Yet another damn weird quite endearing quirk about me…


I prefer cheapo instant coffee compared to the real stuff. (and im not talking about the price)

When it comes to cappuccino’s, espresso’s, affogato’s, whachumacallit’s and etc’s – I have to be reallyyy careful. ‘Cause most of them are too strong for me, giving me a crazy buzz and/or a headache. Meh.



In my kitchen: Nescafe regular, Aik Cheong regular, Aik Cheong Kopi-O, Carrefour regular (wtf), Milo, tea, etc.


Damnn, is my entire family hooked onto caffeine or what -_- and we like variety.

Nescafe 3-in-1 is my favourite :)
Yellow Aik Cheong occasionally because it’s fun to drink with its milky yummy goodness, but lousy and cannot wake me up.
Kopi-O is my parents’, I’ve never tried because there’s no milk or creamer in it :(
Carrefour brand also my parents’, I’ve never tried because….. dude. come on.
But my parents have been trying to convert me from Nescafe to Carrefour because it’s stronger. (and perhaps cheaper.)


While now I refer to it as my morning fix, my coffeelove,
I still find it amazing that just a few years ago, I used to effing HATE coffee.
Couldn’t stand the horrible bitter taste, or even the smell. ugh.
Heck, even mocha cake! I can’t believe I missed out on Tiramisu’s for over 18 years!!!

Quite endearing food quirk #2,

It’s funny how I can’t eat normal food like bread or milk,

But I sure love eating snails.

Best disgusting-looking food ever.

And you wanna know something else that’s disgusting? This entire post was inspired and drafted in my head when I got home from dinner tonight and I let out a mini burp, and I could smell/taste/sense/eww-haha the cheesy garlic-covered escargot all over again *shy heee*


…..oh, and yea I’m quite fond of that guy in the picture too :) Mmmn. yummy.
