Watashi wa Kohii ga Dai Suki Desu!

It's unhealthy when taken too much, i know. But i'm already addicted to coffee before i even knew it...

I realized this addiction one day after feeling so desperate for a cup of coffee out of stress at home. It made me feel like i couldn't survive the rest of that day when i found out that i had no more coffee packets left in my Coffee Box. I was feeling so down - never have i thought i would ever feel this way for an absence of but simply coffee. Apparently coffee has a strong impact in my life and that i've relied on coffee way too much to survive a day.

Coffee is everything that i ever care for that brilliantly fits my busy schedule - coffee is my 'favourite way of kick-starting the day', my most preferred way of calling the day a night, my most desired drink before and after hockey, AND an accommodating and au courant way of surviving lectures, hanging out with friends, doing assignments, and keeping warm.

And because i hang out with friends almost EVERYDAY, i work on assignments OFTEN, plus i keep myself warm ALL THE TIME, i find it rather hard to excuse myself from drinking less cups of coffee a day, and emphasizing on having 8 glasses of water each day instead in order to stay healthy!

And when i talk about coffee, i don't mean just coffee - at home, it has to be my favourite Indocafe Instant Coffee Mix (3 in 1). It's not that easy getting them here in Hobart. Most of the time i would have to bring them with me from Singapore whenever i leave for Tas. Here, i could only top up my supply shortage from an Asian shop in a town far from home :( Yet whenever i'm out, i prefer Cappuccino from outlets such as Hudson's Coffee (now that there is such a thing as Hudson's in Hobart!).

And talking about cafe outlets, my all-time favourite coffee outlet Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is rare here in Australia - while Singapore has 39 Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf outlets all scattered around the island, Australia has only 4 in total, and all are located in Victoria. Sounds ridiculous? Let me explain, Australia is, on one hand, going anti-commercial cafe (from the look of it!), but on the other, maintaining the Australian-ness through its own authentic coffeeshops!! Salute to Australia.
