the one about ciggs
ok lets talk about ciggs now. There I was sitting on the air-con bus on my way to the game, when this mat appeared at a bustop. He was just finishing his cigg and so took a large puff before throwing it on the ground and boarding the bus. ok nebermind la i hear u say... abit of of smoke in the bus wun kill anyone right? The bugger had to sit right behind me and give out his frigging foul breath. knn friggin ruined my early morning bus ride.
Much later at the soccer court, there were a bunch of ngee ann poly guys who came to play with us. There was this particular one who was wearing an Argentina jersey and probably thought he was Diego Maradona and so had to live up to his namesake. He brought in a cigg into the game and planned to smoke as he played. He soon puffed enough and threw the cigg on the floor. 'Maradona's' friends then shouted at him to threw it outside the court, but he shouted back,' wahlou eh the cigg so small wun do any fuck to the ball la.' Well it sure as hell did not do any fuck to the ball but it probabay did a lot of fuck to him, as he was rooted to the ground during that game and hardly got a touch of the ball.
Now, there has been talk in recent weeks that the government is planning to ban the puffing of ciggs in several more places such as in pubs and hawker centres. BAN BAN BAN I say. Several smokers were interviewed by The Straits Times and they felt that the gahmen should not impose the restrictions as they were 'responsible' somkers and did not smoke when near the presence of other non smokers. Now, i do not give a flying fuck if the smokers want to ruin their own lungs, but if any smoker says that he/she has never smoked in the presence of a non-smoker, I say horseshit. Now, even if they are 'responsible' and do not smoke in the presence of non-smokers, what about the situation in the bus that I mentioned earlier?
then again its unlikey that my wish for the gahmen to ban the sale ciggs will be met, due to the high taxes that the gahmen earns from them. Im just hoping that they will impose more restrictions on places where smokers are allowed to puff.
