confession of an atasan kid? who..me?

some people say i like to spend so much money
to the extend that they tink, i live so atasan-ly.

1st of all, i want to say "wah!! thankiew la! u praise me like this!"
but 2ndly, i not an atasan person.

lemme tell u my childhood story.
wen i was younger, i was poor.
i depend on my father for cash n e amt he gave is enuf
for recess. $1/day.

with tat kinda amt, i dont go to shopping coz mommy say
if u got no money, dun go n see2. paiseh lei. i agree with mommy.

my frens all super rich. branded clothes and school bags, eating out everyday-they got sponsors by their rich parents or older siblings.

so wen we go out, i usually stay out of shops while they go in and gushes
over anything nice. i tink, to their eyes, i was a boring person.
why go out wen all i do is stand outside?

even in poly, i wear basic tees until e color faded liao.
no WAH! WAH! clothes. my bag was mickey mouse n a cartoon-ed bag.
no such thing as shopping or indulging juz yet.

instead of whinning,
i got my parents to thank coz they kept me grounded to simplicity until now :)

so wen i started working, of coz kah-ching! starts to roll in.
i started shopping for cheap but nice clothes. tts e whole purpose of shopping!

i tried holidaying with frens.

all of which are entirely of my own expense.

this is why i love my single life. spending is a hobby n there's no one to go
"dear2, u better save money la! kip on spend n spend!"
-.-"

but right now, its funny lei,
my rich frens who got sponsors by their family,
they are saying we arent sama sama anymore
coz they feel i lead an expensive life.
while they cannot afford to kip up.
not true lor.
those who tink so, got personality complex.
why do u hefta feel like tat? why feel so low of urself?

watever status u are in, i treat u all same same.
wen i wana mit, the one i really wana see is my friends,
sure la! wat they wear, compliments their style but
i am not gg out with a Gucci or Bebe boutique mah!
so dun feel like i up there n u down there la!

haiyoh! we are still young n if u are having this
complexity rite now, good luck to ur life journey.
it wont be easy coz u starts to feel inferior to everyone u met.

peace.
