The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Beanstro

ABBEY: I came from office and I was so hungry. As we wait for the opening of the musical we dined at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Beanstro in Marina Bay Shoppes. People flocked at the place but it only took a couple of minutes to have a seat. I got their recommended Beanstro breakfast platter from the All-day breakfast menu and costs no more than 15sgd. All the components of the platter complement well with each other; grilled tomato, sausage, bread and ample serving of scrambled egg. The meal satisfied my hunger. I hope they can serve the meals faster as well as the bill.






WILL: Before going to my most awaited play, Wicked, we went here for some early dinner. This is located just beside the ocular's eye. They have this like an al fresco dining. And on that side you can enjoy the site of some splashing water and the people riding the sampan.
      There is always a queue, a long queue and very lucky of us we are number is just number 3. So 15-20 mins were the approximated time for us to be have a place to dine in.
      Their Breakfast-All-Day is a great idea! We really love this!

Bak Kwa

ABBEY:
I tasted the BBQ meat during my first year in Singapore. It was given to me by Ate Loide. It tasted great though the one I got is spicy.

Wilma's employer gave a half kilo of bak kwa to all the staff for Chinese New Year celebration. This time it is sweet.
Cooking is easy; fry or use microwave, cut into smaller pieces then serve on top of rice.



WILL: 
Thanks Boss! Its Chinese new year and all goodies and red packets were all over. Hehe.

      Bak kwa is in Chinese tradition. Every year they gave their close people this meat to linger on. This is Singapore's staple food every Chinese new year!
      So, thank you Boss for the Bak kwa, so goood! Huat Ah!

Frozen Planet

ABBEY:
This BBC documentary is an eye-opener for the people to appreciate nature's beauty of both pole regions.

It tackles the seasons and how the animals and people adapt to it.
Every animal, like whales, penguins, seals, and birds showed different ways to live and how to survive. Polar bears, winter wolves, and oxen were featured as well. 

It also shows the effect of global warming on the continents and its a very serious matter. We need to do our part to save our last frontier.

At the end of each episode the documentary show the scenes behind the camera.

Its a big challenge for the crew and staff to wait for the perfect moment to catch the action in temperature and weather that can put them to death instantly.

A big salutations for them. David Attenborough gave a good story as he does the narration.



WILL: I am so foolish that I all I know at the north and south pole were covered by ice all year round. Damn! Tangang-tanga lang ako. Wahaha. 
      I think all creatures here were all so cute, even the wolves and the prawns and jellyfish. 
Very alarming to know that the ice now at Antarctic and Arctic ate now melting so fast. Fast enough that the scientist assumes that we can see a mass of land instead of snow here in 2020. Shocks that's only eight years from now. 
     I think now there is no prevention for this problem. This two continents holds a lot of resources that's why there many countries wants to have this to be their own. 
     I don't know but i big part of me loves nature and to come this to my knowledge saddens me. Thanks BBC for this kind of exposition and exploration. I hope we can lessen the greenhouse effect and live a happier, greener life.
