12/12/08 Friday 1730 : Finally, finished my practical training!!!
2100 : All packed, set, and off we go to the airport.
2350 : I'm in my plane, the engines are roaring, and my adventure begins!
It's a 12 hour flight to London and I filled my time with the in-flight entertainment and sleeping. Sleeping is hell! It's uncomfortable and I hurt my neck. Sheeeesh!
My entertainment.13/12/08 Saturday 1230(M'sia)0430(London) : Finally reached Heathrow Airport. It was a chilly 7deg C. I didn't go out of Heathrow cause I abandoned my plan of visiting my cousin due to his flu. So, I straight away went to Terminal 1 (where my next plane to Dublin is) which is a few minutes walk away.
0600 : I managed to get the earliest flight to Dublin; 730 am. Seems the flight is not full because I'm using an open ticket. I was even given a window seat! The departure gate opened at 0630 and so I waited...
That's the plane I boarded; BMI

Dublin, early in the morning.
Dublin, early in the morning.0830 : Flight went on as scheduled; 0730. The journey took 90 minutes. The immigration officer at Dublin airport sure asks a lot of questions! She's so strict, not even a smile to greet a tourist who's going to help his country's economy. Tsk2. Muaz picked me up and we took the bus to his house.
It's friggin' cold out there! When I landed, it was 3C! I get Afro to thank for for his coat, it's so warm. Thanks man!
Dublin's city as seen on the bus...
In Muaz's room. He got an exam coming up, was it 26 Dec? Can't remember. I rested, took my breakfast (Maggi n milo. haha), watched Arsenal vs Boro. Hijaz came over right after he finished his exam. We went out to the city for a little sightseeing.
1430 : After praying, we went out. They took me to a park first. I can't remember the name. They said in summer the place is beautiful.
Got few swans and ducks. My sister would be thrilled if she sees this. Didn't see any squirrels, though. Maybe I'll see more of them at Hyde Park in London.
The city is bustling! I think it's because of the weekend. It's very unique; left and right there's a lot of street performance. Busking is a common sight, so is miming.

A mime in progress...
At Trinity University. Standing in front of a bell tower. According to Hijaz, if the bell tolls when you're under it, it means you're going to fail (in your exams). I din't go under it; I've had enough failing. Hehe.
We went to the middle of the city, sightseeing, took a few snaps off my camera.
I liked this particular word spoken by some Jim Larkin :
The abovementioned Jim Larkin.
The Spiral. The highest structure in Dublin!
Didn't have lunch, so we're pretty hungry. We went to a halal fast food restaurant called Burger something. Can't remember, sorry. Hehe. For 8E, I got this meal set, a Double Double. All three of us took this set. The burger was HUGE! and they're not kedekut with the fries too! Man, were we full! The patty was thick! I don't think it was beef though, tasted like lamb... I don't care, I love it!
We walked a few more places, and we split up with Hijaz. Me and Muaz visited a few shopping complexes, and then took a bus home.
A christmas decoration...
There's a canal a few metres form his house, we visited for a while. Lots of swans in it.
One we got home, I was dead tired and slept like a log.
And now, here I am, writing a blog at 3 am wide awake because of the jetlag. Haha!
That's all for day one. Today we're going to play badminton in the morning, visit the Malaysian House for some event (I was told I can meet my other cousin there) and go somewhere that Muaz had planned for me. Stay tuned for more report!
