Plead With Smokers.

You know that smoking is bad for health.
You have seen the disgusting ads of rotting mouths and lungs,
And black tar oozing from the heart,
When you continue to smoke your life away.

Despite all that you continue to smoke.
Even if you don't care about your health,
Please spare a thought for others,
Your family, friends, strangers on the street like me.

You should have heard this all before,
Second-hand smoke has at least twice the amount of nicotine and tar as the smoke inhaled by the smoker,
And five times the amount of carbon monoxide.


I plead to you...
Please don't smoke when you are on the pedestrian walkway.
I have a hard time holding my breath,
Avoiding the poisonous gas you puff out,
As I walk behind you.

Please don't smoke at the bus stop.
If you don't know yet,
It is against the law to do so.
It will be even better if you try not to smoke anywhere
Remotely near the bus stop.

Please don't sit or stand near me
After you have just smoked.
If you have not noticed,
You smell like you have terrible BO.
And when you open your mouth,
It smells of thousand rotting fish.
That takes my breath away.

And if you really want to smoke,
Near the bus stop,
Near the rest of the non-smokers,
Please dispose your cigarette butt properly.
No need to pretend nobody's watching
When you flick it onto the ground.
I saw you!
The last time you did that.

Thank you for answering to my pleads.
You can smoke as much as you please.
It is your given right.
Just when you do,
Please give others a consideration.

A lot of smokers don't realise the discomfort of non smokers, so here's a way to shoo them off.

If i walk past a smoker, i make sure i stare at their lighted cigarettes like i am going to kill them. Most of the times, they got the hint and move somewhere else. Oh remember this, please don't do this to a GROUP of smokers.

Thanks for the tips.

Hah hah. I will remember not to do so to a group. It'll probably be too much for me to handle!

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too

Dreaming About You.

I usually leave my handphone on during the night (just in case if anyone want to contact me urgently, eg. a friend in need of help etc). But I think I will be leaving my phone off from now on. Why? In the wee hours this morning, I received three continuous sms . I forced myself outta bed to read the message, thinking it must be something very important. I surprised to read that they were messages from " Dreamchat ", telling me that " someone is dreaming of me ". Oh great! What a good reason to wake me up! It also asked me to call this 1900 number to listen to the message. There was even a member id at the end... So someone still wide awake in the middle of the night decided to use this wonderful service to let me know he/she is dreaming of me leh. wah seh. I immediately deleted the messages and went back to sleep. Knowing I will just have a few more hours of my six hours daily sleep time left. How did this " Dreamchat " thingy got my handphone number? Is
