here i am again, whining about people. like duh, the super bitchy felix will be always there for you. if you're feeling really low right now, start cursing at people or if you don't like to offend, snarls it all at your pillow. "you mother fucker. because of you and your so-called 100% made of cotton, i failed my test." See, that way, you have your piece of your mind told off and at the same time no one is going to get offended.

a friend of mine recently told me she qas going to quite smoking "on thursday" which two days away.

"why not now?" i asked.

she said "thursday" and mumbled about astrology.

it's what i think of as smoker's logic. logic that is not logical at all.

and so sometimes in august, there were good news to the smokers. the cigarette packs in singapore would be adorned with photos that huda hates [death, dying baby, bloody brain] on every pack of cigarette sold here.

the message is obvious. the ideas are simple. to put off people off smoking when they see the images. even illiterate smokers will understand.

i think i do also know how to cut down cigarette smoking by 99.999%. charge $100 per stick and i guarantee that the only thing that left smoking in singapore will be the daddy's girls stars in lingeire.

but for some reason - i don't know why - my sensible ideas will not be legislated.

will the gory pictures actually help? again, you're talking smoker's logic here. the smokers know smoking is bad. duh. they know it makes their breath stink like a public urinal. they know the smoke irritates and harms people.

they know all that. but they don't want to know. it's their logic.

let see, what do you think they think about in the middle of the night when they have that volcanic cough?

"geez, i've got to quit.. *blinking*. i think i move my hands too much when i smoke. when i move my hands too much, i notice that i have tendecy to blink and that makes me cough at night."

smoker's logic.

i'm not sure the gory pictures will work. well perhaps a few percentage decline.[ which i think is because of the price.] basically the smokers already know the consequences, or maybe the pictures are not gory enough.

so perhaps another type of picture is needed. perhaps the authorities need to stick on the cigareete packs... pictures of william hung instead. if there's one thing to put anyone off anything, it has to be the hung guy. simply because the joke has gone too far already.

william hung. if you're reading this, we are officially no longer laughing with you. we are laughing at you, around you, behind you, above you, under you, through you.

and when you come to singapore for your concert, we'll be there at the airport, throwing cigarettes packs at you. if here's anyone who wants to quit, may i suggest you do so at his concert.

no animal smokes. by that i mean : not one creature in the animal kingdom puts a burning object three inches to its face in the knowledge that if one doesn't get eaten, one could hopefully die of cancer.

a mongoose has never walked up to a shrub and thought : "hey what if i roll up these leaves and set fire to it? and then, and then... i put it in my mouth and inhale the smoke! Oh yes, why don't i... oh wait.. i have no fingers. damn it."

ask any smoker to explain why they smoke - go ahead. it's probably the same reason those people who bought william hung's cd.

simply because they want to.
