Cavalock Is Neil Gaiman's Oldest Caffeine Crazed Fan


When I first bought my Nespresso coffee machine, I told myself I'll limit myself to using only on weekends, for breakfast and the occasional affogato. But since getting the aeroccino in London (its sooo much cheaper there), I been using it every morning! Fortunately, bought like a dozen tubes of Nespresso capsules too. Arrrgh .... indulgance?


Some other goodies from the Nespresso shop in London. Have asked the local one at our Takashimaya why they don't stock them, was told it could be the our hot weather....er, yah rite, doesn't seem to bother Royce!....

Anyway, writer Neil Gaiman was in town but I couldn't attend any of his talks/appearances cos you needed tickets for them and I was outta town when they were giving them out. Anyway, met him a few years ago when he was here. Was at Orchard Cineleisure that time and Q-ed for like, an hour to chat with him.


Notice how his signature has kinda changed over the years. Wanna know why Neil says I'm his oldest fan in Singapore (covered my name there, heh). Noooooo, he doesn't how old I am. Check out the ORIGINAL COPY of Sandman #9 and you'll know why. (๑→‿ฺ←๑)

I only drink coffee when at work (if it's free) or when I go out. I prefer it nice and dark (Cuban coffees are my favourite). Not crazy about espresso, though.

Are you mentioned somewhere in Sandman #9 or you just own the original?

I had my first Nespresso last Saturday. I was suprised how small the machine was. I took a dark coffee and it was pretty good.
