NOPE, DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING

Had a couple big shocks yesterday. For someone whose days are all normally chill, that's really eventful. First, there was a blast on the side of my desk. I was typing up a quote (a rate quotation; not exactly the kind of quote I wish I were writing, hehe!), when there was a loud BOOM and I saw sparks flying on my periphery. Turns out the adapter I was using to charge my phone shorted or fused or I don't really know what the correct technical term is, but yeah, it exploded.

I'm thinking that maybe it's my karma for not finding ways to return it to its proper owner. I shifted cubicles this year and my ex-colleague left her hot pink adapter plugged in. Needless to say, I've been using it since. (In the odd chance that you're reading this, I'm sorry, Sonya!!) I was under the impression that my phone charges faster when plugged directly rather than on to the computer, so yeah, it was convenient. Well, it had been, until it went out with a bang, but anyway. Lesson learned, I will not use other people's things without their knowledge. And oh, speaking of lessons, how to clean char marks? Toothpaste. Thank you, Google.

After work, Luke and I went to Changi Village to check out Chock Full of Beans. They offer 3D latte art and me being me, I wanted to try it because it looked sooo cute. Guys, they should rename themselves to Shiokfull of Beans. Their coffee was AMAZING. I thought since the drink already looked cute, they wouldn't bother with the actual coffee (OMG, stop stereotyping, Reg!!!), but I was soooo wrong!!! I got the Hazelnut Latte and it was PERFECT.

So perfect that I was wide awake til 4 in the morning. Hahaha! But seriously, it was one of the best coffees I've ever had and I'm pretty sure I'd feel the same even without the latte art. They use a La Marzocco espresso machine, a brand I was familiar with because the book I've finished reading the night before, Cupcake, had the protagonist practically worshiping it. What are the odds that I'll see it the next day, noh!?

The food was okay. I enjoyed my Cubano and the parma ham in the platter. Pasta was underseasoned. Like I said, food was okay. I would go back in a heartbeat for the Hazelnut Latte, though. 

Not bad for a Thursday, noh?

So yay! It's FRIDAY! Weekend's coming up! That, I saw coming. I've been eyeing it since Monday, haha! Congrats to us for surviving another week.
