I know I always complain about how crazy my work is but the actual fact, it is actually not that...bad. On some lucky days, I do get the chance to relax like yesterday. All I need to do was just sit and read those magazines. Easy pissy. But wait a minute...... that was NOT the only thing that I have to do. I have to evaluate them after reading through pages and pages of the magazines - the not-so-fun part!

Anyways, the magazines that I have to vet through were mostly the "high class" ones. From the picture you can see the titles clearly. It contains all the A-list celebrities/socialites and jinx of things that they do for a living or parties that they attended to -  the wonderful life of the rich people.

And it got me thinking.

How fortunate some people are to be born in a "well-established" family. They do not need to work hard to get or earn anything. Money is not a problem to them. In fact, it would be a problem for them to not to spend it. Some may be brought up being so spoiled but some may turn up to be a successful one. 

But some work really hard to reach the same level as them.

I came from an average kind of family. My mother work so hard to make sure that we get a good education. My sister and I, we were never showered with money. Jangan sesekali nak meminta-minta. You have to earn something in order to get something. We went to school taking the public buses. We hardly go holidays together. Kalau nak makan sedap tuh bolehlah sekali sekala but occasionally lah! But Alhamdulillah, rezeki Allah kasi tak pernah putus. My parents were able to send us to a good school for the education that we deserved and I thank them for that - for the strength that my mother has for not giving up on us. And because of that, we are what we are now.

My parents have gone through tough times and it is our job now to change it and Alhamdulillah we are able to do so. To give a better living for our parents. 

I'm so grateful of how I was brought up. Hidup dalam kesederhanaan. I learn how to live life the hard way and it makes me value my surroundings. If it was not because of my mother, I don't think I'll be who I am today.

It's ok not to be rich or have a lot of money to spend. Asalkan hidup bersederhana sudah cukup memadai.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
