Coffee Art Just for Me

     My colleague, Sharon, was always telling me of the great coffee art that she gets at McCafe but I never seem to get them. She told me later that I have to request for it. I've never felt comfortable requesting for it even as I kept hoping that I'd get it, LOL.

     I was at Civic Centre's McCafe the other evening and the barista who made my coffee was someone I'd spoken to before. A nice young Indian man, very friendly and with a wonderful smile. So I asked if I could get some coffee art on the Mocha I'd ordered. He was happy to oblige so I finally got my authentic coffee art. Aaah, little pleasures....

A Saturday Morning with Mum...

      It was my Saturday off today so I spent it with mum, having breakfast and marketing at Geylang Serai.

I remember frequenting this guy's stall with my parents from a very young age. His nickname is "Fatty", not complimentary I know but he was a big man or seemed thus when I was a young child. 

My mum's gone to this meat stall for as long as I can remember too.

That's our beef on that weighing machine, all 2kg of them! 

This stall has the best fish crackers in town! Of course she sells other types as well. Take your pick!  They also sell coffee and while I was there I couldn't miss the wafting scent of fresh ground coffee. Hmm mmmm mmmm! 

No Rest for the Wicked...

     With less than two weeks left to the academic year, things are starting to really get busy! Sigh... This is the time that reminds me how much I hate paperwork! Oh well, no rest for the wicked, eh?

Billy Burke's Removed Official Video

     Man oh man, Billy Burke is totally SMOKIN'!! in this video!

     This is his first single, by the way. I love it. It's folksy and edgy and suits his voice. But I am surely surprised at the video. Oh and if I'm not mistaken, that's Mrs Burke in the video too! 

Love is Forever...

     I've been eagerly anticipating this song when I heard that Muse was confirmed for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's soundtrack. As with most of Muse songs, I needed time to get used to it but the end result is inevitable, I loved it. Matt Bellamy has the great talent of mixing such wonderful lyrics to equally powerful music and he did not disappoint. 

     Then on Thursday, they released the official music video.  OH! MY! GOD!! It was totally epic! The amazing song with clips from the upcoming movie (some of which have never been seen) pushed the song's calibre into grandiose! To say that the final effect outstanding seems an understatement! It was spectacular, it amazing, it was totally epic!

Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever)

I was searching you were on a mission
Then our hearts combined like a neutron star collision
I have nothing left to lose
You took your time to choose
Then we told each other with no trace of fear that

Our love would be forever
And if we die, we die together
Well I, I said never
Cause our love would be forever

The world is broken, halos fail to glisten
We try to make a difference but no one wants to listen
Hail the preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud
Then they'll dissipate like snowflakes in an ocean

Love is forever and we'll die
We'll die together
Well I, I said never
Cause our love, could be forever

Now I've got nothing left to lose
You take your time to choose
I can tell you now without a trace of fear

That my love will be forever
And well die, we'll die together
Will I, I will never
Cause our love will be forever

     Now I only hope that the song would make the actual movie itself. Judging how the first singles released from Twilight (Paramore's Decode) and New Moon (Death Cab for Cutie's Meet me on the Equinox), did not make it into the actual movie but were only played in the credits has me a wee bit worried though. It would be an absolute crime to exclude this massive song!

Looking Good Even After 17 Years....

     On Friday eve, a few of my schoolmates and I from the now defunct National Institute of Commerce (later known as Institute of Education Bishan) finally got around to meeting up for dinner after 17 years! 

    I'd met a few in passing but this was the first time we really sat down and chatted. Better late than never I guess.Great food, great laughs and just plain great company, What more could one ask for! A few of us couldn't make it for one reason or another but hey, that'll surely give an excuse to meet up again. =D

Bite Me...

     Look what the postman brought me today.....

     Not too long ago, the postman also brought me these...

     In case you're wondering about the title of my post, it's because of this little note I got in today's post. There was a wee message at the back but the note itself was what caught my attention.

     Not clear enough? Not to worry, I've zoomed in on the note.

     Yup! It does say "Bite Me..." and it has two columns. One says "Do", where you can write the things you want to do, and the other says "Dream". In that column, there is no room to write anything but there is an outline of Edward Cullen. Now how tempting is that?!

     Upon closer inspection (only as I'm writing this post as a matter of fact), I realised there are sub-headings under them too. On the left, "Do - To do when you are not dreaming about Edward..."  On the right, "Dream - To doodle on when you are dreaming about Edward...."  Ha ha ha!! I swear, that little note was just there to tease me!

     Oh yes, thank you my fairy godmothers, Chris and Mar, for these most delightful treats!  What splendid ways to feed my addiction!
