I think I have caffeine dependency. Just noticed that I'm suffering from some withdrawal symptoms from not taking caffeine especially in the morning after waking up.
Been downing whatever caffeine I can find..even considered caffeine tablets. I'm not a coffee person, so I had to look for alternatives; tea*lots and lots of them*, apples, chocolates*my favourite source of caffeine*, coca-cola, energy drinks...Suggestions welcomed~
I find green tea works a tiny bit better than jasmine tea. hmm...I might be wrong?
I was once told by Fiona that the tea bags release more caffeine with each use. Meaning, use the same tea bag for a couple of times. Well, she's a really smart pharmacist. However, if the fact is not true, it'll still keep you awake cause you'll keep going to the toilet. win-win!
Been having chocolates for breakfast. Actually, been doing that for years!lol~chocolates and bananas..best combo!awesome~
Been eating lots of walnuts as well. They look like brains..hehe!
Not that it's proven to be brain-food. Placebo effect works well with me~Not forgetting my ginkgo biloba tablets as well.My life has been taken over by my FINALS! Fingers crossed that it'll really be my final exam..Just wanna pass smoothly~
I deactivated my facebook since Christmas to lessen the distractions (just in case anyone thought that I block them on facebook) , hence the sudden increase in blog posts. Funny how you try to remove one distraction and others keep popping up or are just there to tempt you~
Written papers are this coming Thursday and Friday~
Remember me in your prayers~Please and Thank you!

Telephone operators
Recently I made a mistake on my flight details for FlyEmirates. But I managed to settle everything by just calling up the main office.

Previously, my flatmate had a VERY stressful period dealing with the phone operators so I wasn't keen on calling up, even insisted of going down to the main office to settle everything face-to-face. But a combination of Glasgow's 'awesome' weather and my lazy bum, I just decided to make a simple call.
I was pleasantly surprised when my phone operator was very nice, polite and efficient. Got everything settled..Easy peasy. Should have asked for his name and maybe put in a good word for him.
*It was so casual that I even shamelessly asked if there's any 'special' discount he can give. LOL*
Speaking of phone operators, I was wondering...maybe 7 out of 10 times, the phone operators are indians?

I've never heard someone with a chinese accent over the other line. Will be cool to hear someone really chinese one day~maybe even continue the conversation in mandarin or cantonese.
But it's true that indians are much faster at learning new languages as compared to other races. Maybe because Hindi, Tamil...are so difficult to begin with.
I love learning different languages. Only 3 phrases are important to master a particular language;
1. Hi! How are you?
2. Thank you
3. *Swearing words*
