Black Mulberry Wine Tonight!

I am going to taste the wine I bought in Sirince tonight!

Sirince is a pretty hill town located near Ephesus in Turkey. We were there for a stroll, some shoppings and photography session after visiting Ephesus.

Sirince is renowned for its wines! The locals sell many types of fruit wine - such as the flavours of apple, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, peach, cherry, etc.

Most importantly, wine tasting sessions are free!!! I tasted many of them and chose blackberry at the end :) By the way, it costed 10 Lira (approx. €5) each bottle only!

Light at the end of the tunnel

No worries, there would appear to be some light at the end of the tunnel - Nel said. I've heard it a few times from him. His mindset and able to stay positive no matter what happens always amazes me!

I wish I can be like him. Think positive.

Who knows? You might be able to see some light at the end of the tunnel

Back from Turkey

37 °C is no fun at all. HOT and DRY.

My first impression towards Istanbul is Turkish men are very BUSUK!

Not all of them but most of them. Or maybe I am the unlucky one.

Everywhere I go, I can only smell some BUSUK smell of armpit

I guess it's too hot and they sweat a lot. But why can't they use deodorant!

Job Satisfaction

Where are you?

A few months ago, my company has decided to outsource some of the jobs as it's cheaper and save us lots of time. It's good that I am still being pay the same salary with much lesser work. But I am not as happy as I thought. I have been working on some small issues and paper work. I am not learning anything!

Job satisfaction - where are you???

In Bruges

The movie I watched 2weeks ago.

Then, I came across an article about Bruges. A survey has conducted and guess what? Bruges came in the first most beautiful city in Europe, leaving Prague and Paris behind.

I was attracted to the beautiful scene when I was watching the movie.

Unbelievable pretty!

If you have not watch the movie yet, do check it out. Then you'll know how pretty it is.

And Collin Farell is funny too :)

P.S Collin Farell is an Irish actor from Dublin.

Summer Holidays

Nel and I are going to a slightly different type of holiday this time.

Since 2 years ago, we have been eyeing on the summer holidays packages offered by local travel agencies as they seem to be very cheap and affordable. It's just extremely irresistible.

There'd be no more churches nor cathedrals! No more European castles and palaces!

We are hitting the sunny and sandy beach!! Woohoo!!!


For a package price of €250 - €500 per person (depending on destination), you get to :

- returning flights from Dublin including land transfer to your resort
- 7 nights accommodation at a 3* or 4* hotel resort
- bathing under the sun in Tenerife
- or escape away from your normal rountine in Gran Canaria
- or the Spanish island of Majorca
- or the fabulous beaches in Algarve in Portugal
- or the Greek island of Crete
- or Cyprus
- or see the views on camelback in Egypt
- or hundreds more sun destinations!

There are so many options to choose from! Most Irish love to visit the beaches in Spain like Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Majorca and Costa del Sol. Perhaps it is because the Spain packages are among the cheapest and most reasonable, and the weather is excellent and it's also nearer to Ireland.

The price of the packages are cheaper than I thought.
I've just checked the prices from the agencies' website, and for a price of €335, I get to go Kusadasi in Turkey for 8-day-7-night!!! Including return flights and accomodation and breakfasts!

Great deal, isn't it?

Irish Greyhound

Some time ago, Nel and I went to watch greyhound racing at Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium.


We lost €10 per person even before starting to bet - entry fees! Upon buying the entrance tickets, we were given a betting guidebook each. The guidebook records past statistics and winning probabilities of every greyhound in every race, as well as some tips and the hot favourites.

Nel and Ta Wei betted for most favourable greyhounds on the first few faces. Winning some races and losing the rest, they lost on overall in the end. Haha.


Greyhound racing is definitely a fun game! I suppose it's due to the element of gambling
During some of the races, I overheard some women beside cheering the racing dog's name. She was really loud.

All the greyhounds were given a funny name such as Egg White, Credit Alert, Double Twiss etc etc etc

Imagine hearing someone shouting "Egg White! Egg White! Egg White!" enthusiastically beside.


Greyhound could run real fast! According to info obtained from internet, they could run to the speed of around 70 kilometre an hour.


I betted for fun too and went for greyhound no.5 aka Advantage Johnny. I lost €2 on that race. Johnny, you disappointed me!
