Singapore Coffee Shop

I have nothing left in my bank account, and yet i have nothing to lose i think. i take the opportunity to communicate with my uncle who lives in SG and ask for accommodation, planned my trip with lowest budget possible and go along some coffee shop in Singapore. Although i still need few bucks to survive everyday.

 First stop should be "The Lab" which most customers are Malay, and they're easygoing. This cafe just near Lavender stn.
 2nd stop-- "Symmetry" , a great environment for chatting with friends, probably love its food though.
 A.R.C. by John Ryan, a guy with great ambitious and huge passion in coffee. Providing great educations, roastery beans, and most directly great coffee provided. I tried the Canyon single origin and i was addicted to that small little cup, strong and "spicy" aromatic espresso with holy brightness made my day. 
 the "1+1" , Espresso + Cappuccino.
 A.R.C bar is a tidy neat view.
 They earned alot of rewards :D
 "Strangers Reunion", a coffee shop that contributes some of it's profit to help a stranger, in which suffer from cancer. 
 You can feel their slogan are made into action.

A great and feral barista making latte art naturally.
 9 layer ! great job barista!
 "Nylon coffee roaster" a great place to taste fresh and delicious coffee standing up.
 they have choices, and they're affordable and delicious, brewing method or espresso machine, your choice.
 you can smell the great fragrance from few miles away, this is the answer. Lovely Probat home sweet home.
 The environment is great and warm, their welcoming made you feel like known each others for years.

 "Populus", A quality cozy environment that providing quality environment,coffee&food, and service. Even their waiter needs to wear white shirt.
 Environment are inspiring and great for a relax afternoon tea with your love ones.
 "Department of Caffeine" Exterior design
 The service not really good though, but the environment quite crowded, their food and coffee are good so don't worry.

 "Oriole coffee+bar" , great environment and service, food is so attractive, a great place to drop by sometime when you're near "Orchard stn"

 try to get some coffee and food, and find out how great it is :)
 They have tasting bar, actually are connected with the whole bar.
 Elegant interior
 "Nespresso" even though not really a coffee shop, but in Singapore this is quite a popular brand/spot to hang out in the mall. 
 So many machines available and affordable, what inspired me alot is their innovation that provides easy-using machine to extract great coffee. (But i still prefer Espresso machine&filter brew)
 you can see their sugar, even the sugar are so attractive and classy.
 It's just like choosing your collection, collecting nespresso capsules is part of some people's hobby.
 "Chye Seng Huat Hardware", i always called it Papa Pahelta, and finally came to this place. Every barista is well-trained, and their environment is really antique.
 filter brew a great brightness coffee.




 their desserts are quite special and attractive.

 It's kind of their product development department.

Don't fool by the exterior of them, they sell coffee too. :D

used to......dream...

Today, i put down my stubborn and obsessed with starting up and put my guts back on and go to work in a coffee shop. putting down? I have planned for more than 2 years for these... People looking at me and said when? where?... Some others just laugh at me like i'm a baby child that haven't seen the world yet... yet... yet...

Yes, today is the first day, and i feel really connected to those who said they used to have dreams, and now facing realities. Reality is you work for RM6 per hour, and you don't have the choice to choose your time and payments, and you don't have holidays, weekend work is much more than usual, and you just need to keep you feet up everyday and smile...smile...to the employers...to colleagues...to the customers... even when you are not in the mood on smiling you still must smile...or... you won't able to stay here long. Sometimes, different perspective gives you more angle on the world you living in, more stories, more adventure, more inspirations. And by the way this is not my first work, it's kinda my 9th job and still did inspired me a lot.

After i read a blog of one of my best friend CheeJen, felt sad, sympathy, inspired and support. A light of imagination flash through my mind... a picture... of us...i mean us...who still crazy enough to believe who we dream of ...and reject how the society wanted us to be...we reunited... we build our passion together... and...... we SHINE ! ~

That's called Living in the dictionary of life. Thank you for my best friend Cheejen, you are not alone. You are the people who are more than a job, a paycheck, a property, a fame.......you are absolutely different!

To all my fellow crazy friends who still doing crazy things and love to make things happen, you all will change the world ! And i miss you guys now >.<
