currently brewing : onward
the thing about coffee is that it is humble. warm. connecting. and surely this also has much to do with the coffee shop itself.
connecting? yea. connecting us to others, while at the same time reconnecting us to ourselves (schultz, 2011). helping you find back your very own peace. assuring your soul that warm is still exist in the middle of a long cold day. giving you a refreshment to move on and rock the day.
i used to refuse the fact that coffee is good. it was bitter and black and gloomy. but thanks to starbucks who had changed that mindset :) with starbucks, coffee turns to be a good experience. hey, that gloomy black thing could indeed be good!
not only coffee though, starbucks actually taught me a lot of things. to dare to dream. to celebrate little things. to find comfort in small things. to actually live with people. to follow your heart. to put your family at the top of the list, even when your company has grown into a worldwide chain. to love people.
schultz indeed has done a superbly good job. and good books :D if you are into books, pour your heart into it and onward by howard schultz are really worth reading!
some says starbucks does not brew good coffee.
oh. who cares?
and answer this : if its coffee is not good, how could it be the largest coffee chain on earth to date?

pinky in action part 2 : french?
INT. STARBUCKS STORE - DAY
pinky takes big steps approaching the counter in her white shirt, pencil skirt, and heels, eager to be having her all-time favourite dark mocha fraps. her heels create noisy sounds as they touch the marbled floor.

CUT TO:
COUNTER
she mentioned her order to the guy behind the counter who had greeted her cheerfully. he offered the largest size of the glass, but refused by pinky who said 'ah no, thanks. grande would be good.' the guy asked whether he could serve the drink in a non-disposable glass, and she said okay. pinky paid for her fraps.
CUT TO:
PICK-UP BAR
pinky waits for her fraps to be ready, putting the $2 change in her maroon wallet. the cheerful guy places her order on the bar, tilts his head, and asks,
'are you french?'
pinky smiles in confusion, answering,
'nah. do i look french?'
he shrugs and smiles back.
'so where're you from?'
'i'm from indonesia.'
he smiles again. pinky grabs one of the signature green straws and waves a thank. he gives a cheerful bye bye as she walks off to her sofa.

jestem polakiem
im incredibly tired!
but life has been fun, though.
friday :
went to bukit timah nature reserve to help mr. ar guide our juniors. walked in a jungle :D
he treated us 4 large pizzas then. now i know that canadian pizza is better than pizza hut.
saturday :
went for dance training, met yoyo in a traffic when i was munching pearls of a bubble milk tea :D
after training, we strolled for another cup of bubble milk tea. shiok!
i've been drinking a lot of bubble milk tea these days. ya i do mean a lot. like, everyday :) somehow it became my mood booster. oh crap, now i get addicted.
found starbucks and wedding planner books in school library. i gotta go borrow it on holiday yeyeyey :D
dont know why, but im always interested in being a wedding planner. sounds fun and ... beautiful.
for me, a wedding planner brings bliss and joy in many lives. isnt it just a form of beauty?
imagine it, a wedding, that is a once-in-a-lifetime moment in one's life, is being trusted to you, to be arranged sacredly yet beautifully. ah :)
when i was little, i once told mommy that i wanted to be a wedding planner -well it happened after i watched JLo in the wedding planner :D but really, i have always been interested ever since, that i always put it as a second job candidate in my list, after hospitality for sure :)
starbucks?
kinda love everything everything about it.
beverages? nice.
food? mouth-watering.
place? cozy.
guests? many ang mos :D
call me a kampong girl, but i always liked foreigner. i even dreamed of a foreign future hubby :D
and starbucks represents my dream lifestyle, where you can sit in a cozy atmosphere listening to comforting music all day long. i could sit at starbucks from morning till evening without getting bored. and i did it! last last holiday :)
i always picture this in my mind:
having a quality me time at starbucks, having caramel frappuccino and cheese bagel or brownies or panini, while digging a romantic novel. what a life.
sometimes i feel that the most talkative time in my life is when writing blog posts.
ciao!

brownies!
hi!
today, i did something girly. well, GIRLY.
i made a brownies with my old lady! :)
well, this is the first time i made a cake, and i begin with the simplest one, the brownies. and this afternoon, we made a dream comes true :)
what i could say is, brownies is not difficult at all. you just have to melt the butter and chocolate, mix all the ingredients, bake it in 180 C for 25 mins, and voila! a yummy, gooey brownies with slightly springy top is ready to rock!
my old lady and i are planning to make our next brownies, this time with coffee :) i really love espresso brownies in starbucks!
good night, world. :)
