Freshers' Week..

Holla people! I know i know! It's been awhile since the last one..... Sorry! Anyway, here are some pictures to tell you of what we've been up to all this while! :) Enjoy!

This! Is a picture of the rising sun when we were at Amsterdam Airport, Schippol Airport if I'm not wrong! :P We had to transit here after 12 LONGGGGGG hours onboard the plane. Mind you it was sardine-packed and trust me, it ain't fun at all being restricted to so little movement!


This is a shot of Buger King's logo. Baby's first time having BK! But ever since we arrived here, I've lost count on the number of times we've had it! Arghhh! :( It has only been a month, but I'm already bored of BK .__. Just to add, BK outlets outnumbers McD ones by -this- much and KFC outlets by -------this------- much! ;)

Freshers' Week ;)

This is a shot of us, at Coffee Doc, which is just a fancy name for the cafeteria. This was taken during Freshers' Week! But thankfully, we didn't get bullied by our seniors!

And this is Guinness. Like who doesn't know right? That black Irish drink everyone has talked about so much lately due to the founder's 250th celebration! Personally, I have not acquired the taste to fully appreciate it. :( But I should have done so by the time I get back to Pg! *wink wink*

This is another shot of us, this time outside Clarendon Bar, which happens to be the place we both took our first sips of Guinness! Cheers!

One more pic of us! This time just before we went out for clubbing! You see, throughout Freshers' Week, the SU (Student Union) decided that it would be good thing to expose us freshers to this thing we call clubbing. Hence, every single night of the week ended with a session at various clubs around Dublin. But we being the kuai kids we are, only attended 2 out of the 7 sessions they had planned for us! See see! We kuai! :P

This is our lecture theatre (O'Flanagans Theatre). Lecture theatre by day, rock stage by night! And who ever said doctors don't know how to have fun?! Various bands belted out hits after hits after hits! With beer and wine being served outside, I'm sure everyone enjoyed! We surely did! ^_^

My first shot! Its called a Jägerbomb! Where one drops in a shot of Jägermeister into a glass of Red Bull. It's not THE strongest but it tastes good! :D And we had a couple of others and jiggy wiggied till about 3 in the morning. (Should have taken a video of Kit dancing :P:P:P haha! Had lots of fun!) Not bad la hor? Considering it's our first time into clubs!

And that's just the start. Our first week. Next update to arrive within a day! Or two! xD Take care all! Cheers!

RCSI-ans,

Kitching!

Anatomy.

Just had the best anatomy class yet! Damn it was fun! Today we had to rip out the the head of femur from the acetabulum (you know hip joint, ball and socket? yeah! we had to rip the ball out of the socket!)! First we had to do the usual skin incisions, removal of fascia (connective tissue), clean the muscles and vessels.....bla bla bla. Then we dislocated the cadaver's hip joint i.e. twisting the cadaver's knee till the head of femur actually pops out of the acetabulum! Then the smooth head will be exposed and that's when I grabbed the electrical saw and started sawing away! :D :D :D After getting a groove, I took the chisel and hammered my way till the head of femur came off! It wouldn't come off straight away but after quite a few blows with the mallot, it finally gave in! And my whole group was so relieved! We were the only ones who managed to do it in time ok! And I had the honour of being the only one who did it! Happy nia! More updates soon! Take care all!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Holla!

Yo everyone! How's everything? I know you might think that this blog has gone into yet another prolonged axile but fret not, it hasn't! It's just that both Khy Ching and me have been pretty busy to say the least here in Dublin. There's the settling in, buying stuff, cooking food (cos everything's so insanely overpriced here!), getting bank errands done, immigration crap and of course there's this one tiny thing we call studying! Trust me, it ain't called med school for nothing. To top all of that up, both of us gatal gatal go join soo banyak activities! To name a few, we joined badminton, ping pong, archery, PMCSA (Penang Medical College Students' Association). Yeah! So as you can imagine, time is very very scarce right now. A thousand apologies to all of you!

First of all, we're settling in quite well I would say. Adapted rather quickly! Which is good! But I do miss Penang much. The people! Family! And of course the world-renowned Pg food! Oh damn I miss it! Nasi kandar! Mee goreng! Ice kacang! Satay! Wan than mee! Nasi lemak! The thought of it wei! Like! Wth! I'm hungry now! :( Anyway, talking about food.....just so you know, neither of us have put on weight I think! But I'm also not sure that we lost any :S

The weather here has been kind to us. Hasn't been raining much! But it has been cold nontheless! Temperatures have scrapped a high of probably 12-13 I would say and usually hovers around sub10 temperatures for most days. Once the weather forecast said it was summin like 2 or 3 but I find it hard to believe considering I didn't shiver or anything like that! :D

And if there is ever one word to describe the Irish working ppl, then it would be INEFFICIENT! Like where else in the world would you find ppl needing to wake up at 3/4 in the morning just so that we can start queueing up outside the immigration office (its called the Garda btw) at 5am! This is so as they only entertain summin like 300 ppl in one day and apparently everyone wants to be in Ireland, for one reason or another! So we queue-d outside the Garda at 5am sharp and waited like dungus in the cold, mind you it was by the river!, till 8.30 when they handed us "student numbers". Yeah, even if you're first in line, if you're a student, you'll have to wait for ALL the adults to enter before you get your student number. Like wtf right? Students are being treated like second-class citizens! And we're paying the most money! Cibit right?! Anyway, we had to do it and finally had it done by 11.30 in the morning. Imagine that! You wake up at 4, walk all the way (approx. 20 min walk) there, stand in the freaking cold trying to tahan, pay 150euros!!!!!, and wait for 6 and a half freaking hours before you get permission to be in Ireland! Like omgwtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is tons to study! Like seriously! Now I know what Niresh and Anand meant when I asked them "how is uni?" only for them to say that "f**k college man, college is easy sh*t!"! The amount that we have to study is wayyyy more than college! Lectures are short (2hrs on some days, 3/4 on other days) but the amount of additional study that is required! One can easily go mental! No kidding!

It's almost 4am now. Gotta go study d! Gonna use an electrical saw to saw off someone's bone later! ^^ Sorry about the absence of pictures! Can't find my camera just yet! But pictures will be up real soon! And by real soon, I don't mean a week or so. Just a couple of days! :D I hope all of you are fine! Fill me in with updates! We could chat through skype! Once again, sorry about the lack of updates! Take care all!

First-yr RCSI-an,
Kit

Greetings from the Emerald Isle!

Hey all! Real sorry about the long absence! Been pretty hectic settling down here. Lots to do. Anyway, the both of us are fine! Thanks for your concern! Will update alot more once things get better! Take care all!


Cheers,
Kit

DO's & DONT's

Almost 5 months have passed since I first started working at Chili's. And now that I've stopped I must say that work ain't easy! Ain't easy at all! Especially on the days when I got crazily long hours! Longest was 14 hours! 12pm to 2am! Cibit! But tips made it worthwhile on most days! The most being 170bucks in a single day! Not bad huh?!

Anyways, after being in the service line (as a waiter more specifically), here's a simple list of Do's and Dont's for all you people when you go makan!

DONT's.

1. DON'T ever ever mess with the waiter! Trust me on this! You wouldn't want to know what goes on at the back!

2. DON'T call for the waiter when you're not ready to order. Some people ar, damn k*ai l*n! See something nice ni put up hand d! Then when we go to their table, they see something else that's also nice and then can't decide. Then turn turn a few more pages, wanna change order. TOOT! And also, please do not call for the waiter unless the whole table is ready to order. Let's say its a table of 6 but only one person is ready, don't la call for the waiter and make him/her wait like a dungu while the other 5 ppl take their own sweet time browsing the menu! Pity the waiter man!

3. DON'T ask the waiter for a refill if you've finished but your buddy is gonna need one soon. Wait lar awhile. If you ask for a refill, then the poor guy goes and get you one but when he returns, your buddy needs one, and then he has to make another trip. Damn annoying k. I personally kena from one table of 4 ah-ee's! Ah-ee 1 finishes, ask for refill. I get the refill. When I get back, ah-ee 2 wants one too. So I go and get it. upon returning this time, ah-ee's 3 and 4 wanna get refills. My face damn beh syok d! But I still get the refills. And when I return, ah-ee 1 wants another refill! I was damn tul*n d I terus put up my hand and told her to wait! See! Understand now?

4. DON'T share drinks if the menu clearly states that free refills are only applicable if the drink is taken by ONE person. It's damn cheapskate if a manager drops by to inform you about it but you still continue sharing but saying you're not when you're asking for a refill. Tons of ppl do it and it's leaves a really bad taste.

5. DON'T make a mess of the place! Bear in mind that waiters are human too! Just the same as you and I. Given a chance, would you want to clean pieces of meat/fish/soggy fries/vegetables/stuff that you spit out? Don't think so. Yeah! So waiters are the same. It's not nice! So next time when you're done, KINDLY USE YOUR FORK & KNIFE/SPOON OR ASK FOR SOME TISSUE AND GATHER EVERYTHING ONTO YOUR PLATE SO THAT IT'S NOT THAT DISGUSTING!! Thank you! :D

DO's.

1. DO look through the entire menu before placing your order. Take your time. Order in a hurry and more often than not, you'll come to regret it!

2. DO keep your voices in check. There's a place and time for everything. For example, if you're dining in a restaurant, do keep it low as there are other ppl who might want to have a quiet meal!

3. DO listen when the waiter repeats your orders! I've personally been yelled at for apparently not taking down their orders properly when in actual fact I repeated their orders and they nodded and said "Yup! That's all!". Cibit!

4. DO be polite. Stuff like "Thank you!", "I appreciate it!" and "service is great!" means alot to the people serving you!

5. DO leave something for your waiter! That is, if the service warrants a tip! Be kind! Even a dollar would be ok! Trust me! Being a waiter is hard! And its not fun at all!!

Ex-ChiliHead,
Kit!

Big, fat, round and furry!

Meet Roly! :)

hee! Thank you, hubbie!

* Happy 19th Birthday, Sarah! *

Up!

My First 3D movie!!
The little boy is so cute and round! xD
*does the 'cross my heart' sign*

1st year!

One full year has elapsed now! A whole 365 days! It seemed just yesterday that prom was on. And within a blink of an eye, it's our first anniversary! Time flies doesn't it?! Well, on the 16th, we went out makan at Sakae's and baby was tired due to drama marathon (Gem of Life) the night before. So after makan, I kinda "went back" home but I lied! :P I just went one round and went back to her place (cause I wouldn't go to the beach at night). Then I took this (below!) out of my car booth and lighted it one candle by one candle till the whole board was lighted up! Nice ar? and I surprised baby just a lil' past midnight! (So very surprised eh! I thought people only do that at the beach! Heeeeeeeee!!!!)

Can read ar? Can la hor!

The lit candles up close!

And that was the start to the 17th! In the morning, I went over to baby's place and fetched her! Was wearing my Nautica polo! My favourite polo! And baby was wearing the red dress I got her from TopShop! First we had subway for breakfast! (got reason wan k!) Then we had fishies nibbling our feet! HappyFeet at Batu Ferringhi! They were so small the last time I went!! They're so big now @____@ scary!!

My feet being swarmed by fishies! Hee! ^^

Our feet! Can't really see the fishies! :(

And how is it possible that a special day is complete if we don't get to eat Nando's? (uhuh, uhuh!!) Lunch at Nando's QB! That's before we headed to Pg Hill! Wanted to watch sunset but plan kinda failed! Up there cannot see wan! T___T (Can see! But we were at the wrong side :P)

The tram!

View from up there!

Baby girl on the tram! We had the whole cabin to ourselves!


And this is me! How's the polo?!

After the disappointment of not being able to see the sun set, we headed back down and to Eden for dinner! The ambience is fantastic! Dim lighting, soothing music, and a lit candle on the table! Need I say more? We had "Surf & Turf" which consists of a half portion of Lobster Thermidore (not THAT great!) and one portion of Ribeye Steak (tastes great! but portion's abit too small!) and the "Norwegian Fresh Salmon Steak" (which I must say tastes absolutely marvellous!). I agree! The Salmon was wayyy better than lobster! The mashed potato was good too!! Owh owh! Before I forget, we had shark's fin soup with lobster bits for starters! This shark's fin soup is definitely the best I've ever tasted and is a MUST TRY if you do dine in at Eden's at Hutton Lane!

"Surf & Turf"

"Norwegian Fresh Salmon Steak"

Us!

This was desserts!

A fondue at Haagen-Dazs to bring this special day to a close!

My first time! So yummy! But unfortunately, we were too full! Didn't finish the whole thing.. except for the ice creams, of course! :P

Now this is the pressie! (One of the them! This is my favourite!! :P) See any resemblance ar?

Hee! :P

LOU POH! HAPII 1ST YEAR!!!!!!!!

(you too!! :D)

Seafood!

Baby got her results today! And celebrations were definitely in order! Her fam and I went to a seafood joint in town (somewhere along Macalister Rd.)! I ain't a big fan of seafood but Cheese-stuffed Lobster was just too tempting! And so we ordered. And feasted! And the bill was by no means little! Had soo much! I've never actually had so much seafood in one meal till this day! I'm beginning to like them seafood! :( Cos seafood is expensive and messy! The photos shall show you the cuisine we feasted on!

Nestum Prawns! Very very succulent ones too!

Shark's fin soup! Tasty! This I like! ^^

Crab! I usually don't take but today was an exception!

Cheese-stuffed Lobster! Double Cheese we ordered! Fantabulous!

- a lil' disappointing for me!! cheese too sweet! @_@ weird cheese.

11.

Months since the 17th of August 2008. Day started off well with me heading over to baby's place to cook breakfast! English breakfast! We masak-ed together!

These were the uncooked ingredients! That I had bought yesterday!

And this is baby slicing up SPAM, my favourite luncheon meat brand!

Me in action!

Curry tao pok! The way we both like it!

As far as we know, we're the only weirdos who eat it this way!

Baby squeezing every possible drop of oil out of the luncheon meat!

Scrambled eggs with tau euu & pepper!

And this is the end result! A scrumptious English breakfast for two!

(which we couldn't finish!)

Yummy!!!

After makaning, we both cleared up the kitchen! Spotless if you ask me! But soon after, we both had to go to the toilet! T___T Not my fault! At least I don't think it's due to my cooking! After cleaning up, we took a break and this is how we look.

After clearing up! Tired? Nah!

This is us! Fresh and ready to go out!

We headed for Gurney! Was supposed to have Sakae for lunch but plan was scrapped due to very heavy breakfast! Reached Gurney and watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Not exactly a big fan of HP but I do follow the series. A big let-down I should say! It was draggy and dull. Gloomy. Baby was getting really restless and told me "Get over with the talking already! Get to the action!" And just after she said it, we both saw this :

"Sari kata diterjemahkan oleh : .........."

Like wtf right? I've read the book but it was quite awhile back. And I honestly don't remember the book being anywhere near this boring! And to know that David Yates (the director) is lined up for the upcoming HP movies, *sighs*! Oh well, we walked down and headed over to Sakae's for dinner! Had our usual orders plus japanese-style chicken satay (way more expensive than the usual chicken satays we get!).

After filling our tummies, we walked around and decided to buy some materials for a low-budget scrapbook since we are in no position to actually afford the really really nice ones. And the glow on Ching's face after we bought those stuff really made my day! We had fries and sundae cones after that too! Then we headed home and that's all for today! Nights!

PICNIC DAY~

Today. is a very very happy day. :D

Jiuny and I went to fetch Aly from her house and we head over to Sarah's place for our 1st picnic! Sarah was already waiting in her garden when we arrive with lots of food!

I brought sausages and chips~

Jiun brought bread sushi! :

Aly brought potato salad!! Really yummy! and she made them by herself! :

Sarah prepared all the rest! She spent so much!! Thank you! ^__^

We went back inside after we're done eating and played two games called "Life"

and Pictionary!

Jiuny's drawing of a dinosaur.

My pirate!

This was supposed to be an Earth!

Aly was trying to draw a safety pin! xD

Both are drawings of Orang Utan xD Jiuny drew the left "Orang Utan". Mine's on the right.

Guess which turtle is mine? xP

Had lots and lots of fun today. Laugh non-stop wei! You la, ALY! Make us laugh so much! xD Can't wait for our next date! ^______________^

and hunny! I can't wait for our breakfast too! <3
