Congrats to Yea Chern who is now legally a husband. I was at Thean Hou Temple in the morning with Lee, Wen Shing and her sister the personality cum makeup artist. Of course, the family members of both the groom and bride were there too. I was there because he’s one of my best buddy and Lee and I were the cameramen. Well, I missed Ng’s and Towkay’s, I don’t wanna miss this because I don’t know who will be the next… how soon will it be. Lee, everyone’s looking at you. Hehehehe.

The whole session was quick. In less than 5 minutes for signing papers, taking oath and exchanging rings, it was over. The guy administering the affair talk like a preprogrammed voice recording machine in fast forwarding mode. After that, the whole morning was spent taking pictures at various places around the temple vicinity. There were many middle eastern tourists which came by the bus loads. They were amazed at seeing my friend and his wife and almost everyone whipped out their cameras to take pictures of Yea Chern’s wife. Everyone.

Congrats bro. Treat your wife right. Hope I can be godfather soon, ok.

The brotherhood (heng tai) posed before setting out the convoy to the bride’s place. We were all very excited and happy for Towkay. Hope that by mid-autumn festival next year, we can have a baby to play with. Oh yeah, the 2 married fellas were standing right behind me. I was wearing my Hello Kitty t-shirt.

Oh yeah, another old friend getting married this coming Thursday. Bread Toaster is getting married. Loh Ti Kei. Dinner will be at Summit Square. Arrrgh, everyone’s getting married. So many gatherings. Yay.

A few days ago, I went to this collision repair centre and the in charge person there offered me cigarette because before this I always took his cigarette. Its normal. Pau.

This time, I said no and he was like “What?????”. I told him I quited and he asked “how come?”. Then i explained to him about my mishap and he was speechless.

I now know, the more you tell people you’ve quited smoking, the more determined you’ll be to stay away from it. Its proven on me. Just tell someone a day that you’re not smoking anymore and you be away from the darkside.

The article in Reader’s Digest (August 2007) really helped.

When you sit in the office in the afternoon… after lunch… before tea break… and feeling sleepy. Who do you think of? Dunhill. Who? Marlboro. What? Salem. Anyone else? Sampoerna.

Well, I kinda miss them and at time I really thought of meeting them at the staircase but I’m fighting. Tak nak. Satan and Angel are standing next to me.

Satan: endroo, go now.. go meet your old friend Mr Dunhill at the staircase. You’re sleepy, go take a break.
Angel: No endroo…. you’ve come so far for not smoking… its for your own good. Look at you now, you’re getting healthier… a little bit of withdrawal symptom is normal and must be overcome.
Satan: But do you still remember the time when you’re tired, stressed out… and the first puff got you so energised.. How good that was..
Angel: No…. go drink coffee, eat some sweets.. black Hacks.

endroo: Arrgh!! If my late grandad did it with black Hacks, I will too !!

Join me in quitting smoking for a better health. Seriously, I feel better without smokes. Skin is better, no bad breath, not so smelly and I save some money.. I can get a casing for my ipod. Oh yeah, Ng, I’ve stopped contributing to your fat annual bonus by stop smoking. As if you gave me some of your bonus.

RM 8.20 x 7 = RM 57.40

RM 8.20 x 30 = RM 246.00

RM 8.20 x 365 = RM 2993.00

RM 246.00 x 12 = RM 2952.00

I’m taking my granny’s advice. It’s all up to yourself. If you have the will, everything also can quit. But I’m not gonna quit drinking. Occasionally, I need some beer and G stout. I’m afraid something will happen to my already displaced set of teeth. Smoking might cause inflammation to my gum or my teeth. I’m scared like shit. I don’t want my teeth to be like her’s.

Those of you who had oral surgery… tooth extraction, jaw reconstruction etc… don’t smoke !!

By not smoking, I have more appetite to eat and I hope I can gain some weight. Its weird. Someone who use to be very thin will wanna be fatter and vice versa. Someone who was fat will wanna be thinner.

Here’s the article in Reader’s Digest that made me wanna quit smoking… and then the accident happened. Avoided the earthquake in East Java (was scheduled to go to Solo, Jogjakarta, Borobudur). A blessing in disguise as my dad said. Life had never been better.
