Coffee or Tea?

During the finals week, you'll see the sight of students with coffee everywhere. Starbucks will earn their most revenue during this period. At 3 or 4 am in the morning, you'll see students in the pantry making themselves a hot cup of coffee to help them keep themselves awake.

Me? I never really like coffee. I am more of a tea type person. Nothing beats a cup of tea, hot or cold. The main reason why I don't really like coffee is because when I was small, I actually ate a spoonful of instant coffee mix. Let me tell you, it wasn't a happy experience.

Ever since I was small I like drinking tea better than coffee. I like tea more than hot cocoa. I think my love for tea started when my dad came home from somewhere (my dad travels a lot when I was small, going to places I do not know) and brought back a pack of English Breakfast Tea. 

I remembered him  placing it in the souvenirs cabinet. Curiosity got the best of me, so I took a bag and made myself a cup of English Breakfast Tea (although I was pretty sure when I made it, it was already in the afternoon.). It was heavenly. Before this, I only drink the normal Lipton tea , so having a tea that was different was a great experience.

My love for tea deepens as I grow older and get a taste of different teas. Each tea has it's own unique aroma. Earl Grey Tea, Chamomile Tea, Darjeeling Tea, Ceylon tea and much more. But lately I happen to like tea from the east better. I am in love with Green Tea and Oolong Tea.

I like these type better mostly because you don't add sugar to them. This way you can taste the true flavor of the tea. I don't really know how to explain this things since I am not an expert on tea but bear with me. Oh, and I don't mean those bottled green tea either. Although the essence of the Green Tea is still there but the taste has been compromised by adding sugar, lemon and whatever else they put in there.

If you want a good taste of Green Tea or Ocha, I suggest you go to a Japanese restaurant. And not the cheap kind like Sushi King. Sushi King's Green Tea taste like plain water, but smells like Green Tea. The best Green Tea I ever had was in a Japanese restaurant in Cyberjaya. I wouldn't mind going there again for the tea. But sadly, the price of the food is wee bit too expensive for a student like me. I wonder if I can just go there for the tea? Refillable Green Tea is only RM2.50. I know it's free in Sushi King, but I would mind paying if I can get something as awesome as that.

I am afraid

This is kind of related to my last blog post. So yeah.

Firstly, happy new year. If I have ever done anything during last year that annoyed you, pisses you off, said the wrong things or completely ignoring you,

....suck it up, because this year is not going to be any difference.

Okay, back to the original story, from what I've researched on the internet, and according to this quiz I take, I might have MS. MS is actually Multiple Sclerosis which means, there is something wrong with your nerves.

But nothing is confirmed yet. I first have to see a doctor about this. Too bad here in Putrajaya/Cyberjaya area there is no neurologist around. I may just have to suck it up and go to a government clinic to see what they want my diagnosis to be.

The thing about MS is, there is no known cure. This statement is what scares me the most. In fact, to be bluntly honest, when I first searched the internet and I found out my symptoms were similar to MS, just thinking that I might have this disease made me cry. Although you cannot possibly die of MS, but you can die of having complications due to MS.

But thinking on the positive side, (this will be very insensitive from my side) but at least MS is not as bad as ALS? And it's not even as bad as Spinocerebellar Ataxia? I don't know. Again, I might be over thinking some things. Maybe it's just a normal thing. Maybe it's nothing as bad of a disease. Maybe I'm just stressed out. I don't know... 

But all I know is that it is very frustrating when you don't know what is wrong with your body. And not to be mean to the medicinal practices in Malaysia, but these doctors expect you to know what is wrong with your body. It seems like you have to diagnose yourself, go to the doctor to get him to supply you with medicines legally. And sometimes, it seems like the patients know more than the doctors themselves... 

Anyway, enough ranting. Just by ranting here and there, I have 4 pain jolts in different area and muscle twitching all over the place. At first you might not seem to care, but I'm telling you, after more than a year of this, it is very very VERY irritating. I'll just pop by the doctor's office tomorrow.
