And it looked like his news room was exactly like yours! Only smaller and dingier maybe back in the 40s 50s where the toilet (shared) was covered with a slip of a tirai kind off cloth. <br /><br />And yet that very atmosphere (including the swearing ...and vulgar jokes)produced geniuses at work!<br /><br />Sigh....

The funny thing is during Ramadhan you see somne people just holding the cigarettes between their fingers (unlit) as they anged onto their typewriters. Tak hisap pun tak apa . <br />Fify a day and yet it didnt affect your voice at all...<br />My mother and kak liah used to smoke. Pak smoked right until the day he died.

We are a family of non smokers except wait a minute, for the youngest son who is still at it despite our disapproval. Insyaallah, he will be able to stop one day like you did!<br />So poor Pak Abu has to smoke alone.NanaDJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705873791340029515noreply@blogger.com
