		<title>Goodbye to NYC&#8217;s Famous Emblems of the Street</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Browsing through the New York Times (link to article) the other day brought some saddening news, something so potentially life changing, not just for New Yorkers but for any citizen of the world who has fallen in love with New York City at some point in their life, whether because of a favourite movie (You&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Read: Me and Mr Darcy by Alexandra Potter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up this book from a fellow Book Club member on our book exchange day, trading books for summer reading. I have to admit that part of the reason I chose this over many other books was the title and if you&#8217;re anyone who loved any of Jane Austen&#8217;s books, you are going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Read: The Debutante by Kathleen Tessaro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Debutante by Kathleen Tessaro My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was drawn to this book primarily because of the cover and if not for it, I would never have heard of Kathleen Tessaro, period. The pink and black with its bling bling high heels, appealed to the girly side of me immediately. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Read: Mansfield Park by Jane Austen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If not for the wonderful invention that is the iPhone, the great app that is Stanza and the great idea that is Project Gutenberg and of course some idle time spent on trains in many a country, I would probably never have ever picked this book off any bookshelf to read. Ever since I found [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starbucks going local?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across an interesting recruitment advertisement for Starbucks Coffee Asia-Pacific in the 15th May edition of the Classified Post (page 38). Starbucks are seeking design directors and manager to lead their design teams in a bid to&#8230; &#8220;ensure that newly opened and renovated outlets reflect the character of their neighbourhoods&#8221;. In a picture [...]]]></description>

		<title>The TimeOut Wine Walk 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the book club meeting last Saturday, some of the girls headed off to the TimeOut Wine Walk. An outing that they have been planning for. I figured that it&#8217;d be a good induction outing into what these ladies usually do on a book club meeting day because apparently, their book club brunch always extends [...]]]></description>

		<title>Read: One Day by David Nicholls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first time I am reading David Nicholls and probably would never have if not for the Book Club that I have recently joined. So that&#8217;s one of the aims of joining a book club fulfilled! (The idea is to join a book club so I would be &#8216;forced&#8217; to read books that [...]]]></description>
