A vicious cycle

2 days ago, I slept rather late because I was reading a comic online and it was sooooo slow in loading, but I really wanted to finish reading it. The next day I brought to work one of the Ipoh Old town Hazelnut flavour White Coffee sticks that my sis bought from Ipoh. I made a cup of coffee with 80% of the powder in that packet and drank it.

Wow it really works, on the way home I was so alert. However I felt rather tense, the feeling intensified when I was in the jam, tension betul.... I felt like screaming at the crawling cars. Darn, too muhc caffiene....

When I got home, I asked my sis about the coffee, she was like...what time did you drink it? I said... 3 something pm. She said, die la you, tonight no need to sleep adi, that stuff is very potent.

True enough, it was 2.30 am before I could sfinally nod off. The next day I was zombified... I wanted to drink coffee, but I was afraid I wont be able to sleep later on. On the way back home I fell asleep at the wheel a few times. Dang......... too dangerous adi. Apparently the caffiene lingered on to the 2nd day, because although I was sleeping driving home, I didnt feel sleepy that night until quite late.

Today I'm not taking any chances. I shall drink a little bit of coffee before driving home, just a little...... hopefully I dont suffer from insomnia again tonight.

Coffee, tea and me

I just made my first cup of non instant coffee. 24 years of living and this is my first time. Well as some of you guys know I'm not a coffee drinker. I prefer Milo, Ovaltine, Vico or any other sweet drink to coffee. I was driven to this because I forgot to bring my breakfast once again, and all the food in my drawer has expired. Even the tea has expired. Sigh...

Yesterday I made 3 in 1 coffee because I ran out of ovaltine. Today there was nothing left so I gingerly made my way to the kitchen, and stared at all the bottles and tins of what not on top of the fridge. Hence began a legendary moment in my life. Making my first coffee.

Ok, the black stuff in one of the containers should be the coffee. Hmm..there is no spoon in the container. The spoon in my cup is wet coz I just washed it. Ok I shall attempt to tip a bit of the coffee powder into my cup.... Arghhh... too much! Spoons half the powder into the dustbin. Ok, now what else do they have... hmm creamer... how much to put? Cincai la put 1 spoon. Sugar...er... 1 spoon la. Add hot water and stir. Erm... the coffee looks too dark... ok add a bit more creamer. Take a sip... Bleah.. a bit bitter... adds more sugar. Takes another sip.... too sweet liao :S Ok, pour 1/4 of the coffee into the sink, and add in more hot water. Ok, cincai la, that should do.

Ok, so it tastes kinda diluted now. Well nevermind, too much coffee would give me a headache anyway. Guess this will at least allow me to last till lunchtime.

A Salty Lunch

Today my colleague A suggested that we go SS2 for lunch in his car. Now we were wondering how come he was so generous to offer to drive us there. Then in the car, J said , "Hah, you are going to SS2 to pay your car saman ! I knew you weren't that good to fetch us to SS2 for no reason" Then A was like " Yaya...." So we went looking for parking, and managed to find a place. Then A said, ok you guys go ahead, we eat at this shop la..I go and pay my saman 1st... with that, A took off in a hurry.

That was when V said, "What else is there to eat around here"? Then my senior said there was nothing much, but if he wanted we would walk around and see. So we walked and walked. Then J whispered to us "Actually V does not want to eat porridge..." Then my senior told him,"Eh, there got rice also u know..." V was like, "hmmm ok....anything la" but he kept on walking. So we followed him until wewere quite far away from where we parked. We ended up at this certain shop that sells noodles and fried rice. Then we made a call to A to ask him to meet us there.

Now the pony tailed shop owner came to take our order. One look at his sour face made us wonder if we had made the right decision in coming. Before we could finish making out orders, he went away. We started looking at each other... Then I told them, uh, I have not ordered yet... THen they said, "hmm..he seems tob e in a bad mood today la that owner.." When the fella came back with the drinks, I gave him my order, and he gave me this withering look that seemed to say " How dare you waste my time by ordering late , you low life!" I mean who could talk to a face like that? I was like stammering away..."Uh..I want.... Ngua lam noodles...." Then he snapped " What noodle ??!!" I was like "uhhh...kuey teow..." Then he took off. V made us laugh by imitating his "What noodle??!!" speech over and over.

OK, here comes the food. V took one sip of his soup and went "Urghh, its soo salty !!" Yea actually my soup was salty too. So we were eating and A came back. A lady came to take his order.

Waitress : What would you like?
A: (Looks at V's food) Hmm, I'll have this one la
V: (Mouth full of food) *shakes head vigorously at A
Rest of us: *trying to contain our laughter
A: Yea, I'll have what he is having
V: Almost chokes on his food trying to convey the "NOOOOO!!!!" message
Waitress (Looking at V's strange actions) Uh..ok... this dish is very nice one, good choice !
Rest of us: (could not contain laughther anymore) AHAHAHAHHAAHA hAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA
Waitress: *Leaves the bunch of giggling fools(us)

A: What are you all laughing about? And V, what were you trying to do?
Rest of us : *faint from laughther overdose "WHY U SO BLUR ONE ! "

V complained that he shook his head until it hurt but still A could not get the message. Hopeless.......After that we had a good time reacting the scene over and over until A threatened to make us walk home. That didnt stop us from reacting the scene once we were in his car. :p
