Rich Vs Poor

Went out with my Social Studies friends for Frog Leg porridge yesterday. Actually, there were only 3 of us. But next week, we are going to the Satay Club! More of us will be able to join cause the food is Halal. Yeah! Can't wait..

Yesterday, during the chit-chat session, I was so tickled by one of my friends. He was an old boy from ACS and not surprisingly, he is one of the super rich. The things he did with his friends were so funny and amusing! My emotions kept swaying between "So funny!" and "Wah, he is so rich". Their activities were quite different from what I usually do with my friends. It is like a totally different life they are leading.

So, actually it is true that the rich leads a different life from the average family. It is just like how different our lives are from the really poor. It led me thinking about something in the past. There was once this guy who felt inferior because he did not have a job or money. At that time, I thought, "Who cares? We can work together and create a better future. I can take hardships."

That was when I was young. Although it was only a few years back, I think differently now. I will prefer somebody who has a stable income and who has the same standard of living as me. It will be unbearable to count my every cents in whatever I do or buy. And to think that I bring that upon myself by falling for someone who is not financially stable will make matter worse.

Time can really change a person's thinking. I never imagine I will turn out to be like this - materialistic. Although I am not a rich person, I am able to live comfortably. I like the way I live now and I don't intend to change it. I can always rely on myself.
