Oh, maybe because I missed Day #13 and so there’s some extra voodoo bad luck today. Its like Murphy decided to throw me a “Draw Two” at the Uno Game of Luck.
Well, to start it off, the day has been unsympathetically hot. Scorching if you may. Next, I’m meeting Nicky for lunch and the food turned out so bad I ate close to nothing. Third, I’m meeting Su for tea at Ann Siang which is generally a shelter-less place. (Yet, I shall be thankful I got a bit of a tan). She was an hour and a half late (Yay, more tanning!). The magnum opus of Bad Luck for today got to be when I whipped out my camera to take a pic of the coffee and tiramisu we’re going to have for tea and the display showed “No Memory Card”.
Well, FML indeed.
Shots Cafe @ Ann Siang Hill
Anyway, Shots Cafe is a cosy cafe along Ann Siang Hill. With its facade painted red, one could hardly miss it. The interior deco of the place is really nice. With the gorgeous photos hung around the place, its like chilling out in the middle of a photography exhibition. I ordered a Cold Cafe Latte which tasted rather average. A tad watered down actually. The Tiramisu fared no better because all I could taste was immense sweetness. Su ordered their ‘Awfully Carrot Cake’. I didn’t give it a try, but from the looks on her face, the naming of the dessert is probably apt. The sandwiches the girls at the next table ordered looked pretty good though.
Was abit skeptical when a friend of mine asked me to watch “The Cove” when I was planning to watch “Coco before Chanel”. “Er okay?” was my response that night.
Nonetheless, Nick & I made a trip down to Vivo and to watch “The Cove”. Like after watching a Docu-Movie, we emerged from the theater with a heavy heart. I applaud the people behind the movie for going to such great risks to uncover the truth. With a little effort from each, we could make a difference.
Watch the movie. Read about it here.

Whoever would expect, a beautiful, picturesque place like Taiji, Japan would be the place of secret dolphin massacre? More than 23,000 dolphins, porpoise and small whales are killed annually there. I’m sure somewhere besides Taiji, this is happening too. We’re just too ignorant.

I believe Sundays are the most competitive days of the week.
For it not only rained heavier this Sunday, it rained much longer. I could hear the rain bitch-slapping my window panes even before I opened my eyes.
As the rain did not let up, I had to shelf my plans of going shutter crazy along the Singapore River path.
Ended up at Central, a very sleepy mall with a lack of crowd, and most of the tenants idling away. I do note that Central does seem to retail products for EXORBITANT prices! Take for eg, I bought my Sunjar at $32, and Decohub (I think thats the name) retails it at $59.90.
And is it just me? Or is Hokkaido Icecream supposed to be in a semi-liquid state?
Lack of sunshine, lack of entertainment. *bah* I am forced to seek comfort in the nearby Songfa Bak Ku Teh store. But even this disappointed.
Bak Ku Teh @ Songfa
Interesting array of items on the menu. But Songfa falls short of the hype by serving mediocre food quality. I’ve had better bak ku teh. I have a bowl of lukewarm soup, soggy dough fritters and dry small intestines (which made me wonder. WHY did i even order this?)
My Sunday however was redeemed by great company, getting my hands on Lipstick Jungle and True Blood, and an enjoyable Yoga practice session before I dozed off.
