Java island
Named after the slang term for "coffee", Java island is an Indonesian island where the inhabitants are addicted to coffee.
After visiting Java Island, I realized the locals aren’t just coffee lovers; they’re practically coffee connoisseurs, brewing up magic in every cup!

java junkie
A slang term for "coffee addict", derived from the slang term "java" (meaning "coffee") which is named after an Indonesian island where coffee beans grow well.
Ever since I discovered that local café, I've become such a java junkie that I can't function without my daily dose of espresso.

NPC
Named after the gaming acronym that stands for "non-playable character", NPC refers to the persons who control our lives too much that we cannot strive for the best for ourselves anymore.
Sometimes it feels like my parents are such NPCs, controlling every decision I make, leaving me with no room to chase my own dreams.

chest
Whenever my friends talk about their workout gains, I just nod, thinking about how my 'chest' is really just a mix of my love for snacks and my storage box of regrets.

ceiling
The "TV set" that you watch whilst laying down inside a prison-like room where there's only your bed and nothing else.
After spending weeks in my tiny apartment, the only entertainment I have is the ceiling, my personal 'TV set' for binge-watching the same old cracks.

Christmas
An occasion celebrated on December 25th, where children eagerly ask Santa for unexpected gifts. With so many options available, it becomes difficult for kids to determine which gift is truly worthwhile or beneficial to wish for during this festive season. e.g. A child asking for a smartphone to Santa when this same child is still way too young for a smartphone.
A child asking Santa for a smartphone on Christmas is a classic example of how difficult it can be for kids to gauge what's appropriate for them!

last resort
The last way that you can do to accomplish the goal you want to be eventually able to reach, once everything else is no longer within your ability.
Retiring from watching YouTube regularly on a daily basis is the last resort I've to take, once the behavior requirement to get more screen time from parents in order to watch more YouTube becomes difficult for me to meet anymore.
