why am I so sad?

"Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, a Lover can warm your bed, but Lonely is the soul without a mate"

I’m lonely. And I’m lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic.

a journey..

*train to airport

*waiting my flight

*flight back to KL

at last! went to bandung and jakarta for a quick getaway. I had a really good and memorial time over there. Felt that 3 nights was not enough for me.

I took a train from KL central to Pasir Salak. From there, mount a bus straight to the airport. Then at Indonesia I used a lot of 'angkut' and taxi. I recorded video of my journey the moment from KL to Jakarta-Bandung and KL back, but sorry guys, can't show you the video. It just for my family though. Let myself, my family and God know what I did there.

Anyway, in simple words and short... there I'd done Spa for 2 days to relax myself and yes I enjoyed! Then I did something unusual for me... I went for manicure and pedicure..awkward but definitely fun!

owh yeah, I got pictures of me doing spa, mani and pedi too.. but they seem to be very embarrassing which I decided not to publish those pictures. -.-"

Nevertheless, alhamdulillah for the safe journey. ^^

Jakarta and Bandung

alright just few days left before I go to Jakarta and Bandung for a quick getaway. To be exact, 5 days which this coming Saturday. Argghh even thinking about it makes me become enthusiastic, I can't wait! The spa, leathers shop, unknown people, ladies... everything! and I am going alone without my family neither friends. After 2 hours of explanation about the true reason of going there.. mama and abah allowed me to go, but with a condition. I'll have to make my way to Jakarta and meet somebody first and only then I can go to Bandung. Fair enough to me. Nevertheless, syukur alhamdulillah for mama and abah did understand their selfish son. Thanks ma bah.

Some of my friends did tell me that it is not safe to go there alone.. and yes, I am well aware of that. But guys, can anyone of you tell me that Malaysia is damn safe? Now a days we often shocked by many cases saying robbery, rape, and such things. Plus the latest one is about the famous 'acid splasher'. So these are what so called safe? I'm not so religious type of man.. but if Allah does want it to be happen, when and where you are... it will happen, and of course the other way round too. So hopefully once I got there, everything will be fine.. insyaAllah.

I love money. $__$

wow! you have this! you have that! you have that car too!
you bought those things using your parents money? errr Okay. -.-"
bersyukur jelah kan dgn apa yg kita ada. ^^

cigarettes, shisha, and tobacco pipe

Shisha pipes injurious to health

A research by the Department of Health and the Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre has revealed that smoking a shisha pipe is as injurious to health as smoking tobacco.

Shisha is an Arabic pipe with a flexible tube. Water is used to cool the smoke that is produced by burning fruit-scented tobacco.

The study also found that one shisha smoking session could produce four to five times more carbon monoxide than smoking a cigarette could do, though the exact level of carbon monoxide inhaled by each cigarette smoker was different and could not be ascertained.

High carbon monoxide levels can cause damage to the brain and unconsciousness.

When the carbon monoxide exhale by various people was measured it showed that a normal non-smoker’’s level was three parts CO per million parts of air (ppm) which means less than 1 per cent of blood his blood was not working properly, a light smoker to had CO levels of 10-20 ppm (2-4 per cent of blood not working properly), and a heavy smoker 30-40 ppm (5-7 per cent).

Shisha smokers had 40-70 ppm of CO in their breath, which affected 8-12 per cent of their blood.

The BBC quoted Dr. Hilary Wareing, director of the Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre, as saying: “Our mouths opened at the level of harm – none of the tests we did showed anything other than shisha is hazardous to health.”

Paul Hooper, regional manager at the Department of Health, said that the study showed that the dangers of shisha smoking were a “major issue”, though many people believe it “as not even smoking”.

ShishaBars have become quite popular across the UK especially in the cities of London, Manchester and Birmingham and the misconceptions generated here encouraged the scientists to carry out the research on the effects of Shisha smoking.

Dr. Wareing said: “We found one session of smoking shisha – that’’s 10 milligrams (of fruit tobacco) for 30 minutes – gave carbon monoxide levels that were at the lowest four and five times higher than having a cigarette…But at the worst, shisha was 400 to 450 times more dangerous than having a cigarette.”

She added shisha was still awaiting more research to find out its adverse effects. Paul Hooper said the department was trying “how best to get the message – that it is dangerous – across to the consumer”.

“But how do you label the tobacco and the shisha pipe? It’’s not as simple as labelling a packet of cigarettes,” he added.

alright good! one after another. I managed to stop from smoking cigarettes..and now will I be strong enough to stop shisha? argh damn. dude, I can't stop from getting smoke out of something.. sheehhs looks like I must buy a tobacco pipe so that I can take my eyes off shisha.

my latest addiction

alright izzat, first of all... I want to blame you, your pipes and the tobacco. Do get me the midwakh as soon as possible. Then later on I can get myself a better pipe to smoke. ;)

Dude, we both can be called young pipers. hehehe funny though.

Steps

1. 1
   Find a pipe that suits you. Tobacconists are more than happy to help you find your perfect pipe. Prices can vary from cheap to a small fortune.
2. 2
   Experiment with different tobaccos in order to find a preference. There are many varieties of pipe tobacco, including Aromatics, American blends, English blends, Virginias, Burleys, amongst others. A tobacconist will be able to help advise you on their individual characteristics. People completely new to smoking may enjoy an aromatic or lighter tobacco, while on the other hand a habitual cigarette or cigar smoker might prefer a heavier blend. Buy small amounts representing several different styles.
3. 3
   Pack the pipe. Fill the pipe loosely with tobacco and compress it lightly. Compressed halfway from the bottom of the bowl to the top. Fill again to the top and compress with a little more force. This time halfway from the top of the previous packing to the top. Now top it off and compress a bit harder. Again half way from the last point to the top. It must not be so dense as to prevent air from being drawn through the pipe; you should be able to draw air through with little or no resistance. The tobacco should be springy to the touch. It's best to have your tobacconist or an experienced pipe smoker demonstrate. Correct packing takes practice, and has a major impact on how enjoyable your experience will be.
4. 4
   Light the pipe with a wooden match or a butane pipe lighter. If using a match, let the sulfur burn off for a few seconds. Move the flame around the surface of the tobacco while drawing gently until evenly lit, then tamp it gently with a tamper. Let it go out, then relight the same way.
5. 5
   Puff slowly and rhythmically. Patience is rewarded with aroma and a cool smoke. Puffing too fast will result in tongue bite - a burning sensation on the tongue.
6. 6
   Tamp the tobacco gently and periodically throughout the smoke to ensure the bowl remains correctly packed while smoking. Don't worry if the pipe goes out from time to time. Simply relight, after the pipe has cooled.
7. 7
   Make sure you smoke your pipe to the end to create a nice 'cake' (layer of carbon deposits) at the bottom and side of your pipe bowl.
8. 8
   Relax and enjoy. Pipe smoking is the quintessential art of smoking.
