Chan Weng Kit's Blogspot: DAY 383/384/385

Sept 18, 19 & 20

1) The past three days have been a flurry of activities. For one, we've returned to the old Anatomy Room (after restoration), and been assigned a cadaver for each table. It's our last semester in the Anatomy Room, after which we will be transferred to Beaumont Hospital. While rushing to make it for the 8.00am class on Monday, I managed to take a nice, picturesque shot of the sunrise at Dundrum, complete with contrails from multiple aeroplanes. A beautiful sight to brighten up my day.

2) Tuesday was mostly studying, with many of us opting for Dicey's after lessons. We introduced our Thai friends to the humongous and delish portions that is synonymous with Dicey's, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Come evening time, Vik and I (representing the RCSI-MUN Society) went for the President's Meeting, along with the other clubs and societies of RCSI.

3) Earlier today, Melissa and Melvin had invited us for a BBQ dinner at their church (Grosvenor Road Baptist Church), and Zi Yan, Kuhan, Lai, Giovanni, and I decided to come along. We took the bus to Dublin 6, and walked a short distance to Grosvenor Road (pronounced "Grovner Road" apparently). We had a lovely time meeting other students from various countries, and the banter was that much more memorable with good food. We had grilled sausages and burgers, with all the fixings. Then it was time to roast our own marshmallows over a fire pit. I even had a stab at making my first ever legitimate s'more (Graham cracker, chocolate, and roasted marshmallow dessert), and it tasted great!

4) After our appetite was satiated, it was time to demonstrate our musical talent. Some members began strumming their guitars, while the rest (myself included) sang in unison to some popular hits. Zi Yan helped project the lyrics on to the screen so all of us could sing along. In a nutshell, we had a ball. It was getting late, so after thanking everyone for their hospitality, we excused ourselves and left. Melvin, Melissa, and Zi Yan went off separately, leaving us behind to take the bus back to Aungier Street. From there, I took the LUAS back home - just in time to have a nice long chat with my dad, and to type this out. School tomorrow (today XD) starts late, so I can afford the liberty of staying up to type this out. Anyway, that's been the gist of my past three days, and hopefully you enjoyed reading about it. Have a nice day, cheers!
