Bandung

Two nights ago, I received two new emails in my mailbox from my blog readers. One was from Amel, the other from Mike. They were both writing to me for the very first time, at the same time though one is now residing in Europe, and the other's in America. Now here's the uncanny part.

Amel wrote to me about her upcoming trip to Bandung, a town in Indonesia where she was originally from. She's hoping to swing by Singapore where we can finally meet each other.

Meanwhile, from the other side of the world, Mike was asking me if I've ever heard of a delicious rose petal drink he had tasted in Singapore. He was wondering if I could send some over to him. Why, it's a drink called Bandung of course!

Now I don't know if this sweet pinkish bandung drink made using rose essence and milk has got anything to do with the Bandung in Indonesia but geez, what a coincidence!
