It is perhaps somewhat ironic that my first post in the 'kuppakopi' is composed while I, the self-confessed kopi addict, am sipping, not kopi, but green tea.

Let me explain myself.

Firstly, it's 7.50pm. Coffee-crazy as I am, I'd much rather choose a good night's sleep over a shot of the dark liquid. So you can say that I'm a kopi addict by morning-mid-afternoon, and tea lover by evening-night. Traitor? Whatever. I'd like to think the 2 drinks are not rivals, but complements. One energises, the other soothes. One shocks, the other calms. One's 'heaty', the other's 'cooling', yang-yin, etc etc, you get the point.

Secondly, my stomach's bloated. Nay, not from coffee (and I don't think it'll do much to alleviate the 'wind'). Not sure from what actually. It started yesterday, as I was heading to church. Felt like I was pregnant with a 4-month year old baby and experiencing way too premature birthing pains (thank goodness for baggy tshirts). The 'cramps' got pretty bad, so curled up in bed when I got home. Managed to sleep, but the pain was still there in the morning. PM drove me to see Dr L (one can never overappreciate a pastor), and I was told I was having a gastric attack. Humm I never got it so bad before though. Maybe partly due to the unprecedented stress I was having this week, leading to overactive gastric activity in the gut...

But well, all's good. Just means that I got to catch up on much needed rest, as well as finally get this blog up and running! Have been wanting to restart the posting activity ever since I came back from Sweden, but it's been so mad trying to get back into the ever fast-paced Singapore marathon that I need a gastric attack to slow down. Not good lah - must learn to prioritise and pace myself. Don't wanna be ineffective when the time becomes crucial...

Still, I'll say, IT IS WELL!
