friday is my most favourite day in the week.
why?. ofcourse i can slack alot.
can dont wry about skul work for awhile.
just now class go on as usual.
after school hang out wit the excos.
$36 dollars is spent within a day....
how such a waste is that...for a family that has an earning that barely can spare them all...
dad went home everyday to eat a meal to last his workday just to save as much money on his children's food and school items...
and now, facing problems, a child of his just spent that $36...
$36 can be used to buy necesities...
no aircon, no luxury, no holiday, no things that rich ppl may have, except family gatherings and it was lucky that we could bond to a one strong family...
when we get the xtra, we used it on our daily life needs.
but not all is met up.
$36..... on timezone... really a waste....
haiz... how i just wish that my family could have the needs we longed.
our impression could be fantastic frm the outside but deep inside we are struggling to seperate the things into needs and wants...
but we are smart. spend things budgetly but at the same time, showing the best normal impression as we cud...
a bag we cud just get for $13 at pasar malam... as long as it is beautiful and meaningful...
a watch we could just get for $10 or so. if we noe how to shop smart...
a dress, nice beautiful outing clothings, we could just get $5 if we noe how to.
wad im trying to say is, dont judge a book by its cover.
wadever u all may see on me isnt really wad u all think.
i plan my spending and plan on how to get those things.
class A immitation products is one of my choice.
we put our priority on food.
and not on branded things.
some ppl spend on branded / expensive items more than their value on food just for the sake of trends regardless whether they can afford to or not.
sometimes i wonder, how do the malay society families can afford to buy car, big house, and spent lavishly with just one person working and earning lesser than us and they can continue their lives with no burden.
is it bcoz of the braveness in taking debts?
gambling?
im not pointing anyone. i am just interpretting from these scenarios.
hmmp. i just wonder...
'mommy / daddy, i want to buy a nike original sling bag. i dun care i want it.'
'you want that? ok. nah. take my money from the wallet.'
some ppl can just ask their parents just lyk dat to get the things they wished.
i wish i cud have that.
i wonder how students with money spent on their schoolife.
through BGR?
clothes?
popularism?
showing off?
i just wonder all this things...
i just couldnt stop thinking on all this.
my bro just spent $36 bucks on timezone. it may not be much for u all but it is for me and my family.
i nvr really spent that sum of money b4 on my wants.
all of it will soon be spent up on food when hanging out wit frens.
even shoe racks my dad made it from scrap metals frm his workplace.
even a bbq grill my dad made it from scrap metals.
even the curtains in my house my mom made herself.
even my childhood clothes my grandma made for me.
even the birthday cake my mom bake specially for us..
all these things thought me important lessons....
i really appreciate it all.
i nvr take all of this as a bad matter but take it up as a good one.
being optimistic as wad ppl said.
i see on this things as unique items.
things that could not be found in shops as they were made from love..
cherish the ones that lead ur life to the fulless is all i can give as an advice to you unknown readers...
