Tiring

It's been a rather tiring week this week. We were requested to either start work early or work later in an attempt to bring down the load of our team. On top of that, I increased my run distance to 4km. Its only a mere 800 meters more, but after a long day at work, running around in circles is starting to become really boring. One of these days I need to mark out a nice running route outside the stadium.

The fun part would be gift shopping. Been window shopping to see what would be good buys. Never committed till I think I've had enough of looking around. Still, I think I've gotten some pretty nifty stuff.There is this chocolate retail shop at Milennia Walk. Sells nothing but chocolate. Got to admit the shop's layout and design is rather unique considering the fact they sell chocolates. Anyway, a small bar of chocolate would cost you a whooping $8. The most costly being tagged at $12. The packaging looks really intersting too.

Needless to say, I bought 1 $10 bar for my company event gift exchange. In addition to that, I bought another $10 bar for my mother. Tiramisu flavoured. Took it home, handed the loot over, took a small piece and....... omg, it taste like any other regular chocolate. Dissappointed. Initially I thought it would be really cool to buy a couple of these for gift exchange but after actually tasting it, I'm so damn glad I stuck with the nifty stuff I bought.So the morale of the story, the packaging ofr the chocolate looks interesting. The wide selection of flavours available makes it appealing. The store design and layout makes it really fresh, but taste wise, sup par, at least thats how tiramisu tasted. Maybe other flavours would taste better, but I know I wouldn't be going back there for a long time to come.

Whats the shop name? Chocolate Research Facility if I'm not wrong.
