Awful
April 30, 2009
Sulawesi post is on hold because laptop screwed up, and i am hoping to recover the files.
So i got nothing to blog now!!! I searched my back up hard disk trying to see if there’s any interesting pictures i can blog about, and i found these.
A shop in Shanghai. A very nice and chic dessert bar, except for the awful name.
I mean… yea i’m sure their chocolate is very… awful.
Arrrghhh what to do now. Boring Thursday afternoon. I think i’m going to read an awfully book and then eat my awfully lunch.
i’m awfully sleepy though ..
cool name.
so funny la…. hahaha…
i feel awfully full from my awfully oily luncheon
Did someone mention me?!
must be awfully good to have such an awful name…
awfully cheesed
jeezzss….thats awful.. ;-p
awfully chocolate is famous here in sg too! bah.
it’s singapore-based franchise…don’t u know?
I didnt know that!!!! Singapore got such awfully english meh!
i guess it’s a kind of reverse psychology, i like their philosophy… “if we have to pay to say we’re good, we’re not that good”; they don’t believe in advertising, so cool, hence they came out with this impressive name to brand mark your mind.
feeling sleepy also so i stalk over for a break before my work.. :p
hope i can be like u to be awfully bored @ home
What’s wrong with your laptop? Able to recover the files?
dunno T_T
if i remember correctly, “awfully chocolate” is owned by a S’porean singer, chinese name is 黄葙仪…can’t remember her chinese name though…they also have a branch in Taiwan…their Chocolate cake however looks awfully delicious!
Oh, that Stella girl?
hahaha…
i think i’ve got her album also.
Singapore’s awfully chocolate owned by a singaporean. But Stella bring it to Taiwan and open “awfully chocolate” at Taiwan
i mean English name…haha
haiyah u should only latched the laptop, don’t screw it!
Maybe they meant awe-full-ly? And then backfired. Saaadd…
Ringo,
To bad about your laptop.
Awfully chocolate looks like a yummy place. A hardcore chocoholic like me should never go into to such a place without a responsible adult at my side.
I would have more fun than people should have in such a shop…way to much fun…
…to, to much fun…
…and calories!
Keep the pictures and travel adventures coming.

Actually, Awfully Chocolate is owned by Malaysian. just that it is marketed in SG. Stella was the ambasador for the company.
i thought stella owns the franchise license to distribute it in taiwan? and i dont think she is the ambassador, or is she?
awfully as in very, not in the literal sense of awful. So they were meaning very chocolate. I don’t think it was bad english, its not wrong
i agree.
cheesie – haven’t you heard people using the term, “that’s awfully good” before? it sounds like an oxymoron, but that’s just another way of saying that it was bloody good / damn good / you get the gist.
Then shouldn’t it be ‘Awfully Chocolatey’?
not really i dont think. i think its a rather clever pun leh. and im sad that its lost on some :/ kudos to their creativity!
china like to to copy ….and branding it with a little twist , wit opposite name of the original. guess they done a big mistake for this 1 …….!;-p
ermmm. it’s not a pirated version la, it’s the exact same name and the authentic brand through and through. awfullychocolate, quite a prestigious chocolate brand here. and i think its an awesome name. like the items will be awfully full of chocolate. so i dun really understand why she’s making fun of the brand name. HMM. this is one entry i dun get.
Hey Cheesie, this happened to me a lot of times too. Tell me if you need a good software or data recovery center. I send one hard disk to one in the US and all the photos came back.
It costs a bit though…
yea, the lost files can still be recovered as long as the HDD sector is not overwritten / reformatted. send it to a data recovery center, unless u have some nasty pix with edison inside la… wakaka
*disclaimer*’
“edison inside” is not a pun >.^
awfully chocolate cake is so gooood~ not awful at all.. haha
agree, their 3 and only 3 types of chocolate cakes are to die for!
Cheesie,
You promised to bombard me with gibberish!
Where oh where it my manglish lesson?
David
i was thinking its trying to mean awfulllyyy chocolatey…awfully as in full of chocolate?haha.
anyway an awfully random link to an awfully spectacular fireworks in genting!

Wei why ah when I comment my picture is that alien-like thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DIE YOU ALIEN LIKE THING DIE!
Walau got so many hands some more.
eww. why got so many hands
Wahahahaha. im doing my awfully useless and pointless hmwk. T_T
anw, i dont like awfully chocolate cakes. too moist. :/
Yeah, agree with coriollis up there…there’s nothing wrong with “awfully chocolate”! I’ve never heard of that shop before though.
you seem to be a bit of a fool. awfully is something you use before an adjective. Like ‘very’ or ’seriously’
=.=,
No marketing savvy. Using awfull in a name can create a very positive image for a chocolate shop. Chocolate lovers, (include me here), often will say something like – That dark chocolate is awfully good!
The name Awful Chocolate would draw me into the shop…
Dang, my tummy is grumbling already and KL is only a 16 hour airtrip from my home, not today.
Sigh . . .must fing chocolate . . .
David
you seem to be an idiot too
That guy should save his money on awful chocs and fix his arful pants hem
cheese ring!!same thing happened to me!
mappie is screwed,died,wont incarnate.
m hoping to recover files.n i hv no idea how to do it 8D
n at the same day hor..my hello kitty hair straghtener aso died lo..
gt one here at vivo city singapore^^
i just visited the shop today, singapore branch!!! the chocolate cake is really good
yum yum! you should try next time .. they have a few franchise around the world!
awful also means wonderful.. but its meaning changes with the time… so now we tend to associate awful with something negative.. ^^
it started from taipei by a former female singer – stella.
their chocolate, awesome!
its not a malaysian owned business, neither is it started by stella.
it was started by a singaporean, stella was an Ex-franchisee for taiwan.
