Notes from a cafe

A 30-something man with a hot drink and a book, waiting for someone.Comfortable sitting on the black couch but no smile.

Attractive young female sitting with leg crossed and a silent gaze out of the window. White top and handbag. Looks like a lovers' tiff as young man sitting across seems quiet and uncomfortable at the silence. No drinks on table. And young man walked to the counter, the girl did not move, did not look.

Young man reading intently on his laptop, actually it's just Friendster and emails, with white earphones and black Nike cap completing the youth uniform.

Two girls sitting with finished fraps still having lots to say to each other. One with ciggie in hand but mostly letting it burn as the chatter continues.

Another 2 couples, both in animated conversations. One couple with a red laptop while the other couple without.

It's a rather quiet evening here. Man with red beret and is that a brown towel waiting for his drink.

Girl in white walked away at last, with no warning. Young man stood up to chase, drink in hand which he just took from the counter.
