~H*A*L*L*O*W*E*E*N @ Lunar Bar~

Had myself prepared for the Halloween party at the Lunar Bar near my aunt's restaurant.

I had leopard print makeups for the party! Learnt it from watching at YouTube make-up tutorials & drew it right away! I made it & I love it!! Had my leopard print singlet, DIY leopard print headbands, & my leopard print sling bag as well. =D

I went with them, friends who work in my aunt's restaurant.

The pub was filled with LOTS of people with amazing & funny costumes & makeups! 

Enjoyed the night very much!

Really hope that my best friends were here, celebrating with me,

 to make the party even great. =)

~H*A*L*L*O*W*E*E*N: with Kids~

Happy Halloween to all!

It's my first time celebrating Halloween in a foreign country, Ireland!

New experience, Wonderful Memories. =)

These were the pumpkin carving works of mine!

With the kids after I'd done my carvings. =)

It was my very first time carving pumpkins! Luckily I successfully did one or else my aunt would have to buy new ones! =D

Accompanied my cousins to visit every houses for the "Trick or Treat".

Cousins! =)

~W*O*R*K~

I have been helping my aunt in her restaurant since Monday as she needs assistance only for a week. Her new staff will come in next week.


I have to force myself learning to be an interactive person who can deal naturally and confidently with strangers/customers.


Wish me luck!
Cheers! =)

~O*U*T*I*N*G* with Bryant @ Dublin~

Bryant came back to Dublin after his 1-week Prague trip. I gave him a surprise by picking up him at the Dublin Airport with his uncle, Mr. B. We successfully surprised him where he didn't even know that anyone will pick him up upon his arrival. It's so funny that I managed to capture his "shocked" expression! lol

After putting his luggage back to Mr. B's house, we came back to Dublin city & went for Karaoke session at an KTV above the Emperor Malaysian Restaurant that I went with my uncle & family on the last post! We can order their food and at the same time sing!!!! It has been more than half a year Bryant & I didn't sing at karaoke! We were damn excited! Mr. B & his friends laughed at us when both of us rushed to skip to the next song once we finished each song.

Mr. B ordered these for us! YUMmmmmmmmmmm!! =)

It was Mr. B's Birthday that day & he treated us the dinner & karaoke. Happy birthday again to u, Mr. B! Left the karaoke when we barely spoke with our normal voice. =)

The next day, Bryant & I got up and took a bus to the city again. We had our lunch at an Italian Restaurant!

Western food, my favourite!

Pizza & Pasta set for each of us and we shared. Love the soup & toast! They're lovely! Took away the leftover pizza as our dinner that night.




After our lunch, I "toured" Bryant around the city by bringing him to places that he hasn't covered last time. Brought him to the places that I went previously, Docklands.


We went to Trinity College again as we only covered the center of the college last time.
We walked & covered 80% of the college this time. That's really a big college with relaxed environment. =)




We went to St Stephen's Green Park and had some photography=D

Bryant accompanied me to take the photos of the colourful Dublin doors. It's cool, isn't it? =D

On the next day, it was the day where Bryant had to leave Ireland, this time, he was really going back to Malaysia, no more other trip in Europe. It means that everyone has gone back to Malaysia, except for me.=D

Let's end this post with the yellowish autumn leaves 

that I captured at the St. Stephen's Green Park.

Cheers. =)

~L*I*F*E* in Ireland~

Just wanna have a little update about my current life, in Ireland. I have been helping out with house works,  babysitting my cousins, and at the same time slacking around during weekdays. It's kinda dull, I know.

Yesterday, my aunt had to fetch my cousins to music class and I had a walk around the area alone when they were having their classes.

When their classes had ended, all of us had a walk along Henry Street & O'Connell Street while my aunt was having her hair cut.

I called it as Cousins Day! =D

After the hair cut, my aunt fetched us to Dublin's Phoenix Park! That's a very BIG park & it even has reindeer on some part of the field!

All of us had Vanilla Ice-cream cone from the O'Brien ice-cream truck near the park. =P

Today, I gathered with Serene, Chor Yuen & Albert at Dublin for lunch while my uncle & his family were having their worship. Had our lunch at The Mongolian Barbeque restaurant & walked nearby the church.

When my uncle & aunt have finished their worship, all of us went for their lunch. Yeap, another lunch for me (luckily I didn't take rice at the previous restaurant).  We had our lunch at Emperor- Malaysian Restaurant. We ordered Ice Kacang, Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai & Char Kuey Teow. Haha!

It's really excited to see the food that "looks like" Malaysian food, but not the taste. I still love ordinary Malaysian food, cooked in Malaysia. =D

After lunch, we went to Docklands for a walk & some photos.

It was basically it, for my first weekend with my love ones. I'll definitely go Dublin on every weekends for another 6 weeks here in Ireland. Hope that I can find something better or meaningful to do after this. =D

Let's end this post with The Eye of Dublin.

____________Cheers! =)_________

~I*R*E*L*A*N*D: with Friends~

I flew over to Ireland with 5 of my friends (Bryant, Jing Wen, Jacky, Chun Howe, & Blue) right after the London trip. Catherine was supposedly coming over Ireland with us but she had to go back. Really hope that she was there traveling with us. =(

We landed at Dublin Terminal 1 with Ryanair flight which was only 1 hour journey from London. My uncle was there waiting at the arrival gate for us. It has been a while since we last met! Said goodbye to Bryant's uncle & aunt and off we headed to the carpark. We tried our best to squeeze in all the big luggage & bags into my uncle's car & luckily it could be fitted in.

Reached my uncle's house after 1 hour and I was so excited to meet with my aunt & cousins! Our last met was couple years ago, I think it's more than 4 years. My cousins have grown up! I was so excited to see them! Hugged them with all my strength that I had, hope that I didn't cracked their bones. =D
My aunt made chinese pancakes (曼煎糕) for us when we reached and Uncle brought us to his restaurant for dinner & my uncle ordered a lot for us!!

We rested at home for the whole day as we planned to do some research for the trip around Ireland. But ended up doing nothing, just slacked at home. We went to LIDL for some groceries and had a walk to River Dee with my aunt & cousins.

Aunt cooked us Meatball Spaghetti for dinner that night!! Slurppss...:P

After dinner, I booked the hostel in Dublin for tomorrow night as we planned to start the Ireland trip from the capital city of the Republic of Ireland. Then we packed our bags for the 4 days of Ireland Trip.

My aunt fetched us to the bus stop where we could get coach services to Dublin. We went to the information center to see if there's any tour that we can follow. Bryant's "uncle", hmm... I should say... A young uncle, which was just 25 of age. Let's call him Mr. B. He treated us lunch before we started the day at Dublin city.

We eventually decided to go for Paddy Wagon's 1-day-trip tours to 3 different places in 3 days, it cost us €100. We also extended our stays at the hostel. After we checked in & put our bags into our room, we had a walk at Dublin City. 

We also visited the Guinness Storehouse where we get to see the making of the stout beer which is originated from Ireland.

We could also get a free pint of stout beer. I personally don't like alcoholic drinks so I just drank a sip & pass to my friends who love it. 

Mr. B treated us dinner at the end of the day at a Chinese Restaurant & we LOVE the food so so much!

Thank you!! =)

 We went back to our hostel and had a good rest where our Ireland trip would start on the next day. Woke up in early morning & had continental breakfast at the hostel & headed to the center where we then met our tour coach for the trip. Our quick IRELAND Trip starts here:

Day 1: West Ireland
Major attraction: The Cliff of Moher

Day 2: North Ireland

Major attraction: Giant Causeway

Day 3: South Ireland
Major attraction: Kilkenny

During the 3 days trips, we had cookies and bread with hazelnut jam for our lunches and ready meals from Tesco for our dinners where it helped us save a lot more than to dine-out at restaurants. That's what we call a "budget" trip. =D 

We headed back to my uncle's house after the Kilkenny trip & reached at about 9pm. Have a big bowl of noodle and soup when we reached & it was such a wonderful and cozy treats in a chilling night. Thanks my aunt for the preparation of the noodle soup.=)

The Ireland Trips with friends ended in a blink of eye.

Similar with the Europe trip, we spent lots of time in the bus. lol

We rested at my uncle's house on the next day after the trip and all of them left Ireland on the 2nd day. 

It was a simple yet cool trip with all of you!

Gonna miss u guys! Take care! =)
