I Talk Only Coffee


I'm holding my big mug when suddenly these funny thoughts simply come into my mind... It's only a big white mug, nothing else. But, it reminds me about coffee?.. Oh, okay...

I'm not a coffee addict, not really a coffee lover but I do like and love coffee. But, that depends to at what time, or at what place, or at what things that I wanted to do, where I may need a good cup of coffee at the same time.

Some people say, coffee is their best friend. It seems, well yes it's also true because they need coffee while doing their other things, being their companionship, a way to cherish others, or to bring along 2 people together and all... Thus, it's truly as simple as that!

When I'm thinking of all these, everyone would have been experienced the same thing, and that also including myself. So, the question is....

"At what, or where, or when exactly you or I need coffee time the most?"


I'm just going to make some sort of listing of the things briefly and in simple way possible. Hence, it goes something like this...

# First...

I would love to have coffee when I'm reading a book at home. And, this also same goes to when I'm writing or do my blogging. Well, it depends with how much free time I do actually had, as there're days that I couldn't spend more time, mostly blogging because of other matters or circumstances that also need to be accomplished.

Initially, I write or blog just to pass the time when I'm not working or just stay at home. And, I'm definitely not a pro blogger or something like that. However, when it comes to reading, I like to just read at home or sometimes in a cafe with a cup of great coffee by my side!

# Second...

Whenever I have my tea time. But, instead of having tea, I go for coffee! Maybe, I should call it coffee time instead of tea time? Or, coffee break instead of tea break? But then I think, either one is the same :)

There this funny habit of me actually, where I used to always love to having my coffee together with my "Osborne"!.. Actually, "Osborne" is a name of these plain and tasteless crackers that I really love to eat together with my coffee when I'm at home. I just don't know why, it just that it tastes so good with coffee!.. Really!

Anyway, that's when if only just me staying alone... But, with my mom, it turned out into a higher version!.. So, whenever I have tea time with my mom, things will be a little bit more upgraded.., because of her! With her, there'll be no "Osborne" for me. She'll go with her favourite local Asian exotic desserts instead, which are actually taste really delicious! She likes fried sesame balls, fried banana cakes, Ang Ku Kueh (Red Tortoise Cakes), steamed rice cakes, steamed layer cakes and many others of traditional Chinese desserts or cakes, that even I, myself really have no idea about...

So, whenever I'm back in my hometown, I'll always get to meet my mom's red tortoise which is my favourite too.., because of her!

# Third...

Most of the times, I'll having coffee whenever I'm eating outside or dining out with my brother. We both usually spend time together on weekends while having breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. I'll go with my usual coffee with milk and he'll go with his black coffee, so-called Americano style...

Well, it happens only in the weekends as we're not staying in the same house, and sometimes we seldom meet because of we both are working, busy and all... Thus, we only have free time and able to meet during weekends, or when I'm off duty during weekends too. And, able to having lunch after church on Sunday with him is just fine. And of course, sometimes there're lots of stories to talk about while we meet after we had not seeing each other for a long time.

# Fourth...

When it comes to my working time at the working place, I'll have coffee during my break at work. Usually, I join in with my other colleagues who also having their break in the pantry and, most of us will go for coffee!

I do feel that there this some sort of connections going on between us when there's coffee around and, after a while you'll sense that whole pantry will be filled with coffee aroma. Well, it's good to just have free time for a while and re-energize oneself before continue back to work again. It's the time to just spending time together, chit-chat to one another or just to relax. And believe me, you're going to really need that!.. That's all.

# Fifth...

So, the last one will be during my night duty. Well yes, whenever I'm working in night duty, there's a time I need coffee in the shift. Some people think that drinking coffee at night will make you stay awake?.. Well, maybe.., or maybe not... I think, it depends to each individual.

As for me, it doesn't make any difference although I would agree that my eyes started to falling down at around 2.00 am to 4.00 am, in the morning. And, I used to have my coffee during these chronic times as I need something to make me feel warm or keep me warm and also to keep me company at the same time. It's something like, my coffee is my only friend now during those hours :)

So, I guess that's it!.. My coffee's story all about!..

You may think it's just an ordinary coffee... Well yes, it is!.. But, when you see and realise about the things that happened surrounding it, it's more than just that coffee... Isn't it?
