Sunday..

Well I couldn't think of any other title for this post ^^

Today's Sunday. I had to wake up early as usual to attend the 7am mass at St Jude's. Mass usually ends by 8.10am since the next mass in Kannada starts around 8.15am. Sometimes i wish the timings for English and Kannada mass could be switched so i could wake up a bit late (heheh), or at least arrive early before the mass starts (sometimes i overslept and arrive only during the readings).

I like Sundays because I feel relaxed. Never mind that I have to wake up early - in fact, it may be the best way to start my Sunday with. I find the air fresh early in the morning, maybe because there's not much traffic.

Anyway, my friends and I usually go for breakfast (coffee!) somewhere after mass. Since it's only 8.30am, most shops are not open yet (napa la kedai sini pemalas?) so we have limited choices. Ahh i miss food and coffee shops back home! The shops there are open early for breakfast, and what scrumptious breakfast I've always had. Somehow, we still manage to find shops like Coffee Day in Bel Road (but it usually opens at 9am+, so we had to hang around at the ramaiah canteen or at the newspaper stall nearby before that). If we happen to go to Brigade Road (like today) then the choice would be Barrista since its the earliest shop open.

I love sitting in a coffee shop for breakfast on a Sunday morning ^^ Today I had Barrista's Mochallicious frappe. It was nice, with traces of mint. I took a picture of it, which I meant to upload earlier on, but i'm too lazy to transfer it from my camera to my laptop. Maybe i should get a camera phone eh? Easier and more convenient (grins).. Okay, I know it's a waste of money. I've a lot of things to save for - laptop, travel, "toys" (heheh, you probably are trying to figure out what it is huh?), and..the list goes on. Oh but of course, i also save just because - it's important to have savings right?

Oh yes, I love Sundays. After breakfast today we went gift hunting - my friend wanted to buy souvenirs and gifts for her family, so the hunt begins. She finally settled on some shawls, keychains and an expensive pair of cashmere pashmina for her parents' wedding anniversary ;p but that was a good buy, I agree. Later on, we had a chinese style buffet lunch - well it's closest we get to chinese food here huhuh. We were trying out a new shop. It was quite nice and I ate my fill (as a result I'm bloated til now). Then, we went home respectively to our pillows, laptops and YouTube :D Of course, I didn't go home empty-handed, I bought a sleeveless oversized top ("sigh"-you just had to bring something home, don't you shir***!)

So that's more or less how I spend my Sundays here - Mass, an outing, afternoon nap, some dose of YouTube..lately I enjoyed watching episodes of Family Outing, a korean variety show, very funny. I could spend more than an hour watching them (good stress buster but bad for the eyes heheh). Maybe I'll have a separate post for that with a link to one of my favourite episodes ^^ Now I've to prepare for classes tomorrow urghh...

Til I write next. Have a great week! (Praying she's able to keep her enthusiasm for the rest of the week)

Coffee!!

I can't drink coffee anymore. At least not as much as I wanted to.

Actually, I shouldn't drink it at all if I am to avoid staining of the ceramic plates, which I have to bear with for the next 1 year or so. However, avoiding coffee totally is impossible for me. Totally impossible, especially my favourite frappe with whipped cream and chocolate sauce (drooling). Now that's a sinful indulgence, in this case, literally.

I've decided. I'll take mocha instead. At least it's not 100% coffee right? (^.^)
