Wide-eyed

It's now 2.30am and I'm still here, bright and alert and feeling homesick. I should be feeling tired after preparing for the steamboat 'party' earlier on but I'm not. It must be all that coffee I'd drunk in the day (more than my usual intake). There's still Christmas shopping to be done and Christmas tree to get (we only have a table top one since we'd spent X'mas in Singapore the past 2 years). Everywhere's having a sale. It is very unsual at this time of the year. Businesses are in administration (including Woolworths!!! and MFI). I wonder how long will the credit crunch last.

Oh dear.... feeling homesick? Hope you feel much better today *hugs*

(Note to yourself : DRINK LESS COFFEE next time!) On another note, I found that I have allergic reaction to coffee/caffeine.

And yes, WOolies under administration - I love shopping there though, hope they will weather this.

Thanks, Tsu Lin!

Actually tea and coffee don't keep me awake. Don't know what happened yesterday. What's your reaction like? I can't drink caffeinated coffee. If not I will feel bloated for a long time and don't feel good.

Caffeine reaction :
Yes, as you desribed, bloated n sick. But it gets worse, I can get cold sweat & low BP (so I will have to lie down). Oh, how I hate it!! Once I took this pill for cold and it contained caffeine.... I had 2 wait it out for 3 hours - so excruciating.

Wah so fast you reply. Hehe!

So we have the same reaction. Have you tried decaffeinated coffee? I drink that and *touch wood*, no problem leh.

Ooh.. I never really tried it because I could live without it (you know M'sians live on Milo? Milo babies!!)...

But I found a fantastic tea with 99% less caffeine (it says) which I love! It tastes like Teh Tarik (pull-tea) but minus the caffeine?? HEHEHE... I had it 1st time today, but somehow I had bloatedness... but could it be the chilli i eat just TOO MUCH these days?? LOL.
