I've been busy these few months, now it's finally time to chill.
Week 1 of April was SU campaign week. Sibeh hectic lol no more. This year's competition was really tough as there were 3 teams running. Our opponents were strong, I didn't think we stand a chance especially for the popularity votes. My team started preparing last year before winter break and we went through some difficult situations where we had to change our members, twice. Everything's paid off when we won lol too bad I wasn't there when they announced, I was in Limerick for badminton intervarsity (week 2). Literally tears of joy when I saw my messenger haha. Losing in semifinals didn't matter anymore ;)
Week 3 there's a 30% quiz, which I clearly didn't prepare enough due to the distractions I've had for the past few weeks (excuses). Spent the next 2 weeks studying/cursing/dreading for finals. If I don't pass this time, I'll still be around during summer for resit (lol positivity at its best). 加上考试期间收到学校电邮说其他两组投诉我们搞到要找职员调查到底要怎么专心读书嘛。有了权力政治就无所不在啊还以为医学院的学生都慈悲为怀看来我想太多。
Started travelling 2 days after exam to Venice, Rome & Croatia. Venice is a romantic city, love the buildings, love the food. In Rome, the people I've met were mostly rude. Had to watch out for pickpocket 24/7, even the train ticket machine warned you abt it. Vatican city was DA BOOM. The crowd was unbelievable, thank God we bought the skip-line ticket + guide. SO. WORTH. IT. I sibeh gandong when I saw Michael Angelo's painting in Sistine Chapel (had to bear with people mountain people sea but the place's just beautiful). Flew to Croatia for 9 days after Rome, spent 2 nights in Plitvice Park. It reminds me of SAB camping days :) After that we went island hopping in a private yacht with only 8 of us + skipper. It was fun at the beginning but every island looked the same lol, I realised how much I miss Dublin after spending few days on the yacht.
ZH waited for me at the airport and I couldn't be more pleased :3 It's been roughly a month since we last met due to our schedules etc but he'll be with me till he flies back on 9th June. Summer research is starting next week, can't wait for the allowance to cover up my travel expenses lol.
I'll be back in August, see y'all then :)
