Coffee Bubbles

Here's a snippet from a series of dialogues that somehow occurs between me and Jie whenever the topic of food and beverage arises (admittedly, its not word-for-word, but the gist and phrasal structures are the same):

Jie: I need coffee.
Me: There's nescafe in the kitchen.
Jie: Not that kind of coffee.
Me: What...
Jie: TCC has the best coffee, and we have the discount card.
Me:.....nescafe....kitchen......faster.....cheaper.......
Jie: Once in a while?

And then both adjourn to TCC.

So today something of that nature occured, and I had a mint frappe.

Top-down view is seldom nice, so close your eyes when you slurp!

(The green foilage is the mint leave, not a piece of the serviette.)

Somehow, I was more fascinated by the bubbles which formed at the top of the beverage, and kept their neat arrangement even as the quantity shrank.


And speaking of drinks, I somehow keep encountering beverages served up the same way as the tooth paste and cranberry ink mixtures. Remember, the average sized flimsy plastic container with grooves all around, and a concoction of water from God-knows-where + colouring.

Today's version was the same type of water + orange dye.
