Milk, Alcohol, and Something Else

Two days ago I opened my bottle of Baileys with the plan of sharing it with the whole family. Then my mother refused to drink. Today my father went to Jakarta.

What? I got an opened bottle with only myself to drown into? Personally the bottle cost me about Sing$30 so there is no way I'm going to waste it.

So I drink it. In as many ways as possible.

Here are the result of my 2 days of experiment:

*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Milk = Good for a good night's sleep.
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Chocolate Milk = Too sweet. Must be drank cold.
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Tea = Teh tarik with alcohol? Not bad.
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Coffee = Almost perfect. I hope I got those coffee bits to add. Must be drank cold.
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Brownies = Kids like it.
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Ferrero Rocher = Not enjoyable.
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Baskin Robbin's Cookies and Cream = Nice, but too sweet.
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Baskin Robbin's Royal Chocolate = Almost perfect.

My best combination ever!
*Baileys Coffee Caramel + Avocado + Baskin Robbin's Royal Chocolate + Ferrero Rocher = Paradise.
Note: count the calories.

Only 3/4 litre more to go...

Unstable Wave

Damn. It's happening again.

Yesterday I've got nothing I wanted to do.
Today there are too many things I wanna do.

There are countries to visit.
Photos to edit.

Homework
Blog
Fitness target
Baileys to drink
Books to read
Movies to catch up

My observation tells me it always happens every couple of months. Ideas pouring like flood I know I cannot write them all. When it happens suddenly life becomes a game of race.

Yeah. Motivation comes when you least expect it.

However, usually the result is typical - less sleep for me.

Bad for muscle growth.

Shut up. Maybe it is because I'm blood type O? But I'm a Phlegmatic, so...

Haven't you got THINGS to do? Homework, blog, fitness target...

Okay, OKAY! Time to work then...

Car Security

Yesterday someone broke into my car. Here is the story.

So yesterday I got back from college really late. It was 8 o' clock at night, and it was already dark. I walked to my car, Toyota Yaris, which was parked at Saraga. After I saw my Yaris, I opened the lock, and got in.

After I got in, I knew something was wrong. The driver seat was set close to the steering wheel. You see, I am 185 cm tall and I always set my seat as far as possible from the steering wheel. That night, someone OTHER THAN ME has entered my car and changed the seat position.

Shit. Someone broke into my car. Okay, don't panic. Think.

Question: What is the most logical thing to do when you realize someone broke into your car?
Answer:
1. Lock the door. Done.
2. Check if something is missing.

I saw that the tape was still there. Good. Then I checked the drawer. There were still some CD's and books there. Another good news. But something is not right. Why would someone enter my car, screw around (he changed the seat position) and steal nothing? I thought maybe he was looking for something in my car when I arrived. Then he panicked and ran away.

Sounds logical.

I'm lucky then.

Time to go home.

That time I was thirsty. I sent my left hand to reach the bottled water I put in the center of the car when I was driving to college. But instead my hand touched something else. It was not bottled water. It was an empty cup water. Then something hit my mind.

What if---the bad guy who entered my car is still in my car-sitting behind me silently to strangle me from behind? That sounds LOGICAL too right?

No. I was alone. I looked around, and no one is behind me.

Enough. Time to go home.

...

My key did not fit.

What? I got out of the car, and immediately I realized the whole story.

It was NOT my car. It was the same Toyota Yaris but it was not mine. My car is several meters away from the one I got in. I got in the wrong car because the owner seems to have FORGOTTEN to LOCK his car.

What a coincidence! An identical car was parked near mine and the owner forgot to lock his.

He forgot to lock his car! What a smart guy. And an even smarter guy who entered the wrong car and didn't realize it.

~Sigh~! Time to go home.
