Free From the Smoke…

May 6th, 2006 by darren2108

It has been exactly 1 month and 1 day i have not been smoking, hooray… finally free from the toxins and smell of the cigarettes. proud to say that i m a non smoker now..hehe…Well, the happiest person now would be my mum and my gf, mum has been nagging me about this everytime she calls, haha..

Abit history about my smoking habbit, started smoking when i was still in high school, occasionaly, i think about 2 days a week, that time i was still working as a casual worker in a hotel during the weekends, and most of my friends smokes. thats when i smoke but not addicted that time.  When i went to England, thats when i started to smoke everyday.. that continued on for a few years until i went back to Penang, I think in year 2000 i stopped. wasn’t smoking for bout 3 years and pick up the habit again in 2004 when i went back to Penang after working in sin for a while. What started me back to smoking would be alcohol i think.. started to go clubbing few times a week, so when u add a club, alcohol, friends who smokes and temptations, the habit came back and has been smoking until a month ago.  Luckily the company enrolled me in a smoking cessation program..fully paid by the company. hehe… Dr. Tan was great, she gave us lots of information about smoking, taught us how to slowly stop..but end of the day, i think it still depends a lot on ourselves, our willpower to want to stop. 

It wasn’t easy initially, the temptations was always there, i failed a few times cos we are supposed to set a quit date.. but i always postpone it..haha. but finally one day i told myself, enough is enough.. determination helps.  And what do i get from not smoking, well..hehe, better health, no more smelly hands and fingers and bad breath.. save lots of money(ciggy r so ex now).  haha.. To those who wants to quit, give yourselves a chance in life.. set a quit date and work from there… the first step is very important.

Why am I cursed?

I am so sad..Geraldine just went back to her country yesterday.  From now onwards i’ll be all alone, miss her so much and its only bout 2 days ago, to those out there who knows me, u should know that all my relationships ended with each other being apart as in long distance, sometimes i do wondered whether I am cursed.  When i come back home after work now, its so quiet at home, dark and lonely.  Wish she could come back here soon… Why? Why?…

It seems that I always write this t 4.30 huh… after so many days of work, finally off for 3 days. Didn’t go anywhere yesterday except went back to the zoo to attend a class… Breakeven class.  Well, at least I learnt something new eventhough have to go back for a while.  Raining very heavily this morning, so nice to sleep. Haha… This month spend spend spend again… haha. Bought a new camera last week, but still dunno how to use it properly yet. haha.

Today, went shopping again, and got my gf a christmas gift.  MP3 player…she was so happy. Well, anything for her as long as she is happy right… Christmas is just round the corner, gonna be busy busy at work this weekend.

Its now 4.30 in the morning… still awake writing my first post in a blog, haven’t done it before, m always curious whats a blog actually.. Its my off today, after 6 days working, a bit tiring.  Thinking of the next few weeks schedule, so few offs cos of the attachment to Ben & Jerrys and david going on leave. But no worries, my leave will come soon, hopefully. hehe…Luckily tomorrow I m off as well, can sleep till late.  Been in Singapore for ten months dee, life has been much much more better than in Penang, No more being poor all the time, still remember when sometimes there was only few cents in my pocket, not even enough for a roti canai, well, thats the past… shouldn’t have joined prudential. Bad mistake…

Well, we as humans do make bad decisions sometimes. At least now I have a great job, a girlfriend, my own room, with all the things I need, spent a lot the past few months on shopping for my new place, tv, furnitures, dvd, laptop… but its all worth it. 

M blessed to have met Geraldine, She is such a lovely girl, even though a bit bad tempered sometimes..hehe. But I still Love her.  She’s cool… Hopefully she will be able to come back to sin next year.

As for Bongo, Its a very nice restaurant, really glad that i am working there now, to those of u out there who have not been to Bongo, u all should give it a try one day when u r in sin.  Great food, great staffs… but it will burn your pocket a bit. haha…which is good, if not, how am i gonna get my bonus next year. haha..

Went to JB this afternoon, My usual routine once a month, traffic is bad, so congested, gotta pay 2 ringgit extra to that taxi driver cos he says he gotta take a bigger u turn. How i wish if the public transportation in malaysia are like sin.  Had a new hair cut today, costs me $41 but its ok la. better than the $10 hair cut that uses a vacuum to suck the hair after cutting.haha… one time is enough.
