Are you happy?

A friend of mine sms me the other day. It says:

"Are you happy?"

Eh! Of course I'm happy. Why do you think that I'm not happy? Crazy...

Life do not need to be luxurous in order to be happy. To me, simple is happy. And happy is simple.

You do not need to have to be a billionaire so that you can become a happy man.
You do not need to have few detach houses so that you can become a happy man.
You do not need to drive a 5 Series BM so that you can become a happy man.

What is the use of driving a luxurous car but without any single cent in your pocket? Somemore the car is still under loan...!

Ah...

But of course la, if I can choose, I would like to become a rich man. Though money can't buy you everything, but it can buy you temporary happiness. A rich man doesn't necessary is happy, but for sure a poor man is definately not happy. Hehehe... petrol price hike la... No money...

Because of petrol price hike, everything naik harga. Hey, ain't Malaysia producing their own oil and gas? The oil and gas that come out from Miri, Bintulu, Sabah and Terengganu are sold at international market price and all the money goes to the Federal Gov. Yet, these states are still one of the poorest states in Malaysia (with poor infrastructure development and bla bla blahhh). And whenever there is a petrol price hike, my friend who works for a oil drilling company grins from ear to ear. Because he is anticipating a higher year end bonus. Where does all the money go to? Someone's pocket of course la. Haha.

With the petrol price hike as an excuse, a lot of businessmen take this as a good opportunity to increase their product pricing. Agood example would be cooking gas. It only increase by few ringgits. But these dirty businessmen outside go and increase their food by 50 cents per plate. Multiply the plates that he sells one day and you'll get to see how much extra income he earns. Filthy rich, eh?
