WHY AM I NOT RICH.

This was what me and Val talked about the whole way home. Why is it that some people just have so much money, while others have to struggle just to get by the day. Why is it that some people can spurlge like there's no tomorrow, while others have to live on scraps and leftovers.

WHY.

And why is it that..... I'm not rich. Sometimes it's just so irritating to see people who can have everything that they want with a snap of their fingers. Like WTF. Why can't it be me. :\ It's unfair, ain't?

BUT.

I thought about it for a little while more. And I think that I'm very fortunate. Despite coming from a a little-less-than-middle income family, I still can live day by day, without any worries. I still can eat so much(!) and be happy. Okay, maybe sometimes I feel sad when I can't fufil my materailistic needs, but on the whole I'm still a contented girl.

At least I'm healthy, I don't suffer from some incurable disease, I don't live in some third world country. I mean, come on, I think that we should feel lucky to be living in Singapore. Would you rather live in Africa instead?

I have great friends, the best anyone can ask for. And I have the bestest mum and a sometimes-very-irritating-but-still-love-her-a-lot sister, and of course, the loveliest dog I can have.

What more can I ask for?

I think that we should be contented with what we have now, and stop complaining about what we can't have. Seriously, there are millions of people out there who are willing to take our place. So why don't just be happy and stop thinking about how bad life is? What for make yourself upset unnecessarily? It's not worth it, because no matter how sucky your life seems to be, it has to go on. Think about those much more unfortunate people, and smile at how lucky we all are.

If possible, I wish there'd be no poverty in the world.

I saw a blind man playing the clarinet today. And I donated. So cool lah, fellow clarinetist. (: If only I'd enough to donate to every busker there is in J8.

Geog test tomorrow. 2 marks will be deducted if I don't hand in the holiday assignment. I can't find my notes either. I'll probably get a -2/25. Haha. Screwed.
