fatal addiction

"Quiting is hard, not quiting is harder "





hahs, wonder if you all have seen this feaking disgusting advertisment. the first time i saw it on tv was when im alone at home. i was shocked with eyes open wide wide. really scary.

according to my mother who reads the newspaper also everyday, this advertisement has received quite alot of complaints.

some people find it too disgusting to be posted on tv especially during dinnertime. and now, it's shifted to 8 plus at night. others mention that their kids went crying around, shouting "ghost ah, ghost ah" when they saw this ad.
hahs, even big kids like me feel the fear as well, kids definitely cry lah.


i find this ad quite effective as a deterrance, preventing people from starting to smoke, but cant really help the addicts to kick this bad habit.

hopefully all those tall cool-looking and pretty babes who have that fatal packet of tobacco fries would stop smoking for the sake of their beauty and health.

on the other side, i find it really hard for those extreme addicts who have been smoking for more than a decade to kick the habit. and they are mainly the uncles and ah peks who are regular customers of void decks kopitiams and turf club. i guess the ad wont be having much impact on them. they should be well-awared of the consequences and they definitely arent smoking to look cool or suave.

apart from that, i had a pretty frightening nightmare last night. havent share it with anyone yet. shall talk about it now.

i dreamt that a very close classmate of mine... has decided to TRANSFER SCHOOL to PJ.

in the nightmare, she came to class in pj's uniform. i was stunned, i asked her for the reasons and she didnt really answer me. she looks very depressed, as if she must leave and staying in this class wont make her feel any better. =/ somehow, i feel that im the cause of it and i plead her to stay... but she refused. she's qx ):



luckily it's just a nightmare. but it's definitely something worth reflecting on.

im now down with flu and kinda hope it goes on till tuesday so that i can skip PC :X


salutes to those brave souls who are going for blood donation next week :D
ive no courage.
the tubes, the needles......... ahhhhhhhh
but... i'll try to donate next time (:
