Chinese New Year 2017

When everyone uncharacteristically stays indoors, leaving the streets wonderfully peaceful and strangely empty.

Christmas 2013

La Marelle

Sweet Times.

Espresso Revamped

 

It’s been a while since I dropped by. Was surprised to see that the white walls with friendly-looking vines were gone. In place was a cement-coloured wall, bare and somewhat more distant. More “cool”, but distant.

Change is constant, after all.

Bravery Cafe

 

A shop without a sign,

A door without any handle.

Furniture without fuss,

And seats without frills.

But the whimsical fairy lights seemed to be enough to make up for what was lacking in ambiance and design (for me, at least).

 

Then I heard stories and saw pictures of when the place existed in quieter times, and could only imagine…

 

Quiet Times – 11/20

 

An attempt at festivity.

Quiet Times – 10/20

 

Shade.
