Today i went for the written assessment, as part of a pre-selection round for the mpa scholarship. well, i was dere anyhow whacking the 1.5-hour-long essay, cos im not prepared to be selected for the next round de.. so its just an experience for me.. And i was like half-asleep while typing the senseless and brainless essay.. hee.
And after that, i went to meet lanjiao ppl for our DREAM MENU OUTING EPISODE 3!!!
First, we went to watch Dorm. Oh, i remembered this morning, i was checking the movie listings, den i saw one comment for Dorm, saying that its "Meaningful!". I was like laughing to myself, "how can a horror movie ever be
meaningful..." ANd today, after watching the movie, i got the answer.. Its really a touching nice story and NOT the normal horror movie that it was advertised as. SO ppl who are hesitating to watch it, for reasons associating with the lack of courage or wad, i guess you shouldnt be.. really, don't miss out this film.
Then for our dream menu plan, we went to some ulu cafe at bugis.. and goodness... its some place thats got the right ambience, right furniture, right entertainment, right coffee....
im quite amazed by the cool antique coffee maker.. it has 2 separated containers.. 1 for coffee bean and 1 for plain water. den u set fire on the container with plain water, and it will condense along a tube and flow into the container of coffee bean.. the coffee will be brewed for almost a minute, and the coffee will be sucked back into the other container. there's a mini tap attached dere, and u juz open it to let the freshly-brewed coffee flow out. its really really cool la.. and i cant imagine it being used 2 centuries ago, by european royalties. ANd it costs a bomb for each of these coffee makers.. $1000+++ lA!
Then the best ting is, both of the waitresses who were tending the cafe, are actually jiaozhu's friends la.. the boss wasnt around.. THEN, we drank free coffee.. and hey! the 4 of us dere drank $87.20 worth of coffee! And if u tink we were cheating the boss of his money, u are also wrong!! We were actually re-brewing the coffee beans that the other customers left.. and the ting is, 2nd-round brewing tastes better than 1st-rounds.. so not only do we get to drink for free, our coffee also tastes much better.. WOW lor. If i were to drink those coffee at the expense of my wallet, i'll be so damn heartache la.. One of the flavours that we took, costs $30 for one small pot!!!!
So we ate there (yummy cheesecake and spaghetti that took esther&friend(the 2 waitresses) ages to prepare) , played cards there, enjoyed the music, the environment, the laziness, the ambience and all... ANd we paid $12 each, instead of the supposedly $38 each, IF we were to pay for the coffee from our wallets. Quite shuang rite. AIya, i bet no one will understand the feeling if u weren't dere... the sofas were nice.. and there's even beds to sit on upstairs.. hahaaz. And we just hope to go back there again soon...
Dream Menu Episode 3... A Success~ But one ting, the stupid jiaozhu didnt bring her camera la.. diaoZ.
