Not in writing-mode

I haven't been blogging much lately. Every time I wanted to start writing something, I'll be telling myself, "maybe tomorrow". I'm just not in my writing-mode.

The book and the movie

I like the book. It's a love story written by Cecelia Ahern (daughter of Ireland's former prime minister)

It gives me a tonne of room for imagination as it's a story set in Dublin.
My imagination was spoiled after I watched the movie.
I prefer the book. I think the book is wayyy better than the movie.

It would be better to live in my imagination, sometimes! :)

Happening in July and August

Dinner with friends in Dublin

Visited a friend in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Went to Giant Causeway again and still couldn't believe the hexagonal rocks were formed naturally.

Dinner with housemate at one of the pubs in Dublin. Not sure whether I've mentioned it here before, Guinness here tastes good and actually ways better than those in Malaysia.

Went to Cork with Alan and Kher Sin, visited Blarney Castle. Nel kissed the Blarney Stone.

Visited an island in Greece

A trip to Turkey

A girls' night out

Went to Irish Greyhound and watched dogs racing with colleagues.

Had dinner with colleagues and it was the weirdest pizza I have ever had. Pizza with ham, achovies and boiled eggs. Yucks...

Had dinner at the oldest pubs in Dublin - The Brazen Head est.1198

A friend from Cardiff, UK was visiting us. Nel and I brought her around and visit some places in Ireland.

Hectic! Hectic! I don't how did we do this. So many trips, travelling, night outs and dinners with friends and colleagues!

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???
