cinnamon blended no more

i haven't been to CoffeeBean for a long time. i'm not a fan of coffee actually. i'm just for the occasional drink each time the peeps stop by those so-called kedai kopi for their usual fix. or back in Uni when i needed to stay up to do some last-minute cramming - burning the midnight oil - so the instant 3-in-1 was my best friend. or during office hours when i feel so sluggish in front of the PC that my eyes can barely open.

and coffee can be fairly pricey, these days. if i were to drink one cup a day, i'd be spending like rm300+ on coffee alone each month. huwaaaa...

anyway, during lunch time today i went out with a colleague of mine (who's gonna resign soon and leave me behind, sob sob) and she's a real coffee junkie so after lunch we decided to get a cuppa at CoffeeBean. i was all for it and had already decided on what i wanted to get.

ice blended cinnamon!

oh yeah, i knew you're eyes were gonna pop out in disgust. that's how my former boss Gene reacted when i first told him i what i wanted the last time he offered to buy coffee for us.

what's so weird about cinnamon? i'm a HUGE fan of cinnamon. that's where Cinnabon got its name. i love cinnamon buns. this is one type of spice that i don't actually mind consuming =D. cinnamon blended still had the coffee element in it, but at least the bitterness of the coffee is hidden by the sweet taste of cinnamon. and it's not too sweet either, like caramel.

heck, i preferred CoffeeBean over the rest of the other kedai kopi just because they're the only ones that offers cinnamon blended.

well, not anymore. when i was ordering with my friend she noticed the menu board had been revamped. and when i asked for cinnamon blended, they said they weren't selling them anymore!!! whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! *sob*. i ordered ice blended caramel in the end, but it wasn't the same *sniff*.

CoffeeBean, bring back my ice blended cinnamon!!!!!

on another note, here are some of the junk i went to survey after lunch:

PSP 3000
- a newer improved version of the previous PSP
- uses UMD
- built in microphone and wider screen
- price rm899
- already available in Malaysia

PSP GO
- functionalities similar to PSP3000
- uses SSD (which is far more better than UMD, more stable)
- design differs from PSP 3000
- price rm1199
- tentatively available in Malaysia from November onwards

i went to Kinokuniya earlier to survey the following books:
