Coffee, tea (gongcha) or me?

Attended a seminar in the afternoon and kind of fell asleep in the first half hour (so rude of me...) but could not helped it. Was it because I did not had any coffee or tea in the morning? Or was it just me being tired (reached home at about 11pm last night and went to sleep after midnight)? yawn yawn... anyway, I had a cup of milk tea (very nice) during the tea break and then tea from gongcha  (it's my third cup since saturday...hmmm...) on my way home....hope I can still sleep tonight :P

Talking about sleep - I attended a talk last week about the sleep advantage. Did you know that eating more tofu, nuts, capsicum, corn can help your body produce a hormone that can help you sleep better? And exposure to natural light (as compared to artificial light) can produce more of that hormone? That probably explain why we feel tired and go to sleep early after a day outdoor or at the beach...

Sweet dreams to all :)

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Moon River came to mind when I pressed about Piazza Navona in Rome a few minutes back.
Moon River came to mind when I saw the video of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast in Tiffany's a few months back.
Moon River came to mind when I heard the street basker at Piazza Navona more than a few months back.

Moon River, a song I heard many years ago about 15 years ago, a song that brings back sweet memories of the days gone by...

Here's Moon River - music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johnny Mercer

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

Moon River - Audrey Hepburn
