Things about quit smoking

It had been 3 months since the last time i smoke, I'm very scare to tell people that i had quitted smoking. As i always say that i had quitted smoking, but every time after 1 or 2 weeks I'll smoke again.

Especially my GF, every time i told my GF i had quitted smoking she was so happy, but every time when i started smoking again she begin to lose trust in me. i felt sad, disappointed, and sometimes even depressed about the things she said to me even after i tried my best to quit smoking.

This really turn me off for quitting smoking, cos i had to lied to my GF when i smoke. And i really hate so much when i lied to her, sometimes i even think that i am useless as even i can't survive one day without smoking.

Till now after i had not been smoking, i do not dare to tell people that i had quit. I only tell them that i had stop smoking instead of quit. As I'm scare that i may disappoint them again.

The things i had done to prevent myself from smoking, are having less money in my pocket (so that I'll not have enough money to buy cigarette), drink more water (whenever i feel like smoking), keeping myself busy with work (so that i can keep my mind on my job instead of smoking), will try to think of my GF, my family, and people who care about me (so that i can feel their love to me, and i will take care of my health, so that i can live long, take good care of them and stop bring them trouble.), I'll also look at news about how harmful smoking will cause.

As you know smoking will cause lots of health problem including cancer, heart disease, and alot more others (which is mention by lot's of people especially MOH.

Now even smoking pollutes the air and quite often the ground. However, it is not always obvious how or how much smoking pollutes. Cigarettes contain over 4000 chemicals which are exhaled and released into the air and the atmosphere.

The pollution caused by cigarettes does not stop in our bodies or the air; it also affects the land we live on and the water that we drink. Millions of cigarette butts are discarded onto the ground every day. Some of the cigarette butts will be picked up by people, but there are millions more not picked up and will end up in the rivers and lakes where fish and animals eat them by mistake and quite often die from it. This really turn me off from smoking as i like fishing, but when all the fish dies off because of my cigarette butt i will hate myself so much.

The rest are left on the ground to decompose which will take an average of 25 years while all of the chemicals and additives leach into the ground and pollute the soil and the plants. Which will cause the plants grows slower or even dies off, i wanted my children to see the plants, flowers, trees, and the wild life which i see now. This is another reason i consider for not smoking.

Do you know that, for every 300 cigarette you smoke you kill a full grown tree. There is the land used to grow the crops all over the world that could be put to better use by planting more trees or food for starving children in third world countries. These crops are also often sprayed with a lot of harmful pesticides and chemicals because tobacco is a very fragile plant and is likely to pick up disease.

And ofcos the money spend on cigarette, now cigarette cost more (around S$11.30) if you smoke 1 pack per day which is the average for most smoker, then one year you will spend around S$4124.50. Do you know that you can buy what with all that money? for me i got my Camera (Pentax K-x cost: S$700++) and a Tamron 70-300mm lens and other lots more (including two Coach bag for both my Auntie and my GF Cost around S$1000). See this is the benefit i get from from stop smoking, and i had waste 13 years of my money on cigarette, which i had regretted.

So to the people out there, stop smoking i know it's difficult as i had gone through. And i know if i can do it so can you. It's all about your will, and if you have the guts quit it and be like a man, and stop whining about your excuses for stop smoking.

And for those who aren't smoking, don't even think of having your first cigarette. Believe me one you had it, it's had to quit.

Trying out HDR and some other photo took on that day

Last Saturday, i when to Waterfront City in JB. That time i actually wanna to do some fishing, and my GF came along with me too. Then while i was fishing the sky suddenly turn dark, and the first thing come across my mind is that it's good to try the HDR function of my camera.

Then i bring out my tripod, camera and some other setup.

Then these are what i took:




Here are others photos i took on that day.

First time buy things online

I know that it could be lame, as this is the first time i brought things online. Before i was scare buying things online, as i heard alot of story about people lying to you and cheat your money. And that's why i don't buy things online, but after two purchases i made this week, i feel that it not all of the people is like what the news had said.

The two purchases i made is from two different guy and company, one i meet him up then i pay the other i pay through his account and ask him to post the product to be.

Both of them keep their words and i receives the goods.

First, I'll talk about the one who i meet up with him. His name is Jon from www.reddotphoto.com.sg, i meet him at Potong Pasir MRT at around 6.30pm. And he really made it on time, or maybe 1 or 2 mins late. I forgive him because he provided a very good reason for been late by 2 mins (although it's not too much), but he wanna to give me a discount of $2(When the product only cost $12). when i hand over him the money he also reminded me to check the product even i had forgotten myself.

Overall, his service is very good and i will definitely buy from him again.

And this is the product i had brought from him.

It's a Pop-up Diffuser

Now for the other guy his name is Dimage, I transfer the money to him and i sms him to ask him to reply me when he receives the money, but he did not reply me till i called him to ask him. Although the things he sell is rather cheap compare to other, but the good when i received, when in a very good shape as there are some scarthes on the casing, and there's some dust on the filter's lens. But after some cleaning myself i get it all off.

Overall, I'm quite disappointed. But for the price he's give I'll may buy things from him but not those really expensive one......

This is the item i brought from him.


Now i had more trust in the online business, but when buying things online, we still had to do some research on the guy, company, and site which you wanna to buy from. Then ask people around for their experience with them. After all it's all about trust.

What The Bra???

Today as i arrived to my company, i saw two bra hanging on the rail of the drain just outside the gate of my company. So i use my Canon to take these pictures to share with you.




Now i know why some of the guys here stay for free OT, cos got night activity going on. Or is some aunty washes her bra here then hang it there for it to dry up??

What is best?

In Oxford English Dictionary, The word "Best" means the most excellent of desirable type or quality. Or most appropriate, advantageous, or well advised.

But in real world what does it take to be the best, what is the best? Is that a best person in this world? For me the answer is both no and yes, it really depend on how you treat things in life. Whether it's work, love, family, or even personal life, we should give what we can and live life to it's fullness.

In work, although you give your best, it's not necessary is the thing you wanna achieve or others expect from you. So what can you do, stopping here and keep telling people "This is the best i can do", or "That's impossible it can't be achievable". Sometime in life, it's not giving your best for doing it one time, sometime you had to give your best for a few time. And if you had done that, and still the result is the same. Then maybe giving up is an option you should take, as sometime forcing something you try so many time and had no result is useless.

I once heard from someone who is really great in their work telling me this, "When you say no or can't, you are giving up without even fighting. When you say I'll try and not doing it, it's like just talking and didn't do anything. But when you say I can do it and you really give your best in doing it, you would succeed."

And through these years working in Singapore, in different company. I saw lots of people, and come out with two tactic which is commonly use in Singapore working culture.

First is the "qian kun da mo yi" Big Shifting Skill. This is a very powerful skill which is use by lots of people. It is commonly use when trouble is created by one person and he/she will shift the blame to others.

Second is the "si xin da fa" Big Absorbing Skill. This is also a very powerful skill to learn, when you want your boss to think that you are good. It is commonly use when someone had achieve something and the other just Absorb/Steal your idea to make it his/her own.


Now for love, "how to be the best lover for you other half?", "What can i do to be/give the best i could for him/her", or maybe "Is she/him the best for me"

Before you ask all the above questions, you had to ask yourself "Are you happy with this person right now?", If yes, you are half way there. The other half will be from him/her.

There isn't a single best lover in this world, there's only the one you love in this world. Love can be nothing, and love can be everything. it's all depend on individual.


And for the question "What can i do to be/give the best i could for him/her". I can't answer you at all as me myself also donno the answer.

Best? i could say nothing to it, it's only a word to described yourself or other. To be the best, what is the best? Till now no one could give me a define answer to this.

So what can we do?

Marina Bay Sands

Yesterday i went to Marina Bay Sands, I arrive at Marina Bay MRT and i walk all the way to there.



And this tall building catch my attention.


On the way there, there's this place which have a very good sight of the city area. If you going there I'll also recommend this place, very good for taking photo cos very few people are there.


When I'm almost there, when i going across the road. The view of the Marina Bay Sands is so majestic, that i had to stop at the middle of the road to take this photo.


Then i have finally reach there, i saw the entrance, and this is the only entrance you can get in from this side. Please remember.


These are some of the photos i took outside the Marina Bay Sands.



Then i enter to the building, and took some photos inside. Inside the building the people who are working there are very friendly, and i really like the way they acted when i ask them some questions. All of them reacted in the same manner, a very good manner.






There's a band going on at that time, and surprisingly to me, they are all Ang Mo. They are so friendly too, when they saw me taking their photo they also show me the peace sign. See:


After that i went on with my photo taking.






After that, i went underground and crossover to the Conventional Hall:







After that, i leave the place and went on to esplanade. On the way there, there's a bridge that you need to cross to get over there. Which i took most of my Marina Bay Sands photos there:





















After walking for more than 15 mins, i reach esplanade. But i do not know who to take the esplanade circle line MRT, so i walked all the way to City Link, and took the MRT at City Hall back to Seng Kang.

It was a tiring trip, but it's really worth it.
