Third Entry

Ok, due to the repeating request (nagging) from my blog reader - yling,
I am back again for another episode of blog time!

This time I am going to talk about a subject that is very dear to the heart of everybody regardless of age, race or gender.

We wake up thinking about ...

... we think about while getting ready for work ...
... we worry about it while having lunch ...
... we go to bed at night dreaming about it...

It's on our mind 24/7.


The word start with an "S"


And ends with a double figures.


Everybody would have guess it correctly by now.



Yes it's $$$
(okay stupid lah the stupid computer font does not write the money sign with the double 11 but you know I know that S-11 stands for $ can alreadi ok!)


Yes. Money is now constantly on my mind.
Not because I have lots of it. Millions of it.

But more of because of I have less of it now.

Same as love and sex.
When you have less of it, you constantly think about it.

The deep need for love is the same as the deep need for money.

So when you have lesser of it ...
One word. Sian. -_-


Yet many many people's belief are...

1. Money is known to be evil. (muahahaha! $_$ I'm EVil!)

2. Money makes men go evil. Make them greedy and cold.

3. One cannot have too much of money.

But I would like to reconsider this.
Especially this belief of mine that I shared for quite a long time in this short lifetime of mine.

1. If money is evil, why do people rob for it?

I don't think people who have huge bank accounts with tons of cash on hand will decide to rob someone else for money. I believe it is usually people who are desperate in need of money would then go do such stupid stunts.

I can understand from this as I happended to know someone who did something wrong (not very serious lah) to help raise money for the family. He stole a bicyle thinking he could sell it off for a few dollars to buy food for the family. But then he was caught and dealt with by the law. I know it is wrong what he did, not excuseable. He was not able to find employment for a long time because he has no education at all. What I want to say is that it is probably out of desperation that he decided to do it. If they have money, maybe he do not have to resort to this.


2. If money can make men go evil, then those people who queue up for 4D, TOTO and lotteries should burn in hell (sorry I say say only - not real) upon winning prize money.
The bigger you win, the deeper of the 18th level in hell you go cos having lots of money makes you very


Evil. 3. And one person cannot have too many money.

Yeah, actually hor I think salary got $1000 a month enough liao.

$700 for monthly housing instalment
$150 for groceries from Singsong
$3.00 for a plate of chicken rich lunchtime (you drink from your own water bottle / water cooler FOC)
$3.60 for the bus ride to and fro workplace
$5.00 for a pirated 'Ironman' DVD (not so clear one cos just release in the cinema)

And the look on your mum's face when she received a $2 hongbao from you for Mother's Day. Priceless.

For everything else, there always Visa.

Yah. Credit cards. One great source of finance when you need to Over your budget a bit this month - when money not enough.

Ahhh.. Screw this month savings and really go enjoy a sumptous meal at the Equinox at the top floor of Westin Stamford hotel - real classy. While at that why not open another bottle of red wine just to screw the children's education fund.

Life sucks when you have no money.

Don't try to deny it that you do not wish sometimes for some extra cash to spend on yourself or your loved ones.

If that's so then please willingly return that tidy sum of money that you had just received from your government for growth dividend. Yeah. It's great that our government is taking care of us. We are doing fine with what we receive from our monthly pay check. We don't need the extra cash. Cos we can't have too much money on our hand. Money is evil woooo...
