i hold my breath and count to ten

i don't know why, but i seem to give of a i-am-rich kind of vibe to others.

many, especially those whom i've just met, seem to think that i come from a well-to-do family.

it happened at bp, and it happened again at pj, and at sp too, i think, at least in the beginning.

which is really surprising, considering how me being rich couldn't be further away from the truth.

well, yes, i'm not need-to-eat-instant-noodles-for-all-3-meals kind of poor, but i'm no rich kid too. i've enough, to which i'm contented.

but it does amazes/appalls (i don't really know which) at the really creative ways that some come up with to spend their money.

these are people with much more allowance than i get, and drawing a much higher pay than i do at my work place. but somehow or another, they can still manage to find a way to make themselves broke.

now, i'd say that i'm no miser (at least i'd like to think so myself), but i do think that i'd be able to save alot, while cancelling lots off my mental wants list should i have that kind of money.

but like i said, i don't come from a family who can afford that kind of spending as mentioned above, neither can i.
