Okay remember I told you guys that I was going for Coffee Tasting @ Starbucks Precinct 88, well, first of all, I had tons of fun getting to know "The Gang" and it was also great fun being able to attend my first ever coffee tasting event..with the rest of the bloggers. Thanks to Timothy for inviting me. I had fun :)
Starbucks, Precinct 88 was really nice. It reminded me of the one in Kota Kinabalu :) erm erm the one at Warisan Square (I think - If I'm not mistaken) I liked the design as usual and it was quite cosy ^___^v
Anyway, I also had invited Sharon along with me. as I was kinda shy going for the event as well as I was to meet the Gang [ Anna, Rose, Eve, Johnston, Frankie, Paul, Mike, Gary and the rest!) for the first time. When I got there, I met up with Sharon and we proceeded to the top part of Starbucks.
The different types of coffee we were gonna try.
First time with
Sharon :)))
Meet the Three
Stooges Coffee Masters in Kuching
[from L to R:
Khairul (The Spring),

and last but not least
Ezam (Airport Outlet)]
Four Steps of Coffee Tasting.1.
Smell (smells really awesome!)
2.
Slurp (eeeeewwwwww - bitter! -___-")
3.
Locate the Experience (on the different sides of your tongue)
4.
Create a coffee description-besides being bitter lah
(sweet, tangy, nutty, fruity/citrus-y, floral)
Describing Coffee.
1. AROMA(exp:coffee)- earthy spicy floral nutty
2. ACIDITY(exp:orange) - different coffee different acidity.
3. BODY (exp:milk)- Light , Medium, Full.
4. FLAVOUR - citrus, cocoa, berries.
Marble Cheese Cake & Caramel Nut Cinnamon Roll.
Blackforest Cake ^___^v
The Coffee We Tried.Latin America ( Columbia Coffee)- which has a medium body, and a nutty smell
[to be eaten with the caramel nut cinnamon roll]
Africa/ Arabia (Kenya Coffee)- which has a bold body, and a floral smell to it
[to be eaten with the blackforest cake]
Asia/ Pasific ( Sumatra Coffee)- which has an extra bold body, and an earthy mellow tone.
[to be eaten with choices like marble cheese cake]
Khairul giving out the goody bags! Haha ^____^v
[although I was expecting more..but am thankful]
the goodies.
100grams of sumatra coffee beans,
and a buy 1 free 1 voucher :)))
[p/s: coffee beans should always be grind just before making coffee out of them. the water temperature should be "off-the-boil" den your coffee would taste extra great! ^___^v]...and I learnt alot! but I don't think I'll work as a barista. I mean to have to do coffee tasting 3 times a day!! If you LOVE coffee to the MAX den maybe you should but if not..better not. I'd rather have mine served ----> Mocha Frappucino w Extra Extra Whipping Cream! *slurps tongue!* I had fun!! :)))
xoxo

+ + long time no update huh.
I have been busy, and lazy. I have been meaning to blog but I just don't know where to get started. and I cannot believe how fast time flies. Okay yes, I know time flies but not this fast!
actually there's this one thing about me. I want to blog about the things I've done so far but I don't have a camera to at least snap and share like all bloggers usually do. thats why blogging has become kinda boring. haha. well not boring for me but boring for you all out there who will be reading -____-"
anyways.
This past week has been a good one starting out with last weekend. Let's do this in point form and when I get the pictures. I'll update and post it out one by one, alright :)
Denise back for a short term weekend holiday ^___^v
Last Friday-Sunday (20th March - 22nd March 2009)
- Went to have seafood@Pending area the night she arrived - wanted to go Topspot but why go some place you pay double or triple for when you get better food at the cheaper spot? right?
- Went to have sushi@Sushi King the 2nd day - amazingly we filled ourselves up as we were really hungry. dunno why especially Elif! (say wanna diet konon. but he did loose alot of weight due to alot of exercise and jogging! I want also!)
- Went to get drunk @ Barzing - had drinks all round as Elif had a bottle of Whisky left :) and on Denise's treat, all of us had a round of tequilla shot and 2 rounds of Flaming Lambo.
- Went to send Denise off on Sunday afternoon and had ice cream from the Mac's ice cream booth@the airport - it didn't feel as though she was going again cos I'm going over so soon! haha. can hangout whenever we want without having to fly here and there! :D
Monday ( 23rd March 2009)
- I had just met Timothy and gotten to know him roughly through Plurk, when suddenly the both of us had agreed to have a photoshoot for baby! :D
(these are a few photos taken from Timothy's blog,
will post up the rest when I finally get them)
- So I therefore had a nice,
quiet busy afternoon with the little one, myself, my sister and Timothy himself! snapping away! haha. It was a fruitful one and the comments were never shy of her being cute & adorable, as well as him being able to get so many different expressions of her at different angles. - Thanks Tim! and enjoy your trip to KL ^____^v
Anyways thats about my week..the rest of the week was just spent lazying doing house chores ( I miss working at Padini! I miss the whole bunch there! and lunching with them! -____-"), looking after baby (as Mum's in KL for the whole week), and mushroom-ing around the couch and not to forget online-ing a whole lot.
Oh and I'm confirmed to leave soon, by early the middle of April. Tickets have been booked already by the agent and OMG. I still have not yet to make my passport! and another thing, I'm sure to miss baby when I'm gone. sighs. I guess you can't want and have everything in life huh.
Well I gotta go shower now. Will be going for to the Starbucks Coffee Series @ Precinct 88, the newly opened Starbucks branch ^____^v thanks to Tim for the invite! also invited Sharon to come along. den I'll at least someone familiar with me when mixing with the rest! :) anyways gotta go dy! Till the next update!

Toffee Nut Frappucino.
I am
so not anti-social
but I am currently hanging out at
Starbucksall on my own. Thought I'd just chill for a bit
before heading on home and continue carrying out
my motherly duties to the little one :)
hey, sometimes a mother's gotta have a break ok!
am trying their
Toffee Nut Frappucino.not bad actually :) also helped myself to a
Chocolate Donut ^^V just a small amount of pampering
won't hurt..right? haha. But I'm enjoying myself.
It's been a while since I've got time to just
chill.without stress in sight!
since
Mum in in
KL at this moment for her
business meeting9on behalf of me as well) I'm kinda in awe with myself.
I mean, am not boasting or whatever
but I'm proud of myself that I can handle things at home
with
the little one without my mum's help!
It's not that my mum has been doing everything (
I do things myself ok!)
but usually I need some help..so yeah you get what I mean
-_____-"oh, btw..I just realised that
the little one is so fun to camwhore with.
she makes the most adorable faces, like EVER! ^^V
hahaha. will update again when I get home.
