Coffee addict
Are you one of the coffee addict? I'm!
I can't remember when i started addicted to coffee, if i remember correctly it should be after i started working. We used to have group breakfast in the company cafeteria and there were time i ordered myself the coffee or sometimes i got it from the vending machine. One of my aunt is also coffee addict, she told me that a day without a coffee will make her headache...haha, that's really funny. For me, i only limit myself to a cup of coffee a day because i realise too much caffeine are no good. Well, i think most people know that caffeine not only exist in coffee but also other foods like chocolate and soft drinks like Coke/Pepsi..etc.
Where's the world most expensive coffee? Not from Brazil or Jamaica, but it is from Indonesia! In Indonesia, there is this animal called Common palm civet (Kopi luwak is the local name). The civet eats the raw red coffee beans and then digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, while leaving the inner beans intact. Then it excretes them. The most expensive coffee beans can go to up to $700/pound or $60/cup. OMG, that's too much for me, i think i better go with my regular Nescafe or Starbuck will do.
I found this from the internet about the coffee addict quiz test, you may wanna try to see if you fall into that category. The link as below:
http://www.allthetests.com/quiz03/dasquiztd.php3?testid=1035481906
My score is 38 points, and it says:
21-40 points: The Average Coffee Drinker You drink coffee in the way an average person does. Three cups a day is a maximum, if you go over that caffeine can cause all those nasty things, right? You have a healthy relationship with coffee.

Feeling
“When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.”
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”
“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”
“Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.”
~ From Buddha quotes ~

Blessings
Certain of our blessings can never change. The important things of life will not perish. In whatever brave new world emerges from this chaos, homes will be created, good deeds will be done and sacrifices will be made. God will be reverently worshipped in many a church and chapel. Hospitals, libraries and colleges will be organized and endowed. The greatest things will endure - faith, hope and love, and the moral nature in man. - Claude M. Fuess

Typhoon Megi coming
Typhoon Megi, believes to be the strongest typhoon for the year is expected to come. It has cleared Philippines and now heading to China. I read the news last night that the typhoon has damaged the rice crops in Philippines badly, oh poor. I just ran the weather forecast and seems Shenzhen will be affected between 21~23 Oct, so likely there will be heavy downpour.
Weather is less hot these days, at night there's always windy and i think we are soon approaching autumn. I really wish it comes sooner.

Amazing!
Amazingly i can access to blogspot today, haha....today must be a lucky day i guess.
I think i last blogged in May, that was during our trip to Singapore. Now is Oct, it has already been 5 months, a lot of things happens and many changes. For instance, Rachel has already enrolled to kindergarten for nearly 2 months, and we just back from Malaysia for our regular home visit last week. Brought my mum and mother-in-law back with us and they gonna stay here till mid Jan next year i guess, a long stay for both them. These 2 old ladies are "problematic" for me, my mum is typical poor memory, the thing i told/show her today she would forget about it tomorrow, but she is good in cooking and house chores. My in-laws on the other hand is typical potato couch, she would rather sit on the couch the entire day to watch tv and keep to herself.
We were in HK yesterday to visit Dino's newborn baby, she is so lovely, if i remember her name correctly then it should be Alexis, 6.6 pounds. She sleeps almost the whole day when we were there, just wake up for milk feeding then she continue her sleep...haha, very lovely. Looking at her made me think of what Rachel was like when she was just born. I forgot to snap a photo of the baby, too bad.

Happy Mother Day!
Happy Mother Day to all the mothers!
Today is the 2nd day we are in Singapore, all three of us woke up pretty late this morning around 11am...hehe. After we get ready to go out, our first stop was scheduled to be in Orchard Road for lunch and shopping. Today is Sunday + Mother Day, so Orchard Road is filled with people walking around, very crowded. Our lunch was set to be in TGIF, the food are food, i hate my all time favourite Salmon Pasta, while hubby has California Club, and Rachel too has her own kid's meal ~ Fish & Fries. After we checked the bills, the waiter serve us 2 small cups of icecreams (caramel & moccha) and we were like surprised because we didnt order the dessert. She was telling this is complimentary for the mother as today is Mother Day....ohhhhh...how sweat and surprise....hehe, i like it!
After food we stopped at Paragon for some shopping, i didnt get myself anything but we got Rachel a few things. I just mainly walked into a few stores like Longchamp, Coach..etc to check on the prices to see if it will be good bargain to get them in Singapore, but likely not. May be i should wait till the duty free shopping at Changi Airport on Tues.
After shopping we were heading to Sentose Island for fun and games. We were late so we only have around 2 hours to get around so we decided to explore Universal Studio because that should be more enjoyable for Rachel. We have really enjoyed ourselves with some fun games like Dino, car rides, horse riding...etc. Before we back we managed to snap photo together with one of the cartoon character "Woody woodpecker" but Rachel was so terrified and reluctant.
We back to hotel for change and shower before heading out for dinner, we walked around and finally we choose the Korean food for dinner, the food serving portion are huge thus we are damn full. Oh i am feeling guilty again :(
Photos to be uploaded tmr, is tiring today....hehe
