i had just been slapped by the harsh facts of life... everything in life need monies, not just monies but alot of monies...

take these for eg.

a new 4room flat can easily cost you 220k but you gotta wait yrs for it, if your can't wait, then get a resale, which can easily cost you 380k for a 4room flat in a matured estate and what about the cash deposit?

After the house, then comes the house renovation part, whether or not you like it, it will cost you a minimum of 10k?

then here comes the wedding, if you fancy hotel, probably it will cost at least 1k? what if you have lotsa friends? how many tables you will need to have? what about the alcohol? come on, we all know the facts, people goes wedding to drink.. to make the groom drunk (waste of monies, nO choice, once in a lifetime thing). but every woman will want at least a reasonable wedding... it's a lifetime thing... it form parts of your memory... the starting point honoring the vows... the new starting point as husband and wife...

what about the wedding packages? red packets for the brothers and sisters? buffet? rings? photo/video taking?

what about children? cost of childcare? school fees? clothing?

Costs are raising, standards of living are also raising.. our pay also raise (but a tiny tiny bit), but is it enough to cover all this? 10years down the road, what would the cost of public transport be? or how much will a full tank of petrol cost just for a 1.5cc car???

i no longer envy those filthy rich people, i used to be so jealous and full of envy... they can get whatever they wants, our luxury items is their normal daily items, our 1 thousand dollars is their 1 hundred dollars, their 1 carat diamond is wore on their ears, hands, wrist..etc.. whereas our only precious diamond is when our hubby propose to us... but this also make it more valuable, more precious...

that's how drastic the difference is.. how can anyone not envy that kind of lifestyle? but i told myself, i'm glad i found someone who really appreciate me and who is really willing to pamper me, i'm not a extravagant person by nature, having him is good enough... comparing will just make my life suxs more...

i'm not someone who goes for luxury items, they are wants not needs... i can identify what is my needs and what is my wants in life..

my wants:

a happy family
a loving, caring husband
a job that i enjoy (which i already know but not doing)
cleaning up my house, preparing food and taking care of my kids and husband
time to accompany and see my child grow up
a simple life...

my needs:

luxury items..


if i can identify, doesn't it means that i know my limits?? how many luxury items do i have or do i really want? typical girls will just keep harping on it but when you reali do it, it's heart pain... that sum of monies can be put into reali good use...

time is the most valuable thing in life.. once lost it, you can never get it back.. i'm trying to make full use of my time.. i want to try all those things before i lost my value... there's only so far you can go.. and if you reali want to make it big, do it when you are young. At least you can still try n try again. Rather than you start at the point whereby you no longer have the "power" to keep you going....
