Coffee

I had my first sip when I was 8 or 9 years old. It was Grandma's plain black coffee; Kopi kampung. I shared with grandma's and I thought it was intense, bitter and sweet but nice.

Then 3 in 1 drinks were popular in the 2000s. I had nescafe when I was in high school. Apart from that, hipster coffee shops were increasing in number. The first cafe that I ever went to was Mode Cafe at Wisma Merdeka. At that time, I was only 16😏. Then we often visited ctbl for coffee and hyatt for the coffee & cakes.

I started working in the late 2000s. That's when everything was attainable. With a monthly salary 'cukup-cukup makan', I was still able to have the taste of cofea arabica. Starbucks was first opened at warisan square and that was also when I started to appreciate coffee. It is undeniably true that I may love Starbucks because of the psychographic attack of its successful marketing strategy, but I must also say that the coffee is really good. Americano and cafe latte; these are the only two that I would order interchangeably.

As of now, I have many sips almost every morning to kick-start my day.  Coffee is the pursuit of happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Coffee -> happiness -> success 😁

Well, let put it this way.

The thing you love -> happiness -> success

While writing this, I'm at KLIA waiting for my morning flight. Just had my latte at McD with a friend that I just met. Now I am looking forward for sahur 🤓

Gudetama!

Just arrived home. 

Working at the lab today and yes today is a public holiday for all Malaysian.. yeah~ 😀😁but I didn't realize 😔 that I need to run and read the result on a public holiday 10 days ago 😯. 

I missed the holiday again. 

Nevertheless, everything seems to be on the right track, Alhamdulillah and hopefully will be able to proceed smoothly. Right after work, I went for a self-care shopping spree at watson 💚💛💜.

On my way home, I saw a young lady with a 'Gudetama' pin-up button on her backpack. 

Gudetama. 

Egg in many forms, boiled, fried and raw.

A Japanese character hatched in 2013. 

Known for its apathetic attitude that one can relate in real life in any sort of encounter. 

Cute but annoying to watch however once indulged, can't get enough. 

Consists of a short anime series with each episode last approximately one-minute. 

Light and easy anime; suitable for those with a hectic lifestyle and too tired and lazy to think 😇

To get more of this character, you can start streaming HD @ Youtube : Gudetama all episode. 

Well work is done, let's Gude-gude :) 

Gaja 가자 !

Study vs Work

When I accepted the offer to do Bsc (Biotech), I was clueless. Three years. And then I got a job offer. This was when everything starting to make sense. Applicability of knowledge. Knowing is not good enough.

When we were at the university, often than not, we learn things we have never seen or do. The knowledge becomes too overwhelming thus when it comes to execution, it is not as simple as answering the final exam even though you study well. Understand well will basically get you closer to the solution, however to make it work, most of the time you need to think out of the box.

So when you decide to do any degree, be committed; learn, unlearn & relearn; do, undo & redo.

がんばろう
