Quit Smoking! (LIUWL)


SAY NO TO SMOKING
LIVE IT UP WITHOUT LIGHTING.

Well yes, today I'm gonna do a write up about my views on smoking and why you shouldn't!

As you guys know, smoking became a really common thing amongst us teens these days. Do you actually know that each time you light up a cigarette, it's not only YOU who stands a chance of being highly prone to suffer from a heart attack or lung cancer? 

The life expectancy of a smoker is cut short by 10- 12 years and more than half of all smokers die from smoking-related diseases. 

The younger the onset of smoking the longer one will most likely smoke and younger one is more likely to die. Smoking is a slow killer, not just to the smoker but to those also around him as they are affected by second- hand smoke.

You affect those people around you! Second-hand smokers are at a even higher risk of suffering from smoke-related diseases. Even though half the time, when you're smoking, majority of the cancer causing agents may be left in your lungs, the smoke that is thereafter exhaled ALSO contains carcinogens. 

Hence, anyone can spend their entire life without coming into contact with a cigarette only to contract lung cancer from the second hand smoke they inhaled their entire lives. 

Hence, the reason why many public places are not categorized into "smoking" and "non-smoking" area. 

From what I observed, people start smoking either due to stress, peer pressure or simply because they think it's COOL (which is the stupidest thought ever).

If you're stress, why not find something else to do? There are so many other things in life that are able to help you reduce stress caused from the amount of workload or personal problems you have! 

Eat desserts, go on vacations, go on dates with your friends, read a book, surf the net, play some water sports etc!

Peer pressure; I really hate those friends that encourage their companies to pick up smoking. Put it in a blunt way, it's like; YOU WANNA DIE, YOU DIE ALONE. DON'T DRAG YOUR FRIENDS ALONG.

Ok kidding. But seriously, if you claim to be a "friend" then do what friends are really suppose to do. Help each other, not harm one another... lol.

It's cool? Do you really think you'd find it cool when nicotine and other chemicals starts invading your entire skin, mouth and nose... and you result to be...



LOOK! IT'S DAMN GROSS PLEASE.
Every time I see these cigarette boxes, a reminder immediately pops up in my head that I NEVER WANNA LOOK THIS WAY.

Moreover, 20 cigarettes a day, are three-times more likely to wrinkle prematurely than non-smokers, and the effect is more pronounced in women than in men. These wrinkles are unavoidable and irreversible.



The long term effects of smoking on your appearance can cause unsightly deep grooved crow's feet, vertical furrows above the lips, broken capillaries, thinning skin and the trademark grey hue to the complexion that all smokers suffer.

For me, I'm f*cking cautious about my looks and anal about my impression that people have on me. Which is why I've never tried smoking even though 3/4 of my friends are smokers. (I think I'm gonna die earlier though) -_-

And for smoking mothers, are you actually aware that you might cause your kids to suffer from improper growth? Think for them please.

Besides all these harmful effects to your health and appearance, you lose a huge sum of money too by smoking! 

1 box per day = $10. 
365 days = ? At least $3650!!! ~ $4k.

Even though my maths sucks to the effin core and beyond, I'm aware of how much it actually costs! Sucha waste of money!

Seriously, if you've so much money donate some to me lah...... I can use those money to buy more shoes, clothes or even have a nice plastic surgery to improve my looks which I'm unsatisfied about. LOL.


I know it's hard to quit but do something about it, don't wait till you regret!
If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses~
No one will bury you in satin ok, stop dreaming.

Random Thoughts.


This post is gonna be really dry and boring! I just thought I'd update a little since I haven't for the past few days. Bear with me or just look through the small amount of camwhore shots (haven't been taking much pictures recently, so I'm sorry for the lack of it!)

As much as I have to constantly remind myself that it's school the next day, I really hate Sundays! Who's in with me? :( 

My first paper for O's will be right there, in front of me... In less than 3 months... And I'm really terrified about it even though it's Mother Tongue. Since I was born my parents barely speak to me in Chinese and I never really liked this subject though it's one of my best subjects since young. Ironic.

Remembering how in Primary school, upon receiving back my paper and seeing a nightmare score of 60, it was good enough for an hour of hardcore lecture back home.

After since I stepped into my Secondary school life, I swear the amount of problems arose like nobody's business, and above that... I still had to deal with them to find time to study!

I swear it was really tough trying to cope with my studies after since I had a social life. 

"Good grades + Sleep = No social life. Good grades + Social life = No sleep. Social life + Sleep = Bad grades."

I bet half of you are aware where I'm coming from. *Sigh*
I'm always in a dilemma, forever fickle minded, forever losing determination on something I wanna do. I'm always losing interest in something after awhile, and that's probably one my worst habit. 

Well, now that I'm 16... I'm starting to have a clearer view of what I really wanna do in future, but I'm still lack of the motivation to strive towards my goal. I'm a really lazy person fyi.

My grades have always been lingering around the borderline. Never the end, never the top. Yea, I study, but not hardcore kind. Unless I'm suddenly smacked in the head by reality that it's time I wake up from my dreams and do something about my life. 

Which happens every once in awhile, but it never lasts, just like flames to dust!!!!! I really need to sort things out before it's too late and get started on it. I don't wanna end up crying my way back home next year, fretting on what to be in future... A road sweeper? That's what they always say.

I wanna write and I'm definitely hoping to be able to pursue that in future!!!! That's my dream (for now) Hope it isn't one of my temporary decisions again.




So I thought I'd like to share my two new pair of shoes I've got recently!!! I really love them. Aren't they purdy?! And I've a crazy obsession for pretty heels! Although I know Litas is hell common, but my gf said it was way tooooo  me, so I had to get it.

I've been splurging to an insane extent recently after since I've got signed and started working. I've to stop. Urgh. 





I'll share my shoe collection the next time round!!! :D

Anyway, the following part is mainly for my supporters (or friends)!

Recently, a lot of things took placed... Yea, all the trashing and bashing shit. Hopefully it's coming to an end already. I just wanna thank each and every single one of you! Be it whether you texted me, emailed me, facebook msged me, tweet to me... Whatever. I really appreciate all of your really sweet thoughts!

I swear you guys made my life so much better, I love you guys to bits! *Virtual hugs and kisses*

& Lastly, for those who are still unaware... I lost my phone!!! So I'm sorry if I didn't reply to texts and all. Cya guys again! :)

Live It Up Without Lighting up


Have you guys planned anything for your following week? Especially those who are still left with about 3 weeks more till school starts... I thought, why not check out this event that will be held this coming Wednesday?

Let's embrace a Smoke-Free Lifestyle!

Well, just to let you guys have a rough idea of what's this about...

Objective: The movement seeks to get youth excited about leading a tobacco-free lifestyle. It symbolises young people pursuing their talents and engaging in positive activities, such as sports, dance and music. It taps on the power and energy of the young individual to fight against tobacco.

Facts that you might be unaware of: 
▶ Better looks without lighting up - Smoking produces free radicals that affect the gene that causes the breakdown of elastin and collagen. Without sufficient collagen for renewal, the smoker’s skin gradually loses its elasticity, and becomes dry and wrinkly. Apart from that, smoking also stains teeth and increases the risk of gum disease.

 Better fitness without lighting up - The carbon monoxide found in tobacco smoke is the same gas
found in a car's exhaust system. Carbon monoxide interferes with the body's ability to use the oxygen
inhaled to provide energy to cells and prevents the transport of oxygen to various parts of the body,
including the brains, lungs and muscles. Research has shown that a runner who smokes 20 cigarettes a
day is unable to beat a non-smoker 12 years older!

 Better spending power without lighting up - On average, a pack of cigarettes costs $11.60 in
Singapore. Smoking one pack a day will cost a smoker about $4,000 a year. That’s a lot of money that
could have been spent on dance, sports or other lessons, watching a concert or an international sporting
event, a great pair of shoes or a classy outfit that you have been eyeing, and maybe even a holiday
overseas!

 Better environment without lighting up - It is estimated that 2000 km2 of forests and woodlands are cut down each year because of tobacco farming. This is equivalent to destroying trees that can cover almost
3 times Singapore’s land size of 707 km2 every year! Also, the growing of tobacco also means that less
land is available for food crops. It has been estimated that about 10 to 20 million people could be fed if
food crop is grown on lands used to grow tobacco.

Details:
Join me (Yes, I will be attending) and many others
to catch this breath-taking Dance battle on this one and only Dance Party!
