As it appears, they have acquired their own specialist donut franchise by the name of J.Co Coffee & Donuts. Coffee and donuts. I seem to remember using that phrase multiple times on one occasion some years ago.
Why it took me so long to discover this(the acquiring was done last year, December 17th), is probably very likely due to the fact that I hardly ever walk around that part of the city. Usually I just head straight for the Esplanade library or go hang out at Cathay or Borders.
So today, having had to go buy flowers for our Rachel, we had to walk... Somewhere. Somewhere that I can't even remember the name of. It wasn't an obscure place or anything, it's just that I don't think I've been there in the past couple of years. Anyway, as we set foot on the floor, off the inclined conveyor belt, I mean, escalator, I detected a lovely fragrance...
Detected would actually have been an understatement. More appropriately, I was hit right in the face by this sweet, delicious aroma of... You guessed it: Donuts. Naturally, I was inclined to believe that donuts still existed at Breadtalk(which was prominently displaying itself over to the right), so Hongjie and I abandoned the rest of them in search of donuts. After which, the helpful NPC at Breadtalk kindly informed us that donuts were now available at J.Co. Brilliant.
The queue was rather long, so we passed on donuts, deciding to come back after the concert. And so we did. And we decided to buy a good dozen. If I recall correctly... Three mint chocolate donuts, two chocolates, a double chocolate, a couple of tiramisus, two oreo thingies, and two chocolate donuts with coffee cream inside. We didn't bother with the sugar donuts. I didn't suggest them because like all other donut specialists, they used powdered sugar rather than granular sugar.
Curses.
But oh well. I guess I'll just have to accept that there will not be any more granular sugar donuts, ever. Even so, I think I'll have to simply forget about that. Because the other donuts are just awesome. Especially mint chocolate. And double chocolate. And chocolate. Chocolate....Mmm...
So I ate donuts for dinner. And I think I forgot to pay for my share. Whoops. Next time, guys, next time.
I think I've grown an addiction to chocolate. I'll be buying Milky Bars next.
The NJC choir concert itself... Well, let's just say that I'm sure it would have taken up the majority of this post if it weren't for those lovely ringed distractions.
The only other choir performance I've ever been to was one by Montfort Chorale. And there's just something about an only tenor & base choir that just doesn't cut it(sorry, guys). However, a full choir, made possible by girls not having too much of that cursed chemical, testosterone, produces a wide range of effects and harmonies which really do make a lot of difference. All in all, a nice performance. I enjoyed it. Voices are the other beautiful part of music that I have not explored much, having only played in instrumental... Organisations. I think I'm looking forward to AJ's chorale... Hopefully I'll be able to afford it by then.
