today was my big slacking day. did nothing. woke up listen to Dream Theater. man...the lyrics they wrote really strike a chord!! it's top-notch material. well, mayb its juz me. other people may like superficial lyrics. its entirely on how the person views life. then after listening to them, i came online and did some stuff on my blog. changed the tagboard and checked why sometimes the song doesnt play. hmm....
then! i went to play my ps2. (damn today's blog really aint got any shit to discuss)
well after a nap then i came across this article on The New Paper,hmm. actually two articles.the other one was about fake viagra being peddled on Desker Road. the other one's for smokers and well some of those who are thinking of smoking i suggest u dun. i'll state the article down here:
-----------------------------
"One smoking-related disease is missing from the graphic warnings on the cigarette packs: Blindness. Assoc Prof Au Eong and his colleague Dr Swati Handa would like to warn smokers that they are at a higher risk of going blind due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD)."
--ooh, that sucks.--
"AMD damages the macula, which is responsible for sharp, central vision. He noted that studies that conducted in four countries have shown that smokers are two to 6.6 times more likely to develop AMD."
--6.6 times? woo...imagining....--
"People with AMD experience symptoms ranging from mild vision loss to central blindness, a disease that blurs central vision.Assoc Prof Eu Eong warns that blindness caused by AMD is usually irreversible."
--that definitely sucks big time.--
---------------------------------
well, i hope that would make people who read this post reconsider before taking the next puff or even newbies who are going to try their first puff. smoking is irritating to others but seriously sometimes it soothes me. hahaz. and the article on peddling of fake viagra on Desker Road...that i wouldnt wanna post it because most people would know wat side-effects it would bring.
hope my post proves useful in saving lives. and the information was extracted from The New Paper.
and come to think of it. imagine of a smoker who is affected by smoking and suffers impotence because of long-term smoking, goes to Desker Road to get a viagra fix and finally gets his hands on fake ones and got infected from the contaminated from those fake pills.
just a thought. :)
