where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

I dropped by the V one last time before they close for renovations tomorrow to be re-branded as The Cookie Museum in the future, a whole new concept and style. And hence, The V Tea Room will be sorta laid to rest.

The V certainly holds many great memories, not only because it is a place I love to bring my close friends to chill (that includes Jon Yvonne Peijun Peiwen Jiaxin Vic Jess Hani Junhan Shujun), but also because of the awesome staff who has become great friends of mine too. Every trip to the Esplanade, for whatever reasons, would always be made better just by popping by and chatting with them and really entertaining each other with lame jokes and updating each other on our lives.

The photos (clockwise from bottom left):
:: Me, Dawn and Amy over the counter.
:: Me and Dawn, whom I truly have grown the closest with, is an amazing friend who is always superly helpful and an easy person to talk about almost anything under the sun. Her genuine sincerity makes her stand out from the rest and it always brings a smile to my face when we meet.
:: Amy busy behind the counter.
:: Amy and I. Amy is a little mei mei who always calls me uncle for no apparent reason, who has a bagful of lame jokes and is always smiling. Never fails to brighten up one's day. It is just crazy how she is always very optimistic and cheery despite the long hours that goes into her work.
:: The whole V Tea gang! (L-R): Rose the chief. Amy the cutesy. Me. Dawn the tallie. Christine the smiley.

There you go, the V tea gang, one last time.

p/s: oh i forgot to upload this photo but here it goes, showing how good their service is. Jon rang them up saying we were heading for dessert during my bday weekend. They collaborated with Jon and gave me a surprise bday celebration with a personalised cake and all. The surprise was midly embarrassing cos they all came up and sang the bday song quite literally into my face in front of the other patrons. Grr. And because I was such a regular patron, there were extra berries and ice cream. Whee! It was just schweet lah. And this is only but one of the many fond memories I had at The V.

I'd miss The V for sure.
