How To Quit Smoking


I have been a smoker for more than 10 years. I started really young, at the age of 15. I had forgotten how it feels like to be without a smoke in my lungs. I cough so hard, it’s seems like my lungs are going to come out from my mouth. From the way I cough, people know that I am a smoker. I had gone thru a lot of websites on how to quit smoking. Read thru paper cuttings as well. I had gone thru everything, tips and trick, the hazards of smoking so that I might be scared to continue smoking. Nope! That didn’t work. There was one time I stopped for about a month. After that I started smoking again. Not enough determination. Determination and Will Power Is The Key.

                Some people say that I can stop smoking because I was not a heavy smoker. It depends though. There are people who says, smoking 1 cigarette a day is heavy. Some people say smoking 2 packs of 20 cigarettes a day is heavy. I smoke about 20 cigarettes a day. I will smoke more, if I’m stressed out. I can go for 40 cigarettes a day. I have stop smoking for 2 years now. I would like to share a few points on how I manage to stop smoking.

1) Knowing the effects of smoking and remembering it will help is the first step. What it will do to your inside? How will it affect your family and your future? Read a lot of articles on the hazards of smoking. There is lots of it on the internet. Go look at some pictures on what it can do to your lungs, your brains and other diseases that you can get when you smoke. Looking at pictures will let it stay in your mind. You will think twice when you want to smoke your next stick. If that’s not enough, there are lots of videos on youtube. Follow the links below for my favorites. I will only share 2. 



 
2) Get an external aid. For example sweets, mints, chewing gum, nicotine patch, or nicotine chewing gum. I have used all of these except the nicotine chewing gum. When I feel like smoking I will pop a mint or a chewing gum in my mouth. It will delay the urge for a while. It will work until I ran out of chewing gum or mint. I will smoke after that somehow. Sometimes worst, I will eat mint and have a smoke as well. I knew about nicotine patch for a long time, but did not use it until 2 years back. The nicotine patch was quite expensive. It has 7 patches in one box. Each box varies in nicotine calculated in milligrams. The pharmacist will determine how many milligrams you need on how many cigarettes you smoke per day. 

3) Delay yourself from smoking. As stated above, having something to chew on helps to delay the smoking. Keep yourself busy with work that does not allow you to smoke at the same time does help as well, for example washing the dishes, clean the yard, and do house chores and many more. Most offices nowadays do not allow staff from smoking in their offices. So, stay in the office and don’t go out. Try washing your hands often, when you feel like smoking, go wash your hands. Do whatever it takes to delay you from smoking. 

4) Don't buy your own cigarettes. If you need to smoke, get your cigarette from other people. This will slightly help. Sometimes we have the tendency to smoke because we have a pack of cigarette ready on us. This might be caused of habit or actually having the urge to smoke. Most of the time, it’s because of habit. If we need to get a cigarette from somebody else, it will somehow slow us down because we are reluctant to ask for a cigarette from strangers or even our friends, unless they offer us the cigarette.

5) Refrain yourself from going to places where people smoke and don't hang out with people who do smoke. For the time being, stop going to public places where people smoke a lot for example open air coffee houses, mamaks, outside a shopping mall and much more. If you have to, stay inside where smoking is not allowed. Refrain from hanging out with people who do smoke. Say no to them and explain the reason why. If they are your true friends they will understand. 


6) Stop doing the things that will give you the urge to smoke. Stop! Yes stop. If drinking coffee makes you want to smoke. Stop for a while, you can start drinking coffee again when you are confident that you won’t feel the urge to smoke after taking a sip. 

7) Get a professional’s advice on how to stop and come out with a plan where you have to follow and have a recurring meet up with them. I had a meet up with my family doctor and had a chat with him. More of a nagging session to me. :P Got his advice. The funny thing is, I know everything he told me before I actually met him for that session. Hmmm. Yeah, right after that I went to the pharmacist and got me a nicotine patch.

8) Decide on when to stop. Keep to your decision! Had my last smoking session with a good friend of mine. I did not buy a new pack of cigarette. Finish my last cigarette with my good friend, told him that that would be my last one. I had decided to stop smoking the next day. That was my last cigarette since then.

These are some links that might interest you as well.

Hope this helps. IF I CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU!! :)

5 Kinds Of People To Kick Out Of The Cinema.



Sometimes there are some insolent fools or just plain stupid people, that you feel that you want to kick them out of the cinema your in. You know, the kind of people who you feel like punching them in the face while watching the movies. The ones who sits besides you and makes you feel like yelling at them. The ones we want to kick their asses off to the moon and never to return. I think, many of us have encountered these kinds of people at least once in their entire movie experience. Let me share the Top 5 people I find most irritating, most arrogant and most stupid people in the cinema. 

1) Person who answers their phone and talks loudly. This is plain irritating and plain arrogant. If you silent your phone and answered the phone quietly and stating that you are in the cinema and hangs up straight after that. That is still tolerable. But the one I'm pissed at is the one who answers the phone call, then talks like there's no tomorrow. Hello brother, you are in a cinema man!! SMS lah SMS!! Cannot issit? If want to talk go outside lah!! Irritating man!! Can't you just ignore the phone for once, or maybe you can just text the fellow who called you? Or if it's totally urgent, Just get out of the freaking cinema and talk outside. 

2) Commentators. I just can't stand the commentator fellows. Hello auntie, we don't need a commentator in the cinema, If I want commentator, I will go watch football la auntie!! Aiyoo Why so hard to understand? Can't you just keep it to yourself, do a postmortem and discuss it with your friends or family AFTER THE MOVIE!!??!!??

3) Repeater. I can hear loud and clear in the cinema!! I can hear clearly!! I don't need somebody to repeat every sentence there is in the script!! And of course I don't need somebody imitating the character in the film. FREAKS MAN!!! Dude, I'm also watching the movie man!!
 
4) Translator. Haven't you heard about subtitles?? Here in Malaysia, we have subtitles. Got English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil. We don't need a translator!! Go be a professional translator and work for the embassy or something. MAN!

5) People who gets too excited and dance to the movie. WTF?? There was this girl sitting beside me. She actually got too excited and dance. Lucky she did not stand up and start doing a "Glee" kindda move! It's bad enough moving around so much and irritate people.!! MAN What's going??!!

It is ok to laugh, get scared and get in the mood while watching the movie. Just remember that there are people around you. You are not alone in the cinema!! Be courteous to other people!! Be considerate!!

PEACE OUT!

Benefits of Being Your Own Boss





     There are always Pros and Cons in the decisions that we make in life. Weighing the Pros and the Cons is a big task. Sure lots of us have been thinking about being our own boss. Being self employed. But there always something holding us back from this. It may be our friends, parents, spouse, telling us not to. Telling us it's not a good idea and stuff. But worst still, the voices in your head that is telling, "you won't succeed". No MLM talk here, not to worry!! I'm just weighing the advantages and disadvantages myself.


Benefits:
1) You are in charge of your own salary. Main Factor Salary! We get what we give. We keep every dime that we make for ourselves. Not capped by our employer. It's hard at first, but when it's all started, the sky is our limit. Keep cool, stay cool, and never lose focus.

2) You are in charge of your own schedule. We are the decision maker. What time we work. No more 9 to 5 jobs. There's always time for something else like going grocery shopping, going to the workshop, spend more time with our family. But we have to make sure that we put ample time for our business as well.

3) You are in charge of the clients you take. We take up our own clients and our own projects. If we don't like the project, the time constrains, the money that we can make, we don't need to take up the job. Come to think of it, if we don't like the client, we don't have to take up the job too. But that's not how it works. Be gentle, customer is always right. At least if we get yelled at by clients, it's our own clients/customers. We get all the payout to ourselves and for the upkeep at the end of the day.  

4) You are responsible for your success. When we are self employed, we can make a difference to the business. Make decision that can shake the world. It depends on us alone. Sometimes when we work in a big company, we are over shadowed by other employees. Sometimes we feel not needed. Worst! if we are not appreciated.      

5) Won't get sacked. You can change your mind about certain business opportunities, but that would just be shifting the focus of your business, you’d never be firing yourself. This takes a certain amount of burden off your shoulders because you don’t need to worry about someone suddenly taking away your income just because of cutbacks even if you’re doing a superb job.

As it is, being our own boss would not suit everybody. There's always challenges along the way. It's hard to start your won business, but after we have put our foot on the ground it should be fine. The sky is our limit!! It's not the destination, it's the journey that matters most!!

Do Not Pick Up Your Calls While The Mobile Phone Is Charging.

Assalamualaikum, Do Not!! I Repeat!! Do Not Pick Answer Your Calls While Your Mobile Phone Is Charging. This Might Happen To You.

The phone exploded and burnt he's hand and the bed. He answered his call while the phone is still attached to the power socket to charge.

      The price for a meal would cost araound RM10. If 2 people around RM20. Sometimes we would order additional lauk for example Bakso or udang penyet. :P That would cost around RM30. Don't get me wrong, the food is nice. Tapi kalau hari hari. botak gak pale. So jgn makan situ hari hari. hehehe :P

Kalau kau nak rogol akupun rogollah, aku tak kisah!!

 
Kalau korang seorang wanita dan rumah korang dicereboh, lalu muncul seorang lelaki mahu merogol korang, apa korang akan buat? Adakah korang akan mempertahankan diri atau membiarkan saja si-lelaki jahanam itu meratah diri korang sesuka hatinya? Kebanyakan wanita pasti akan melawan, biarpun nyawa menjadi taruhan tapi menyerah mahkota kesucian mereka tidak sekali!!

Dan di Ipoh semalam kes seorang isteri yang cuba dirogol oleh seorang lelaki yang tak dikenalinya berakhir dengan kisah menyayat hati apabila wanita yang menjadi mangsa rogol itu telah dihukum penjara kerana tindakannya melawan perogol tersebut telah menyebabkan kematian perogol berkenaan. Dan kerana perbuatan mempertahankan dirinya itu, Mahkamah Tinggi Ipoh semalam telah menjatuhkan hukuman penjara dua tahun ke atas S. Kalaichelvi, 24 tahun, seorang suri rumah selepas dia mengaku bersalah menyebabkan kematian seorang lelaki yang cuba memperkosanya pada tahun lepas.

Hakim Datuk Zainal Adzam Abid. Ghani memerintahkan S. Kalaichelvi  menjalani hukuman tersebut selepas mengaku bersalah menyebabkan kematian M. Kumaran, 29, di dalam rumahnya di Taman Bistari, Ayer Tawar, Manjung di antara pukul 3 hingga 3.30 pagi pada 7 Januari 2010. 

Mengikut fakta kes, perogol itu menceroboh rumahnya ketika suami wanita itu tiada di rumah. Wanita itu walaupun cuba dikasari oleh lelaki jahanam itu tapi dia dapat melarikan dirinya ke dapur dan sempat mencurahkan serbuk cili ke mata perogol itu. Dalam keadaan matanya yang pedih, perogol itu masih cuba untuk mendapatkan Kalaichelvi, tapi wanita tersebut dengan pantas mencapai sebatang besi dan memukul kepala lelaki yang cuba merogolnya.  Pukulan itu menyebabkan si-perogol itu mati di dalam rumahnya.  

Hakim Zainal Adzam dalam penghakiman bertulisnya berkata, Kalaichelvi sepatutnya dihukum lebih berat kerana melakukan pembunuhan kejam terhadap perogol tersebut.

Hakim kata Kalaichelvi telah melakukan "pembunuhan kejam", tapi pada pandangan korang perbuatan merogol orang itu tak kejamkah?  Jika korang menjadi wanita itu, adakah korang akan menyerah diri kepada perogol itu tanpa melawan atau bertindak berani untuk mempertahankan diri seperti yang dilakukan oleh Kalaichelvi?

Jika Kalaichelvi hanya membiarkan dirinya diperkosa dan lepas itu pergi ke balai polis membuat laporan, dia pasti tak akan dihukum penjara dua tahun. Perogol itu mungkin akan dipenjara dan lepas keluar penjara dia akan mencari Kalaichelvi untuk merogolnya sekali lagi atau mungkin akan pergi mencari wanita lain, termasuk kakitangan Mahkamah untuk merogol mereka pula. Atau jika tak bernasib baik mungkin selepas merogolnya, perogol itu akan membunuh Kalaichelvi untuk menghapuskan bukti!!

Jika JR adalah wanita itu, JR juga akan bertindak sepertinya. JR lebih rela mempertaruhkan nyawa dari menggadai maruah!! JR sekali-sekali tak akan  meminta belas kasihan perogol itu sambil berkata, "Kalau kau nak rogol akupun rogollah, aku tak kisah!!"
 
PS: Petikan Diatas diambil dari
http://mycuteshoppe.blogspot.com/2011/06/kalau-nak-rogol-aku-pun-rogollah-aku.html

Ape nak jadi dengan undang-undang negara sekarang? Saya mungkin bercakap dari satu perspektif saje. Tapi kalau kita berada di dalam keadaan bahaya, kita akan membuat ape saje untuk mempertahankan diri. Kalau mempertahankan diri pon dipenjara kan. Lagi baik buat bodoh jer.


Pada pendapat saya, mahkamah telah bertindak secara bodoh dan tidak berasas dalam membicarakan hal ini. Kalau anak ko kena mcm ni ape ko nak cakap?

Oh!! My English VS Mind Your Language


Assalamualaikum, Hi there. How's it going people?




As we all know there's a new TV sitcom in Town, Oh My English. It's a sitcom aired on Astro TVIQ Channel 610. Wow.. Interesting and also very creative! One of the ways to teach English. Not like a classroom type-boring -English Language Lesson. To my previous English Teachers and Lecturers don't get me wrong. You guys were great And I love your classes. HUHU.. Funny funny.. Like very the good.. huhu

         I guess their target audience would be for all ages. They would give a wrong statement or sentence then they will correct it. For example the video above. " Cikgu, Can you chop this letter for me?", "You want me to chop this letter?", The kid replied, " ahhh Yes, chop for me please". I think a lot of us used the same statement like he did. They then incorporate comedy where the teacher, put on a karate head band and literally chop the paper in two. :P *FacePalm* . They then correct the statement, "Can you stamp this letter?". Catchy don't you think? I laughed my head of the first time I watched this video. HAHA..

         
 

After watching Oh My English, I can't help myself wondering this sitcom is kind of familiar. Oh yeah, "Mind Your Language"!!!. I think they might have copied "Mind Your Language" concept of a sitcom. It was aired in 1977. I was not even born yet. HAHA..

          Mind your language was also a sitcom which teaches English. But I don't think that their main intention was to teach English. With a multiracial students some of the comedy integrates racial and also sexual related comedy in the sitcom. I would not think it would be appropriate for children. But it also does teach English. HAHA!!

Thanks to youtube, I can watch all their episodes. Now!! haha..


Enjoy!! BYE BYE!!!

This is a test page



Assalamualaikum, Hi there.

      I created another blog just to see how the page will look like, just to experiment on the "Dynamic Views". And I put the title as "This is a test page". Guess what. I got a lot of visitors on that page. Not alot, but yeah. There are still visitors. I wonder why.  hmmmmm. Weird...
     
      I know for a fact, that if I keep on changing and viewing the page. It will increase "Pageviews Today" in the Stats. But apparently, I did not do anything today. And I got like 15 views. Why!!??? If I keep on posting normal post on my blog 15 people will read it.  Or not read it. Or click on it. Or I don't know!! What ever. I got visitors. :P


Equation:

"Normal Post" = 15 Visitors..
    
"Weird Post" = 15 Visitors.

So, to get 30 visitors a day,

30 Visitors = Normal Post + Weird Post.

I know 30 visitors is not a big deal to all the pros out there. But it is to me!! A Noob!!! Im a Noob!! :P
