Apparently, a recent study have shown that while drinking coffee can make you happy (due to the level of mild drug-like caffeine contained within the coffee beans themselves), it is also possible that excessive level of caffeine in blood vessel may neutralize a particular growth hormone, resulting to normal aging and cognitive development, yet a slower or no particular physical expansion. This research was first introduced to me by Saw Nancie and my own individual studies confirmed its relevance.

Holy f@#$ing s*&%!!!

Ahem, anyways, just yesterday, i went around in Russia... i mean Time Square and guess what i did.. or rather; what i almost did? I went into Starbucks in Borders! Okay, so it might not be so special for you all out there aka you rich brats out there! But for me, i'm an anti-Starbucks guy! Seriously, coffee is actually happiness given by God for mankind. So, why charge happiness for ten freakin' bucks!? Does Santa Claus charge parents for giving presents to their kids every Christmas!? Did Jesus charge the people for getting himself crucified!? Did Prophet Muhammad charge his people to save them from enslavement!? Freakin NO!! So why Starbucks charge customers for their coffee!? I tell you why; Starbucks is the Satan in disguise! That's why!

In any case, back to the story, i went inside starbucks coz Reva did treated me to a coffee from Starbucks a day back. Was thinking that maybe i should get something for her in return. Come on, Reva treated people for Starbucks so many times, so, it cant be that expensive can it...? Hell yeah, Darkie, that freakin Java Chocolate Chip Cofee or whatever it is; is 15 bucks dammit! It was my turn at the queue and the counter guy asked for my order. So, it was an awkward silent for five minutes and i turned out saying something like, "Uh.. actually i'm just ordering for my friend who will be coming in a short while. She havent messaged me on what she would like me to order so yeah.. turned out to be my turn and i think, i will be waiting for her before i order something she might not want.. i mean, she like the Java one but she might wanna order something else this time... so... yyyyeeeaaahh... i'll pass for now ok?" **runs away**

I hate you Starbucks! Damnation be upon thy outlets...

starbucks doesnt have to be expensive if u dont want it to be u can get a nice caramel machiato for like 3,90€ but it gets pricey only if u want all the "upgrades" per say. eg. Whipped Cream Espresso shot, flavour shot aroma shot usw. Just like anything if u shop smart you wont blow your bank. plus a Tazo Hot tea is only like 1,90€...

but then again it is a franchise coffee store and their coffee delicious.

Only beef i have with them is with their T-mobile hot spot u need to buy time to use the hot spot which pretty much defeats the purpose of a hotspot, thats like password protecting a hotspot except more expensive!

Comment by DarkDelaqroux on March 1, 2008 at 9:15am: yep, true indeed.

Well, one thing about Starbucks where i made my point that it is expensive is that, living in Malaysia, Starbucks became super pricey for no apparent reason (maybe coz of the import tax stuff thingy whatever-it-is). So, while starbucks is like a common drink in the US (or thats what i believe.. hehe), Starbucks in Malaysia is like a royal drink.. Most of us, students just settle for normal coffee shops which we can afford while those born-rich sons and daughters choose starbucks as their lil chatting and hangout spot coz they can afford them coffee easy D8<</body>

Comment by DSTF on March 1, 2008 at 9:17am: ive never been to malaysia so i dont really have any opinion on the prices but i will take your word for it. The thing most people dont know is that if u just buy the beans from them u can just grind your own beans and make amazing coffee for none of the processing fees. Sure it takes a little longer but damn its worth it

Comment by oscar p on March 1, 2008 at 6:15pm: Yea its not that expensive if you dont want it to be. and im not a rich brat. i go to starbucks just because its on the way to my job. also you were in times square. all the prices are jacked up. go to starbucks in edgewater nj and its cheaper.

Comment by DarkDelaqroux on March 1, 2008 at 9:21pm: lolz. Wellll... Seems like ppl get confused by Time square. I meant here by Time Square is actually Berjaya Times Square. Somewhat a New York Time Square wannabe but its in Malaysia not in the US. Really cool place if only people wouldnt charge so much for every single stuff ^^

Yep, i did buy some coffee beans and grind it myself. There was this PDF file i found on the internet which list down all the recipe for Starbucks coffee last time (....i might get sued for that right? 0___0). It is worth the time and effort. But other people still say that my 'starbucks' does not feel the same... is it the mindset that makes the taste different?... Hmmmmm....

Comment by DSTF on March 2, 2008 at 8:59am: probably not the mind set but more the fact that they have thousand dollar steam machines to make the coffee perfect compared to hand made hot potting

Comment by Jamie on March 2, 2008 at 4:25pm: Do you have English lessons at school nowadays? Might I suggest you attend them once in a while? Fuck, it isn't that hard to correct English and it certainly isn't cool to write like you are.

More to the point though, WTF?

Comment by DarkDelaqroux on March 2, 2008 at 6:34pm: What with the hate? Dude, i'm no native english speaker and why do i have to write uber academically in a hangout place like this? My blog, my language. If i wanna talk Tamil or Yugoslavian or simply some clicking sounds which i would call as My Language, then let me. What's the biggie? lolz

Me ish Malaysian and i have talking bad ingleesh. :p
