185

185 days in Ireland!
Blink of an eye and it's already half years time for me, here in Dublin, Ireland.


Stephen's Green Park. Definitely a good getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city!
Especially during the Autumn season.
Autumn is a second Spring :) 
Basically saying, this is my FIRST time experiencing Autumn in an overseas country,
as you know... Malaysia is a tropical weather country,
so don't come and telling me:" LOL you've been living for 19 years and you're telling me you never experienced Winter?!"

My customers told me:" Oh yeah, you definitely gonna enjoy Winter here in Ireland (ironic much!!)"
xD

But anyway,
I guess we're gonna survive our first beautiful winter here in Ireland ;)
but before that,
let's just learn to enjoy it first ;)


Head to town on a Saturday morning.
Wandering around, thinking of where can I go in this jam packed Christmas shopping season...

Then it strucked me.
TODAY IS SATURDAY!! THERE'S A MARKET IN TEMPLE BAR I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO!!!



And tada! Here I am!
Err... what can I say?... Hmm..
It's basically a small market selling local products like Cheese,


bakeries,


some barbecue stuff, 




and probably some fish that helps you live longer.


It's really small,
almost 5 percent of our pasar malam size in JB.
= =`
To be honest, I enjoyed looking at all the stuffs they are selling,
organic apples, homemade yogurt, crepes, cookies and choco cakes (YUM!), or maybe some Mexican food as well.
Compared to our pasar (market) over there...
It's so much more healthier!!!!!
hahaha



This little bakery stall caught my eye!
Mince pies, coconut cookies, Mars cookies. Oh God.

Couldn't resist the temptation and bought one little chocolate biscuit cake and tried :)
To my surprise,
not only there's choco, biscuit in the cake,
there's also caramel and with little chunks of marshmallows!!!
Whoever baked this,
You are a genius.

Wandering around Old Temple Bar after my little cake feast,
passed by Gallery of Photography Ireland,



Hmm, let's just popped in and see ;)


Came to my surprise,
Hmm...NOT BAD AT ALL.
Enjoyed looking at all the photographs in the Gallery,
if you're a photomaniac, or camera guy or girl,
this Gallery is definitely a must-go for you!
May be a bit small,
but the photographs (especially the galleries on 2nd floor, my fav)
were so full of emotions and life-realistic.
There's even a little shop downstairs,
may even find you fav photography book ;)

After my little adventure in Old Temple Bar,
head to city center and see what's going on there...


Christmas decorations are all up,
Dazzling Christmas trees,
everybody carrying bags of shopping goodies, (despite of the economy recession..Hmm..)

Oh well,
less than a month and it's 2013.

Time flies.

Live now.
Stay strong.
Be happy.
:)

"Kept on telling myself not to think too much,
if things are meant for you, it will be for you."

Cheers!
Have a great December everyone! :)
