coffee and me

inseparable. =)

when i was a little girl, i was quite scared when being told by people that if small kid drink coffee, they will become dull and stupid because the coffee will fry their brains.

but mum would make a large jug of coffee to drink the whole day by my family every morning. she would pour 4 cups of coffee and placed them on the table for breakfast. then she will make me milo or tea (am the youngest, and therefore special xD)

and i often think how coffee would taste like back then. that black, oogy strong smell water..

my first sip (i remembered exactly the moment i fell in love with coffee!) was with daddy one evening while watching news. he was stirring his coffee when i sat on his lap, eyeing on the cup itself. i was around 5 or 6 years old, nearing my kindergarten days..so for 5 minutes i stare at the cup and watch the coffee water waves all made by dad's stirring.

then he carefully scooped out a small amount of it using the spoon. i was amazed and weird enough, i see the coffee as if it is a magic potion. tiny vapors of steam came out from the spoon, and dad gave it a small blow. when all is clear, he offered it to me and placed it near my mouth.

i sipped.

darn... it tasted real good. daddy said Nescafe back in those days were supreme, strong and aromatic, unlike what it is today.

after first sip i was terribly sad, thinking that i have spoiled my brain and will disappoint mum and dad. i quickly put the blame on my dad...

"i drink this one, not stupid ha later? people say it kill my brain.. can die earlier... "

daddy was cool with it, replying a short yet reassuring, "nonsense."

ergo, my inseparable days with coffee starts there.

and mum would pour 5 cups of coffee every morning since then.

so until today, i have the habit of drinking massive amounts of coffee.. at home or outside..








now white coffee has become more and more popular.. and yes, i enjoyed it all the same.

hmm... suddenly i look forward to wake up tomorrow morning and have my cup of coffee.

goodnight, world. sleep tight and sweet dreams =)
