Last night my sister and I talked about our friends in school and college. Just a general chat about our casual peers. The people who we shared beds with, or having the same math problems, or eating in the DS. And as the conversation extended, we unintentionally recalled a lot of great friends in our little discussion. So there were a lot of people on the menu.
To start with, my sister mentioned about one of her friends whom his father is the CEO of Petronas. OMG, what a small world! This child is studying with my sister? That's what we call 'big fish' sis, fish him quickly, before someone steal the gem!! I told my sis that. And she told me the life of people with money on their fingertips, which for me is paradise on earth. I believe that he must have garnered attention in that school and hosting a huge fanbase. hahah.
Besides, my sister blabbed at me that one local actress's son is studying there too. Knowing that, I wonder if my sister is living the life of Jenny Humpfrey of Gossip Girl. Life in the midst of the riches and guiltless. wow, that's real paradise. But an artiste life is too far-fetched for me, considering our mediocre background. But I'm grateful.
One more thing that she expressed her jealousy to her friends, I mean MOST of her friends who have been living overseas or spending a vacation abroad, to which for us, is always a dream. yes, that's true. Except for me, God-willing I'll have a chance to study abroad. Soon. But I never feel left out even if I've never been anywhere around the globe except my small town, which is raining torrentially now.
Because being away from too-much money, I learn to be grateful for having it. My hard-earn money. My own. I learn to enjoy every cent of it, no matter where the money goes to whoever pocket.
From 'never been abroad' I learn to cast a dream of going too, one day. I chased after this dream a long time ago, and went through many ordeals to achieve it. And I learn that A-Level is a living bitch, though it sound a tame cat to your ears.
And I will never retreat from my pursuit of dreams. And kudos to you money-all-I-can-have to trigger all these dreams. Thanks for being spastic and ruthless to your low-rent pals. And a little advice, people like me will be better from people like you. One day.
