Dominik’s birthday party Part II

Today I got up much earlier than usual because Giang, Lord Dome, Son and I wanted to buy ingredients at an asia shop. We wanted to continue to celebrate Lord Dome’s birthday. We all met at 10 am at the asia shop and spent almost 2 hours there. Giang wanted to cook a lot of dishes for us all today and bake a birthday brownie for Lord Dome. „Dominik’s birthday party Part II“ weiterlesen

„If you want to escape, you have to defeat the king.“

(quote from Son, one of my afib classmates)

13th of April in 2018:

Foreword
First of all, I want to make clear that the jokes about King Dome and his afib domain are just for fun. And they based on a story, which occurred one year ago. I don’t want to embarrass Dominik. He is a great and talented guy.
By the way, Happy Birthday Dome, I wish you all the best, and please stay the way you are.

The Preacher Escape room

Day 14 14.04.2018 Saturday

 

At the morning me and Giang visited the botanic garden. In the botanic garden you can go into a house with a lot of different plants. The garden is very clean. Visitors with dogs have to clean up after them. The place has also a large green area to chill at. If you ever live near to the Queen’s University area then you should visit it if you want to do some sports. It’s really good for some jogging or to get a bit of fresh air at a very quiet place. But it closes at sunset so make sure to get there early enough. „The Preacher Escape room“ weiterlesen

Food and the Preacher

Today the 2nd part of my birthday party started early compared to my usual Saturdays since I’ve been here. I had to get up to meet Son and Giang at the Asia supermarket because we need to buy some groceries for today’s planned lunch/dinner. They had a lot in their minds. Of course, I didn’t have to suffer alone that’s why I took Phi with me. He is also a late riser like me.

The Asia market isn’t far away from my accommodation. It was refreshing to go for a walk in the morning. The shop is a vast hall, where one side, they store the products in large amounts, and on the other side of the building, they sell the products there. I helped them with finding the needed ingredients. Sometimes it was confusing because to have five different sorts of wheat noodles. Or some staff members don’t understand what we wanted to buy. „Food and the Preacher“ weiterlesen

Today is my birthday

Today is Friday, the 13th of April. This is a very special day for me because I was born exactly 20 years ago.

Even before the day even started, I got the first congratulations and punctually at 0:00 clock I was called by Son and Giang, which also congratulate me.

After sleeping for a few more hours, Jenny, which prepared a whole plate of pancakes for me, woke me up in the morning. After I had eaten some pancakes, I went to the workplace. There I got to know a new employee, whom I had not seen before, and then I was allowed to go home again at 2 pm. „Today is my birthday“ weiterlesen

Dominiks Birthday

Day 13 13.04.2018 Friday

 

At work my task was to upgrade several “cisco Asa (Asa,ASDM,Firepower)” with the help of “Xlight a ftp server” for upcoming projects. Before that I had to look at the configuration which i had to apply yesterday because there were a few problems which I had to troubleshoot first, before I could finish it now. While the asa updates got installed, Richard showed me how he troubleshoots a network problem. He teached me a little bit about “Wireshark”(a network sniffer/ analyser program). It’s pretty cool that you can filter everything out, what you want to analyse. On this day I worked most of the time alone, to upgrade the Cisco Asa and troubleshoot network problems. Some problems really gave me a headache because they weren’t as straightforward as I thought. So I had to look up a lot of things to gain more knowledge to solve them. About some things I also had to ask Richard. He explained to me the ways it works. „Dominiks Birthday“ weiterlesen

Quiz Night with Intern Europe

My second week in belfast started great the weather is getting slightly better and I’am getting used to the food. On tuesday i started work a little earlier so I would have time to go to the gym before our Quiz Night with Intern Europe starts. The gym isnt as big as I hoped it would be but that will be enough for 2 months. When i came home at 6 pm i had to be quite fast because I wanted to get to the Parlour for the Quiz Night in time. We were put into groups with other people but they were mostly germans also, it was a funny evening so we decided to stay a little longer till around 1 am in the morning which I instantly regretted after I woke up.

It was a nice evening and I’d like to thank Intern Europe for it
