My classmate back from the good ol’ La Salle school days, Leslie; and I, met for breakfast at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Sunway Pyramid. Leslie messaged (texted in modern terms, or whatsapped me, saying that he would be at Pyramid (referring to Sunway Pyramid) early this morning, to collect his Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds that he had pre-ordered a couple of weeks earlier. He messaged me last evening.
The breakfast at CBTL was tasty. I made the mistake of heavily peppering the scrambled eggs before trying a bite to taste it. Old habits perhaps?
Their Americano or Long Black, whichever you want to refer to the black coffee (I know all or most coffees are black😉😏). However, this refers to the coffee without the clothes on. No, not me with out clothes on, the coffee. The coffee. Focus people🤣. We generally like our coffee without milk or sugar – plain black. This is what I mean by “without the clothes on”.
We caught up with some news of our other classmates. Our main chat centred around the Sony earbuds he was about to pick up and the new Samsung Watch 6 Classic 47mm that was recently launched.
Leslie decided on the choice of grey color earbuds instead of the usual black. These WF-1000XM5 earbuds, (you know ’em small tiny ones?) came in a nice, larg-ish box. I believe this to be an introduction package with a few additional goodies. What I found a bit strange was the many scraps of general receipts and other information, instead of an official receipt or document with the purchase. It seems SONY’S online system will pick up the sale information later. Maybe their online system was down… I am not too sure…
We, then headed to the restaurant that sells Ramen and other such dishes. The menu did not look too appertizing to me. Plus, we wanted to have a light lunch.
We decided to go to Starbucks which was just next door to this restaurant selling ramen type food.
We sat at a table, indoors, as the weather was so very hot and humid.
We each ordered a tuna sandwich and a Caramel Mochiato coffee, iced, without cookie but with caramel decorated whipped cream on top of it.
The tuna sandwich, with the bread toasted, was cut into 3 equal smaller sandwiches. It was good.
The Caramel Mochiato coffee, iced, without cookie but with caramel decorated whipped cream on top of it (sounds like James Bond’s “stirred, not shaken” martini); was nice but sweeter than we would have liked to be. No cookie – The cookie only comes at the edge of the glass, with the venti size drink only.
I made arrangements (texted) with Chen Yao, the manager of Harvey Norman, to get ready the Watch 6 Classic 47mm, so that we could just pick it up without waiting too long at the store. Chen Yao was on leave. She contacted the store and got the watch ready for Leslie’s collection – just pay and go.
One happy guy with two gadget toys to fill his evening today, setting them up.
Now, for the next event on the calendar for this evening.
