I went through pretty humbling experiences after being out here in JB. I am sure there are lots of good people all over the world as well, even especially in SG but living out here gives me more time and opportunity to mingle with people.....
Its a kind of kampong spirit i missed ever since we moved out of the kampong in SG when i was little. I wished my grandfather was still alive and living out here, he would have been proud of my dad and could enjoy the easy life he never got to enjoy(cancer took him away from me very shortly in the same year i was conscripted). I would gladly die 20 years younger if he could have live much longer and enjoy life. Bros, please stop smoking, i am still trying to convince my dad but for the sake of your loved ones, please please please stop. You may have a son, a daughter or grandchildren who always loved you silently and wants to be fillial to you but can only do so every Qing Ming, sweeping and weeping at your grave.
Hi Wuqi, only a TINY number of people can actually quit cold. Cigarette smoking is a physical addiction that you can actually get rid of in 3 weeks, but the psychological addiction is another matter. This is my story which I confessed on puterim.com, because I COULD NOT QUIT even though I desperately wanted to.
Disastrous news: cigarettes and tobacco are significantly cheaper
When the price of a box of 20 fags went up to S$11.30 three years ago, both my husband and I were still smoking and such was our addiction (more than 40 years and 30ish years respectively) we would have preferred to give up food rather than tobacco.
Coming to Johor was devastating as a box of kretek – the only thing I smoked - was a throwaway RM$5, so I increased my smoking to two packs a day, and congratulated myself on how much money I was saving. Idiot!
Well, eventually I really wanted to quit. But even six months of fervent morning prayer, the feeling of weakness and dizziness and general ill health had me lighting up within 10 minutes of getting out of bed.
Not to speak of searching out stogies in the ashtray if it was too late at night to go out for another pack. Some people can quit cold – I simply could not.
The cure took an unbelievable single afternoon (about four hours) with Pam Oei, that divine Dimsum Dollie, who teaches Allen Carr’s Easyway to Quit Smoking with a money back guarantee. My husband also quit cold, and that is after 40 long years.
Pam was herself a tobacco addict, and was so impressed by the method’s results she bought into the franchise. We didn’t even need any additional hand-holding (though she did very sweetly keep email contact open and sent encouragement).
So if you want to quit but just cannot, call Pam at (65) 63299630. I will not bore you with how gloriously liberating it is to be free of that total addiction.
There is a limited smoking ban in Malaysia for 19 categories of places, including hospitals, medical clinics, public elevators, public restrooms, air-conditioned restaurants, public transport, government premises, educational institutions, gas stations, internet cafes, and shopping complexes. This does not extend to bars, cafes, and many open areas.
Night..
