  Personally, I like to my tea without milk and local Singapore brewed kopitiam kopi (instead of the HK brewed ones). Maybe that's why Yuan Yang is not to my liking.

  I like my tea without milk too! Without milk, without sugar!
  
  And I don't take coffee unless I need to stay awake.

  Without milk (cold)

  Basically I just like tea

  Reminds me of a tactic for waking up on time in a book I read.
  
  "set your alarm to 30 minutes before you want to get up, place a mug of cold coffee and 2 pro plus pills(I assume these are caffeine pills) by your bedside. when the alarm goes off in the morning, toss back the pills and cold coffee, go back to sleep, and 30 minutes later you spring awake in the grip of a massive caffeine jolt"

  tell you what.. i can actually feel the caffeine being absorbed by the body.. maybe it's psychological... but the feeling comes from the middle of my torso and sorta spreads out from there a couple of minutes after i drink coffee
  
  p.s. there is no such thing as a "caffeine jolt" for me anymore

  try shooting a double espresso into your vein. that may just work.

  I totally believe you
  
  And on lazy weekend cafe mornings I feel the warm happiness spreading together with the caffeine

  Erm... a 'macchiato' is something that a forumite, JLennon, likes to drink!
  
  
  
  OK, a quick check yielded this : "an espresso drink with a teaspoon or two of steamed milk on top; also written macchiatto".

  think i am getting old. when i was young, it was tea with milk and sugar. then it became tea with sugar. now its just tea. but i think cold tea with about 4 slices of lemon without sugar is awesome on a hot day.

  hmm.. macchiato is actually an expresso with some milk foam on it
  
  no idea why or what tho'... coz i like my coffee black and unreasonably strong

  Yup! Cafegot. But I believe you need a prescription for it? I know of a colleague who was prescribed Cafegot for her bad migraines.

  Yeah, cold tea with lemon is great! Iced Lemon Tea or Pokka Iced Lemon Green Tea is also good.
  
  Pokka... siiiiigh... wonder if I can get Pokka drinks there?
