Back to nature~

Today, I'm having a morning walk with my friends in Botanical Garden. Since my graduation, I've never wake up this early... The last time I've visited Botanical Garden is last year, during cross country run. It's been a while that I've paid mother nature a visit...


After we arrive there, I've noticed a few things. First, the stalls in front of the gate are gone... Secondly, the landscape on the way to the garden has changed. They are building some road and bridges for people to walk and enjoy the scenery before reaching the garden. By the way, they are building some structure in front of the gate, perhaps a proper shelter for the stalls to do their business.


As usual, it's quite early but the garden is already crowded with people. Although it's morning, the air is not as cold as before, it's warmer... I'm kinda disappointed because I'm coming here to enjoy the natural cold air... Nonetheless, it feels relaxing and refreshing after having a long walk in the garden. The air is filled with the aroma of plants, inhale deeply are quite rejuvenating for my mind and body.


Meet my new buddy!

Well, to tell you the truth, the purpose of this walk is for me to spend some time chatting with my friends. Most of my friends now are busy working and studying, some are simply bored and lazy staying at home most of the time. I'm glad that I have an opportunity to spend some time with my friends in a natural environment. Staying in a natural environment make me feel relaxed, and they give me the feeling of carefree and freedom...

I'll stop here now, wish everyone can keep in touch with their friends... You know, some people told me that making friends is easy, but I think keeping them is a challenge to me, a trial of lasting friendship.

Smoked lungs! A tasty treat?

Recently, I've found out some of my colleagues are smokers... And many people I know while I'm working smoked. Even my dad is a smoker too... And I've wondered why smoking is so addictive? It's like once they start, they can't stop! Want them to stop smoking it's like taking their lives away... I know because I've conducted series of experiment on my father~ Ironically, as a parent, they tell us not to smoke as somking will ruin your health but they are doing that daily... Aren't they feared that one day their health is ruined by this habit?

Well, I've ask a few of my colleagues about why are they smoking. They tell me smoking makes you feel satisfied, and some say it makes you feels "high", and some tell me smoking will make you stay awakened. I dunno, some even say it feels like masturbating... I might understand part of it as I'm a video games addict... I see people are willing sacrifice many things to fulfill their own desires, like their own health. But I think it's better than addicted to drugs though...

The point is, some of them started to smoke very early in their life, like during secondary school. And one of my colleague is same age as me, and he smoked a lot. like maybe 3~4 times in an hour. I'm really amazed to see this when I hanging out with my colleagues one day. I've wondered if he experienced some smoking side-effects, probably not... But I'm sure they are cooking their lungs slowly... I've wondered if his parents know about his habit, or maybe his parents allow him to smoke... That's weird though, for parents to allow their childrens smoke...

The thing I'm concerned is not them or their health, it's us, their friends and family that don't smoke. They are willing to sacrifice their own health to satisfy themselves, and there's no way to stop them right? They might make some promises, but I doubt they would keep it though... The reason I'm not concerned about them is because the one who suffered it's not them, it's their friends and family who cared about them... I've found that secondhand "smokers" die earlier than the smokers themselves. I'm not sure about real statistics, but this is my personal observations anyway.

Later their family members get chronic illness because of their smoking habit, and the will probably say something like "Oh!! I shouldn't smoke! I'm really sorry!" or maybe like "Oh God! Why did you let us suffer like this!? I didn't do anything wrong!". Oh I say shut up, regret now is useless, and blaming the gods is pointless too. Everything is caused by yourself! I hope my dad won't be like this though... Probably he would anyway...

So do you like smokers? They smell great aren't they? Or perhaps they would serve some "tasty" smoked lungs that they prepared for so long... Think before you act, don't prepare your smoked lungs for your family members, they ain't tasty, they cause miseries...

Mean & picky niggard!

Today, I've met the widely detested customer at the restaurant I worked at. That customer, an middle aged woman, which is black-listed by my colleagues as a mean and picky niggard... At first I don't really believe it as it was kinda funny, but today I've served her! Well, at first I smiled at her, and her respond is "why are you smiling to me? It's very retarted you know?". I was very annoyed by her attitude, and you know what, she is as ugly as her words! Then she placed some order and complained about our foods are not tasty and she does not like it... I've wondered why she is even here... Then she ordered a beer and then I served the beer to her, then she blocked the glass with her hands and her mobile phone. The she ask me to pour the beer for her, and how am I supposed to do that!? And now I understand why they hate her so much, as she opened her mouth, insults and complaints are splashed on your face harshly... What a mean woman she is!

She reminded me someone I know, which attitude is almost identical to hers. He would sue a worker of a company for not refilling soft drinks for him! Isn't it ridiculous?

I really don't understand these kind of people, why would they do that? What are they thinking? Is there any advantages of being mean and picky towards everyone they meet? But I guess they are really fearless eh, as they are not afraid of getting beaten up or losing their own property by the people provoked by them... If there is no law in this world, I think they'll be getting a trip to the underworld real soon... One of my friend told me that if there is no law, she wouldn't be old! I bet you get his idea, and it was very funny!

Are you a mean person? Are you being picky towards everything? Ask yourself, do you like people being mean or picky towards you? If so, have a nice day~
