[ r i n . a i j y o ] – flavor of life, love, and all that you dream of

Because studying at home or at uni gets boring (or noisy), I’ve taken to trying new places for a change of atmosphere. Previously, Starbucks was the place for summative 1 cramming. But now…

A while ago, because I had to go to KLCC to meet up with my cousin (who came back from a working stint in the UK), I discovered Kinokuniya’s Coffee Club Xpress. The in-house coffee outlet is situated on the upper floor of the bookstore, and during the daytime affords a nice, bright, airy atmosphere. It’s fairly quiet, depending on whether you miss the lunch crowd or not. Prices are cheaper than those of Coffeebean and Starbucks, and it’s a cute little place.

I had a mixed-berry tea (can’t remember what it was called). Isn’t the mug cute? :)

My teeeeeaa. xx

Recently, I’ve been patronizing good ol’ Coffeebean @ Jaya One, Section 17. That place is really developing… Quite a number of people hang out there, and I don’t feel like I’m in PJ whenever I’m inside that area. Anyway, that Coffeebean outlet is quite quiet, as it is situated near the back of the place–it’s not in the center of things like the adjacent Starbucks. The staff are very friendly, too. :) Tonight I went with Rae, since we both had work to do and I hadn’t seen her in ages!

Proof she worked hard at her report!

Proof I studied.

…but who am I kidding? :)) Here’s what we reaaaalllyyy did.

Truth.

SO maybe we weren’t as efficient as we should have been, but it sure beats studying alone. :B (which can get boring as hell)

All power to studying with friends at nice places. With coffee or tea (or meeeee) handy.

5 days left to summative 2! All the best, my dear batchmates. We can do this. <3

Also, no prizes for guessing who, but I couldn’t resist. :)))

That pillow must smell GREAT.

Oh, med student life. xx
