Caffeine and me...
In the past few months, I have been resorting to caffeine to get me through each day. Not surprisingly, my MBA programme also started around that time as well as other more 'welcome' distractions =)
I personally dislike caffeine in all forms. Anything that has the potential to rob me of my beauty sleep should be shunned and avoided like the plague! If I remember correctly, I only tasted my first cup of coffee at the age of 17 during preparation for my SPM exam.
I was forewarned by my mother that this exotic beverage would cause me to stay awake at night but I insisted in order to gain precious study time. I still remember my first taste of this bitter concoction otherwise known as 'coffee'..
It was around 9pm at night and I was desperate to finish my Biology revision. All the diagrams of the various parts of the human anatomy were beginning to cause my eyelids to droop. It was out of wanton panic that I decided to resort to the caffeine-rich beverage.
The taste was very strong as I decided to take it 'black' for maximum effect. It was akin to drinking chinese bitter tea! But to cut a long story short, I was completely energized and managed to pull an all nighter to finish my revision. Never mind that I was so tired and lethargic the following day, I slept pretty much the whole afternoon and evening =P
These days, I only consume this dreaded beverage when I absolutely have to. Mostly at work, where I can't afford to be sleepy. I certainly hope that my body will begin to adapt to the reduced hours of sleep so that I can begin to wean myself off coffee. Wish me luck!
