| i want my two dollars ninety cents back! |
This week, i have made two unworthy purchases.
1. Mocha from Spiga.
2. Latte from Blueprint.
I guess the mocha wasn't too bad, despite it being usually strong and powdery, it was reasonably bareable. Today, after suffering from some severe sleep deprivation this week, i knew i wouldn't be able to last my five hour shift at work without some sort of stimulant. Being rather adventurous of me, instead of going the usual mocha from barettos or plush fish, i decided to take a punt at the rather ragged looking cafe diagonally opposite to our beloved physiotherapy building.
The cafe lady was nice and welcoming. I asked for my Latte (another brave move on my behalf). I walked out, intially, very content with my purchase. But as i sipped the dilated, watered down latte, i cringed. I swear, it probably had a dilution factor nearing 70% water to 30% coffee. Water would've tasted much better. If only it was possible to demand a refund on coffee.
Oh well.
I don't know whether it's me or something else. I think my tastebudds have grown exponentially these couple of months, and the more i eat out, the higher my expectations. For instance, i can no longer tolerate packaged nuts, i greatly prefer low-fat milk, and i only drink certain rather expensive tea at home, instead of the usual tea bags. This is not to say that i would refuse to eat or drink anything other than them, but my preference and expectations have risen. My tastebudds have been too pampered lately.
Speaking of food, i have not had such a satisfying dinner in a restaurant for a while. Meshiya. I love you. Despite the unintended addition of a decorative ladybug on my salad, i can truly rank you up within my top 10 beloved restaurants. |

Hahah..ok, good point. Maybe we shouldn't imagine it then. I'll just stick with having a 'classy' tongue ;)

and having a classy tongue is good!

Thoughts, ...flowing slowly and gracefully, ...awakening the senses, ...keeping you up in the night, I sometimes wonder why people write. To express? To reflect? To be heard? I write, to free myself from a world of thoughts.
