Went to Bangsar the other night and caught up with two of my fave girls from the
Modelle Beauty50, Serene Gunn and Kristen Liyen later joined by Nash at Coffee Bean. The event of the night was aimed to create public awareness towards breast cancer and raise some dough for charity. We didn't really participate as we kinda hid in Coffee Bean to avoid the Laughing Yoga activity...yes, laughing yoga. you exercise through laughter. weird, i know. I'd rather not, especially when i was in my supper killer cage heels and bandage skirt. memang cantik sangat laaaa kan tetiba dah pakai camtu gelak macam banshee -_-"
Ok, back to the main topic. Well we kinda talked and the more we talked/gossiped the more we open up about each other's background, lives and so on and somehow we talked about cancer and Kristen opened up that she lost her mother to cancer years back. And then we got on to the topic where she had a debate with this girl, this....to me, famous and pretty but looks very plastic girl, about money. This girl apparently said "money can buy happiness".... Kristen said "my mother had all the money in the world and it didn't cure her cancer, where's the happiness in that?" and then she also added "So in the future, we'd have our husbands to take care of us when we're sick while your husband would be out partying etc spending your money and you'll just sit there, alone" and you know what this girl replied???? "I'll hire someone to take care of me"
-_-"
She even added, "money can buy love"...
double -_-"
darling, money can buy you happiness...TEMPORARILY.
That feeling will NOT last forever, you'll end up wanting and asking for more and in the end when you realize all these materialism is just a temporary thing, you might have drained yourself and don't even know who to trust, who to turn to and etc. I never thought I would actually know a person that foolish and ignorant until now.
I also happen to know a lot of people who tries to buy friendship with money. I've even been neglected because of friends who thought they have better friends who are prettier, richer and smarter. Oh well darling, one day, let's say (I'm not wishing it to happen) you lose allllll your money in the world, do you think friends who are there with you when you spend for them on their food, clothing, drinks and holidays will repay you back? Some might even turn their back against you and pretend they don't know you. Cmon, be honest. I think most of us do that when there's those pesky beggars who approaches us while we're eating in Hartamas Square or Uptown, right? yes, that's how. If a friend is always asking you for money etc, do you think you're gonna help forever? One or two times would be alright but not all the time,right? So really, do you think that when you're down in the dumps, most of your friends would be there to lend a hand? NO. those who are there with you, are your REAL friends.
But seriously, money can't buy permanent happiness. simple as ABC.
You will want what you don't get, but when you get it, you'll realize it's not enough as it's not as great as how you thought it would be.
But I will never deny the fact that "Money makes the world go round".
ok tetiba serious post, sorry hahaha
