Le Kopi

I like to chill out at coffeeshop with friends. Chatting cup after cup or glass after glass of drinks in Sg bascially is call La Kopi. I used to hang out at Bishan's S11 and a prata house with DR and friends for hours chatting over glasses of ice milo, ice teh, barley, teh o and blah blah blah. During World cup 2002, I and lifelong friends La Kopi everyday until it ended. Now I still La Kopi but not at Bishan, but somewhere else. The company is no longer DR and friends, but HM and lifelong friends and friends (althoug WC was over for donkey years). I realised that a nice way to end a weekend is La Kopi, not tiring and not expensive, just maybe $1 for a good glass of ice teh. But smokers maybe have to spend away half pack of ciggies (not my problem).

Then i thought of a perfect name for my "wishful thinking" cafe, "Le Kopi". I think(maybe not to all or just me) a little artsy fartsy because of the "Le" and very heartland because of "Kopi" The "Le" sounds like "La" so can be like "La/Le Kopi". Cool. Right? I'll have a cafe with contempory design but selling nice thick cup of traditional Kopi O with charcoal toasted Hainanese bread with thick slice of Cold Storage butter and Fragrant home made Nonya Kaya. And of course, an soft boiled egg if cholesterol is not a problem. Heaven...... I will sell those ice-blend also lah... like Ice Mocha, Chocolate Frappe, Latte, and blah blah blah. Snacks like Biscotti, Cheesecake but i definately emphasize on my Hainanese bread. i'm not going to do my toast like Ah Kun or Mongkok. Mine will be crispy at the outside, soft in the inside. The butter will melt as you bite into the toast then slowly blend with the kaya. Wah.... Nice. right? i damn retro sia. I remember when i was young, my dad will share his Kopi with me by pouring some on the saucer and i'll drink from the saucer. My dad said the kopi will cool faster this way, esp young "chewren" afriad of hot.

OK! Set! My cafe will call "Le Kopi" Later i'll built up my cafe in my dream.

Do I need to copyright my cafe name first before anyone took it?

Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels)

… and if all the snow buries my, my neighbourhood
If my parents are crying then I’ll dig a tunnel from my windows to yours
Yeah from my windows to yours
You climb out of the chimney and meet me in the middle, the middle of the town. And SINCE there’s no one else around, we let our hair grow long and forget what we use to know---and our skin get thicker from living out in the snow. YOU CHANGE ALL THE LEAD IN MY HEAD, AND THE DAY GROWS DIM I HEAR SING A GOLDEN HYM, THEN WE TRY TO NAME OUR BABIES BUT WE FORGOT ALLTHE NAMES THAT—the names we use to know. But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms, our parent’s bedroom and the bedrooms of our friends. WELL WHAT HAPPENed TO THEM?!
You change all the lead in my head to gold as THE DAY GROWS DIM I HEAR SING A GOLDEN HYM, the song I been trying to say. Purify the colors, purify my mind Purify the colors, purify my mind and spread the colors of ashes over this heart of mine.

LMF Shits

Been listening to Lazy Muthafucka (LMF), pioneer Hip Hop group in HK. Damn fucking good I must say. For the past 5 days been listening to them on my way home and work(as long as i'm alone and travelling i'm always listening to music). Lotsa swearings, screaming, angst, rhythm, groove, passion and no idea what the fuck they are rapping about(language:Cantonese). To me, they were much more "constructive" than 50cts, Linkin Park, Eminen blah blah blah blah. Manage to figure out they were trying to convey and Voila. Songs about society decaying, Bruce Lee, anti-conforming, freedom, Hip Hop.... and of cos last and not least RESPECT *hammer your chest with your fist* Love the song"Fucking Wonderland", rhythmic, catchy then again no idea what were they rapping and also "the Realazy Mofo, Fei(fly in cantonese) and many many. LMF Shits is the complilation of the best so i love them all. Very sad to say that they are temporary disband so no idea whether they will regroup again. Quite a pity that they are pursuing their own future.

I realised that my favourite bands are all separated, eg. Mansun, Suede, Blur, LMF... This remind me of a old classmate of mine from HK. She said she likes Beyond from the day that Huang Jiajun passed away. Wierd, right? Wonder whether she really appreciate Beyond's music. I think Beyond's music improved alot since Huang Jiajun was gone. More versatile and new genre of music. That's excellent right? But Beyond has disband too. Hai.... Sad....
