Caffeine addiction

Hands up all coffee lovers! I readily and unashamedly admit that I am a coffee lover. I need my cuppa every day or else I feel as if something is missing in my life. I can drink up to three cups a day - but that is hardly a record considering that many others practically live on that stuff!



I have my parents to thank for that! My dad especially needs his caffeine fix everyday without fail - one cup in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night. So we kids followed in our dad's footsteps. Coffee drinking is a family affair - one that I remember with much affection. We would be watching tv or reading book or doing something or another at night (after dinner) when dad will inevitably ask - Anyone wants coffee? Ah......I miss those days. Bonding over coffee.



Coffee culture is fast spreading, thanks to Starbucks and the likes. I know that some of my friends have this self-policy against the green and white coffee chain, but I really don't bother. I have this thing for their white chocolate mocha (hot of course) because it is so creamy...ahhh...But it is also a place for people to gather or for people watching. I know I have much fun watching and eavesdropping on other people's conversation (hey, I can't help it if people talk too loud okay?). I know that back home it is a place to be seen because the chains are always located in some upscale place. The prices are high and to afford it you gotta be reasonably well off (or willing to sacrifice some $$) especially when you can get much cheaper (and nicer) coffee in the kopitiams. I remembered when I went to Coffee Bean in this "high-end" place to get some coffee dressed in just a simple top and jeans and I was on the receiving end of some condescending stares. Why? Because I made the faux pas of NOT dressing up - to get coffee!



Damn....all this coffee talk is making me drool! Ah....kopi ais satu!
