in search of starbucks (sg)

Just wanted to know if there’s any difference between Malaysia and Singapore Starbucks.

(actually an excuse to drink overpriced coffee while on holiday la)

Coffee-wise, not much of a difference. Depends on the barista I guess.

They have more comfy chairs though.

what i did during cny (first half)

It’s the third day of Chinese New Year and I’m at Starbucks @ City Square JB. Might as well utilise their free wireless service and post some photos.

Mom cooked up a feast of everything I like for our traditional reunion dinner.

Since we are Fu Chow people, we always have the zhao kuey for breakfast on the first day of Chinese New Year.

It’s rice wine thing with chicken and mee suah, someone feel free to explain it in proper English.

After breakfast we went to my grandmother’s place for the maternal extended family get-together.

That’s my grandma and I (duh)… she gave me a very big angpow this year, yay!

I also met up with my high school mates, Melissa and Shee Teng.

I did drink with my auntie and uncle with the fridge full of expensive alcohol. I also drank (a bit) with these fellas:

Edwin tongues Doofus (almost)

Somehow I get the feeling that Jimmy is afraid of me.

I wonder why.

Then today I drove down to Johor Bahru to meet Pinky.. coz my passport expired and so I can’t enter Singapore, she came to JB instead.

Pinky loves Starbucks

She’s gone back to Sing-kah-poh, I stayed around a bit for the wireless access. And now I seriously need to pee then drive back to BP. Bye.

Technology is amazing.

Laptop + camera phone + bluetooth stuff + free wireless = this post.

I love living in the 21st century.

p/s : I’m feeling slightly awed/humbled/contemplative because 10 years ago I was going to cyber cafes at RM10 per hour, wondering what the hell the Internet was all about.
