Day 1

Today was great, the morning started off with us getting ready to go to the university campus for a tour and briefing of what we are suppose to do.

Caroline was very nice to drive us and show us the way so that we will know how to get there when she's not around. The morning of Ireland was lovely, very cold but yet the view was breath taking.

The short drive to the university was enjoyable and upon arrival, we had a tiny incident! Shavonne found 3 euro worth of coins on the floor but no one bothered picking it up because it was cold so I did the dirty job :p

Met with the international Non-eu in charge, Mr Donal. He was kind enough to show us around the campus and bought us breakfast! Its on the school tab actually but oh well, it was a nice gesture. Irish breakfast was dammmmm good. The bacon tastes much more meaty and tasty compared to singapore. I had scrambled egg with hot dog, bacon and a bread. It was simple yet very very satisfying.

After the simple breakfast, we met up with our in charge of our project, Joseph. He is a very knowledgeable guy in gaming. We are suppose to research on AI and the different implementation into game engine. Over the course of 11 weeks. I can sense a lot of work to do. Hopefully, it's easy.

After the short briefing and knowing our job scope, we left the campus and went to do some grocery shopping. Shavonne is doing a dish but she forgotten about the recipe, so we bought some stuff and headed home to check the recipe. Something which we forgotten is that EUROPE country doesn't give out plastic bag when you buy stuff anymore! So we have two 2 litre of lemonade, a whole chicken, some celery and carrots. It is funny with Shavonne having celery sticking out of her pocket. I had the 2 lemonade in my bag while Pei Sheng had the chicken in his bag. Zhen ming got all the other vegetable :P

Now I am back at home in the living room with Thomas by my right side and Shavonne by my left doing her checking. It's 2.32pm local time, with a temperature of 5 degrees outside. >_<

UPDATE 8.00pm Ireland time : Just finished dinner. It was lovely. Well, the rice is over cooked but the other things were nicely done. The chicken is EXCELLENT! Good job well done Shavonne! :p
I helped a bit but I guess she should get all the credit :)

During dinner, there was red wine AGAIN. Well, I don't hate red wine but its not easy for me to drink it. It was lovely though. Great company and great food.

I really love it here. Lots of fun and lots of laughter. My OSIP mates are great. Really, they are. :)
