Highlight of the day!
Friends have commented that I am a very pessimistic person. Heck... I myself admit that I am a pessimistic person. I have a tendency to look on the bad side of things. Cos I reason that, hey, that's the worst that can happen. So I prepare myself for it. If things dun turn out that bad, then it's a sort of "added" bonus and then I go celebrate.
The cliched question : is the glass empty or half full? Optimistic people will view it as half full. I view it as half empty. Cos the worst that I am thinking: that's all the water that I have. It's time to ration it. If I survive, woah that's a good thing! Ha ha.. ok ok.. i hear people murmuring: cynic
So, in a bid to be not so pessimistic, I decided to think positive. So i shall endeavour to think of at least one highlight of the day. I guess this will make me appreciate the smaller things in life better and not take things for granted.
So here goes, the Highlight of today was....
The reopening of Golden Shoe Market!! Yeah! Hello to (still relatively) cheap food once again! Prices have gone up from 50 cents to 80 cents depending on which store you go to, but in return, you get more spacious seating and a cleaner environment (I guess that eliminates or at least reduces the occurance of finding fried mouse in your economical rice. I am not joking, it happened a few years back).
But more importantly, the opening of Golden Shoe Market signals the return of my beloved coffee! Ever since Golden Shoe Market closed, I had to go cold turkey for more than 6 months and settle for other kinds of coffee. Located on the 2nd floor, you will see it once u go up the stairs nearest to OUB plaza. Called AH POH COFFEE, they serve the best coffee! The best Kopi Tiam coffee I have ever tasted! Screw Starbucks, Coffee Bean, TCC, Spinelli, etc etc. Just give me Ah Poh coffee anyday. Ha ha.. bliss for only S$0.70 (no increase in price!). Woo Hoo!
And how does bliss taste like? Not too thick nor too thin, just the right sweetness and creaminess, with a hint of chocolate. It's that good till people queue for it (I have heard other people joking that the uncle puts opium in it to make people keep coming). And with the reopening, the stall holders have become more enterprising. They now offer ice coffee in bubble tea packaging! Such convenience!
So if you are willing to bear with the queue, the coffee is well worth the wait! Guaranteed!
Hmm... why does my highlight of the day sound like a foodie review???
