I like the nice aroma of the coffee. It makes me feel refreshing. My office used to have a coffee maker, where we can make cappucino, coffee latte and espresso. I love cappuccino as it is less strong. I like espresso too but I avoid taking it most of the time as it is very strong. When someone makes a cup of coffee from the coffee maker, the whole office will be filled with the nice smell of coffee aroma. During that time, almost everyday I have to resist myself from drinking coffee everyday. It is hard to resist the nice coffee aroma. However since about 1 year ago the coffee maker has spoilt and I heard the cost of repairing it is not cheap. So company did not proceed to fix it and since then no more cappuccino or coffee latte for me, back to the 3-in-1 coffee mix. I usually take only 2 cups per week, when I feel like it. I don't have the habit and I'm also not addict to the coffee. I'm a Milo person actually. I must have a cup of Milo every morning in the office. And I can only take coffee with stomach full, so I will only drink it after lunch.
Lately I noticed that, I have difficulty falling asleep after taking a cup of coffee in the afternoon. I can even stay up to 3-5am in the morning. Argh! Is it a sign of aging? Sigh. It happened few times already. So my sleeping time for the past 2 weeks was being messed up. I think I should stop taking coffee for the time being.
Since no coffee, I switch to drink tea! One of my colleague told me, he drinks tea to stay awake. Tea is stronger than coffee. Coffee has no effect on him (sometimes I even saw him drinking black coffee. o_O) A friend suggested to me to drink tea with honey instead of sugar. So I went to buy a bottle of honey and I like it! And instead of Lipton tea, I drink rose tea. 5 roses and 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey for making 2 cups of tea. Sometimes I take 2 cups in the morning and another 2 cups after lunch. Sometimes I add with a pinch of lavender flower too. But I still prefer just honey and rose tea. The aroma from the roses is so refreshing. :)
