Thanks for the birthday wishes people!!
Sunday, 10 June 2007..10pm
Just wana record some appreciation to those of my fellow friends who wished Happy Birthday to me on my 29th birthday, be it via SMS, calls & emails. Thanks for remembering. And also to my colleagues for the surprise cake. My family for the small celebration at home. Thanks a lot!... I was impressed with someone who wished me as early as 5.50 am in the morning.. Well shes always being a nice person..you rock babe.
This year’s birthday was just like any other birthday except for few things. First, I got a hug from a hot Azerbaijan chick congratulating me on my birthday. It made me freezed, startled and don’t know what to do hahhaha. Well, its their culture not ours. But like the malay people says, rezeki la tuh hahhaha.
Secondly, most of the whishes via SMS says “ Happy Birthday, moga panjang umur & cepat kahwin”… Sigh!! This never happened before ahaks… I know I’m getting older but…no comment.
At 29, life is cool and good. Having a good career, you have achieved your academic level prior to that. I just need to buy a house. That would make my life complete. That’s what every parents wants from their children. I guess I have fulfilled their wishes except for getting married hahhaha… I know they are worried seeing me still not getting married and showing no indication at all ahahaha… well what can I say… when makcik2 ask “ ni bila lagi ni? “ , my answer is “ lepas raya la aunty” everytime the same answer. When frens ask “ bila nak nak kawin?’ My answer “ tentulah tahun nih!” and it goes all the time. cool isnt it? Hahahhah…… but the most interesting thing is that there is this someone thought that im a gay! So I told her, meet me tonight and ill show you whether Im gay or not hahahha. What a crap..
And some thoughts….
Marriage is not an easy thing. Only once. Choose your partner correctly. People thought im choosy. There’s nothing wrong being choosy for the sake of the best for you. No doubt nobody is perfect. Personal economy has to be resilient in meeting the upcoming challenges. Current generation’s situation is not the same as during our father’s time. My dad, a former government servant also, told me that during his time, basic salary for a fresh graduate working with the government is RM 900. They can afford to buy an imported car which cost them RM 9000. Salary is 10% of car price. They can buy a terrace house at RM 70,000. What happened to nowadays? Starting salary is about RM1,800. Is there any car costing RM18,000? You might get a kancil but without engine and tyres I guess. Terrace house in KL nothing less than RM 300,000. Last time no handphones, no ASTRO, so its true that cost of living nowadays is very competitive.
Economist measure the inflation rate based on the price of necessity goods like rice, sugar and etc. But they missed out cars and houses which to me should be considered as necessity goods as well, at the same rank as food.
This is the normal phenomena of a developing country turning into a fully developed country. Young people struggling to survive in the economy. The idea is that living alone is cheaper than living for 2 or more. Getting married very late and not to have many children is a threat to our social development which slowly will give an indirect negative impact to the economy from the perspective of population growth. We will soon become like Japan if our vision 2020 being “fully” realized. In Japan, people got married late or not married at all. They will only have 1 child or 2 the most as the cost of living and raising a child is ridiculous. Malaysia has the potential to be like that. So, moral of the story, if u want to get married, duit kasi cukup la dey tambi ..tarak hutang punya hahahha, before that, calon kasi ada dulu lah! :p
hey bro! Happy belated birthday :)
Waa... u thoughts are really inspiring-lah....
