Dad finally had a bite of Cadbury Chocolate and Caramel ice cream. Yeah, the one with the cover of Mr and Mrs Incredible.
No one's at home except me today. So, i chat with Tash thru msn at home, before going out to do self study. (Cos i am faced with several temptations at home. the computer, the dvd player, pulp fiction, godfather trilogy etc...doing self study at cafes or libraries can help me to concentrate better.) Before leaving home, i took some pic for Tash and his reply: so adorable...
Had my lunch at Sumo House, and it seems that it's not really worth my money now. A serving of Tori katsudon still sell at $2.90, but, they cut down the portion of rice and chicken cutlet. Kena conned, as what Frankie Foo says.
And i decided to go to town today. So, i went to Suntec City. On the bus, i just found out that...
My earphones is not working. It's time to get a set of new earphones.
After walking round and round Suntec Area for a cheap and good earphones, i bought a set of Sony earphones at $16 in this shop named Boon Enterprise. Not intended to get a more expensive one, cos once i gotten my pay for SIP, i am getting an MP3. Then, i invest on a set of better earphones.
And i found the place for me to setle down: Starbucks Suntec City. And i realised one thing: they still used the lamazocco expresso machine, but they used a more refined cups with saucers for hot drinks, compared to porcelain cups in other oulets. (Thought that after Starbucks Inc acquired the franchise rights frm Bonstar, they changed the whole style of running the green circle coffe chains. They used more refined cups and bigger square plates for a small muffin. Until when i walked pass PS outlet, i just realised that this was not the case.)
I had a grande hot chocolate, and guess what? they used a cup with saucer, and just realised that they did some changes to the recipe: they cut down the amount of milk, and replaced with 2 scoops of foam. A fucking $4.70 for that 2 scoop of foam, and took away that few ml of milk. Initially you had cocoa filled to about 1/6 of the rim, then top it up with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
And that's what i mean by chocolate cappuccino. (By right, it should be knowed as chocolate latte, cos cappuccino consist of 1/2 milk and 1/2 foam. Latte is 1 scoop of foam on top of the drink. But i can't used latte, cos chocolate latte = mocha. And as for why it is known as chocolate cappuccino? those cups are meant for serving cappuccinos.) And for ya general info, cream is heavier than foam. So when the barista topped the foam with whipped cream, you get...
a flow of drinks. The foam flowed out and stains the lovely cup instantly. Yep, and a sip of that lovely dovey drink was wasted.
And that $4.70 was kena fucking wasted. They sell the apperance, not the practicality.
Finally, i had the luxury of sitting on the couch just beside their 'fireplace'. Stayed there for an hour, and feels that it is lovely to have a cuppa with friends there, but it's kinda uncondusive to study there, cos there are people eyeing the seats, or rather, the best seat on the house.
Decided to go to Far East later after sitting on the couch for an hour. Nothing much changes, but decided to get a new tie from Isrida for my SIP. (Oh yeah, James keep on changing his fanciful ties everytime i saw him in sch. )
Let's focus on how am i going to fight against my MA paper this wed now. =(
