What a coincidence!
Then, we arrived at a place calls - Dun Laoghaire, the harbour where Nelson always go for fishing.
It certainly is a nice seaside to hang around on sunny days. I've been there several times. Everytime when I was there, surely there'd be seals greeting us on our arrival. For once, I even managed to get a glimpse of a couple of dolphines cruising by the harbour, though they were quite far away.
Early in the morning, around 10.30am, I dont understand why is there an ang moh dressing scantily and sitting on the rock there? Not cold meh? 13 degrees ler? Gila!
Guinness Lake! An impressive lake at Wicklow mountain range in Ireland. According to the tour guide, the lake actually resembles a pint of Guinness and the water is brown in colour. Most of all, the lake is located at lands that belong to Guinness family. That's how the nickname derived. Its formal name is Lough Tay :)
Taking a break, the tour guide brought us a bottle of locally brewed Irish whisky, Jameson.
See. Whenever there is alcohol, my hubby would be very happy! Sooner, he gonna be promoted to be an alcoholic, cos the beers and alcohols here are relatively cheap. Nevertheless, his whereabouts and activities are fully under my observation. Fret not. Hehe...
Once a church at Glendaough, I guess about a millenium ago.
Glendalough historical site.
Upper Lake at Glendalough. Nothing much to me, it's just another scenic lake ;)
All right. That's all for my Wicklow tour. Hehe...
All kind of weird things happen when you are in the other part of the world.
I was having a lazy weekend, having nothing to do, and suddenly I feel like baking! So I did at around 8pm just now! Fresh from oven, Butter Cookies!
I'm going to have my cookies now. Tomorrow is a public holiday here. I still have one more day to spend. Bye!
The skin is so crispy and the meat is so juicy. It comes at a very big portion for only €9.90. We always order one meal because I definitely cant finish it. I usually manage to swallow 1/3 of the portion. You don't believe it? I can tell you the fish itself weights 300g, as it is shown on the menu. That is a very big fish fillet and the chips...hell lots, ok!
After shopping, we went to Alan's place. He invited us to join them for dinner =D
The menu - Spicy Crabs, Curry Chicken and mixed vegetables.
I'm damn jeolous at Ke Xin because she has a "can cook" husband. Alan always prepares the dinner. Alright, my husband is not bad, he offers to cook as well. However, I'm even more frighten if he offers..because he will only cook Spaghetti Carbonara. Nothing else but Carbonara. Sigh.
We had a scrumptious dinner overall. Thanks to Alan. We chatted till late night, gossiped and bitched about our working lifestyle at M'sia. It's just too hard to save money, go for holidays or even to buy a house when you are one of the typical young middle-class working professionals. Basically, the rich would get richer, the poor would become poorer. The financial gap just keeps on increasing. Sad thing.
Alan and Lye, both of them generally dont like the sosio-politic scenes in M'sia. Well, what can we do? They don't plan to go back to M'sia in future. No doubt, lifestyle here is way better than M'sia's. Somehow, it is still too early for us to decide where to settle down. M'sia, a place where we are from, has got lots of memories for us. Most importantly, our parents are there! We miss them!
Claypot chicken rice without claypot - my dinner last night..haha! Don't laugh...there is a blogger cooking it this way. I follow her RECIPE.
Tonight, I'm having ginger chicken soup - taught by my mom long long time ago.
Oh...back to my topic, my honest Daddy!
2days ago, my mom found a gold ring which fell from the sky. Alright, I joke! But that is how my sister told me. What happened was my mom accidentally saw a gold ring from a garden nearby my house in Subang and she then took it back home.
Yesterday, as usual, my dad went jogging at the garden nearby. After a few rounds, he sat down by the bench at the garden to have some rest. Oh..he was not resting, he actually took the ring found by mom and hoping the owner of the ring would come searching for it! When I heard it from my sister, I was like " W.H.A.T!!!" Seriously, I think the ring owner wouldn't be so smart to return to the garden to search for it.
Lo and behold, there were 2 'suspicous' person wandering around the garden, seemed to be looking for something. My dad, presuming that they are the persons he is waiting for, then approached them and ask tactfully what are they looking for? A gold ring! My dad then happily return the ring to the rightful owners.
I laugh like hell and I can imagine my mom's reaction when she knows about it. Almost surely, I think she's going to scold him..haha. No wonder my mom always say my dad is the most honest person in the world. He really is!
Dim Sum and Red Bean Soup
Overloaded luggage!
As for my hubby? He just laid there and watched some boring snooker competition.
