~The Greatest Moments of LIFE~

HAPPINESS CAN BE SEEN THROUGH FACES, SCREAMING AND SHOUTING WITH JOYFULNESS CAN BE OBTAINED, WITH A CLOSER BONDING OF RELATIONSHIPS TOGETER. BUT WITH A WHOLE LOT MORE OF MEMORIES LEFT BEHIND, DEFINITELY, IT WORTHS MORE THAN ANYTHING IN LIFE.

It was one of my former classmate’s birthdays and her name is Chloe. A party was taken off at my house, where preparation was done since morning until evening and being executed at night. But without a doubt, it was something worth to be remembered, all the running up and down was like a treasure hunt, and at night, we have a test, a test of relationship, and all of us, I think, had passed that test, by getting closer to each other.

Another memory together, brought together just by one person, where everyone worked together and that hard work can be seen as paid off. Imagine how a human’s relationship can be? Maybe as high as a mountain, or maybe, as deep as the ocean. Memory is something that could be forgotten, and regardless, it stays for a while, for the happiness of humans and due those memories that we could not remember, maybe a day later, or maybe a century later, it has already helped to build up relationships.

Everything comes, everything goes, but there is always something treasured deep under a person’s mind where a person will never forget, which would be the memory, just like a treasure deep in the ocean, beneath the seabed that could not be found. But one thing was, we all had the same memory, which is what differ us from others.

Regardless of what, happy birthday Chloe and thank you for everything.

Money = Happiness? (Part 2)

CAN MONEY BRING HAPPINESS? OR CAN MONEY ITSELF BE A FORM OF HAPPINESS?

There are so many thoughts on about how money controls a human’s life. But there are definitely thoughts that human controls money itself. But regardless of what, it happens vice versa.

As I walked though the quarterly held PC fair in Malaysia which was held in KLCC yesterday, I was shocked as how much changes it had made since the past PC fair, the coordination of booth, the items which was sold and definitely, the crowd which has appeared in the PC fair itself has seriously brought most of us to be under the same roof, but not yet as a family I would say.

The items which was sold there wasn’t as expensive I would have thought, but for a student like me, it was definitely under my budget. Laptops, computer hard disk, computer components, computer cleaner, pen drive, external hard disk, laptop bags, webcam, etc. will be the things I would like to purchase, only if I have money. Even if I have the money, definitely I would be purchasing and selling it on the spot to earn more money. Haha. But regardless of what, we walked around the PC fair which was located in five different halls, and surveyed on all the items that is needed to be purchased for personal use, and personally, I have walked four times in and out of all the five halls, as they are controlling the flow of the people, just to find out the price of the items needed.

But what happened inside was, most of the people working there are the people whom I knew. Kenny working in Samsung, Jenice working as a show girl for some online game, and there are so many more people working part time in different booths to earn for part time income. Although I was supposed to be working there also, but I had a plan in mind and it was ruined because I was sick, therefore, the only thing I could do is to pay a visit to them and then to buy some stuff for myself.

As I was walking down the path which was flooded by people, I have learnt lots of stuff regarding humans. Some people can be so nice just to earn your money, and some can be so nasty, although they still want to earn your money. Come on, attitude, people! Be nice to your customers! But no matter what happen, after walking for four times, we rested for a while and did our analysis on which booth to purchase before going in again.

We walked past the crowd again to purchase and the crowd has definitely doubled than the previous times I went into the fair itself. But I went home with tiredness, but without happiness into it. Spent those money, but for my own purposes, for my own use, where everything is for me, but for me, deep inside my heart, it is empty, just like nothing is purchased, nothing is satisfying my heart, and therefore, money cannot be happiness, and money definitely cannot purchase happiness, but only satisfaction…

Money = Happiness?



"CAN MONEY BRING HAPPINESS?" HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE QUESTION IN EVERYONE’S MIND. BUT THE ANSWER WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN PORTRAYED WAS, MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS. BUT NOWADAYS, WITH IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY AND WITH HIGH SPENDING OF MONEY IN THE SOCIETY, WITHOUT MONEY, CAN HAPPINESS HAPPEN?

This afternoon was the day, the day where four people went shopping together, Jeffanie, Jess, Jeff and me, where only 3 of their names started with an “J”, but that is not the point. The point here is that we went to a shopping complex which is known for its class, for its fame, but what we did not went for was the price it cost us there.

We went there at the first place is because I wanted to buy a gift for my “brother” as his birthday present and the whole process itself went quite well. Firstly, we went to the department store in KLCC, a twin tower once known by its fame in the eyes of the world, but has been commented as the skinniest, but tallest tower in the world. Back to the story. When we were at the department store, we went to the perfume department in which choices of perfumes are displayed to the customers. Looking at the perfume itself is not a problem, but trying it out is definitely one of the biggest problems ever in which in our case, we have tried more than 20 types of perfume and although with the help of some grounded coffee beans, which was supposed to neutralize our sense, it did not help much either, the mixture of all types of perfume smell was still inside out nose, mixing out some weird smell which had caused dizziness in us. But rather or not, I was quite happy, not only because I did purchase a perfume or the saleswomen was very nice to us, it was because I bought it together with three new buddies of mine after I was being separated from the another class.

We bought the perfume, although it is quite costly, but there are still lots of freebies which was given by the pretty saleswomen and what I was impressed of was the attitude, the ability to get close to the saleswomen, the ability of PR and also all the ability to communicate well between the customers and also the salesperson, which could not be found in other stores of perfume seller. I bought a perfume and because she knew that it will be used as a present, she even offered me to wrap it up, free of charge, and with loads of freebies given by her, all sorts of perfume samples, facial wash, a pouch, and also a few more items which was wrapped inside the box.

I purchased it and we went out for a walk, and only after so many years have I found out that the place itself is definitely not a suitable place for a person like me to shop and all we can do was to walk around. This is because I was wearing a watch which needed some minor servicing and we went to the store to actually ask for a service, but the lady in the store told me that, it needed approximately around 700 to 800 bucks just for a minor service like that. WHAT??!!!! 700 to 800 bucks, but I did not show my expression, and all I did was to ask for a leave.

After that, things has gotten into my mind as we were off window shopping, things there are pricey, which is definitely not a standard or class of mine. But I was happy though, because I have bought something which can be used as a present with quite an affordable price. But here comes the question, if things are so unaffordable for the local people, definitely the target would be foreigners, but does this means that they are actually neglecting the locals? Does this means that all the locals can do is just to walk around, window shopping and do nothing else? Does this mean that the locals do not have the rights at all to purchase all these items which are imported into the country that is meant for the locals? The questions are still running around my head.

But regardless, if things are to be looked at the other side of the perspective, money does buy happiness, but only a partial of it, but for the time in this era, money comes first, and then the feeling of happiness comes later, although it doesn’t occur in every situation, but definitely, it is a bridge towards happiness…
