Irish asking me to help her with her Toni&Guy thingy, she needs my hair.

4) I babysit a 5 months old baby.

Its around 7ish am and it looks like a freaking dead town!

Damn good carrot cake, 10 times better than Cedele's!

I stepped on dung. Not funny, it was fucking smelly!

Guinness is everywhere in Ireland!

World renowned Temple Bar!

Wine & Mexican food for lunch! I had salmon and it was really good! :)

Grace and her crazy heels fetish!

These are soap, cream and etc. Handmade with love! Cool eh? OK it's 12.32am, I need my sleep. Goodnight! :)
