The Coffee Purge Reloaded: Day 5

So today I had coffee. Yes. Fine okay. I had a Monster drink last night and stayed up till 4am (Thursday, i.e. Wed night). Working. Okay, life's been a bit tough the past few days, but that's okay.

Today, I had a conversation with a friend about this coffee thing. We were at Seor Ak San - the best k-food place ever! And this time, two of the coffee police were there... and I didn't have much good news to report. One of the coffee police (Lorraine) mentioned how I should try to find a replacement. We were brainstorming for a bit, trying to find the root issue. But it's hard to replace coffee... It's so.... *sigh..

Then walking home, I was chatting with my brother (Jonathan). He showed me this drink called Milo. It's some malt / chocolate thing. It was quite tasty AND it's an "energy" drink. They sell it at Lucky Moose. It's also good value for money. So I'm going to give this a try. I'll let you know how long this keeps me off coffee.

So, to summarize: during Day 5 of the Coffee Purge Reloaded, Josh found Milo! Haha :)

First goal: make it through this weekend on Milo (and not coffee -- nor caffeine). Lots of water. Fruits. Good stuff. Then we'll worry about the week. Okay... fight!
