The Danger of (NOT) Procrastinating
Oh my.....The cup of tea I made this morning sits cold and untouched. It seemed only a few moments ago that it was made.
A little water in a kettle to boil, a little clean cup to stand, a little tea bag from a box marked 'Earl Grey.' The kettle boiled, I filled the cup, then tended to other matters.
Now, I am left with a cold cup of something that looks strangely like coffee and a strange, un-coffee-like aroma, asking...
'...just WHERE does time go these days?'

must tune the computer up there to do multi-tasking or a have a stronger stomach for experienced tea...
Time does flie doesn't it...
You never know where's it gone
I never knew where my time is either...
How good is it that we can just sit and drink for a moment leaving everything behind...
SF: Welcome back! I once drank 'experienced tea' accidentally... on an empty stomach. It was a very uncomfortable experience. ;P
ZI: *red carpet and firecrackers for zeroimpact*
Sitting and drinking to pass the time is OK: that's what's supposed to happen. But this is one of those days where it feels like everything is moving so slowly... everything except the time.
And then, once at home, time seems to speed up even more! Aiyoo....
time really flies...
just like.. today is already 14th August 2006
Seems like I just celebrated new year 2006 not long ago..
hello too! ;)
I am also asking that very question. Its all a blur... *zoom here and there and everywhere*
Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
One i left my coffee in the plunger for 2.5 hours, when the usual steeping time is about 3 minutes. It came out cold, extremely strong, and worse of all, acidic. I'm very careful now.
mine just whizzes by when I'm having fun, and crawls like a snail when I'm not. and my coffee hardly stays hot long enough for me to sip it slowly... why ah?
My mama says... (real wan, no pray-pray wan)... if u feel that time flies, it just means u r getting old liao...
Uh huh... mama sometimes doesn't mince her words wan... :)
So, what to do?
Most important, appreciate what we have in life...
Adoi... why I tok so the liuliu wan??
*brings out 2 mugs (or more if anyone else is interested*
*fills up the electric kettle*
*switches it on*
*takes out a box of Earl Grey from the cabinet*
*waits for the water to boil*
*meanwhile... go blog hopping first*
:D
do what I do, forget about the tea, just go to Starbucks and ask for a cup of the Brew of the Day..
Where time always go..... which is wherever you happen to be at the moment...:P
chen: Yes! Worse, I just noticed that it's been more than a year since I started, and nearly a year since Delima Kasih 'officially opened.'
*watch lil' joy take hammer and hit nail on head*
SA: Oh dear... Looking at photos is a sure way of ending up with seefei's experienced tea, but I can't wait!
LC: Fruit flies do like a banana. They also like apples, oranges....
Three-hour coffee? O.O
may: Might be the kettle doesn't boil hot enough? But I do know what you mean. I only wish I was having fun..... Grrrr.....
angel: You suggesting I getting old liao, izit? Look! Kettle boiled oredi!
*more mugs, more tea*
OI! Who wants Earl Greyy?!?!
LB: That is a very good idea, and exactly what I did at the end of the day... except it was a White Mocha. Mmm... chocolate.....
FF: AR! I know oredi! You are the Siu Lei Fei Tou on LaoChen's blog! But why you all talk so deep-deep wan, ar?
*pegnsan*
Ya, WTG, plinki!!!! Yup yup chup!
and I notice I have more & more grey/white hair :(
*sob*
As the song goes...time flies when you are having fun.... - You must be having loads of fun then ;)
Time...
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand watching sea birds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Already we are into the eight month of the year...and before you know it, another round of feasting during DeepaRaya and Christmas/New Year...
LB: Chocolate and coffee, two of my favourite things. How could I say 'no' to a mocha? And a white chocolate mocha at that? ;)
chen: Where got grey/white hair? When I asked my friends about mine, they said 'Nolah. That wan is the glow of health....' :P
DBW: Wakaka!! If only I was having as much fun as that! If only....=D
kat: Yes, I'm looking forward to the holidays too. o.O at song.... Strange, how that hits the nail on the head too.... ;)

FF: o.O Everywhere also you pengsan... I wonder if doctor has a cure....

Kopi makes u sleepy???

Liddat oso can???
I just realise that I lim kopi nearly everyday! Last time not liddat wan... sei loh... addicted to liuliu kopi???
Wa suka mocha! Ichiban sukak!
ZI: Yah, sometimes catching time is like that Lat cartoon if a family trying to chase down a chicken: riuh sekampung and sometimes, strangely great fun....
If time stood still... I think someone who comes by occasionally might have a good answer for us.
LaoChen! Could you explain what might actually happen if time stood still, please?
*sitting attentively at desk*
angel: Mocha is so very-the-nice! Psst... if I want to stay awake, I have to drink strong coffee or tea instead
Wahahaha
I believe if time stood still it would be very boring... or may be like you are too fast for time, then you'd be like hilang from the face of the earth
LOL

angeliu,
The name of that song is 思念誰 by 巫啟賢
你知不知道
思念一個人的滋味
就像喝一杯冰冷的水
然後用很長很長的時間
一顆一顆流成熱淚
你知不知道
寂寞的滋味
寂寞是因為思念誰
你知不知道
痛苦的滋味
痛苦是因為想忘記誰
你知不知道
忘記一個人的滋味
就像欣賞一種殘酷的美
然後用很小很小的聲音
告訴自己堅強面對
你知不知道
你知不知道
你知不知道寂寞的滋味
寂寞是因為思念誰
