Old Town Coffee

Woooo... it's been some time since my last update. Too busy with work these days. As my colleague mentioned today, I look like a porcupine.

"Too many arrows sticking out of my back..." -_-"

Yep, ever since I was duped into the printer project, I have been working overtime and weekends. Oh... this reminds me to ask for 2 off days from my project manager for last Sunday and accumulated OT hours. All these work result in me not able to find time to post my Taipei and the recent Batam trip.

Anyway, before I go off topic too much. Last Saturday, Angie and I went down to East Coast, Playgroud @ Big Splash for makan on the way back from my parent's place. I say, the place is happening sia. There are many people eating and shopping there. Yes you heard me right, shopping because there is a car boot sale there.

So we went to Old Town cafe for our dinner. The white coffee they served is the best coffee I ever drink. It's so smooth. Not too sweet and not too bitter. Just the right balance. After drinking that, the coffee at the canteen at my workplace taste like long kao (drain) water. The nasi lemak I have is not like those sold in your local coffee shop. The chicken is well fried and crispy. The rice is fragrant and kinda taste like chicken rice IMO. ROFL!

All I say is the food and coffee is very nice. Definitely worth going back. Maybe will organize a trip there with my family as the seafood restaurant (thanks to Jasmine) offer quite an affordable ala carte lunch.

Minimization

These days, we are seeing our electronics gadgets getting smaller and slimmer. That's the age of minimization. Making things more portable. Never have I thought they will do the same thing to fruits.

Yes, you did not read wrongly. Let me introduce the mini mango, mini watermelon and small pineapple. Now I can bring a watermelon to work without bursting my bag. :P

Roller Blading for the First Time

A few weeks ago, Angie and I went to Changi Village for breakfast and cycling. Often seeing some kids roller blading at my place. I decided to borrow my sister-in-law's roller blade to have a try myself.

We find ourselves a nice spot by the beach to put those blades on. After struggling to wear them (my sister-in-law have smaller feet than mine), I finally get to stand up with the blades on the grass area. Everything is so stable.

"HA! This is a piece of cake." I thought to myself, "Let's hit the road!"

Man, I was so wrong. The blades came alive immediately when I step onto the bicycle pavement. My legs keep wobbling trying to keep my balance. I can't even find the energy to push myself forward. Most of the time I am struggling not to fall on my backside. How did those kids and babes at East Coast do it?

After struggling for half an hour plus so humiliating falls and laughing by Angie, I decided to call it a day. I end up with quite a sore ankle from all the twisting n balancing. I guess it is not as simple as it looks then. :(

My Headphones Gone Wireless

Ah... my new Sennheiser wireless headphones have arrived. Bought it at Amazon and get vpost to ship it over here. Only problem is the power adapter is the US 110V. Have to go to Homefix to get an AC convertor. No more irritating and dangling wires.

The headphones works like a charm. The sound quality is excellent. I can wear the headphones and walk all the way to the kitchen without any loss in sound or drop in sound quality. Cool....
