Okay, i didn't know that coffee actually had caffeine. I mean, I knew it- bit I didn't know it would work- you know like with the equipment in lab which the manual says will do something jazzy but you dismiss it because 'it's only lab equipment, dude' or that teacher who asks you to sincerely work on your honours project- write a good report and she says she will get your paper published! and you look at her face with an expression on your face, which says 'ok- you think that piece of crap you just said will make me work on this thing all semester and not on the night before submission?' - and what happens is just as you thought- neither the lab equipment works, nor does she get your paper published (not that you worked all semester either, but that's beside the point)
but, coffee can actually keep you awake. Now, that surprises me so much because i always thought that either coffee managing to do that was hogwash or i was, well, a sponge. but, last night- a cup of starbucks cappuccino had at 7.30 managed to keep me up till 4 in the morning. it was like insomnia. when i didn't want it.
That kind of 'things actually work' shocks have come to me before. and a lot of them happened here in singapore. Like, even if you are at the end of a long serpentine queue, you will manage to reach the counter before it closes. Like computer codes- even the really long ones (i mean the ones, i write) do work. Or that electricity could be functional all day, all night, all week, all year without even a tiny snag and so could be water supply.
Or, even things like, a horrible visa problem could be resolved without my dad being around- or i could get a medical test without him having to accompany me- or that i could put the right amount of salt without my mom measuring it from the container.
Also, that crabs could eat crabs ;)

En Bref
On a pleuré,
On a ri,
Lentement, on a appris.
Que si tu veux,
Tu peux.
Tu peux sourire,
Tu peux vivre.

for other, "Things Actually Work" experiences, visit Mumbai.
Yes, no matter how many people try to stampede into an already much more than just full local train car they will manage to get inside and also manage to survive hour long journeys amidst more than just sweat, stench and the unwanted hawker who also not only manages to squeeze into the train but also sells a couple of them ear bud packets till the train reaches the next station.
Training is so much fun.
But now I just wish it ends :)
