The Flavour of Life

If life can be interpreted into different flavours, how would it taste like?

As for myself, that would be the same question that I would probably be spending my entire life searching for a perfect answer to it, but till today, I think that life would be similar to a cup of tea. It can be either sweet or bitter or even tasteless. On top of the taste, the smell coming out of a cup of tea can either be a strong aroma or a strong refreshing fragrance or even odourless. With the number of types of Tea Leaves in this world, tea tasting can be a never ending journey that one can take.

Today I am going to introduce a Chinese Tea House that I am a regular. Introducing ...

Tea Chapter I was working at this place a few years back. When I was working at Tea Chapter, everyday was a completely different experience. You get to meet different groups of people everyday. On top of that, the atmosphere of the place was both quiet and relaxing. It wasn't an easy task looking for places like this in the busy part of Singapore.

	Have a break, Let's have some Tea... :P
Besides for the huge variety of Chinese Tea that you can try, you can also go for the snacks like fragrance cookies, Tea Eggs, simple Dim Sum... etc.

The following would be the type of seats that you can get in Tea Chapter.

Japanese Style You will be crossing your legs for a very period of time. But no extra charges if you decided to choose this kind of seats.

Korean Style
Very limited seats, but you can put your legs into the hole underneath
the table. There are additional charges for these seats, but this isn't
something that you can experience everyday.

	Chinese Style Something that you can get in at traditional Chinese restaurant. Oh by the way, Queen Elizabeth II had paid a visit to Tea Chapter in 1989. The picture on the left was taken during her visit to Tea Chapter.

	Some photos taken in Tea Chapter

	Besides for the Chinese Tea House that was located on the 2nd and 3rd floor, they also have a retail shop selling all sorts of Chinese Tea Accessories and Chinese Tea Leaves.

Do pop by Tea Chapter if you want to get away from the busy Singaporean lifestyle.

A horrible/terrible Greek Movie

I had seen numerous movies based on Greek Myth in the past. But the recent one was simply too disappointing. Besides for the ugly plot that the movie has, the effects of the film were pretty dull too. I hope that movie makers should realise that these Greek-based movies doesn't need super fantastic effects. What they really need would be a good story. Seriously thinking, I don't mind watching another adaptation of a Greek Myth like 'Jason and the Argonauts' or 'Hercules'. In fact, this reminds me of the days watching 'Hercules: The Legendary Journeys' on TV like 10 years ago. :D

Will you be the Apple of my Eye?

Probably this is one of the most low budget mandarin film over the past few years. The story of the movie mostly revolve around the high school life of a group of teenagers. Although the plot of the movie was pretty simple, but part of the movie was pretty hilarious. So if you don't have any difficulty in understanding Mandarin, I would highly recommend you to give this movie a go and enjoy laughing. :D
