Of Lifestyle and Flexibility

I always believed in keeping real. Being realistic with what I have and what I want. Maybe the way I grew up and the job that I hold now makes me the way I am today.

I used to think that how I appear to other people doesn’t really matter…I mean in terms of how I physically appear to people. I've never cared whether I appeared to have money, to other people. It's a personal matter.

I believed what’s inside us matter - for the person that I am and for the person I want to be. My being, interest and passion – are the value that counts. Not for what I wear, what car I drive or how big my house is.

But maybe it does matter.

These days, to earn respect you need to have big car (or bigger car), big house and branded items and clothes. The world judged you from your appearance and that’s all they need to know. The cover is a very important than the book. They didn’t care how wise you are in managing your money… they didn’t care how much your debt is or how many credit card you have in order to survive your monthly expenses.

Ohhh……. This is what we called life with a style = LIFESTYLE

As for now, let me be different. I’m happy with my own mr kancil and my new apartment. Let me enjoy the flexibility of my income and avoid any headache at the end of the month. I’m okay to live my life with No Style. I want fulfill my other dreams before I purchase a bigger car. Yes... I will change my car. But I won’t spend too much on it.

It’s depreciate every year :-)
