the day i look.... rich?

i dont know which one of these scream 'im rich' - the house i live in, the car i drive, the clothes i wear, the bags i carry or the shoes i have? errmmm...

before u answer that, let me brief u a bit about each one of those above:
the house: FYI, i live in double-storey terrace link that's located in a neighbourhood which is quite far from the city. to get to work (in Hartamas), i need to go thru a 40-min drive (if the traffic is smooth). kalau tak, it can be more than an hour.

the car: FYI, i dont drive an imported car, neither does mr. hubby. both of us are the loyal supporters of Made in Malaysia products! keh keh keh..

the clothes: FYI, i dont wear Dolce, Prada, Dior, Raoul or any brands associated with the ones i've mentioned. working days, im in the regular office attire, which only come from either MNG, Topshop, Forever 21, Cats Whiskers and alike. Except for 1 splurge on Massimo Dutti. weekends wise, im always in jeans and casual top.

the bags: FYI, im not really a bag-aholics! i do buy bags (Guess, Liz Claiborne, Little Black Book, Nine West, Cats Whiskers, bla bla), but i dont change bags that often. i tend to carry the same bag for a certain duration of time (i've been carrying the black Nine West for the longest time!). it's a headache to always change bag. banyak barang yang sure tertinggal!

the shoes: FYI, i have 2 racks of 3 tiers for myself. some shoes are in boxes; some are not. some are branded ones, like Aldo, a splurge on Ferragamo, Charles & Keith, Nine West, Kenneth Cole; some are not, like La Primavera, Vincci, Mod, Eclipse, Cats Whiskers. i would say, it's a balance of everything.

so, u tell me, do all these give a reflection of me being rich!!??

u know why am i asking this? coz, i've had 2 people asking to borrow money from me, in ONE day! and FYI, 1 of them is NOT someone im close with. i dont even know her birthdate, ok?? another 1, yes, a person who's very, very close to my family and i.

so, i was like, WTF? "is it a borrow-money-from-Azra-day or something", i said to myself.. these 2 people, used 2 different methods of asking tho.. 1 was via text messages, and another 1 was via phone calls. so, i can give them credits for being 'different'?? hahahaha

adooii!! pening... dah la saya ni jenis yang senang kesian kat org. tapi, when im in need of help, ada ke org kesian kat saya?? hehehe.. ada tu ada... tapi, these 2 people, will they help me? to be honest, i doubt it!
nak bagi salah, tak bagi pun salah.. so, i told mr. hubby, asked his opinions. and as expected, he would say "it's totally up to u.. if u feel like giving, bagi la. just make sure they pay back. kalau taknak, cakap je la kat diaorg, tak boleh." (mr. hubby ni, memangggggggggggg la 'sangat membantu')

sometimes, u have to be cruel to be kind.. hahaha! jadi, kesimpulannya, after Maghrib, i gave them the bad news, via text messages. and, they never replied back. they must be hating me now! hahaha! lantak pi laaa...

moral of the story: saya tidak kaya. jangan la anda semua salah anggap. kalau saya ni kaya, saya tak perlu lagi bangun pagi, pergi keja. keja lebih masa yang selalu saya buat tu pun, saya tak dapat apa2 bayaran over-time. dan, saya juga tak punya mesin pencetak wang. kalau saya ada tu, memang saya akan sedekah aje dekat semua org. harap maklum... jika anda ada pertanyaan lanjut, jgn segan utk mengunjurkan soalan kepada saya.

hi..just dropping by..:)
Friends and money never mixed well, and you could learn more about friends by being honest. Unless your mind is set on charity - then when you lend money you should never expect a return. That's from my experience which I have gulped well...*sigh
So it's great that you heed your hubby's advice.
