Coffee Buzz

Arrrggh. I'm on caffeine overdrive now. I've been frequenting Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Spinelli's regularly... It's always the mocha and its derivatives for me, thank you. Besides that, the nice pantry auntie always refills her coffee pot with fresh coffee, complete with condensed milk and a nice dash of milo. I've upgraded from 1 cup to about 2-3 cups a day. And I've only just started working!

The type of coffee is not only supposedly high in calories(Someone told me it was 400 per cup). But hahahaha... the coffee joint itself is a ripe target for anti-capitalists and terrorists!!! Recently, the central San Francisco joint was the target of a bomb attack. A bomb was found inside the outlet. Mmmm, but Starbucks is simply wonderful. I'm also a fan of all the various coffee joints in Australia. The Australians really know how to make a good brew. And they know how to twist their coffees for all the non-purists out there like me. Gloria Jean's, which has made a sad departure from the Singapore scene a while back, has a truffle ice-blend that is so sinful but so droolworthy. The other Australian joints, whose names I cannot recall now, also serve up some very tempting creations. To be back in Aussie land for a cuppa....... sigh. That's the stuff of dreams now. haha

That said, I'm surviving on artifical life support - caffeine. Without it, I would be lethargic, grumpy, sleepy, listless. And that's really scary, to think that I've become a coffee junkie. My highs have become HIGHS. And my lows have become even lower now! My life is already governed by extremes. THIS MUST CHANGE.
