smoked
Y'know, the local authorities recently banned smoking in lots of so-called "public spaces", pubs, bus stops, air-conditioned areas, toilets etc...it actually leads me to think the only legal place to smoke will be right in the garbage bin itself (and you better put out that ciggy before it burns down the bin!). Well, i'm not much of a smoker really...i'm more of a 2nd smoke addict, i think i have too many pals who smoke =)so i'm just lamenting on behalf of them(i'm such a nice guy)... it can't be helped, ask any male who has been conscripted in the army and they'll tell you being a friend of a smoker means no mosquitoes when you're out in the field! Seriously, do you think the enemy will care so much if you smoke? they'll never notice the ciggy lights or wispy smoke of a Marlboro...they're busy lighting up too!

In any case, the authorities should be busy thinking of ways to curb the haze/smog/pollution in the air these days. I was so overwhelmed by the haze the other day that i thought it was a tear-gas initiation all over again (gas! gas! gas!).
And i am incensed(pardon the pun) enough with the folks in Sumatra/Indonesia to take down the "donation for tsunami victims" image on the right scroll bar you've been familiar with the past months. Heck, why the hell should i canvas for donations for a country that doesn't even try to help other nations affected by haze from their bush-fires?
