Melbourne Cup Today was Melbourne Cup day. Not a gambling person, nor a person into horses, nor into horse racing, I could never understand why an entire nation would stop for just a particular race.

On a day like this, I like to relax. Take in the scenery, a walk in the park and of course, a relaxing time in a cafe. Mind you, not just any cafe. Preferably, a quiet cafe. One that allows me to contemplate life. To watch the sun rise, or the sun set. To watch people milling around, but not to be a part of it. To watch life revolves around me, but not take part. There is never enough of such cafes.  ¶ 10:45 PM 0 comments

  The Krispy Kreme Craze I was at the airport this morning. As per my usual routine, I enjoy watching the behaviour of the people around me, especially the tourists. This time, I was shocked to see a guy with 6 boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts as a carry-on luggage! 6 boxes? What is he going to do with these? Souvenirs to friends and relatives? I was so tempted to approach the guy to ask what flavours of donuts he bought.

As I have yet to visit the donut store, I do not understand the madness surrounding it. What is so special about it to make people form a queue that rivals those at the TAB? Maybe when the craze has died down, or when the queue is less long, I will visit one to satisfy my curiosity.  ¶ 3:31 PM 0 comments
