blogging from afar

well, not quite far, but relatively. I am currently in Northern Ireland, a very picturesque place with breathtaking views, especially along to coast. It's no wonder that the song from Westlife comes into mind now. I could just sing along to it while walking along the coast!

The first couple of days have been absolutely wonderful! my itenary was that i went to Ballycastle as my pitstop to visit the Carrick-a-Rede (the rope bridge) and Giant Causeway. The weather was predicted to be cloudy and rainy by BBC for the whole week, BUT thankfully enough, it has been great! especially in the afternoon! the mornings and evenings were slightly cloudy, but NO RAIN!! *thanks God*

the sights and formations of the rocks and caves..and all that stuff that you learn in Geography back in lower high school were so amazing! i also enjoyed the walks very very much, and yesterday, it was realllllyyy good! i think i could have gone further but a distance of 10km in half a day with a schedule to follow was fair game. =D the walk from the Old Bushmills whiskey distillery heading towards Dunluce Castle was really good. Sights in tow were the small town, the farms, and as I headed towards the cliffs by the coast, the spanning atlantic ocean and the irish sea! the castle was located just by the cliff, of which its kitchen had collapsed down the sea a few centuries ago! so just imagine how awesome where it sits! pictures to follow when i manage to upload them later on....its simply great!

i have 4 more days here..and already think that i've enjoyed myself tremendously.

(though occasionally, thoughts of the exam results pops up....and make me ridded with guilt)

nevertheless. i hope that all my friends, wherever they might be - back in the comfort of home in Malaysia, still having their exams in unis, or also holidaying - are safe and sound and having a pleasant time

cya!
