Same o'thing .. woke up late .. but WK was early .. he headed down for breakfast alone .. Went some mall to shop but there's nothing to buy .. wanted to buy for my darling but .. scared that it's not suitable for her .. size .. pattern .. kinda hard to buy unless she's around .. wanted to buy a pair of shoe but .. not my kinda type =( Managed to reach convention on time .. Final Competition .. 6 baristas left .. All their work really impressed me .. Especially Sammy .. he did the latte art blind fold .. really really impress me .. Thank God, i managed to get a snap shot with him =p .. Results were out .. Sammy as the Champion .. as predicted .. 2nd place goes to a Japanese guy .. who is kinda cool .. good at art .. 3rd place goes to an Australian guy .. left the convention .. feel so thankful to WK and thanked him while walking to the mall to shop again .. Walk around .. went back to the hotel .. take our luggage .. take MRT for the last time to meet his friend after work .. Then drive back to JB.. it's like HELL .. jammed .. heard that everyday .. almost 30k motorbikes pass the Kastam from JB -> Singapore .. really can't believe it .. Reached JB .. drive all the way back to Cafe .. not really crowded .. meet the crews .. kinda miss them .. Hang out for a while .. craving to do the latte art as what i observed during the convention .. Went back home .. onlined for a while and zzZzZz

Woke up early .. to go to telephone shop with darling to pay telephone bills. Bought KFC for lunch .. sent her to work .. had tea time with my friends .. pick darling up .. back home and Work .. Not much customer and i did managed to try the latte art on a cappucino .. i think that the customer is impressed with the work .. 2 of his friend came later and saw the art .. they ordered the same thing .. but i didn't do it . =p kinda spoilt ..
