Dr. Fahrul Hakim Ayob said...: merokok ni sebenarnya amat menyihatkan.

zat-zat asap yang sangat menghairahkan itu bisa membuatkan pria lelaki tidak tidur malam.
terkenang-kenangkan akan ia sentiasa.

usahlah ditakuti,

pelajar2 undergraduate saya kebanyakan adalah wanita yg tiada mempunyai masa untuk itu semua. Juga kekurangan uang.
