yes, money can make the world go round. it can also be one of the ways to settle some problems and make do with peace. but everything as its risks and consequences.. it may be the number one root of all evils, being greedy or even having a stuckedup behaviour; being all proud just because you have a deeper pocket than others. well, i've learnt that money issues also can't be totally excluded from family and friends. no matter who you are, there will always be something regarding money and nothing but money. about whose gona pay, who have contributed more than anyone in the family etc. it doesn't matter if it's between siblings and parents, friends or even strangers.. a silent war between a close relationship can break apart in a matter of seconds just because something occurs; and the reason was money. i hate it when something like that happens.. it's just ridiculous. fighting with your close ones because of money? or bragged about your wealth even though all the hard work wasn't from you, but your parents dammit. it's everyone's guilty pleasures.. being able to buy anything we want, looking at them brand new things we just gained, from all the hard work our parents did. and now i've realised, how much my parents have do for me.. worked since morning for me, for my siblings. and i hope they realised that too, even though sometimes, mothers can be quite demanding but i know they just want us to show them that we care. it feels good when you're receiving money, and when you know you deserve it for all the work you have done. instead of just sitting at home, and asking for money everyday.. i felt the difference. i hate it when people say me, 'anak manja' just because i'm the last one. honestly, i never felt comfortable when i asked my parents to buy this or that for me.. i pitied them. it's like i'm helping them to waste the money they have worked for, instead of helping them saving it. i admit i do ask more things than my other siblings, because i don't have the thing that people value most; money. to go on through school, basic necessities and food.. i don't know. i just felt like saying all this.. about money. suddenly i believed in receiving money or things, just when you think you really deserve it. like you aced in your results, achieved something because you worked hard for it or just helping out.. for people around my age ah. haha just pouring my thoughts out.. my own perspective on this. maybe i'm still young.. like the adults say, 'dah kejer baru tau..' okay, we'll see. ;)
