Every morning I wake up about 7am.
The first thing I do is head straight for a hot shower to wake myself up and to make sure that I don’t fall asleep again.
Then I go brush my teeth and sit on my laptop for a while to check my work e-mails.
Then I walk out of my room and into the small dining room in my apartment.
That’s when I normally prepare myself breakfast.
Breakfast for me is always simple: Cereals… either Koko Krunch or Milo cereals.
Then I grab my bowl of cereals and head straight for the TV in living room to watch E! while eating.
This morning, it was a little different.
I was watching the True Hollywood Story of Brandy when I took my first bite of the cereals that morning.
At first I thought I tasted a bit of banana and I shouted in my empty apartment
“WHO THE HELL PUT BANANA IN MY KOKO KRUNCH?!?!?!”
Then the taste of the banana really began to sip in and my mouth spasmed.
Now I like bananas… but I don’t like eating bananas with anything else.
Yes that means I don’t like banana split, I don’t like banana juice and nothing of the sort.
After I puked out the milk, I went to investigate where the banana came from.
It definitely wasn’t the Koko Krunch.
So it had to be the milk.
I took a look at the milk carton.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Just the usual Hi Calcium, Hi Protein and LOW FAT milk that I drink (That’s right, I drink low fat milk.. all you thin people go ahead and laugh!).
Then I turned the carton around only to see THIS.
BANANA FLAVOURED MILK?!?!?!
WHO THE HELL DRINKS KOTEK FLAVOURED MILK!?!?!
I started beating myself up at first for buying it in the first place.. if I didn’t like it.
Then I began to wonder that hey… someone else should share the blame with me.
I mean, if you’re selling SUSU PISANG, shouldn’t you AT LEAST put it in BIGGER PRINTS that the milk was PISANG MILK!?!?!
Heck, if I were Prime Minister, I would even push for a law that enforces
ALL PISANG FLAVOURED MILK TO HAVE WARNING LABELS ON THEM THAT SAY
“WARNING: CONTENT CONTAINS SUSU PISANG AND MAY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR KOKO KRUNCH!!!”
