Seven (7) Years Not Smoking!

Same as the KK City Day, February 2nd, I celebrate myself as a Non-Smoker for Seven Years already. Around this hour 10pm back at 2002, but on February 1st, I was still smoking heavily trying to finish the 20 sticks of Dunhill, knowing deep in my heart I just have to stop smoking for the sake of my future baby.
Yep, I stopped smoking because I decided to have a baby of my own. A kid on the year of the Monkey. That was the plan since I somehow believe in Fengshui that a baby born on this year is good for our family. Wife born on the year of Rabbit. Perfect for her meaning perfect for us all. That was why, I have to stop smoking earlier. I have to make sure my bad smoking habit will not in anyway interfere with our plan to have a baby.
Praise The Lord GOD, after 3 years of marriage, a full honeymoon for us before that, wife got pregnant and nine months later, Josh Luke Joneh arrived through normal birth as expected. Thank GOD for that. We timed him to arrive on our wedding anniversary, we missed it by ONE DAY ONLY!!! In fact, less than 24 hours, birth time at 10:08pm. Aiyaaaah. LOL.
Anyway, just want to make a record on this date that I am still a non smoker. I can just stop on the dot even though I was a chain smoker. Story back at Six years not smoking. You can stop too if you want to. If you are not serious, then you simply just cannot. You have to find the right motivation why you want to stop. I wanted to stop because I want to have a baby. I think that’s a very strong motivation for most people. At least for me.
On the other hand, if you are happy as a smoker, I know I was (hehe) before I find the reason to stop, then go on keep smoking. No problem as long as you are happy kan 
Peace to all mankind. Amen.
* I celebrate my achievement by dining out with wife at the Damai Upperstar.
