We went to 'sleep' at quarter past 2, and ended up talking and talking and talking til, "Oh shit, it's 5 o'clock" then talked some more before deciding to finally sleep :P An hour later, KJ woke up and started getting ready - leaving me in bed til quarter to 7.. Taxi arrived at 7 and we embarked on our day trip :) Talked some more on the bus, good thing we decided to sleep or things would have ended up something like, "Oh shit, we're in Dublin already?"
Had breakfast at Burger King and then started shopping.. Shopping wise - I came back with a new pair of pants (trousers) and a new pair of shoes :P Pretty unfruitful - imagined myself coming home, up to my elbows with bags and bags of stuff.. But no.. Whenever you set out with the purpose of buying something, you end up finding nothing.. And when window shopping, you end up finding everything you've ever wanted :P Haha, I exaggerate but that's the irony of it..
Food wise - nothing could go wrong - other than ordering too, too much.. Dim sum for lunch! (an hour or so after 'breakfast') Hmmm, what did we have.. We had.. Siew mai, ha kaw, char siew, siew yuk, jellyfish, beancurd rolls, lo mai kai, prawn dumplings, char siew pau, egg tarts.. Can't remember what else.. But for 2 not-so-hungry friends, it was a lot.. Ended up playing a game, just so we'd be able to finish everything.. We asked each other questions, and if someone didn't get the answer right, or didn't have the answer to their own question - they'd have to eat up :) Good game, haha, cos I won! Mwahahaha.. Still ended up having to take food away :P So, maybe now you have an idea of how much we ordered.. Pudged around Grafton and Henry Street with full bellies after that.. I gave up on shopping after the abovementioned bought items, and we went to look for the 'Oriental Emporium' instead.. Bought some Asian food to bring back and then went to Haagen Dazs.. And we ate the fondue for 2 :) Aaaaaah.. SOOOO yum-yum ;) Went back to Burger King again after that - to buy food to take on the bus..
Saw a lady at the ATMs begging for money, and saw a man on the street playing the accordion and entertaining a group of people for money.. Which one would you rather be?
Today went to church as usual :) Message today was really good.. Bout temptation.. You think you've heard it all but.. Yeah, you haven't really :P Temptation isn't sin, they're not interchangeable words. God can use your temptations to reveal what's in your heart - what you're hungry for.. Those are the main things I got out of the sermon today :P The excitement of the day must have kicked them out my brain..
After church, Steph, Ji, Esther and I went over to Hema's place to hang out before we all went to McD's for lunch.. KJ and Thava only arrived later.. But yeah, I felt a little awkward cos it was sorta the first time we all hung out after Thava and I got together.. I do not enjoy being teased. Just get a little annoyed and yeah.. So uncomfortable.. Anyway.. Yeah, got a couple of things from Dunnes after that and came home..
Boring afternoon, tidying up and ironing and folding some laundry.. Until I got a phone call from Zool, "Afza can't wake up! Can you call an ambulance?" Ran downstairs and picked up the phone book to look for an emergency number.. Didn't find one so looked for hospitals and called UCHG.. After calling, went to tell Sheila and Imran who were in the kitchen.. Raced to Afza's house to find the paramedics standing over an unconscious Afza, taking her blood pressure and checking her blood glucose.. Blood pressure was raised and blood glucose was normal.. They tried to wake her up as well, and it didn't work. Zool tested her pupillary reflex earlier (shone a light into her eyes to see if her pupils contracted) and they were absent. Ambulance took her to the hospital where she was taken to the 'Resuscitation room' to be resuscitated obviously.. Zool was with her then, Sheila, Zaidan and I were sitting outside just waiting.. Finally got to get inside and the nurse told us she'd be OK.. No sigh of relief yet though, she was still unconscious.. Blood pressure was low and heart rate was much lower than normal.. And her arms just felt so cold.. And she looked so tired.. The nurse then gave her an IV drip of a sodium solution, and wheeled her into the next room.. After a couple minutes, Afza came to and I called Sheila and Zaidan in.. Then the sigh of relief :) Apparently she fainted because of an overreactive vaso-vagal reflex.. It's happened before but they didn't diagnose her condition. She's fine and well now, sleeping off her tiredness :)
And its the beginning of another week, wonder what happened to the last one and why it went by so fast..
My lover-ly pancake from 2 weeks ago.. Picture taken.. 2 weeks ago :D Mwahahaha..
