nett worth doesnt equals to self worth

that sentence by pastor jeff rang something in my brain. i see people surviving on water and bread just to buy that LV wallet. i just dont get it. why buy something for the sake of elevating one own's status? how about looking dirt poor but pocket's full of cash rather than looking expensive but pocket's holey? makes me squirm when i think about higher end sales floor staff and fake goods supporter.

i do buy designer goods BUT only when i have spare cash and only when i think it'll last me for quite some time then i'll plonk some moolah down. i never believe in buying something expensive yet starving for the sake of carrying someone else's name on myself. why huh? an yves saint laurent tshirt (lettering print only hor) cost a hefty $300, plain one somemore. i mean, unless you're some russian mogul then i think $300 is kachang puteh to you then by all means spend lo. but sigh...

my motto:
it doesnt have to be expensive as long as it's comfortable and you know how to make it look expensive.

just last week, an editor from a high end fashion mag asked me about my personal opinion of the eco friendly anya hindmarch "i am not a plastic bag". i told him one word, "ridiculous". he laughed and called mr gan (the botak hairstylist) regarding some enquires about that barf bag. we went back to the same convo and agreed on why it's so ridiculous. hello, wakey wakey, black market sells that bag for $450 when it's only $5 retail price. ya i know it is eco friendly plus it's an anya hindmarch and it's CHEAP but it's ridiculous... trendy? maybe for now la. hor?

anyway, just before cg, i met a friend for dinner. and friend, i like that pat on the shoulder ^^ enjoyed the meal a lot too.. heh the rainbow did appear la ^^

after our district sports day at kallang, we went to army market for some makan and i finally tasted those heavenly belgium liege waffles!!! for $2.50 it's quite ex la but.. it comes with your own chocolate fondue wor~ whats there to complain about? remember... NEVER WASTE YOUR MONEY ON BAD FOOD.

alrights, this saturday's my turn to participate in the district games. badminton!

i started my daniel fast today. want to experience God in another level, another measure.
