A friend is quitting smoking. I’m very, very curious to know how it feels to remove something you’re so addicted to from your life, cold turkey.

So i decided to have an interview with him.

Cheesie: Why did you decide to do something so impossible?
Friend: I’m afraid that i’ll cough up black phlegm one day. Hehe. No la. I promised my girlfriend to quit smoking and i love her very much.
Cheesie: That’s so sweet. How are you feeling now, having not touched a cigarette for four days?
Friend: *gasps* Very tulan. I feel like smoking.
Cheesie: *LOL*
Friend: I feel as if i didn’t breathe for four days.
Cheesie: But you know you can’t. You made a vow.
Friend: Yea. Even though I don’t smoke, i feel like lighting up a ciggie and just hold it between my fingers. Ahh, that feels good *looking hallucinated*.
Cheesie: Anything changed after you quit smoking? Emotionally, or physically?
Friend: My vision is clearer, erm, i mean, literally. And I realized a lot of things.
Cheesie: Example?
Friend: That smoking is the happiest thing to do in the world.
Cheesie: ….Hmm. Other than that?
Friend: I do a lot of weird things. Like, waking up middle of the night to play piano.
Cheesie: Is there anything else to sacrifice when you quit smoking?
Friend: There’re a lot less happy activities to do. Like clubbing, snooker, ALL GONE!
Cheesie: But you still can do those things without smoking what!
Friend: No way! It’s weird. It’s like wearing a tuxedo without underwear.
Cheesie: I cheese.
Friend: Heck, i won’t even go to mamak yumca! I’ll leave immediately after my meal. If i see someone smokes, i’ll be like “man, you’re a lucky bastard”.
Cheesie: What happens when all your friends light up a ciggie after meals?
Friend: Tell me about it! That’s why i normally eat alone. I feel sorry for my smoking friends, and feel extremely paiseh to go out with them.
Cheesie: Why paiseh? You didn’t do anything wrong.
Friend: We all know that smoking kills. I quit smoking earlier than them, it’s like they’e gonna die sonner.
Cheesie: That’s a…hmm… strange theory. But you will still enjoy the company of your friends when you go yumca, no? It’s not all about smoking.
Friend: Hell no. For me, a yumca session consists of 20% of drinking (tea), 20% of chit-chatting, and 60% of smoking.
Cheesie: WHAT?
Friend: Yea! If i were allowed to choose only one, i’ll rather zip my mouth, stay thirsty, and start smoking away. Wahaha.
Cheesie: Cheez, that gives yumca a whole new definition. Do your friends support your decision to quit smoking?
Friend: They do. But i still feel very uneasy when they start smoking in front of me, because i don’t know where to put my hands!
Cheesie: Haha. Do they ever tempt you into smoking again?
Friend: Hell yes! After a beer or two, they will start shoving a ciggie in between my teeth. Bastard friends.
Cheesie: Quite hard to resist the temptations huh?
Friend: It’s SO. HARD! Imagine 12 out of 10 friends of yours smoke, even the strangers standing beside you!
Cheesie: I understand.
Friend: Smoking is like a symbolization of the togetherness in a friendship. Lemmi ask you, what’s the first thing that you wanna do when you go travelling with your friends?
Cheesie: Err… take photo lo.
Friend: For me, it’s the thought of lighting up a cig when you walk out from the airport, the hotel… I can’t think of anything else. My mind only functions properly after a few puffs.
Cheesie: Now that you can’t smoke, what do you do to get rid of the cravings?
Friend: Keep my mouth full! Can’t you see why i keep buying snacks?
Cheesie:*chuckles* Yea i noticed. No wonder people gain weight after they quit smoking?
Friend: Think about it. One ciggie equals to a KitKat bar. Another ciggie equals to one pint of rootbeer. Another is a bag of Chachos…
Cheesie: Cheez. That sucks.
Friend: That’s not all. The worst is, i ask myself this question everyday. “WHY DO I HAVE TO QUIT SMOKING WHEN I CAN SMOKE?”
Cheesie: Erm. Ok, thank you for your time. Lastly, any useful advice for those people who intend to quit smoking?
Friend: Two words. DON’T QUIT. Seriously. Smoking is the best thing happened in my life. Thank you. read more

Only jam.

Jam morning, jam night. Jam afternoon, jam evening. Jam everywhere.

So agonizingingly jammed THEY EVEN SPREAD BANGKOK JAM TO KL.

Dammit now traffic in KL pales in comparison.

Food was good, weather was fantastic, windy cool. But the dreadful jam made me wanna think twice before booking tickets to Bangkok again.

Oh ya oh ya, check out this place called Dome at the State Tower in Lebua Hotel.

It is the f*ckingest amazing bar i’ve ever been to. Forget KL Tower. Forget Skybar. Forget Luna Bar. read more

Lost my camera.
No pictures.

Now Cheesie’ Wardrobe has a special guest—a fashion diva who is always buying on impulse yet forgetting that she ever bought them. Then when she opens her closet, she’ll be like “eh? what are these closthes doing here?” She has a short span of liking an outfit, so much so, before those outfits even get a chance to be let out of the closet, she loses interest in them. read more

What do you get when you cross a herding dog with a daisy?
A collie-flower.

Saw this in Ikano Pet Safari.

Guess how huge it is?

HOLY GOD DOG.

Reminds me of St Bernard’s in Tom & Jerry’s.

No no, actually, reminds me of this:

Is this what you wanted, CuriousAmerikaner?

April’s new baby.

Amazing how when you think of something, you see it everywhere.

Me: Would you spend one thousand to buy a Tiffany for your girlfriend?
TT: Siao. Tiffany costs more than a thousand. I’d rather buy her something else.
Me: Like… a Maltese? 😀 😀 😀
TT: Ooh. Yea definitely. Along with a mini coffin too.

-_-

Anyway. I still think it’s the best pressie ever. A pink Maltese.

Pink ears.

Pink tail.

I WANT A DOG!!!666

At least that’s what i thought after coming back from Malaysia K9 Day 2007.

Visiting the park made me feel like a sad, childless mother who has problems conceiving. Imagine looking at innocent lovely kids running around the park, giggling at their mothers who chase after them, and you look like some jealous deranged woman who will run over at any moment and snatch a child.

I also want one!!! read more

Three months after the first one.

Cheesie sits down comfortably on her couch going through her sms’es. Her phone rings.

Weirdo: Hello, may i speak to Ringo please?
Cheesie: Yes speaking. Who’s this?
Weirdo: Erm… You know… erm… How do i say this.. Actually you don’t know me, but i’m a big fan of yours.
Cheesie: O…kay. You got my number from?
Weirdo: Can i tell you that in a bit because i don’t wanna scare you.
Cheesie: O…kay. And your name is?
Weirdo: My name is James… i know it’s a silly name, not as cool as yours but… I’m just wondering, uhm, are you seeing anyone?
Cheesie: *WTFish* Why?
Weirdo: Err…. This is gonna sound really weird, I know where you work, I’ve been around a few times, have seen you around, but never got the guts to say hello to you.
Cheesie: You know my work place?!

Weirdo: I.. I.. I.. I see you i just watch you from far…
Cheesie: *kancheong* Erm… Wait… How do you know i work there?

Cheesie: *Double WTFish* Look James. If you wanna be friends, you’ll have to be frank, right?
Weirdo: Okay i’ll be very frank with you. I hire private investigators to find out exactly…
Cheesie: Interesting.
Weirdo: I’ve got pictures of you. He goes around and take pictures of you, following you around, that’s how i got to know so much about you.
Cheesie: *-_-|||*
Weirdo: So, you don’t want me to beat around the bush, let me be frank. Are you going out with anyone?
Cheesie: *Super WTFish*
Weirdo: If you’re not, I’m just wondering, would you be interested in marriage?
Cheesie: MARRIAGE? I’m only twenty two and c’mon. Of course i would but…
Weirdo: I KNEW IT! I could see it from the way you blog, and… and… i could feeeeeeel the connection between us… gosh i’m so nervous my palms are sweating now. So… is that a yes?
Cheesie:: IS THAT A PROPOSAL?!?666
Weirdo: Hmmm… Kinda… I know i’m not good at this…
Cheesie: *major dash underscore dashy* You PROPOSE to someone you have never met before?
Weirdo: I’m on my knees, if that counts.
Cheesie: NO. I need to see flowers and, maybe like a ring, you know?!?
Weirdo: Since you’re good at the net, how bout i send you flowers over the net, it’s beautiful.
Cheesie: Yea? And WE’RE GONNA HAVE A VIRTUAL WEDDING, right?
Weirdo: No no, i’m serious! I am. You aren’t joking with me are you? Please don’t play with my emotions. Just tell me straight, then i’ll leave you forever.
Cheesie: I don’t even know you! How can i marry someone i don’t know?
Weirdo: It happens all around the world! So the next time when i come around can i say hello to you?
Cheesie: Yes please, make sure you do!
Weirdo: Alright, I’ll give you a visit later and i’ll be the guy wearing a hitz.fm T-shirt…
Cheesie: ……

Pun of the day:
When you have so many parties going on you can’t decide which to attend, it’s known as party politics.

And non-happening.

When ironically, i plan for parties and some even say i party for a living. Hmm.

But i still party sometimes la. So many parties so little, erm, sleep?

Yan & Kyan’s birthday party.

I love this shot a lot. You know how hard it is to take decent photos under night mode!
