好久没有用华语blog 了。
慢活是我最近上网时看到的。慢活应该是指慢慢地活，不被时间环境限制吧。
慢活人人向往，但在生活步伐如此快的都市，可能慢活吗？
即时在旅行时，也未必能够慢活。赶飞机，赶火车，赶巴士。赶导览，赶开幕，赶关门。
赶赶赶。有时我们觉得旅行就是慢活，但有时我们只是重演了办公室里的快活。
我想，要学习慢活就应该从生活开始。我真的很想学习慢活，从这一刻开始慢慢地活。
今天本想九点起身去游泳。结果九点半才醒来。吃吃早餐，看看报纸，十点半才出发。游呀游就午时了。本来想去tiong bahru一带吃brunch，却临时改变主意，去了rochester mall pies & coffee。一来，还没去过那。二来，觉得那会清幽些。就这样游游永，喝喝茶，吃吃派，看看杂志报纸过了几个小时。
我不知道这算不算慢活，但我好像慢慢地活过来了。也许这才是慢活的定义。

| Pies & Coffee at Rochester Mall, next to The Star Vista, is such a sanctuary! There were so few people around, contrary to what I thought... |
 |
| My simple yet yummy lunch - lamb shank pie and yuzu tea. |
 |
| The last time I had lamb meat was at Sydney where I had a lamb burger... Some of my friends don't like lamb meat because of the 'smell' it exudes. But I like it - it's what made lamb meat special, right? Very tender and savoury. I did not try the other pies, which I will (soon, I hope). But I'm quite sure the other pies taste equally good! |
 |
| Hot yuzu tea. I wanted to order an ice honey yuzu tea but I guess I did not order the correct item. Quite interesting - not sure if yuzu is a spice, but as tea leaves, the spice flavour was quite strong. Maybe I should have ordered a coffee, since the café is Pies & Coffee. LOL. |
 |
| Listening to the fountain, facing the colonial building that houses Starbucks. And quite devoid of a crowd. What a sanctuary! |
 |
| There's indoor seating too for those who need the air con. Go for the outdoor, I say. It's really quite windy and with the sound of the fountain in the background, it was quite therapeutic. And guess what? I spot some power outlets along the wall, so this could be a good place to surf the net and blog. LOL |
Found the Piettiquete in the Pies & Coffee website so funny! I just ate it - I'm so unpiettiquete! LOL.
For those who do not understand what I posted in Chinese, it was about slowing down in life. And I really felt that Pies & Coffee helped me to slow down today :) The popular cafes are really crowded these days, so if you are looking for a quiet place to chill, do check it out :)
PS: Trying to upload a short video of the café so you get what I mean about the place being a sanctuary :) Stay tuned!
