Today is a departure from most days when I do not sleep after subuh. I am wide awake, I think I should change my sleep pattern to sleep at 10 and wake up at 5 and not sleep back thereafter. I love the fresh morning air, in fact I am going to walk in the park after my breakfast.
Breakfast is an apple and lots of water first thing in the morning and something a bit more substantial, but not too much a little later. I am having mostly the chicken soup and the potato cutlet, I am not interested in the noodles in this mee soto. My mum bought an insipid noodle which is of a different brand and the bean sprouts are limp, I like them raw for the crunch.
I submitted my two articles for the wedding supplement of Manja yesterday and I hope my editor likes it. It didn't take me long to cook up the stories, but when you are working it out, you need a little patience and leave time for it to grow as you piece the puzzle through. In between you get writers' block when you can't really write anything because the story is not ripe, so you just have to chill and hang out with friends. I haven't been out for more than two weeks until the day before yesterday. I love coffee and conversations, in that order.
I am having my half mug of coffee now, I have cut down basically to two half mugs of coffee a day when I am home. Here is a poem to catch my morning coffee mood:
Ode to Coffee
I hold your cup of temptation in my hand
I feel the heat warming my inner vessel
You fill my senses with it
I am quick witted and alert
All I need is some conversation
That goes with this bit of poison
You kill me but ever so softly
I am putty in your hands
Always, I imbibe you with my passion
