thank you for smoking

Monday, October 6th, 2008

caught this show some time back. what i like abt the show is not abt how it is justifying smoking. but abt how we tend to look at things. at least i can hear the other side of the story. i really like aaron eckhart in this show. anw, we’ve been told tt cigs are bad n all since we were little. tts the way things are.

this show could be fighting for chocolates n yet the impact would be the same. we perceive cigs as bad bcos its imbedded in us. hence, if u’re seen with one, you’re bad as well. if only the campaign against fast food is as strong the one against smoking, we prolly stop eating at the golden arches n tt colonel restaurant.

smoking is not for u to look cool or rebel. frankly, i dont think all of us shld smoke.

BUT….

its a matter of choice! choice! choice! when we understand y we do smthg, then we can justify it…or not. i may contradict myself here. anyway…..the bottomline is…

just dont listen to wat pple tell us to do. the choice is ours!

hari raya

Monday, October 6th, 2008

has been a while now. hardly go to frenster. now tt i hv a facebook. cant believe i’d sold my soul to the devil. sellout!!!!

oh no..not me..the man who sold the world…

hari raya is very different this year. this would be the first time i’m celebrating without my dad. i tot i would be sad but i guess i was wrong. it could be that i have lost the magic of the hari raya.

those who r close to me would know tt i dont believe in celebrating this special day. yes it is a holy day. but i juz feel that it is so fake. seeking forgiveness on this day makes no sense. if need to, why dont we just apologise whenever we made a mistake. then..there’s this thing abt apologising to pple we never for 1 whole year. (onli meet on this day). say sorry for wat. for the sake of it.

then again..i’m just glad tt i could celebrate. at least i have the choice to. for the less fortunate, i’m so sorry. but on this ocassion, we were all made to feel inadequate. maybe…it is time for us to rejoice!!!! even onli for 1 day.

eid mubarak everyone. may we keep the peace n love for one n all…insyallah
