No Time

I truly am busy with my ordinary life, working and studying for exams.
I guess I won't be updating this blog for a few weeks. I'm not sure :)

I am counting down for...

My exams - 16days

Christmas party - 20days

Paris - 32days

Switzerland - 37days

Malaysia - 50days

Waiting, Wishing and Anticipating.

River Liffey

It's been a while since we last took photo around Dublin.

Below is a photo taken by hubby recently.

River Liffey, Dublin

Dublin city itself is quite scenic actually.
I begin to appreciate the beauty of Dublin City again.

Concentration

I need it, desperately!!!

Sigh! Why am I doing this?

Cold

It's 2 degrees now -____-"

Can't Wait

We just bought our ski jackets :)

Can't wait to learn how to ski!!!!!

Recession

Credit Crunch Credit Crunch Credit Crunch
Recession Recession Recession
Redundant Redundant Redundant

These are by all means the hot topics in town recently!

Everyone is talking about it!

Nel and I just came home after having dinner with some Malaysian friends.
One of them has been made redundant several weeks earlier!

Fear is the word!

Everyone is worry of the uncertain economic climate in Ireland!
As for me, I was no different with the crowd and was worried too.

I am not worried anymore as I feel that I've been lucky enough to have a chance to live and work here :)
If unfortunately I have to return to Malaysia now, I would have no complaint.

The Astronomical Clock

All were waiting.

We were waiting for the Astronomical Clock - a popular tourist attraction - to come alive. The clock was made sometimes in the 14th or 15th centuries, I think.

It composes of 3 components.

Each represents ...emmm..something?

I read it before; I could not remember nor understand how it works.

If you are interested, google it! You will definitely find some information on it :)

Having read some travel books on Prague, Nel was attracted by:
"The Walk of Apostles"!

Every hour, a series of figures/puppets impersonating the Apostles would show their faces through the 2 small windows above the clock.

It was nearly 12pm, everyone on our left and right, front and back were waiting for the moment to come. It was like a New Year eve countdown, but in the middle of the day under the Sun.

Feeling curious to see the works and craftmanship of this 500yrs old masterpiece, we are equally excited to witness this very special moment of our trip to Prague.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1!

Presenting to you, The Walk of Apostles!

Translated version.

Mr N : That's the Apostles! Can you see them?

Me: Yes, yes, yes!

Watching the Apostles parading one by one in front of the expectant gallery for 30 seconds, everyone of us were speechless; the Apostles have finished their business!

Mr N : Huh? Are everyone here waited so long just for this 30s show? Is that all? Is that all? -_-"

Me : Haha

Mr N : HAHAHA! That's all? Wasted my time!

Me : HAHAHAHA

The display windows were closed and the Apostles were gone!

In the end, Nel still couldn't believe it and kept asking "Is that all???? Is that all????"

I was eager to know the answer too!!! Is that all? Nothing else?
