The Coffee Place Dream ...

Someday I want to own My Own Coffee Place. A little like this lovely coffee house in Cambridge...

Pic from Lavieboston

It will be called something thick and not necessarily original, like Coffee Girl Hut or Coffee Girl's Loft ... I haven't figured this part yet, but moving on ...

Living up to the blog name (assuming by then I'm quite the IT blogger, ehem) the theme will be coffee and blogging... and mostly cocoa-ish when it comes to colour. I haven't quite figured this part yet either, but moving on ...

I will personally man it with one or two other paid workers, preferably family members or business partners ...

We will wear this cute ensembles ...

with cute buttons. (got the ideas from the movie 'Caffeine')...

The layout designs will give off a feeling of comfort, freedom, leisure, privacy, and a place where you will want to spill out secrets. Or create new memories.

The main attraction will of course be Coffee, of any blend, any brew, any way you want it. Black, creamed, hot, cold, ice blended, thawed, layered, flavored, smooth, rocky. You name it, I will serve it. But give me some credit... I won't serve weak coffee. It will even have a free DIY coffee-brew counter and refill, for members only.

No other drinks will be available.

Aside from that, we will be serving your favorite scones, cupcakes, sinful cakes, and sugary biscuits to accompany your cuppa... and the occasional biscoti for the twist-lick-and-dunk fans.

I would bake my own pies and fix my own sandwiches... assuming by then I have already mastered the art of baking and less of freaking out.

While the rest of the goodies will be supplied on a daily basis by the Boy-Next-Door Confectionery Shop. (Must have babes in this dreams ok ... preferably with bad-boy looks and charms to match)...

Meet the Fabulous Baker Brothers... (Google pix)

Every other day of the week, we will serve a special lunch for the loyals and the fans. Most likely a fusion frenzy of spaghetti or local like laksa sarawak or nasi lemak special or mi jawa.

While you meet with friends, or enjoy your quiet coffee moments, or just here to escape, we will entertain you with Country musics from the legends and the new breeds, and sometimes an occasional slow acoustic rock.

On weekends, Miss Yours Truly will take to the tiny corner stage and pick up her guitar and do her rendition of Country latest for the good of the people.


We will open for business from 7am - 11pm Mondays to Saturdays.

This dream is accurate as of publishing date. As for it coming true, well, if wishes were horses, then beggars would fly. Oh we will... we will...

How's the dream so far, baby? Zzzzzz.........

Reviewing Prometheus...

I was disappointed with ...

 
Google pix

Sorely.

But then, that's my one-sentence review anyway, and I'm being purely biased because science-fiction thriller or anything to do with the outerspace (with the exception of AVATAR) has never really been my thing.

Want a review?  Go watch it yourself. Be prepared to be counter-biased because you might like it. If you get it, that is. I tried hard to, but somehow I got derailed between the sleek ugly creatures of the unknown that kind of were in the wrong setting and the man-like god-like being with no apparent objective other than to destroy earth. But then again ... the whole motive of the movie was unclear.

I only liked the ship. And the fact that I didn't fall asleep throughout the movie.

Maybe I should just stick with my romcom and adventure movies.

P/s: Busy... busy... busy... SEMPAT BLOGGING OI...
