How i overcome my smoking addiction

Hari ini saya akan menceritakan guideline untuk berhenti merokok. Semua faham yang merokok boleh membawa pelbagai-bagai penyakit seperti COPD, TB, cancer peparu dan lain2 lagi. ia juga boleh mendorong ke kancah penyalahgunaan dadah. Walaupun rokok makin mahal tetapi ramai dikalangan perokok tetap merokok. Tabiat merokok merupakan tabiat yg susah untuk dihapuskan tetapi boleh dihapuskan atau dikurangkan. Saya harap ape yg disampaikan dapat la beritahu kepada diri sendiri, abang, teman hidup atau parent yg masih merokok.

Bagaimana saya mula merokok?

Pada suatu hari semasa form 5 di sekolah menengah kebangsaan skudai, masa da nak balik rumah so tunggu kat bas stop untuk naik bas tambang, kerana stress belajar, stress aktiviti kokurikulum, dan melihat awek diminati dingorat oleh orang lain:
"salam, dik mintak rokok sebatang, aku nak try merokok"
"eh betul ke ni, ambik la satu"
aku pun hisap........ tapi tak la bes sangat
setelah peristiwa tu aku ade hisap beberapa kali baru la dapat 'FEEL'

Bagaimana kantoi dengan mak ayah?

"Eyan!Eyan" mak aku panggil
"Ye mok, ado gapo?"
"Baju Eyan Mok basuh lam mesin basoh, tengoh2 basuh tu Mok nampok ado bendo terapung lam mesin basuh, nampok mace kotak rokok"
"Yo ko?, ore lain punyo tu, tah lagumano bleh masuk lam seluar Eyan"
Tapi selepas tu memang la kantoi, satu famili tau.

Bagaimana berhenti merokok?
Process ini mengambil masa yang lama. saya sendiri mengambil masa lebih kurang 4 tahun.

Rule 1 - keazaman dan matlamat
Saya telah setkan untuk berhenti merokok walaupun tiap2 hari merokok. Walaupun termerokok, saya tetap tak putus asa kerana saya percaya saya akan berhenti suatu hari nanti. Saya azam untuk berhenti merokok. I keep saying to myself that "I will stop smoking". ulang dalam hati setiap kali merokok.

Rule 2 - kurangkan sedikit demi sedikit
Hari ni saya hisap 5 batang. minggu depan saya hisap 4 batang sehari. Kurangkan sedikit demi sedikit supaya rasa gian tu dapat dikawal. kadang2 bile mengurangkan hisap rokok secara drastik akan menyebabkan 'binge' iaitu hisap rokok secara banyak pada suatu masa. So elakkan perkara ini kerana ia boleh reset balik quantiti yang anda hisap kepada quantiti asal.

Rule 3 - gantikan dengan benda lain
ini saya namakan 'distraction'. alihkan tumpuan dan fikiran anda kepada benda lain. Saya akan beli coklat atau gula2 untuk mengawal gian. walaupun coklat mahal tapi ia lagi murah berbanding sekotak rokok. setiap kali ada rasa gian ambil tindakan ini. main computer game pun boleh. anda perlu cari perkara yang dapat alihkan tumpuan anda.

Rule 4 - takutkan diri anda
takutkan diri anda dengan penyakit2 dan masalah2 yang disebabkan oleh merokok. bagi lelaki, selalu ingat yang sperma anda semakin kurang apabila merokok. girlfriend boleh la takutkan boyfriend anda dengan perkara ini. qualiti sperma dan telur akan rosak apabila merokok.

Rule 5 - dorongan yg tiada berhenti
bagi la dorongan kepada orang yg disayangi untuk berhenti merokok. walaupun yang degil, nasihat la dari semasa ke semasa dan jangan putus asa. percaya la mereka akan berhenti suatu hari nanti. psycho diorang, ugut diorang. "ko tak ikut cakap aku, ko tak sayang aku ke?". "kalau baby tak cube berhenti merokok, kite clash lah". contohnye. gunakan kekreatifan anda.

Rule 6 - doa setiap hari
kalau kite yakin dan doa setiap hari, Allah will help u in a magic way. Tiada daya dan upaya hanyalah daya dan upaya Allah SWT. Allah lah yg mencampakkan rasa untuk berhenti dan ia akan datang.

Rule 7 - respect other people
my favourite rule. hormatilah orang lain yang tidak merokok atau tidak suke anda merokok. janganlah hisap rokok di sekitar mereka especially budak kecil. fahamilah mereka kenapa mereka tidak suka rokok. dengan tidak merokok, anda telah buktikan kasih sayang anda.


*bagi yang ade pengaruh kawan, cube control merokok, walaupun tetap merokok tapi kurang kan lah sampai kurangkan sampai sehari 1-2 batang tu pun da ok.



Selamat berjaya
Walallahualam

Change



everyday we should change ourself
from evil to good
from good to better
today more better than tomorrow
tomorrow more better than today
it is a sin for not changing yourself
change is not a choice
it is a must
everything we do is for the afterlife
and there are only 2 choices
heaven......or hell........
what ever we do
where ever we go
only one choice we have
to the gates of heaven

My life going to end


My life goind to end
in 3 months time
my student life.....

thinking about the time i have
i am sad
only 3 months
what can i do in this 3 months
what can i do to change what i am now
what other thing than study that i must fulfil myself
that this 3 months will change myself
to something better
something rewarding....
something that everlasting
that i will remember for my entire life

what about the past 4 years and 9 months
have i use it wisely?
have i use it to benefit myself
have i use it to benefit others
have i use it to obtain the knowledge i need to work
have i use it to be close to Allah

i realized i wasted my life
i have not enough usrah
not spend enough time in mosque
not spend time hearing lectures of ustaz
not enough charity work

my student life going to end....
once in a life time
never come back

Exams 2

know your enemies. study them. be like them. in other words, we must learn about question that will come to us. what is the structure of the question. what scanerio that usually they give(especially for OBA and EMI where cases were given). must know also what are choices of answer. question in the world will always repeat itself but they cannot run from the concept. they just twist a little bit there and here but at the end it will be the same. apart from that, we must know the allocation of time for each paper. if u knew the time was limited, then better hurry up answering it. dont waste your time on question that u cant hardly answer. answer other question that will give u marks and save hard question later. remember, do practice to answer past year question or question that have similar structure(such as USMLE question). when u see a similiar scenario, your knowledge pouring out to your hands like a spinal cord reflex. brain reflex well need more time to react. i tell u when u practice answering question, your reflex become more shorter and u save time to answer questions. this will give an advantage in the exams
