Constipation

I’m on diet for three consecutive days! Not because that I wanna lose weight, I am doing it because I have constipation. I can’t shit. I know it’s disgusting, but I am still saying it. My poo-poo is hard like rock. Lately the shit even stained with blood at times. And the blood is not just a little. My highest record is only shitting once in a week. I feel like as if the whole stomach is stuffed with shits.

Ironically, I am actually having more fruits and vegetable as compared when I was in Malaysia. I do eat grape, banana, orange, apple and lettuce every week without fail. I also down a cup of yogurt almost daily. However, my shit is still very stubborn.

The method and the diet recipe were actually taught by my friend – Ming Yee. She said this will help to detoxify the body. When I got to know about the recipe, I seriously didn’t think I would ever wanna try it out. I’m a carnivore…haha, I love eating pork, chicken and seafood. I can’t live a day without meat.

The recipe is fairly simple; carrot & lemon, and lots of salads for lunch and dinner. I could consume biscuit if I am hungry. Thus I have bought some high-fibre biscuit. However, my hubby is not helping me; he secretly ate some potato chips behind me which he promised not to during these three days. Even took my biscuit as his snack -_-"

Today is eventually my last day of the diet programme. I never thought I could persevere to this stage. Hopefully I could flush out the shits in my stomach soon. I don’t want to have only vegetables! I’m not a person that would go for diet, I love to eat!

Shit! Now, could you please come out?

Out Of Order

The lift to my apartment is still out of order!

Baking Addiction

I think I have addicted to baking. I bake a cake after dinner just now.

Stuck

There is nothing for me to blog recently. My life is just so routine! Routine! & Routine! Don’t ask me how routine it is; eat, work and sleep basically.

Nonetheless, on my way back home today… I was taking the elevator back to my apartment as usual. Ding! The lift door slided open and I stepped into the lift. Pressing 2nd floor button where apartment is located, the door shut subsequently. Longing to rest at home soon however, the lift didn't seem to elevate. I pressed the lift button several times again to ensure it had got the signal to move up. It still didn't seem to response. I was starting to be nervous. Okay, fine! I tried to press the "door open" button thinking to scale the stair instead. It didn't response either. Heck, I'm stuck in the lift! I tried, and tried, and soon I'm convinced that I'm trapped and had no way out. Without thinking much, I pressed the emergency alert button, yearning frantically that a hero would come to my rescue.

It was so scary. I waited for about 25 minutes being imprisoned in the small lift! All of a sudden, the 25mins just seemed like years. Being alone, I have nothing to do in there. The air was getting thin and was even difficult to breathe at times. Furthermore, it was very warm too ironically since it's autumn now! I've never experienced such warmth since I came to Ireland. Worst of all, the nightmare was I wanna pee pee!

I was still waiting for my hero (the lift technician) to come. You know when you're alone being confined in a small space, you would start to imagine and visualise things that would not normally come across your mind-ghost & spirit!. Oh god, pictures like a pale-looking lady with long straight hair standing right beside you, and a pretty young lady looking straight to your eyes from the ceiling when you look up started to flash through my mind. It's like a reminiscence to the horror movie, The Eye. I hate my friend who told me the scenes of the movie. I didn't watch the movie, I never want to watch any ghost movie. Because I know that I would start to recall and replay the horror scenes in my mind for a long while. I was getting frustrated and really appalled. Horrified, I was staring front and back, left and right, up and down, checking that no "one" was looking at me. I was not trying looking for ghost ok! I was really petrified at that time.

I was trying to occupy my time. I tried to send a message to my hubby, even though I knew there is no network coverage in the lift… haha =D

After a long 25mins later, to my relief, I heard someone shouting, “Are you stuck in there?” across the door. Oh great, there he was, my hero finally arrived! When the lift door was slided open, there was an angel standing in front of you stretching wide open her helping hands to your rescue. Dream on! Unfortunately that's not the case. The hero whom I'd been waiting is an Irish old man, even slightly bold -_-"

Whilst helping me out, the Irish asked me, “Oh, are you ok? You are lucky! I’m just nearby the area.”

Me: -_-"

Excuse me??? Lucky??? Did I hear you right, Mr old man? You consider an incident of this lucky? I absolutely do not think so dude! If I’m lucky, I won’t be stuck in there, for a good 25mins!

Moving forward from there, now I’m pondering whether should I trust the elevator anymore and use it daily? Or should I painstakingly climb the stair to 2nd floor? ;p The elevator would be a white elephant if the residents at 2nd floor are not utilising it, because there is only ground floor, first floor and second floor is the highest. Hahaha!

Deserts

We didn't do anything for Halloween. We do not want to do anything though =)

Fireworks view from my balcony

I bought some desserts back home after work - Lemon Custard Cream.


And guess what happened? My hubby came back as usual at 6.30pm. He bought me dessert too..haha!

Viennetta Ice Cream

What a coincidence!

Wild Wicklow Tour

About one and a half months ago, Nelson and I went for a day tour somewhere near Dublin - Wild Wicklow Tour. I'm just too lazy to compile our itinerary and photos of the trip. Ok, here u go..but still, lazy to write..so just some caption on the photos lar..

The tour began with sightseeing around dublin city..and the tour guide narrated a brief history of Ireland in the first hour of the tour.

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...

Round tower at Glendalough. Well, the tour guide talked a lots about the history of this place. Hm... unfortunately, I remember none ;)

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...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYBODY!

Time change

Weird thing happened today. Nelson and I went out at '1.30pm' today. 1.30pm! However, my mobile was showing 12.30pm. So I questioned Nelson whether is his time correct. He then checked his mobile and watch. Both were showing 1.30pm. So I presumed Nelson's time was correct and didn't bother to find out what's wrong with my time.

While we were shopping in the city, Nelson received a call from Alan.

Alan: "Hi. Where are you? What's the time now?"
Nelson: "I am in the city and it's 4.30pm now. Why?"
Alan: "4.30pm your head. Are you dreaming? It's only 3.30pm now la!"

Nelson was puzzled. So were I. And soon Alan reviewed that the time in Ireland has been adjusted an hour earlier today in view of the seasonal change.

I never knew time is adjusted in this part of the world for this reason.

Anyway, we had an 'extra' hour to shop! Hurray! hehe...

Now, I knew why my mobile's time contradicted with Nelson's, because my mobile has an automatic time update function, which I have activated.

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!
