It's been 2 years now but I still cant get over Dublin... the beautiful city that stole my heart away. Yeah its actually literally like that. So now as the day arrives this year I cant help myself but cherish those moments I had then.
I was supposed to fly on the 28th April 2008 (Saturday) by the 2.50am flight but I received my VISA only on 27th April at 7.30pm. And I am still at work. I was still wondering how do I come home, pack up my bags and leave in 2 hours... when my boss got it postponed to 30th April 2008 (Monday) for 2.50am. So I could attend church that sunday and by evening I had all my friends come to meet me. It was an awesome feeling.
Though I was flying outside the country for the first time, I wasn't really excited about the flight. Cos I was too busy preparing for my days there. My mind was all pre-occupied with everything I had to do when I land in Dublin. So the initial 2 hours of my journey was the most lousiest. Cos I wasnt really thinking about Dublin but just about my work. So then I reached the airport by 11pm and was listening to my cd player until 1.30am. I boarded the plane by 2.30am. And exactly at 2.50am the plane moved away from the gate and took off. Just then it sank in me that I was moving away from my country... I was flying to Dublin...
At 3.15am I had my meals, which I don't remember but it was cool. At 3.30am they put on a sad Salman Khan starer Bollywood movie. I believe I was the only in the flight who was watching the movie. I woke up at 8am to be welcomed by fresh warm breakfast and followed by another movie. I landed at Frankfurt airport by 7.50am. I walked around aimlessly around this massive airport for an hour killing my 2 hour stop-over time there. As I was window shopping I came across a Tommy Hilfiger Showroom. I bought myself a jacket for Euro 153.
By 10.15am I took my flight to Dublin. I arrived in Dublin airport at 11.30am. I got my immigration checks done by 12pm and I got my cab and got to my office in Dun Laoghaire. My Project Manager Sandra drove me home in her car and I was home by 1pm. Well there's so many things to write about but I don't want any of my friends/visitors to fall off to sleep reading them...
Yesterday we had this power cut in office and we didn't know what to do? so we took our guitar and started playing music until it was back again. We started off with Beatles and John Denver and went on to singing some of the classics by Michael Learns To Rock... and I was like... WOW I need to listen to some of MLTR soon... anyways the power came back at 4pm and then we stopped and I headed back home...
