Why Drink n Drive when You can Smoke n Fly
Met up with Leslie the night before.
It has been quite some time since I last went out with him. It seemed that he had gotten an X-Box and wanted someone who could accompany him to go modify it. I don't think anyone would want to buy an X-Box instead of a PS2. It is because of Starhub which made this possible. Sign up a cable plan and the X-Box is yours for free. Luckily it's an X-Box we are talking about. If it was K-Box voucher instead, it would have been redundant. Those internet hardcore Gamers wouldn't have known what to do with it.
Anyway.. after passing the console to the shop owner, Leslie was feeling hungry and we decided to go eat something. We wandered around Tampines Mall looking for a place. The place has changed alot ever since the management found out that it was losing out. There were many new shops, mostly restaurants. Even the top level had been opened and everyone could access to the outside. It is an open spaced area where functions could be held. I am hoping that the next Zouk Out will be held there so that I need not travel all the way to Sentosa. I simply just have to wear a T-Shirt, shorts with slippers and walk to Tampines Mall as though I am going downstairs to buy newspapers.
We ended up in one of the food courts in Century Square. We got our food, sat down and started catching up with the times which we have both missed out. The usual stuffs... and he also mentioned about smoking, considering the facts that prices are going up fast.
He told me that he still couldn't figure out how the hell I managed to stop smoking.
Well.. Smoking is indeed something which is over for me. Something which is in my past that I would never pick up again. I started smoking when I was in Sec 3, if I could remember correctly. Started smoking as in to smoke regularly. First started trying out would be around Sec 1 or 2, when I was introduced into it by some bastards.
I never should have tried it at all.
I quit smoking about 4 or 5 months before I was enlisted in the army. Altogether I had been smoking for 8 years and now it is merely a thing of the past.
I told Leslie that it is all in the Mind.
Focus on what you want to achieve and nothing can overcome it.
But of course, it aint something which is easy at all.
Some people say that they are trying to quit and will start by cutting down the amount of cigarettes. But frankly speaking, it's Bullshit if you ask me. Whole lot of crap.
If you want to quit, just go for it.
How I did it?
Based on a few factors.
Main one would be obviously money. Think about how much money you are wasting on.
It may be little at first, but you will see the difference in time to come.
Try to think about the future. When you are going to get married and have kids. Would you still be smoking for the sake of them? I guess not. If you would quit ultimately when you settle down, why not start sooner so that you can save up even more money for other stuffs. Notice that the main factor is still involved.
Spare a thought for your family. If they are people who wouldn't want you to smoke at all, how do you think they would feel if they found out you are smoking secretly behind their back. They wouldn't want you to smoke at all if given a choice. My dad talked to me about this before when I was still smoking. I could practically see tears coming out from his eyes and it left an unbearable shame in my mind whenever I thought about it. He is a wonderful dad and I shouldn't have let him down at all.
Fuck the health part. It didn't bother me a single bit.
If it wasn't getting expensive, I probably would be still smoking now.
I used to smoke in my room whenever I needed to.
I would open the windows widely with the fan at full blast facing outside. I couldn't really on the Air-Con right after because of the smell. Back then, I could sacrifice alot for smoking. I had to keep the windows open and the fan blowing for quite some time before I could switch on the Air-Con. It would be less obvious and I could say that the smell came from my worn clothings. I remembered many nights which I didn't even bother to wait and went straight to sleep. It's amazing how smoking can change your way of living. Nowadays, if the aircon isn't on, it only means that I am probably spending the night somewhere else.
I had to lock my door whenever I had to smoke.
Sometimes my mom would come into my room and put the clothes in the wardrobe. When she found out that the door was locked she would shout at me
'Smoking inside ah!? Why you locked the door??'
I would then shout back with a 'No Lah!' and flick the remaining cigarette out of the window.
Normally when I am at home, I will close my door but I won't lock it.
There are only 2 reasons anyone would suspect if I locked the door.
I could be watching porn and masturbating,
or I could be smoking.
Either way I am fucked.
In order for me to overcome this, I would wait for everyone to go to sleep before I unlock my door. Then I would go to bed myself and act blur the next day.
Smoking kept me in a good shape too. I used to be quite thin back then. I would rather spend money on cigarettes rather than on food.
I have became a total blob ever since I stopped.
Put on so much weight until people might think that smoking isn't such a bad idea after all.
Nevertheless, I am proud to announce that I am officially a non-smoker.
For those who have known me since long time back, you ought to salute and respect me.. for some of you have tried but couldn't make it. Having to quit is not what anyone can achieve but I managed to succeed.
I am glad that I have made the right choice...
and if there is a popular demand,
I don't mind giving you my autograph.
