So sick of seeing and hearing people whine about how broke they are and how they can't afford this, can't pay for that, can't do this, can't get that.
Not going to remind you about people in Japan to psycho you to feel happier about your current state cox i think that that is not the best example of "poor" or "poor thing".
C'mon, some people on other places on earth have been poor and poor-thing since they ever lived. Even til the day they die, they are poor, hungry, poor thing? Yeah.
SERIOUSLY, HAVE THOSE GUYS BEEN REALLY BROKE? Those who whine about being broke, all day long. Each time you talk to them, they'd tell you the things they wanna do, and they'd curse/ complain that it sucks cox it'd make them very broke or they can't do it now, cox they are broke.
I wonder if these people have sincerely gone through being broke.
I came from a lower-income family. I remember all the great times, when we can all go for a movie, when my sister got bursary and we can go eat dim sum together with our grandparents once a year.
I remember when my dad's fish soup stall had good sales, my sister and i get to buy a happy meal each =)) I remember when we could all go to 7-11 late at night and buy an ice-cream each and share the microwaved sandwich.
I remember a lot of good things that happened during my childhood now that i'm thinking about it, but you have to go through bad times, to really cherish the good times.
Therefore I also remember the times and times when we had no electricity in the house cox we couldn't pay the bill. But we had fun showering with one candle lit up in the bathroom. We say it's romantic, haha.
I remember we were so hungry but penniless, we had no food for one whole day until my dad manage to borrow some money from my uncle. But we were happy to cook maggie mee together with that money and praise ourselves for being smart cox we add lots of water to the maggie mee. Drinking the flavoured soup helped.
I remember at 1.02am one night, my dad combed his hair neatly, changed into fresh clothes after a day of work at the fish soup stall, and head out frantically to borrow money cox we were running dry, on zero. And i cried myself to sleep, asking a lot of whys, at the age of 13. And then i wake up to see $2 for me to bring to school.
My dad is not smart with managing funds, but he is a great responsible man. And he tried ways and means to provide for us. Fish soup stall, zi char stall, BBQ bakwa, durian seller, dish collector even.. And he's never quitting, never failing us.
We were broke, but we're not poor-thing.
For all the things we went through as a family, i grow up to be VERY postitive, so.. Don't need to tell me i'm ugly, lolol, i won't believe one. LOL.
The first time i spoke heart-to-heart to my bf after we started pator-ing (lol), who then (5 years ago) buys branded stuff quite a lot and enjoys luxury items pretty much. We were just talking and i remember i cried suddenly, saying,
"I don't understand how a lot of people can just spend say.. a $50 like that. When a family could break if the sole bread winner can't earn that $50 to feed the family, and he feels too stressed for that, and decides to commit suicide. That same $50 i didn't have, to buy my textbooks and lecture notes, could have killed me too."
Okay lah i exaggerated then, there's always funds and subsidy and community in the schools and estates we live in to help us pull through. So DON'T think of anything silly okay.
Just remember, when you're at your lowest, and the next day you could be shamed for not having that textbook/ workbook/ material needed for class, anyway, YOU WILL NOT DIE. There's still plenty of tomorrows for you to work on.
And now that i think about it, my boyfriend confirm thought he got the most demure, virtuous and thirfty girlfriend ever. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. He kena cheated already! I spend on food a lot. Lolol. Possible to eat til he bankrupt!
Back to people who whine a lot about being broke. I get irritated by a GREAT DEAL when people yak about how many things they can't afford to buy, that they want. NOT NEED.
WHERE IS YOUR COMMON SENSE?!
You are broke, it means..
So you have no money, penniless.. Let's take it as a matter of speech, you're just running low on cash. THINK ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE with or GROW the money. Don't think of what you cannot do with the money, right or not?!
I get more pissed when the people who ALWAYS whine about being broke, are the ones ALWAYS enjoying life. Partying, dinner with friends at some mid-range restaurants, holidays, new clothes, new bags etc.
Hello you earn X, you spend X and you want to do things that's X + 5, you will be broke AND unhappy, it's expected. Don't tell us, we're not keen in why you're unhappy and unsuccessful.
And one more main purpose for this post is, i don't know how many people reading my blog could be going through a rough patch with financial issues. But if you are, just know that now there are many organisations and communities that are available for you to seek help from if it's for the right purpose. Like for school, for basic necessities.
Be strong and positive and cheerful =D It ALWAYS helps. And never whine about the things you cannot get. Unless you're joking and trying to be funny. Lol. Like i love to whine about how Jerry Yan can never be mine to hold.. And caress, and love.. And shower with.. LOLOLOL.
But when you're really whining, people can tell -.-" Stop it.
And i'm glad Budget Barbie the show, is somewhat spreading a message that i believe in. That somethings are real, that they can be cheap AND good =D And we should all spread the BUDGET LOVE. Haha!
Lastly, to tell you how ignorantly happy we were despite any problems we might be facing then.. We are a happy family made up of strong, happy people ^.^V Not rich, but rich.

HUAT KUEH growing on my head.

Hi, my name is Xuesha, i'm from China and i'm mad fugly. LOLOL.
Some where in between, they turned my hair into this to prepare for the hairshow.
After the show, i manage to save up $12.90 to DIY dye my hair back to something more human.
So please, stop whining about how broke you are, it's not gonna help anything except make yourself feel sucky, AND make others belittle you.
You are only broke, you're not poor-thing. You don't deserve any sympathy. Empathy, yes, i understand, but so? People understand your plight, you also have to work it out yourself. So, do it!

Sincerely broke? McDonald's is always hiring. Cheers and 7-11 night shift pays pretty well. Oh you don't want to do all these? Then the easier way is to STOP spending on unnecessary stuff.
I want to see you eat maggie mee and bread, on ration, and drink water from tap.
Cox i been there. That was broke, you are just insensible.
Brace yourself up, tighten your budget, head dive into some proper work, and sooner than you realise, you're out of the broke zone. And you'd have earned back your self-worth, by a lot =) Jiayou.
Okay one more. Last time i got pig face but look quite cute. Bye.
