good morning
July 7, 2010Sleeping late, waking up early; obviously I need some pick-me-ups in the morning.
Coffee doesn’t do it for me because I don’t take caffeine. Not voluntarily though because I actually get headaches from caffeine. Sometimes I get jealous seeing my colleagues gulp down a big cup of coffee and instantly light up. What’s in that magic drink?!
Sigh, you guys have it so easy, you coffee lovers.
Some days are just sleepy days where you just want to sleep in a little longer. But life doesn’t work like that! You need to suck it up and postpone your sleepiness to go on with your daily life. In order to stay awake during these kind of days, I have to constantly amuse myself.
Like putting on loud music while I get ready for work in the morning. I’m still not tired of Justin Bieber for some miraculous reason.
Or take a cold shower!
Or looking for bird’s nests outside my window…it’s really sad that I was so happy to snap this photo.
Or forcing celery juice down my throat every morning…it’s really good for health. Tastes horrible but just tell yourself it’s Coke! Or just do it my style; pinch your nose shut and just gulp it down in one shot.
That’s Opah there if it’s not obvious enough. I know some of you have requested for Opah stories, but to be honest she’s been really boring these days. Yawn. But really, someone needs to tell her that ridiculous beanie has GOT to go!! She won’t listen to me. She looks like a swimmer, all she needs is some goggles.
But the best pick-me-up was a few weeks ago when I came down to see this freakishly large fruit.
I was so amused. Jakun a bit.
Had to rub my eyes to make sure it wasn’t just my groggy eyes that were messing with my brain.
The nangka (or cempedak…WHATEVER!) was as big as the table!! 2 people had to carry it and it was really funny watching them cutting the fruit open. Unfortunately, the actual fruit inside wasn’t the best I’ve tasted. See, less is more!
Anyway, what gets YOU excited in the morning?
patut la kulit cantik… sbb minum celeri jus ke? I’ll grab a cuppa of coffee evry mrg.. Is am must for my eyes and brain..
haha. i have to say, i agree with the justin bieber part. “baby, baby” has been my wake up call. works everytime. i still haven’t figured out why.oh, btw, try chocolate shot in the morning. i got sugar high from it and terus celik mata!
seriously need a big cup of coffee now! RUSHING assignment. sobsob='(.. hmmm.. celery juice! Will consider it. maybe the taste will make me awake. haha
what gets me excited in the morning?? hmm. breakfast. =) I like the feeling that i’m being healthy and all that. ooh exercising! happy stuff!
celery juice? ewww…i only eat celery with spaghetti bolognese…hehe!
shud try la…
I normally add an apple together with celery into the juicer. That makes it so much more drinkable.
I get headache when I drink coffee too. Nescafe gives me the worst headache (sorry to all the Nescafe fans out there). But according to my dad, it’s because off-the-shelf coffee have a lot of other stuff in there. It’s not pure coffee. So he buys his own coffee beans, fry them on his own and then grind them to make coffee powder. His coffee does not give me headache. 🙂 Maybe u can try this method… Or to make it easier, buy pure coffee powder…
What about tea? Tea has some caffeine too
Oh, and I like peach. So beside my bed there is this peach air-freshener. And I like waking up to sweet smelling citrus-like smell. It’s refreshing!
Or if you have a dream, do a visual or it and stick it beside your bed or above your bed. When you open your eyes in the morning, you see it and get excited to work towards it… eg. Dream: to be a millionaire. Visual: RM10 note with a few added zeros behind / Dream: a big house with swimming pool. Visual: a picture of it
Ok, I think I’ve made a very long comment… Hope that helps 🙂
as lame as it sounds, i get excited when i saw that you’ve updated your blog. lame right? hihi
cempedak?? OMG! thats so yummy..
sis viy’s opah is so cute with dat beanie..heheheeh!
So, I suppose you know how to cut open a cempedak now?
OMG!So big!
@Moose: I get excited too! HAHAHAHA
I get headaches when I drink ANYTHING containing caffeine – coffee, tea, CHOCOLATE – yup. My very kuno theory is that dia buat badan kita panas so it tightens our urat hence the sakit kepala.
I drink RedBull or Livita on my drive to work. Oh, and listen to head-bangin’ rock on the stereo \m/^.^\m/
me too!tak boleh minum coffee.sakit kepala..
erm,as for me,talk on the phone with my bf will get me excited every morning =)
a cigarette. unfortunately. and music.
and you should really give coffee a go, get good beans and soon, you’ll be addicted.
HAHA your finishing sentence is just too dodgy! 😛
