Back in Penang, either my mom or aunty would make a pot of coffee every morning. I think they are still using cloth filters that looks something like this. For as long as I remember, I've always loved the smell of coffee but it took quite a few years to feel the same about its taste. It was too easy to sneak a few sips so I eventually did it... and was filled with disappointment! "How can something smell so nice yet taste so bad?" So coffee was in the same category as lip balm (blueberry) for a while.
Latte, cappuccino mocha, long black, short black, flat white etc etc.. Two years ago, I'd think long and hard about which one I should try. I'm only used to hearing people order Kopi O or Kopi Peng! LOL. Although I still find the coffee list rather confusing, I now know what I want to have. Ooh, I could also roughly explain what affogato and macchiatto is. When I was working as a waitress, I had hoped for my boss to get a proper coffee machine in her restaurant so I could learn some cool barista skills.I doubt she gave it much thought! Oh well, someday I'll get an espresso machine with a steamwand so I can make pretty latte. Haha, someday!

As a kid, the question of why the adults enjoy drinking coffee, eating vegetables and watching news on tv have always puzzled me. Now I feel all grown up :P
I guess it's a good time to end the post. The cat has just gone onto my lap.. kitty love time! :3
