Late night Kopi

Its been ages since I went for late night coffee. Last night, I went for kopi session with my neighbour, Jas, who happen to have her off-day yesterday. Our kopi session was at the 24-hr kopitiam across the street. We chat a lot about life & work.

It was then that something at the corner of the kopitiam caught my eyes - it was those machine which contain toys. Those machine where you put in a 50 cents and when you turn the knob, a clear white container in drop out and it there's a toy. I guess nowadays we can't find such a machine which cost only 50 cents, those that I saw was a minimum of $1. This machine which i saw offer the toy from Japan which used to be a craze in Singapore.

I got this from my best pal, Kellin, about 3-4 yrs ago on my bday. When she 1st got this for me, it wasnt available in SG yet. Mine was an import set direct from Japan...wahaha. It was only soon after she bought 1 for me that it became widely available in SG.

Anyway, this toy is suppose to help relieve stress and work on solar power.

Hidamari No Tami - I guess this is its name? It was printed on the box as this.

Ok back to the topic. This machine offer smaller version of the above toy. I guess childhood memories crept into me without me realising it. Holding a dollar coin like a small child, I walked towards this machine and try my luck, I told myself I wanted a blue 1. *Turned knob*... ahhhh...what luck? I got an orange 1 instead.

I guess Jas couldnt stand the temptation that she also took dug her wallet for a dollar coin and try her luck, she wanted a pink 1. But... ...guess what she got a blue instead. In the end, we exchanged ours, feeling happy like kids. Suddenly, I realised that a few tables away was a group of teens who had turned their attention to us for a moment, they must be thinking that we are childish. Haha, we're young at heart!
