I talk a lot about groceries, one can surmise that it is borderline obsessive. What with finding the best prices, looking for the best produce and chicken each store has to offer and at the same time considering the most convenient way to shop, so much time is spent on online research and price comparison. It is a process of discovery and ultimately, I hope to arrive at the best conclusion for my need right now. All this research is not for nothing though, for example I know now I HATE Tesco chicken, however cheap they may be, because they are disgusting. I respect food because they fuel our bodies but believe me, when I typed HATE earlier, I made myself stop to consider it for a minute. One minute is up, and I still HATE Tesco chicken.
I found an organic farm online that delivers to your door, exciting! You have to buy their box produce (varying sizes to choose from) and then you can add free range chicken to your order. Their box produce is a bit expensive but the chicken is quite cheap, really. I have yet to receive my order but I can't tell you how happy this hippie is right now, organic food yo! I have high hopes riding on this first order, please let it be good so I can stop Googling "Grocery Delivery Malaysia" already.
I'm at Starbucks now doing some work, I find that I'm more productive when I'm out of the house and not tempted to binge watch Annalise Keating and her murder crew online. One reason working here is good is because their Internet connection is slow, so one can really focus on real work and not busywork, like taking a pic of your coffee and posting it on Instagram, #workmode. The staff greet me with a special regular-customer hi every time I step through the door, I feel so special hehe. So in the spirit of reciprocation, whenever they hard sell me anything, I'll buy it. The other day they suggested I try their over the counter products, and I got a fruitcake. Today, when they came over to my table and told me (in a conspiratory we-don't-offer-this-to-anyone-but-you kinda way) that their mugs and tumblers are on 30% discounts, I, or rather they, made me buy a mug. A white, beautiful, overpriced 8oz coffee mug/tumbler that I don't need. Sigh, I'm such an easy sell I should stay home to be safe. I tell myself that I'll get RM 2 off of every beverage I purchase from now on and use less paper cups, so I'm saving money AND the environment, but let's face it. For this price, I'll have to buy a gazillion drinks to make it break even.
