1.The last time you drank coffee was 2 - 4 hours ago - and it wasn't your first cup in a day.
2.You constantly wish you could drink more than two cups a day - if only your intestines were strong enough.
3.What's the first drink you have in the morning? Yes, it's coffee.
4.You have a "coffee fan-club" at work. Well, sort of.:P
5.At the restaurant, your friends order nice-looking colourful smoothies, while you go for something dark and bitter. (Sometimes add a bit of sugar in it for once in a while.)
6.Cappuccino? Frappuccino? With cream? Black? Decaf? (Okay, scratch the last one.) You name it. You try it. Test which works better to help you to stay awake at night.
7."Coffee, coffee, COFFEE!!!" (Say it out loud, clear, and proud with your best, mad-scientist expression.*big evil grin*)
8.If you were filthy rich, you'd buy a Starbucks chain - or just hang out there everyday.
9.You start googling for more stories about...all kinds of coffee!
10.When you frequent your favourite supermarket, you often go straight to the coffee counter.
11.You have dozens of coffee sachets in your bag, like a smoker collecting nicotine patches.
12.No hot water? Iced-cappuccino will do. Iced-coffee? No problem too.
13.You're familiar with Nescafe, ToraBika, and even the famous Javanese "Kopi Tubruk" (even Jack Nicholson promoted that through his character in "The Bucket List".:P)
14.Your heart starts to work like an all-night disco for clubbers.
15.Number 14 leads to agitation.
16.You know most late-night TV shows, because you're always awake to watch them all - even if it's not the weekend. You don't even care if it's a re-run.
17.Your eyes just won't open/close at the right time. Your sleeping pattern is an absolute mess.
18.Soon, the normally two-cups-a-day portion doesn't work anymore. You just crave for...more.
19.You can't sleep when you want to. But once you do, it's a restless one.
20.You know human body needs proper rest, but there are times when you fear(or feel?) that too much sleep is a waste of time.
21.You start to wonder whether this addiction is actually your temporary escape from your real problem - too much stress, lack of time management???
22.You can't remember the last time you had a really restful sleep.
23.In your Facebook profile, you write:
"Coffee's my weapon. Exhaustion's my enemy. Insomnia's my companion."
24.Your hands are trembling.
25.You're either writing or reading (and acknowledging more than 10 points here) this somewhat ridiculous entry. After this, all you want is another cup of coffee before your favourite late-night TV sows - or to help you to finish your left-over from work.
