same human, different life...

I've been hearing too many people now days talking about how miserable their life is without money.

But most of them is not that bad compared to some of the more unfortunate ppl...

back in my time, about 1995, during my 2ndary school time,
i've rarely receive a piece of rm50 from my dad.
all i get was money from a cup of coins that my dad leave.
i've to collect those coins to get my daily spending...
there were no fix monthly money for me...
during those time, i admire that my friends have "fix" monthly pocket money...

while during my college time, i normally only get around rm 100 - 200 a month for my bus fare and my lunch food. I didnt complaint. i knew life back then was pretty bad for my dad...

------------

now, my younger brother (7y) younger than me, complaining why his car is a 2nd hand car..
why the aircond not working properly...
.... i'm only a bus taker during those time, couldn't even have my own car..
and i had to spent 2.5-4 hours or more every school day for my bus trip from shah alam to kl...
thats life...


now, some of my friend have about RM700 a month for petrol and pocket money during college time... but yet.. complaint about no money. complaint didnt shopping for shoe or dresses for a long time (em.. 2-3months only? but did bought some other stuff)
i've no comment.. just lazy to comment...

this world has so much different life style.
maybe its time for me to be more realistic and prudent with money...
and not to spend so much on giving away to friends...
good bye mr. nice guy, here comes Sir James :)
