a rekindled love

#1 my taste for starbucks



i have since rekindled my penchant for Starbucks recently.

i have never been a fan of coffee so i seldom drop by coffee joints. The genesis of my now-biweekly encounters with Starbucks dated back to when i was working in DBS 4 years ago. You'd be amazed at the number of outlets they have within the vicinity; there can be 3 just barely 2 streets apart. 'Da Jie (loosely translated as elder sister), are you free now? Can help us buy or not' was how my ex colleague, D, used to make fun of me when he felt like having afternoon tea. My superior would advocate Green Tea Frap and that was how i got to know these coffee joints serve pretty awesome drinks. And because there was an outlet right at the bottom floor (DBS tower 2 at shenton way), i acquired a taste for their drinks. when work at DBS stopped, i naturally stopped patronizing them and forgot the goodness of their taste.

Of late, hanging out with friends who simply adore Starbucks, drinking religiously every other day when we were in HK, and out of my support for the newest outlet that just spruced out of NUS grounds; my taste bud has once again been aroused by the delightful flavours of their drinks. Starbucks is the new hangout place once again where we sit and sip our drinks, watching the world go by, on lazy sunday evenings.
