“I promise you’ll never be bored.” - for Aviel!

Aviel became one of those people with whom she could see a friendship outside of the club. She always finds him fabulous, interesting as a person, and knows how to have a delightful conversation. ⏤ And she always had a little fun when they did things outside of the club, like the day of karaoke. ❛ I'm sure, I'm in good hands. ❜ She holds his hand, as they enter this party that was in a big mansion, which reminds her of the Great Gatsby party, and she feels like being in the movie.

London's Best Kept Secret

General Tso. Cereal chicken. Salted egg.

How can all this be related, you might ask? Meet the Po Bar, a Chinese-takeout restaurant that has quickly built its reputation with snake-long lines. Though it’s still new on the night-out dinner scene, it has become the talk of London. But why?

First impressions are everything—and Po Bar takes it to the next level. Upon entering the emperor-like door that resembles a snake, I was surprised to find out that there were only four tables in it. ‘Am I lost?’, I thought. Turns out I’m in the right place! As a way of building intimacy, Po Bar decides to only have four tables, embezzled in gold beads, which looks like something from The Great Gatsby.

Overlooking the ceiling, there were snake sculptures (yes, snakes all over again), that embodies the luck, the longevity, and the wealth of the restaurant. If you think four tables would make the restaurant dead silent, you’re wrong! Po Bar features an open kitchen, where you can have a peek of all the wok-banging magic happening.

What about the good, you might be wondering? For starters, I got the salted egg yoghurt parfait. At first, it might sound like something from Mars, isn’t it? But oh boy, did it live up to its hype! Even at the very first bite, I was taken aback. ‘No way!’, I thought. Moving onto the real deal—General Tso’s chicken. Bathed in crispy batter, this dish was oozy, salty, decadent—it had it all. If only my mum were here, we would go crazy on this!

Don’t get me started on the drinks. Right after devouring all that astronomically finger-licking goods, the chef turned up with a china-like glass filled with cereal-chicken latte. Yes, you read it right! Honestly, I was pretty sceptical at first. I mean, who wouldn’t, right? And again, everything in Po Bar passed my standard with flying colours. Even at the first slurp, you’ll be greeted with this odd texture, which is actually the cereal from the cereal chicken, and tasted nothing like your Starbucks order.

No matter how many times I passed by Po Bar, I would never ever forget all the goodness I had. Everything—the atmosphere, the food, the drinks—was just too good to be true. It was as if I was on a roller coaster ride, with all the fun! If you’re wondering where to go this weekend, Po Bar happily welcomes you. Have you made your reservation yet?

To start with, the review was written from a first-person point of view, which is supported by the use of pronouns like ‘I’ and ‘my’. Written in a chatty and colloquial style, the review is directed towards the younger audience, particularly teenagers or readers who are in their twenties. In terms of the form, the text started out with a shorter paragraph, before entering longer paragraphs filled with longer sentences in the body. This is done so in order to effectively capture the whole scene and experience of the restaurant. Throughout the test, a cheery feeling is maintained in order to keep the readers engaged as well as to entertain them. Hence the purpose of the text was not only informative, but also entertaining to some extent. In terms of the tenses, past and present tenses were used Both tenses are used in order to create the different timestamps of the author, one where they are writing the review, and one when they were in the restaurant, which allows the reader to have some sort of first-hand experience. Overall, the text is written with some humour in it, although there were some parts that might sound serious.

To start with, the text came out with a one-line paragraph—General Tso. Cereal chicken. Salted egg. Not only did this paragraph capture the attention of the reader, but also served as a hook, making the readers wonder why such foods are dropped in the first line. Then, in the next paragraph, the readers are directed to a clearer view, where the author promptly describes the big picture of the text, which was a review of the restaurant. In the second paragraph, rhetorical questions such as ‘How can all this be related, you might ask?’ and ‘But why?’ were used in order to engage the reader, making the text a two-way street between the author and the reader.

Several literary devices were used in the text. In the second paragraph, ‘snake-long lines’, which is a hyperbole, is used to show just how trendy and big of a deal the restaurant is. Allusions were also used in the third paragraph—The Great Gatsby—as well as in the first paragraph—Starbucks. The use of name-dropping well-known titles not only created a lively feeling to the text, but also allowed the author to express their interests of a different subject to their reader.

In the third paragraph, it all started out with a simple and short sentence. Yet when it is in the body of the paragraph, longer and wordier sentences are used, allowing the reader to have a full-on view of the dining experience. The inside thoughts of the author were also displayed in the text—’Am I lost?’, I thought—which shows that the text not only was some sort of review that highlights the external details, but also effectively serves as a window into the author’s mind. This makes the review to be more authentic and less advertisement-like. This is further supported with the text found in parenthesis—yes, snakes all over again—which reinforces the feeling that the review was genuinely and wholeheartedly written by the author. Group of three was also used in the paragraph—the luck, the longevity, and the wealth—to effectively describe what the restaurant stands for or believes in. Pronouns like ‘you’ could also be found in this paragraph, putting the readers in the author’s shoes, which again, allows the reader to give a first-hand experience. The adjective ‘wok-banging’, as well as the idiom ‘dead silent’ further supports the lively feeling of the text.

Onto the next paragraph, the author describes another point of focus, which is the foods of the restaurant. Even in the paragraph where everything seems to be all descriptive, the author still manages to capture and engage the reader’s attention with rhetorical questions. In this paragraph, shorter sentences were used, which shows that not much of a word can truly describe the foods of the restaurant, but also shows the excitement and the uplifting feeling of the author. ‘Taken aback’ highlights the author’s surprised feeling of the food, effectively making the reader wonder why such food could create that feeling. The author, again, displays their internal feeling—’No way’, I thought. The paragraph ended with an if clause, contrasting the other sentences while also showing a feeling of longing for the author.

The penultimate paragraph, which started with ‘don’t get me started’ shows how awe-struck the author feels about the food. While the phrase could be interpreted as a start of negative experience, it was the opposite. Again, the author effectively captures the highlight of the dining experience, in this case, the drinks. From the hyperbole used ‘astronomically finger-licking’ to the odd drink that was described, it made the reader wonder why such dining experience was this all about. Again, the author shares their internal thoughts about the odd drink with the phrase ‘pretty sceptical at first’. And then, the author engages the reader by snipping in rhetorical questions, which gives the reader room for interpretation. An idiom could be found in the paragraph—flying colours—which not only makes the text more lively, but also shows the various figurative languages used by the author.

In the closing paragraph, the author effectively exhibits their feelings and thoughts about the restaurant. Although descriptive adjectives were not used, it showed the author was impressed with the dining experience when they needed the first sentence of the paragraph with ‘never ever forget all the goodness I had’. Again, the author utilises a group of three in the paragraph, as well as metaphor, with the word ‘rollercoaster ride’. This just shows how the lively feeling is still well kept even at the end of the text. And then, the author shifts their focus to the reader, where they use rhetorical questions as well as the personification ‘welcomes’ to create an inviting feeling to the restaurant.

Overall, the text is written in a chronological manner, in which the author started out from entering the restaurant, to the drinks they had. This allows the reader to have a clear sense of time, which may be beneficial for those who are planning to visit the restaurant. Throughout the text, the author paces back and forth between their point of focus, to make the reader feel as though they were in the restaurant as well as to engage the reader by the pronouns ‘you’ or the use of rhetorical questions.

#6 - Fluff (Sentence Starter Prompts)

Requested by @justbootleggerthings

"Can we just stay like this forever?" Jay sighed, resting his head on his boyfriends chest. The silk sheets that were typically washed and replaced by one of Jay’s maids were now messy, tossed about. Those sheets were draped over and between Jay’s legs--his legs entwined with Nicks. 

He could hear Nick’s heartbeat. The way it would beat quicker whenever Jay spoke. Nicks hands moved slow, up and down Jay’s back, neck, and head. His hands were warm, soft. It’s like his time in the war had no effect on his hands. They weren’t rough, or callused. They were soft--and Jay loved feeling those soft hands on his own body, loved feeling those hands toy with his hair and trace the bullet scar on his back. It had been a miracle that he had lived through Wilson’s angered rampage--but now wasn’t the time to think about that. 

“As much as I wish we could, I have work on Wall Street tomorrow and...” Nick trailed off. His hands worked in and out of Jay’s beautiful short golden strands of hair. “...and I think I’m going to call out sick...” he finished.

Jay smiled against Nick’s collarbone. He placed small kisses on Nick’s neck and chest--earning a small chuckle from the younger male beneath him. As Jay tilted his head up to look at Nick, he noticed Nick was staring straight up at the ceiling of the bedroom. “What’s the matter old sport?”

It was a hot summer night in New York--the hottest it had been in a long while. It was dark, and the stars were out--the party had ended hours ago--but the heat had made the night sleepless, unbearable. 

He and Nick had laid down almost two hours ago with every intention of falling asleep while in each others arms--but all they both did was toss, turn, and remove articles of clothing that seemed to be suffocating them. They had wound up like this, clad only in their trousers--Nick on his back, Jay’s head on Nick’s chest--sweating so much their hair was damp. They had the intention of laying with each other--and no hot New York night was going to keep them from that. Their bodies were inseparable. 

There was no light on in the bedroom. Just darkness, and silence--the only occasional sound resonating from the beach, or somewhere on the ocean. Jay had gotten up an hour earlier and open his bedroom windows, letting a small breeze in off the bay, though it barely did anything at all. The only light around was the moonlight--illuminating their damp bodies, and shining on Nick’s beautiful, damp brown hair. Jay reached up, running a hand through that hair--something that never seemed to get old. The feeling of running his hands through Nick’s hair hadn't changed since the first time Jay did so--and Jay hoped the feeling would remain the same forever, hoped it would always make him feel as enamored of Nick as he was the day they met.

That day had been over a year ago, and Jay and Nick had lived peacefully together ever since.

“Nothing is wrong...” Nick trailed off once more. Jay pushed up on his arms, body more than halfway on Nick’s, their skin pressed flush together--both so hot they felt as if they would melt together. “...I am just--” he stopped, huffing, “I am still just so blown away by the fact that laying here with you, in this bed, in this mansion, in West Egg, New York, has become my reality in less that a years time. And it could have been anyones."

Nick smiled and pushed up on his arms as well, looking into Jay’s eyes. He placed a hand on Gatsby’s cheek. “And Jay?”

Jay stared, his own eyes half-lidded, gazing into Nick’s gorgeous blue ones. He loved the way the moonlight always made them look, and seeing them made Jay feel like he and Nick were the only ones in the world. “Yes, old sport?” His voice was quiet, almost a whisper.

“I wouldn't dare trade a single second that I have spent with you for anything--not even for the entire world.” Nick smiled, his eyes squinting just the slightest as he did.

Just when he assumed it wasn't possible, Jay felt his cheeks grow hotter than the New York summer night. He pressed his lips warmly to Nick’s, the kiss more than accepted by Nick himself.

The green light shone through the window for what seemed like a split second, then it was gone. Gone like Daisy, like Tom. Jay didn't bat an eye to that damned light any longer--not in regards to Daisy Buchanan and the like. Now? That light represented a new beginning for himself and Nick. His new beginning was Nick, whether Nick knew it or not. He didn't want to waste his time repeating the past--because the future with Nick at his side was so much brighter than what it would have been with Daisy. It was almost like that green light was shining even brighter now--brighter now that Nick Carraway was a permanent part of Jay’s life. 

“I want to stay like this with you forever, darling...” Nick whispered--his forehead pressed to Jay’s.

“Then we shall, old sport.” Jay whispered back, kissing Nick once more.

A long, cool breeze rolled through the windows blowing the curtains upward, carrying with it the smell of the bay. The green light made its momentary return as Jay returned his head to its usual place on Nick’s chest. He hadn't felt tired all night--but as Nicks soft fingers worked through his hair, and the cool ocean breeze cut through the sheets, getting rest no longer seemed to be such a difficult task.

      Her jaw still ached from chewing on twigs, body desperate for any sort of nutrient. Body so fragile now that even breathing felt capable of cracking ribs. “We won’t have enough rations to last through the winter.” They barely had enough to last through the next couple of weeks. With the ever-current onslaught of siege, there was little hope that any more food would make it through to the city. Not even the rats came around anymore, choosing to feed upon the corpses of soldiers rather than be feasted upon by those still struggling to survive. 

      “I cannot remember the taste of anything except rats and stale bread,” and the snow. Snow was good when one's stomach needed to feel full when there was so little within it. Fox tried to remember fresh strawberries and cream, the full-bodied taste of chocolate ice cream, vegetables, apples, blackberries plucked right from forest bushes and mashed with mint. Yet the stringy, greasy memory of rat meat filled her mind instead.

“I think you’re pretty. Period.” But she must also think he’s a little dumb if she really thinks the way her lips slightly pucker when she coos those words to him would sway him. Or how her lashes flutter. Or how her finger idly twirls itself round a lock of her dark hair.

Maybe she just wants a little attention even if he told her he was going out with the guys tonight. Maybe she’ll miss him real bad when he goes and he has to make sure she doesn’t miss him too much. Or maybe she’s just being her usual greedy self and wants him to be a few minutes late–
