Being the coffee lover I am, I can’t resist
a coffee temptations especially if offers good gourmet coffee for a good price.
I’m not saying just because I love
coffee I will only drink all the fancy and branded coffees. I love trying any
coffee really, even Mamak’s coffee also I don’t mind. As long as I’m feeling good
and satisfied.
So what is my January favourite beverage?
Any coffee from PRONTO. If you have been
following my blog, you may have notice I’ve visited Pronto quite often last
month. Even though I complained about their cup size, I suddenly find myself
not bothered by it. Honestly I’ve been too willing to get a good cuppa coffee
from them anytime. It’s because of the friendly and helpful barista.
Seriously people, there is a reason why
people who work with customers’ needs to learn how to be polite and friendly. Because believe it
or not, it’s a very big turn off for customers to want to buy something for you
when you keep giving them the cold shoulder all the time. This goes for the
lady at the GJS (Bangsar South), gosh lady learn how to smile and be patient.
Because of you, a lot of times people tend to not want to get anything whenever
you are at the counter!!!
Collecting
coffee go-cups and splash sticks
I know, most of my likings are mostly or
somewhat closely related to coffee. Hence my blog name.
So when I say go-cups, I’m actually referring
to paper cups. Not the personal stainless steel go cups. Ok, I know this is going
to sound weird beyond anything. But I honestly adore cute coffee go-cups. Even
if it’s not fancy looking, I’ll still keep it.
It’s like this. If I drank a coffee and I enjoyed
every sip of it. I will keep the paper go cup. It’s like some sort of a souvenir
to remind myself of the good times. Is that weird? I even collect the splash
sticks. You know those plastic coffee stirrers that is plugged into the hole of
a go cup lids. Those are so cute, you can recycle them into a bookmark J
Also am I the only one always staring at coffee
mugs at a big grocery stores? Like actually stand there and admire the coffee cups
designs and shapes.
Um
no? Just me? Ok ok ………MOVING ON !!
Death
in Paradise
If you don’t know what show this is, you sir,
are LAME! (Talking to you my Maine snowman). Like seriously, I adore this show
so much. I love a good detective show anytime especially if it has Sherlock
Holmes theme to it. I actually discovered this show by accident. The thing is, I’ve
always prefer watching British show rather than American, and since the latter
is more widely advertised, I have to google for British shows. So one day I was
just browsing through the internet, and walla !!!!
If you like Ben Miller, then you will enjoy
this show. I loved it from the first episode itself. Season 3 was already aired
starting January, but I was late on catching up. Didn’t bother to read any updates for this
season, and decided to just go ahead and watch the first episode, last night.
And boy was I in for a shock!!!
******Spoiler ALERT******
Detective
Inspector Richard Poole (Ben Miller) dies in the first
episode of season 3! I was like NOOOOOOOOOOO it can’t be, no way!! I was half
expecting him to jump up and say “ah hah, I knew it was you!! Murderer!” But he
didn't, he stayed dead and a new Detective Humphrey Goodman (Kris
Marshall) came to replace him. I was disappointed
that Ben will not be in the show. Mostly because the show started with him, I mean
he was the MAIN character.
But as I watched Kris, I thought he played the detective rather well. I
mean Humphrey is everything Richard is not. He is a complete opposite to him.
And I liked it. Very refreshing actually.
First time I've watched Kris on screen, he played a young horny English guy
who travels to America to get chics (Love Actually). In that movie, I thought
he was rather annoying and he does have the “ugly duckling” look. He also had
the “forever-extra-characters-in-movies” stamped on his forehead (yes I know I sound
harsh). But the older version of him in this show suits the eccentric DI just
fine. I was impressed, I mean he still have that dorky look, but really it
works for him. I actually find him amusing.
You know how it is, about main characters being replaced, it puts a
damped on the show, and viewers such as myself sometimes accept this sudden
changes and sometimes we don’t.
If you have watched Misfits (also a Brit show) the first and second
season that is, I was so hooked. But in season 3 everything changed, all the 5
main characters got replaced, some didn't even turn up in the show. I was severely
disappointed with the new cast. I didn't bother to continue after the second
episode. I think that show will eventually fail. I hope DIP will stay on,
because despite killing off DI Richard, the whole theme and plotting style has
not, it still have that “umph” that I've always liked in the show. For that sake, I really hope DIP will continue
on for another 4 more seasons.
