Trouble deciding which coffee to order?

I am standing in front of the casher, staring at the menu, and answering “Err… Ar…”, to buy myself some extra time to read the list of coffee again. While there is a long line of people behind me, who I can feel their impatient, when some of them shake their legs, while the others extend their head to peek at me or lift their arms to check their watches. I am stressed and embarrassed on my indecisiveness. Eventually, I randomly order one that sound familiar to me.

This is the scene in the Coffee bean or Starbucks I have experienced by myself. Does the situation sound familiar to you also? I believe I am not alone, when it comes to the inability to tell the coffee apart.

I found that despite all their fancy name, in fact coffee actually only differ in two features which is the amount of milk and foam contained. Here is the list quote from wikihow.

•             If you want no milk at all, you want an Espresso.

•             If you want just a dab of foam, you want a Macchiato (mock-e-ah-to).

•             One part foam and one part milk is a 'Cappuccino'.

•             Mostly foam is a 'dry Cappuccino' and all foam is an "extra-dry cappuccino".

•             A lot of milk and a little foam is a latte.

•             A lot of milk and no foam is a flat latte.

•             A mocha is a latte with chocolate syrup.

•             Brewed coffee with steamed milk is a café au lait.

•             An Espresso with whipped cream is a Con Panne.

In short, i can summarized them into this Coffee specification table:

Type of coffee	Milk contained	Foam contain
Espresso	Nil	Nil
Macchiato	Nil	S
Cappuccino	S	S
Dry Cappuccino	S	SS
Latte	SS	S
Flat Latte	SS	Nil
Mocha	With chocolate syrup
Café au lait	With steam milk
Con Panne	With whipped cream

After we understand the type of coffee, it is time for us to shortlist a few coffee of our choice, in case if we could not memorize the list. Personally, i would like to have a latte or a mocha. I don't like the foam very much. In fact, having a coffee of choice not only save our face when giving order, but it also make us appeared more confident and man. So, this is a must for guys to look cool. Because, I believe almost every outing we face problem on what to eat. Thus, guys that able to decide is a sure turn-on for girls. 

Razer Orochi Gaming Mouse, Rm299

I wish I could eat less,
I wish there would be less day in this month,
I wish Malaysia Rm could be higher value in currency exchange,
I wish the above wishes could save me enough money to own a Razer Orochi gaming mouse.

The key-logger in my mind.

Intra-personal

Apparently, my fear to write still scare the hell out of me and keep me procrastinated for few days. Is it the willpower that has overwhelm my fear and to start writing now? No… Then what? Surprisingly, my loneliness and boredom has just initiated my writing spirit. I don't know how long can it go, but I hope it would build up my momentum.

I find it very hard to extract any funny portion or interesting story in my life to share. This might be another stumbling block or obstacle in my writing. I have nothing to write and share about. I have ever tried to analyze the roots of problem. The result is still unproven but could it be my dull personality. Or could it be that I have very few friends around me, thus I could not gain sufficient access and exposure to others’ hair-rising story and funny ramous. Either way, I just couldn't be funny and humorous enough to have gravity around me. Very often, i envy and admire (in a positive manner) people with strong enough gravity for both keeping old acquaintances and establishing new social networks.

Nothing Intra-personal

Recently I am looking for new gaming mouse with Rm200 budgets. What feature that I am looking for? Work on both wire and wireless. Laser tracking engine with at least 3000dpi. 2 or more macro enable-buttons, despite the 3 primary buttons. I consider these quite basic requirements for a mediocre gaming mouse. Razer Orochi, bleeding-edge of gaming mouse family turns out to be very compatible with my needs, however it worth Rm299, far beyond my affordability. A quite disappointing result. I did look for other alternatives. Apple magic mouse, Rm229 (affordable), but reviews said the top plastic panel can easily scratch and will be heart brokering if I happen to have one.

Also, one very fascinating phase that I have seen these few days, “Bleeding-edge of something”. I have try to use fit them in the above writing. I find it very funny because we used to say cutting-edge of technology, now bleeding-edge of technology is more that cutting-edge because, bleeding is more critical, it is not just simple cut, it has already cut and it is bleeding; IT IS BLEEDING. I hope you could experience my obsessed feeling over the phase bleeding-edge of technology. It is just beyond words.

Fresh new start

From today onward, I am going to start blogging. Others may ask why do I resume blogging all of a sudden for i have blogs that has already been abandon for months and years. For all my previous post I have been blogging about some books and article that might be interesting but they are all cut and past. I have been fear to write on personal staff in the past and even now. But today, I found a very Interesting book named Write To The Point in IS (Institute Sinaran) library. It said that we fear of writing because we are too perfectionistic and fear of others criticism. Indeed, I found the source of problem that keeps me procrastinating in my writing. No one is prefect, so why should I over concerned about the quality of my writings. For my entire life, perhaps I have written thousands of academic essays and scientific articles, but nothing personal. I guess that is why I could not communicate effectively through writing. So, now I’ll give my-self a chance to write for my own. To overcome the fear of writing.
Worries about my IELTS band is the second excuses I convince my-self to finally sit down to start typing.
Furthermore, living along as a nerd have much to share and have no one to share to. This is pathetic, but it is true.
At any rate all my blog would rather serve as personal diary and read at your own risk. I have no responsibility if any reader topples from the chair as he fall asleep from reading my dull blogs.
