I'm such a lousy blogger. I didn't keep track of my days without coffee so I can't describe them in meticulate details.

However, I can blame it on my deprivation from coffee.

so there you go. another amazing discovery. withdrawal from cofffee symptoms includes memory blackout. you saw it first on lilihonghong.blogspot.com

people's been complaining my blog has been picture-deprived lately. isn't that a good thing?? that means I'm less vain, less self-absorbed and less of a camwhore!

hee! okok, here are some pictures "for the sake of it"

doesn't look like me right? Wei Jie photoshop-ed my wrinkly chin. Guess li hong aint li hong without her granny-like wrinkly chin when she attempts to frown.

look how happy and radiant i look? ahahaha.

like i said, i can't remember. seriously.

ok. I remember my first day at work. I was eyeing the instant white coffee in the pantry all day long. should i? should i not? it's like voices debating within myself. no, i don't have schizophrenia.

I even smsed my boyfriend that "I miss coffee"

He's been a darling as always, checking if I'm alright without my coffee and pulling me back when I was "this" close to giving up.

If I were him, I'll go like "Shut up already! You've been complaining about your stupid coffee for the past few days. If you want it so much, just have it and shut up!"

hey. i sound like i hate myself. LOL.

although I still craved for coffee on Day 3, the withdrawal symptoms were slowly diminishing.

Only had headache on the first day and that's it.

Oh. and here's an embarrassing fact. coffee makes me shit better. (oi! stop laughing la)

so. erm. yea.

without coffee, i'm a bit...constipated. (what?! never got constipated before issitt)

but...fruits and vege and lotsa lotsa fibre can solve that.

That's all for the uphill struggle.

Now, let's talk about the downhill breeze.

The part where I go..."hey it's worth it after all"

With Coffee : I'll be a morning person. Hyper when everyone is blur in the morning but by afternoon I'll be damn blur.

Without Coffee : not that much of a morning person but no longer grumpy without my morning coffee. Basically, my biological clock has returned to its original state --> a teenager's one. You know how it's proven teenagers are more alert at night.

With Coffee : sometimes I feel like I'm on a caffeine overdrive, my mind's alert and buzzing on caffeine but I don't really have that state of serenity to focus.

Without Coffee : maybe it's psychological, maybe it's not but I feel like I can learn things faster without coffee because my mind isn't all over the place and jumping around like an energizer bunny.

Just to clarify things. I'm not going to deprive myself from coffee for a lifetime. I still like coffee. I like the experience of sipping a hot mug of mocha while chatting with friends or reading a book.

I like the occasional jolt of heightened awareness.

What I'm trying to do is get rid of my dependency on coffee.

So don't ever exclude me from any coffee outings k?

coffee. eventhough our relationship didn't work out, we'll still be friends k?

Conclusion?

Project Tak Nak Coffee is a SUCCESS!

I'm gonna reward myself with Starbucks! =P
