Beverages

Coffee, especially instant coffee, is cheap. No wonder it's a favourite beverage of all especially in the mornings after waking up.

But aside from coffee, another perk me up would be alcohol especially when you're very tired but I only consume one can of it each day. A sip of alcohol beverage is tolerable for me, meaning I don't puke. However, I'm afraid I could not be your beer buddy as I cannot finish rounds. In other words, one can of beer is the most I can drink and that lasts for a week until I crave again. Moreover, I think I'll just substitute coconut milk for alcohol as it is a much healthier alternative and can do wonders to my energy levels as well. 

Tip: Mix coconut milk with cold black tea and you got yourself Thai milk tea.

With regards to trending milkshakes, I'm not really a big fan of it although I'd like to drink a hot cup of milk just before bedtime to put me to sleep. 

I don't like my drinks to be sweet which is why I skip sugar in my coffee and hot milk. I like my coffee with one tablespoon of instant coffee granules and two tablespoons of creamer. My black tea on the other hand has no bit of sugar: just black tea and cold water. 

As for Sago, she just drinks tap water the whole day but she has two bowls of fresh water every morning: one upstairs and one downstairs. I want to make sure that she is properly hydrated, and that she is able to relieve herself each day to avoid intestinal problems. I also have to keep hydrated so there's a jug of filtered water and a drinking glass on my desktop. 

It's only now that I noticed Sago to eat from the rims of her bowl first as she gradually moves to the centre of her meal. She does not like dog food lately, and I don't know if her appetite diminishes as she ages or she's back to being a picky eater again.

On other news, I get drowsy upon taking my medications in the early afternoon that I have to drink coffee. I lay down for a while with Sago near me. But lately, I nap in the mornings and don't feel sleepy in the afternoons and instead accompany Sago who's downstairs chilling out. I like staying close to Sago, caressing her soft fur while she naps. Sago's favourite past time is napping. She enjoys it so much that she extends her leg with her eyes closed exposing her belly; sometimes she sleeps on the couch. And it's when she's on the couch at dusk that I like kissing her before we both welcome the morning when we take a walk.
