Coffee, Tea or Teeth
My love affair with coffee started since I was eight from sipping my parents' coffee mug. Not the "atas" read: high class coffee-maker expresso kind but the coffee-powder-found-in-provision-shop kinda expresso. My mom makes a good and just-thick-enough kampung expresso brew. Not too bitter, not too sweet.
My taste has develop to either coffeshop kopi (with condensed milk) or Starbucks mocha. No ice please. My day gets a kickstart when I *hmm*~~ smell the great scent of coffee. Woh, I love that smell. Perks me up real good!
The only time I laid off coffee for a good five years was when vanity got the better of me. I decided to put on those ugly braces when I was a chubby fifteen year old. Why not? I thought I could slim down since I couldn't really bite and voila, my teeth would just be in time for me to meet boys in university.
Being fed with lotsa horror stories from my braces-sistas gang *lotsa girls wore braces in girls' school then* on yellowing teeth from drinking colored drinks while wearing braces, I decided to suppress and overhaul my physical senses. I had a girlfriend whose mom fed her with orange juice every morning while wearing braces and till today, she is still blaming her mom for her straight but terribly yellowed pearlies. Umm... from what I see, really quite yellowish leh...
So for those five years, NO colored drinks. From orange juice to coca-cola and yes, I even ended my love affair with coffee. But you see, I am quite vain and thinks it's really a worthy sacrifice. *smiles widely for all to see*
These days, embittered by my church mice corporate lifestyle, coffee once again, proves to be my antidote to stress-related wrinkles. Though I take care to maintain my only-one-cup-per-day policy, by and by, my teeth seems lightly tinge. Or am I paronoid? Mr. Gecko makes matters worse by teasing me whenever I showed him my evil sneer with "EEEE... yellow teeth"... though his own vampire-like teeth is even more stained than mine from drinking teh-si.
Oh dear... it's been on my mind for weeks to avoid the coffeeshop behind my office building.
It's time for the big crunch again. It's either coffee or my teeth. I've decided my teeth comes first, tomorrow.
