oi!

This will be my first real post after the frustrating introduction which almost lead me to quit this blog(lagi sekali AMAR BODO!).Anyway, on to my life.Today I've just had my first experience of having the 'pleasure' of sipping a 'macchiato' which proves to be totally dissapointing and unpleasant memory(akan ku ingat hari ni).On normal En Mapen's day,he would've just have an ice mocha or just plain cappucino but today,En Mapen was trying to be creative and have a macchiato since the name was actually very interesting.With a smiling face(macam tau2 je aku dah tertipu!), the staff that made it handed me the surprisingly small paper cup,bout the height of my thumb.(terkejut sial aku,aku bayar $2.40 dapat kecik tuh je!)Although I was surprised,I just played dumb and took the cup to have a sit(bangga la konon minum macchiato).Tasting it was the next disaster(pahit sial!bodo punye omputih minum air pahit2 camni),and I can't handle it.Even after putting 2 packets of sugar, the taste was still thick.In the end, I only needed 2 'huge' gulp to finish the damn coffee(bodo gile,1 tegok = $1.20).Because of that also I ended up buying a carrot cake just to de'macchiato' myself(at least aku dapat at least 10 kunyahan seblom kek tu habis,1 kunyah = 20sen).Total cost = $4.40. Pengajarannye di sini:Stick to a basic coffee.Sbb aku x puas hati gak, I did some reasearch on the internet about macchiato:

What's Macchiato ? Espresso Macchiato . [mock-e-AH-toe] Some say this is espresso with about a half inch of milk foam (no steamed milk). But some strongly disagree. One enthusiast writes of the above definition: "Surely not. Macchiato (lit. "marked") is a dash of milk or cream in espresso." Another writes "the chap who serves me espresso, and who has been roasting coffee and selling and leasing machines for several years ....tells me that Macchiato is made with half-and-half." From Australia: " 'Macchiato' has two variations here - long and short. 'Short' is an espresso (in the mandatory micro cup) with just a dash of milk. This is the default at most trad. Italian mum & dad restaurants. 'Long' is a _glass_ with two shots of espresso, and small amount of milk. The peak of macchiato making is to pour the milk in so slowly that it never makes it to the bottom of the glass. The resulting layered drink has been known to inspire fear in the novice drinker. This the default at coffee houses. Both of these _seemed_ to have started out in small glasses (about 175ml) but the fashionable have demanded ever larger glasses - of about 375ml. Starbucks defines Espresso Macchiato as "1 shot of espresso in a demitasse [topped with] a small dollop of foamed milk. Finally, this somewhat similar variation: "The coffeehouse I work at serves as Macchiato, a layered cappuccino. 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 espresso sitting on that (not mixed), and finally 1/3 milk foam. When served in glass, it is quite elegant, and when drunk, the foam insulates the coffee for temperatures sake, the espresso hits the palate first, and finally, the slightly sweet steamed milk washes the palate. a fine beverage, though perhaps not the standard."

Ok,Kire tepat jugak la ngan macchiato yg aku minum tuh,PTUIIIIIIII!

Finally a visit to perisai Komuniti favourite soccer website soccernet.com. A look at the premiership season guide by Dale Johnson,

Quote:Arsenal still appear to be well equipped to mount a challenge, even if they have to get used to life without captain and talisman Patrick Vieira. In truth, the Frenchman's stock was beginning to fall and his performances were not what they once were; but he will still be hard to replace. Gilberto cannot play the same role and Cesc Fabregas still has much to learn to be able to bear the responsibility of being Vieira's successor. If Arsenal are going to really give Chelsea a run for their money they will have to buy a replacement, but the candidates are few and far between.
