Excuse Me Sir, Can I have Some Salt For My Coffee?


Attention all coffee addicts! Have you ran out of sugar for your coffee, no problem-o just add some salt to it, and you should be fine.Okay, on a second thought, you probably should not, after all you are not Wu Cheng-hsueh. Yup, Mr.Wu is the owner of the 85C Bakery Cafe in Taiwan. And also happens to be the founder of the sea-salt coffee. (No kidding) Though it may sound strange, but this coffee is actually a hit since its introduction into the market last December. For someone who loves trying something new, I wouldn't mind trying this one out.Plus it scored "hero" on the zero-o-meter(that's the zero2hero TV show for those wondering what am I blabbering about). So the next time you happen to be in Taiwan , give it a shot!

P/S= Now, that's a good news for all diabetics but not so for all hypertensives.

Interest

How do you define interest? I had a conversation with mum today regarding it. She strongly tells me that interest is something that I create. "Ruby ma, when you don't like something, you have to learn how to like it, you have to create an interest for it". For me, it is something that is inborn. Like how you fall in love when you meet that certain someone, when you have tears of joy for your friend's happiness...it is a feeling that comes without saying, without you knowing, without being force. It is certainly not the effort. It is something so natural, like a bond of love...
