Milo in the office

What it used to be

Minum milo anda jadi sihat dan kuat!

Lol people who know what I'm talking about, knows what I'm talking about and correct me if I'm wrong cause I haven't heard of that song for a damn long time.

I used to LOVE milo alot. Yes, I love it.

During my schooling days, every morning, my mum will prepare a cup of milo for each of us (dad+mum+sis+me) as breakfast before we head for school. And during most of the nights, we will drink milo before going to bed. I guess it's the same for lotsa families and Malaysians do rely on milo A LOT. The price has hiked up pretty much till I stop being so addicted to it years ago (I think the other reason was because mum realized that the sugar content in milo is too high). We use to buy a whole tin (1.5kg?) of it which costs around RM15+- till they start producing the 3-in-1 packets to make mum's job easier. But no joke 3-in-1 started with a price of around RM8.5+- and now it's on average RM13 (if I've not mistaken). Fuyohhh....inflation. When milo is on sale (I remember it used to happen quite a lot in Lai Lai Supermarket on Burmah Road), I used to be the useful family member trying to grab as many tins/packets as we could in front of the storeroom door. No shock, every else does that too! It's a matter of whether you're fast and ganas enough. And I remember being pretty ahem...proud of myself for being able to get 12 units (capped at max 3 per customer) for my family during each sale.

And now.

Those were the days.

When we started to feel that milo is just cutting consumers throat with the rapid price increase, we did thought of alternatives such as Vico or Ovaltine. But they're just not....milo. Haha, so today, it is still guaranteed that there'll be some milo in my house cause my dad is still so loyal to that drink.

Well, for me, not drinking it at home doesn't mean that I don't like it anymore. I was pretty excited to learn that my company has this beverage vending machine which also makes milo, yes and unlimited and for FREE! And so, milo is the next beverage I'll not miss whenever I'm in the office after coffee. 

Lol, sure kena diabetes leh....one day.
