Money Ladies

In my previous blog post, I related men with deers. Although I don’t possess deep understanding in women, for the sake of fairness, I must write about woman this time around. Ok, here we go. In this 21st century, relationship is getting more and more complex. I’m certainly sure that most relationships are full of lies and greed. Here, I regard the lies to men, and greed to women. Men court women maybe because of their beautiful look while women, accept men based on the wealth assessment. Although I came from a poor family, I strongly agree and accept that woman should find themselves a rich guy who loves them.

Now, the problem occurs here. The word, ‘rich‘. There is a new trend of finding a rich partner nowadays, they tend to evaluate a man’s wealth regardless of age. A 5 year gap is still normal, 10 years senior is more of a bit ridiculous but still acceptable. Hey, what about a 20 years difference? This is totally ridiculous ! ! In my university, I see many ladies, beautiful ladies, beautiful yet pathetic… ..There are 2 beautiful classmates of mine who have their boyfriends of at least 10 to 20 years older than them. These guys are just a few years younger than my papa. Women look at the credit cards, the ride and the most important of all, a thick wallet filled with paper notes. With an average basic salary of a few thousand bucks, these guys can easily satisfy a 19 years old girl’s demand. And they look like a pimp to me. Pimps are always ugly, with their malicious act. It’s hard to imagine a dinner between these pimps and the girl’s parent. Into the age of 40’s, we should be calling them ‘Uncle’. I can guarantee, no parents in this world would like to see their son or daughter with a partner of 20 years seniority. If they really want the big bucks, they should consider looking into the CV’s of true millionaires.

Alright, first, these uncles are just from a middle class labour force pocketing their not so extraordinary salary of a few thousand bucks. Second, the ride they have is most likely to be a Honda or Toyota. Last but not least, these pimps are in their 30’s and 40’s. To back up my point, here’s my elaboration. A few thousand bucks can’t be regarded as rich. Moreover, a rich should be driving a Merc or BMW and a millionaire should have a driver driving him around in a bullet-proof Cadillac or Maybach chauffeur. From my evaluation, things will only turn from bad to worse since generation gap isn’t an issue anymore, and a 50 years gap seems possible as well. Thus, women will most likely ply their trade with older men, as long as these pimps are a little bit well off in wealth. I hope my grandpapa doesn’t get angry on this. For the sake of mankind, women, please stop these disgraceful acts. It’s not wrong to be materialistic, but it is wrong to go against Mother nature. Greed will lead us to sin. Marriage between children and adult too is illegal, now let’s hope that the government will highlight this issue and do something about it. God bless us. Amen.

Micro-Burdens

Babies are born everyday. Mothers who deliver these babies endure a very painful process. The pain, it's a burden to the mother of the child. If the mother fails to go through the process unscathed, she dies. The death serves as a burden to the newborn child.

Then, the children grow up. They go to school, they eat, and they play. Not to mention the tuition, music and art classes, not all parents can afford these expenses. So, in this case, the children are the burdens to their parents. Day by day, they grow up. They want almost every nice clothes, shoes, watches, gaming devices, cellphones, computers, leisure outings and many other ridiculous, absurd and ostentatious demands.

One day, this particular teenager got robbed by some Mat Rempits. So, he borrowed some cash from his friends. From then on, he became a burden to his friends. Then he realised the cash can't last until the end of the month, so he asked some money from his parents. Again, he's a burden to his parents. After a horrible month, he was looking for money from every possible alternative. The debts must be returned. Therefore, debts are burdens. Pathetic little boy.

After many triumphs and torments during high school, he planned to pursue his music studies in university. But then, he never knew what was happening to his family at home. The family was about to declare bankruptcy. As a result, he never made it to the music school. Instead, he had to resort for a government study loan for his academic studies. He was very disappointed to found out that he was such a heavy burden to his family in the past. A talent wasted, a burden added. His current predicament, is full of burdens.

Into the years of university, the textbooks and school fees were funded by the government loan. Back then, the economic crisis was looming. So, the financial help which government handed to the students became a burden. There were little to none which the government can do to react to the apparent petulance.

When the parents of these children grow old, and when they have their grandchildren and so on, these happenings will become the heaviest burden to their grown up - turned parents - children. At the later stage of life, people dies. This will become a real heavy burden, because a funeral might costs 10 times the amount which we can ever imagine. Below are the precise details:

Hospital bills - RM 50,000 , coffin - RM 15,000 , transportation services - RM 3,000 , burial land - RM 100,000 , cemetery paint job - RM 3,000 , funeral band - RM 5,000 , flowers - RM 100 ..... the sum amounts to RM 176,100. This amount is subjected to double because there will be 2 funerals for the parents, which will balloon to an unprecedented amount of RM 352,200.

Do you see this titanic sum now? It's a Volkswagen Golf GTi. We can't get anything back for what we paid. Instead, we pay to lose our loved ones. Life is so unfair, unjust, and it's another burden.

In a nutshell, family is a burden. Sometimes, friends are burden to each other too. A single helping hand can become a burden to both parties. So, people, think twice before getting married. Marriage causes many burdens. Humanity causes burdens. Neither I'm condoning human extinction nor discouraging marriage and raising a family. I'm advocating a sound family financial planning and a healthy environment to bring up the next generation. The message is clear, if we screw up financially, a child can be a burden to parents; and parents can be a burden to the child. When a child is brought to this world, we'll indirectly make him or her to pay a Volkswagen or a BMW in the form of our funeral. It's mad money for the poor, it's a mind boggling sum for the uncapables, and most of all, it's a burden to the child.

Men & Deers


Sometimes, I think life would be a lot more less complicated if we become a deer. Because then, all we’d need to do to establish ourselves, as superior beings in a group, is to stand tall and wave our antlers around. Now, here’s the case. All men will claim they don’t jostle around for the high ground in a group of other men, but this is nonsense. We all do. Some by using wit, some with the enormity of their wad and some by demonstrating their cleverness. However, the problem lies here, it’s weird. Things don’t get much better because there are many more men out there who look like a deer. A man is still a man, not a deer. Though we are not perfect, we can’t let our egoism to make things look right, neither to view the better side of others as a threat. Nobody is perfect, God creates us to be imperfect. Therefore, why the fuss to look life a deer with those antlers?. It’s against the nature for humans to grow one of those things. I must admit that I've tried to make myself a deer in the past, but I realize that it’s stupid and disgusting. Thus, I’m trying my best to become a man. For the sake of humanity, we must change. For your information, men don’t have antlers, only the deers do. And for all the men who read this, accept the truth, learn how to be defeated rise again. Don't grow those antlers, we can’t always win in life.
