Milo

Oh Milo, how I love thee
You quench my thirst
You quell my hunger
And even though I was raised on Ovaltine
But it's not as easily found on the shop shelves as before
And so now to Milo I turn
No, no Horlicks for me
I need something chocolatey

Heh. Sorry... didn't have time to have a proper breakfast today, so thank God I had some instant 3-in-1 Milo in my cupboard here. Milo is ubiquitous here in Singapore. The traditional way to drink it is to mix it with milk/condensed milk and hot water. We also can drink it iced. The ready-to-drink canned versions are also sold here. Not to mention the Milo chocolate bars and little chocolate bites. Local prata shops have also come up with their own concoctions of Milo (check out what they call "Dinosaur" there heh). ;-) I had an Australian friend who came here and said that, "My God, I've never seen so many types of Milo before."

"But I thought Milo is in Australia too?"

"Yeah... but you guys have it in so many different ways," he went on to say, pointing to a sign above the drinks stall in a coffee-shop, advertising at least 3 kinds of Milo drinks they sell (hot or iced, and different cup size ;-) ). "In Australia our Milo just come in cans."

Yes, we love our Milo can't you tell?

Had a horrible start to my day. Overslept. Didn't have time to pack my salad for lunch. My iron didn't work so I'm hoping my scarf doesn't look to creased today. I usually iron the scarf I'm wearing for the day just before I leave home to minimise creasing, but the iron isn't working today. Bleh. Need to ask my dad to look into that.

And it was raining, and it was almost impossible to get a cab! I had to wait for almost half an hour before I could get one! The things that happen to you when you oversleep. Serves me right, I guess.

That's my short entry for now. Need to start work. Maybe I'll write another one later.
