I’ve always loved frames. You can’t blame me, I’ve been sporting them since I was 10; I still remember being teased at school because I looked like a geek (still do, actually) and was even labeled a poseur because apparently, sporting a pair of chunky grandfather specs meant that I was showing off to the rest of the class (like my grades weren’t better than the rest of ‘em to begin with, hur hur hur).

I’ll freely admit I drink way too many caffeinated beverages for my own good, but it’s hard when the work week threatens to swallow you whole. It certainly doesn’t help that I’ve found a new favorite coffee joint, 40 Hands (#01-12, 78 Yong Siak St., 6225-8545) at Tiong Bahru. For those of you who haven’t gotten round to popping by quite yet, here’s another good reason (aside from their fab cuppas). They’ve expanded their food offerings and launched a dinner bites menu conceived by Tippling Club’s Ryan Clift.
