Killiney Kopi
Finally got to taste Killiney Kopitiam kopi + toast :)
Service there was good and friendly, abit crowded but seats are still available with a steady flow of customers, a stark contrast to its neighbouring competitor: Daily Toast. Yes, both kopi shop are side by side; a common sight among many famous eating establishments, where there is always a competitor by your side to keep u on the heels.
Ok, back to the star of the day.
Kopi.
The kopi is thick brown until its stirred to milky brown, served in traditional kopi cup and saucer. The sweetness is just right, but somehow the kopi taste is covered by the condensed milk, so the oomph factor is decreased. Also, the kopi is only warm when served. Maybe next time shd try the kopi-O haha..
Score: 4/5
The bread is toasted just nice, soft yet able to enjoy the toasted aroma. In between the slices are generous amounts of kaya and butter slice, which oozes out from the edge as u sink your teeth in it. Definitely worth a try!
Score:4.5/5
The french toast is normal. Nothing much special about it, so no need to score it haha
Overall, if u have not tried them before, then its worth a try. But maybe not on a hot day, as its a traditional shophouse coffeshop setting. Having said that, its quite well ventilated though :)
Other than kopi, they also sell other items like mee siam, rebus..etc.. and deserts..
Its easy to locate them, just opp singtel comcentre at kiliney rd, 10mins from somerset mrt.
Btw, their take-away cups and carrier have nice designs...

Hmm.. seems like double shot espresso did not have much effect on keeping awake..
Anyway, today is enjoyable despite 2 continuous long....days.
Finally got my 1st merchandise from ION and Pull & Bear. Something new to my wardrobe :)
Have to thank my "consultant" for having sharp eyes to spot on....haha..
and also our luck to bump into the shop before leaving...
Shopping after a long day is fun and relaxing...
Hmm... next stop: Queensway?
Well, got to churn out some work 1st... not much time left for the final lap. This period seem too relaxing rolling in N gear (hehe too much of 海派甜心 and 下一站, 幸福)...
So, i have to calibrate to 4th gear now! Sit tight!

Art of graphing
Graphs are useful in many fields of work. We have seen alot of types.. sine curves, cosine, exponential..etc. But in each family of curves, there are many variations...like different amplitude, period, gradient..etc
Take for example graph A & B below. Both are sine curves, but A has lower amplitude than B, while B has shorter period than A. The only thing in common is the average value of both graph. If u would to choose, which would u prefer? Well, it depends on how we view them.
More than just from the mathematical view, graphs can also represent our life. From this viewpoint, if we take the average value as a benchmark of our life, then both case A & B would deliver equal value. However, A experience a less drastic change compared to B. So, the trauma A experiences is less than B. Having said that, both A & B are not desirable lifestyles curves, as the average value does not change over time.
Ideally, the curve below should represent a near perfect life, as the mean value is constantly increasing. But of course, that's not quite possible in reality as people are bound to face ups and downs, be it a slight bump or a steep nosedive. So, most importantly, we should take control and revert back to the normal path.
Like the saying goes: "经一事,长一智". We get stronger after experiencing it. But, we cant remain at one point, else there is no improvement. We'll have to refuel to continue the journey. This time, refuel with a better grade fuel, upgrade the engine, and ensure the maintainance in the tip-top condition before moving off. Hopefully, my curve would look like this....
Now, its ur turn to chart yours.... :)
Btw.. today is another enriching day :)
