I Quit!

Fag, coffin nail, butt, gasper, cancer stick...whatever it is...I would rather call it "Killers that travel in packs"

Been smoking for awhile now. Did stopped for 2 years way back in the early 90s and due to influence of others picked it up again until that one fateful night of July 6 2007, I guess enough is enough..I officially quit smoking.

It has been a week now and I am feeling fine really though at times the

craving is terribly bad especially when work load is at maximum gear with all the unwanted stress going around.

In life I think we need to compensate and sacrifice certain things. For me I have decided to sever this relationship with the Marlboro Man after the only person who cared and loved me discarded me. You might say it is a way to redeem myself..sigh.

Yeah,of course when my friends smokes infront of me I will be tempted but I am good so far and shall be pretty please with myself if I can pull through. The only time I will be tested fully will be when I am drinking...alcohol I mean. Ciggys are the best compliment! No doubts I am struggling at times when I am depress and need a puff badly. So far I am in "cruise control".

Do I have the mental capacity to withstand nicotine?

Call me if you want to know....

Are you technically savvy for the 21st Century?

Handphones, Digital Cameras, IPods, MP3, you want em' go get em'. Only problem is which one..what brand..slim or flip, how user friendly are they and how much?

Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, LG, Samsung...the big boys just to name a few. When the 1st one ever came out in early 1990s (or is it not), the sole purpose was just to be able to make and receive calls. Fantastic invention in comparison to the much used pager then which was dominated locally by Electcoms Berhad in the from the early 80s. A first step towards modern technology.

Mobile phones and digital cameras continues to be one of the crowd pullers. Buying power is huge. We see them everywhere we go. The choices are immensely wide and awesome and at some point complicated. Gone are the days where a phone only function is just to "call". The 21st Century offers more than what we can bargain for...question is, can we keep up with them? From 3G to megapixel cameras to UGA cameras for video call to MP3 that can store thousands of songs, mobile internet and recently a phone with navigation, the Nokia 6110.

The 1st mobile phone was a very huge Motorola monster and a hit together with the car phone ATUR. Its function ability beside the normal calls also acts as a tool and protection! That chunk of thing is so sturdy that I won't be surprise it will be able to dent up your car or at least knock any of us out cold at a throw! Recently, we had the Siemens Blackberry, the French Government banned it for fear that the US might use the phone for spying and espionage purposes. Oh, I got to tell you this, one of my collegue at work is using a phone that is able to calculate the ladies monthly cycle and by doing that will be able to tell us whether we are pregnant of not!! Is that cool or what?

I have been toying with the idea of changing my handphone soon. Well, my Sony Ericsson and Panasonic has served me well but just to keep up with the trend. Yo the kakak selling nasi lemak near my office is using a Motorola Razor ZR god damn it!!! It is just a want really not need.

What I actually need more is a digital camera. Need to scout around for one with a good price. Nikon Cool Pix, Sony, or a Panasonic Lumix..choices, choices, choices...

I would really prefer a digital SLR..oh sure they are bulky but solid as a rock! Yeah digital SLR would be grand and superb...Canon, Olympus, Nikon or Pentax...decision, desicion, decision..sigh

I shudder to think what these gadgets will be able to do or be like 10 years away from now.

Beam me up Scottie....

Blossoming Jasmine

Jasmine or Mo Li Hua

1) a synonum for Jessomines also spelled Jasmin

2) a common name for other plants that have heavily fragnant flower

3) a treasured friend

There are hundreds species of Jasmine you could possibly find around us, also known as a tender and tropical shrubs and vines..ah, what a plant! And the sweetly and heavenly fragnant tea consumed by millions. For me Jasmine is not just a plant..Jasmine is more that that!

I only knew one Jasmine who is absolutely magnificient, caring and has a tremendously good heart..a wonderful soul. Well liked and loved all the way. Nothing will be able to replaced her in my heart. She blossomed and bloomed wonderfully the last time I saw her. Gone were the days she felt insecure and lost...now she has blossomed into a pretty and sweet flower full of confidence and full of goals. My admiration for her has always been there but I over stepped that special boundary. She was and still is a jewel in my heart.

Our journey ended last night 6 July 2007. I lost my Jasmine. Our path might never cross again but I hope she will at least have a little spot for me in a small corner of her petals.

"Bedewed the Jasmine bud awake

And felt life coursing through

Its petals caressed by balmy sunshine

Unfolding as if on cue

Nestled among the other flower

It shone like a jewel

It's fragrance truly a heady one

It was special, you could tell"

Thank you for the wonderful memories

You are irreplacable.

I will miss you, I shall miss you......always.

God Bless
