Café Nova - Café Latte was a “thank you” gesture from Fran who slept on my bed on the eve of her departure to Singapore. When I got back from a very long vacation, I found it buried neath my blanket together with the note that said “thanks”.Café Nova is a specialty coffee produced by Super Coffeemix Manufacturing Ltd, the packet said. It contains freeze dried ground Arabica coffee beans, non dairy creamer, glucose to taste and none of those cancer causing sweeteners. The moment the mixture is dissolved in water, an aroma suggestive of a coffee brewing permeates the kitchen (the living room and the toilet as well). The taste is not far behind. It has a faintly bitter taste of a newly steeped freshly ground coffee which is tempered by a small portion of cream and sugar just enough to taste. It’s my favorite instant coffee now.
“The Perks of Being a Wallflower” on the other hand is a gift from Mae Grace, which she sent through the post together with 2 CDs of “Defective Mix” and one of “David Sedaris live in Carnegie”. It is my favorite book because…it’s a Charlie-esque thing to say J I kind of like the style of how the story was told. I haven’t read anything written that way before (like I have never read an autobiography as well written as Roald Dahl’s was). It starts with a “Dear Friend” and ends with “Love, Charlie”. It’s very personal. I don’t think I can be that personal even if I am confident that nobody would be interested to read my journal. My style borders to being cryptic that even I could sometimes not understand the real thing behind the words I’ve penned. Charlie’s growing pains though is a bit overrated than most people I know, including myself. He’s a tough one to have gotten out of the long, dark tunnel; scathed but very much alive and resolved to “participate”. My conclusion is, “Do not over task you mind. Better yet, get involved.”
