A night out =)

Pic: at Ken's apartment, Ryan, me, Chai Zhen, Anju, Ken, Sam, Alwyn.

After PMCSA Sports Day, (UCD boleh!!!! hehe), a bunch of us hung out for dinner and had a nice time at Chai Zhen and Anjanna's after that. One thing, it's warmer in the city than in Belfield!

p.s. : Chai Zhen, trust us, it IS warm! hahaha..

DST ends!

Aaah =) gained an hour, hahaha... it's now 8 hours difference from Malaysia. Daylight saving ended today and autumn is finally here! It felt good turning back time, the power of time manipulation muahahaha.. But how depressing, it turns dark at 1730 and during winter at 1600+.. sob..

Farmed!

Yay! A farm trip, the journey lasted 1.5-2 hrs. Pretty long. Took the N3 and the M50, northbound. We passed Navan, and Kells, and the farm is just beyond Kells in County Meath. 68km as the crow flies.

Tom, digging for turf (peat used for fuel) in a bog. Almost like Malaysia's peat. Also, deep in the peat, it's as cold as a fridge. Last time, they actually stored butter in the bog.
