Ah well. I guess that's the challenge. MJJAJ had been working for a year now (yeayy and applaud) but says he could hardly save because of the high standard of living in KL. Even with his basic that is higher than the normal fresh grad level, he finds it hard to put even a little amount aside. And the fact that he is into IG Index does not help either. Hellowww darling, time to stop yea? ;)
I could not help comparing the living costs in KL and London. People might say that London is expensive to live in but hmm let me tell you the truth, I honestly think living in London is cheaper than living in KL. Put the luxury shopping bits aside, if I am to compare the price of a chicken between these two cities, London still wins. A rooster costs me £2.50 here but a whopping RM10. And no please dont convert the money. This is dollar to dollar comparison and what I am trying to say is, if I earn £1k here I could buy more chicken (and household needs) than if I am to earn RM1k in KL.
Tapi bak kata pepatah, Hujan batu di negeri sendiri, Hujan emas di negeri orang. Lebih baik negeri sendiri. Yes ada betulnya. Banyak betulnya.
Ah well let the time decide. As for now I would say I want to stay. But I can never foresee what the future has to offer so yes, I will keep my option open. Apa apa pun, Malaysia tetap tanah tumpah darahku.
Ramadhan is coming to an end. When I was little I used to dread the end of Ramadhan (although the feeling was a bit mixed up for the excitement of raya). When I was small I used to imagine all sorts of ghosts in the night time and that was why I rarely sleep in my bed at night. I will normally pretend to sleep while watching TV so that I could sleep with my brothers who normally sleep in front of the TV. But this routine change whenever Ramadhan came because I sincerely believe that the ghosts/satans were locked up in the hellfire. I became so brave to the extend I could even wake up at night for a loo without having to switch on the light. Innocent mind ayy, we kids believe what ever we were told. Those days :)
Hmm this Ramadhan had been an eventful Ramadhan. And I am proud of myself for not giving in to the tests and bumps along the way. Ahaa thats too much of self angkat bakul but yeah I have my reasons why I said that. I had been buruh kasar for the past few weeks at the stable working on the horsies dung and riding them in the morning and yet still have all the energies to work later in the day. Yes I am a super woman. Haha
And for the first time this Ramadhan, I went to buy baju raya with mjjaj and synchronized our color scheme. But hmm lets see, same color but different hue. Haha its okay then. He said it was his first baju Raya since the past 4 years because (well spare last year for the hand me down baju raya) but he had been wearing the same old baju raya that he brought to London for the past 4 years. Konon2 save budget. I have to admit I find guy's definition of saving is weird. Hmm
And oh no!! Ramadhan is coming to an end but I have not been to the bazaar Ramadhan yet!!!! Haihh. Well I cant go tomorrow because I am working. Looks like Thursday will be it and I really hope there will still be hawkers selling delicious food at the pasar. Fingers crossed!!
Selamat Hari Raya semua dan Maaf Zahir Batin. :))
