Impotent (from wiki) ; Erectile dysfunction (ED) is sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual performance 

Seriously it was a big challenge if someone trying to quit smoking without any 'stop smoking aids'. I've done before without any proper quit smoking aids, and finally I've made it after few attempts.

It sounds easy for non smokers to hear people successfully quit smoking. But for me, it is not easy especially for hardcore addicted smokers. Why? There are many factors why a smokers can't leave the smoking addiction easily. Here are 3 habits that make smokers in Malaysia can't leave the addiction:

1. Smoking after meals
2. Smoking in the toilet
3. Hangout for drinks with colleagues 

When I try to quit smoking, those 3 habits are the main things I avoid slowly. After a long period, I wasn't stick to the habits anymore, then I reduce total numbers of cigarette intake.

Did you see highlighted words above? Yes it takes a very long period for me to quit smoking as I didn't take any quit smoking aids.

There some quit smoking products available on market such as nicotine patchs, electronic cigarette and nicotine chewing gum. I haven't try any of those so I can't tell the experience.

 Even we always see and we knew about the bad side of having cigarettes, they can't stop their selves from smoking again and again. The nicotine is the main enemy here.

Yes nicotine is the bad guy. As I am now free from nicotine, I have better meaning in life, especially for my kids and wife.

They deserve better man, they need quality air.

Affordable health plans

Almost everybody looking for perfect health plan but not all of them can afford what being offered by major medical insurance company. Maybe low cost health insurance can give discount health plans but do you think it is worth for you?

The reason you should reconsider of taking real affordable health care is because you’ll have power as a patient and not controlled by the insurance companies. Ameriplan, is the example of membership health plans with huge savings, without paperwork, waiting periods, limits on services, age limits, and acceptance of current conditions.

This is too good to be true but the discount plan will definitely better than family health insurance plans after you make comparison. You are the one who will decide the best or not. It’s all depending on you.

Sleep a.k.a Tidur....

My head still blank. I just woke up (10pm - 3am).... It was very hectic today for me. I went to Pasar Tani Muar at 6.45am (which I didn't sleep the night before), and home by 12.30pm. I had sleep at noon.

It takes about 1 hour for me to decide - either to go to pasar malam Tg. Agas or not (4pm - 5pm). Why? because I don't have enough sleep. So damn tired!

Do you know that we need sleep to make sure our blood have enough oxygen (O2).. (I'm not going to comment about this)... The thing is, when we don't have enough sleep, our reflex becomes so slow, and we need extra time to decide on almost everything. That's what happen to me right now.

Based on Dr. Fadzillah kamsah on '50 tips orang berjaya', most of successful people in the world sleep as one of their method of success. They try to find a break for sleep as it is will refresh and give energy back to your body.

Since I read that book, I try to apply the tips everytime I feel so tired, especially when I'm blank. So I think I want to take a nap now... zzzzzzzzzzz

p/s - I forced myself to write because I want to get 'something' from the internet, suddently my eBay popup manager shows one of my item sold... Alhamdulillah.
