rant 21: the other side

"the grass on other side is always greener"

i assume everyone heard of that phrase before, and most of your agreed. i agreed to it too, because anything and almost everything at the other side (meaning things that we can see but cannot get) seems to be better. but are they?

i cannot tell you readers now, and most of my readers are most probably from overseas or i have no readers at all. but when im somewhere out there, whether its in the United States of America, the peaceful land of Canada or down south Australia, i will tell you if the other side of the world have greener grass.

its a matter of perspective and experience. i mean, you can say that the beaches there have better waves, cleaner water, sparkling sand and lets not forget about the nude beach, but what about the 'ang mohs' that came to malaysia? not too sure if they have good comment on malaysia, but there must be something good here for us to be proud of. ok, i admit that the only thing im proud of is that... malaysia have awesome food yo! and cheap too! with or without conversion of money.

so dont always complain that the grass at the other side is always greener, try and open your eyes and see why the grass here is brown. and with some hope, you might find baby green grass, ready to see the world. stop complaining and do something about it. maybe the adults are forgettable, but the children, we can always train the children. dont dream big, start with your own child, or your baby cousin, niece or nephew.

let do something, so we can start saying, "the grass here is always greener".

and maybe, if you say that often, you yourself will believe in the lie you have created for yourself, and everyone else.

rant 20 : bacon price

theres an increase of price of bacon in jusco supermarket, by freaking rm0.70 per 100g. thats a lot, like really really a lot. i dont know what the fuck happened, but the price increases and im really really angry!

so i decided to shop in empire gallery's jaya grocer instead.

cheaper bacon price!

seriously, increasing the price is a sin. especially such a high amount. what? just because most chinese involve in business, it doesnt mean that we are fucking rich. some of us literally pick up money from the street!

rant 19 : expensive stuffed toy

who doesnt know that im a big fan of stuffed toy is not my friend. i love stuffed toys, i started off with collection of dogs, as i grow older, i began to collect pigs, and then weird looking animals and dinosaurs (altho i truly failed) and now, anything i think its cute.

today, i saw a guinea pig, at the price of rm145. it was a buy 1 free 1 promotion, meaning i could get 2 if i wanted to, which i really want. but, i couldnt, because im broke. that aside, it was really pricey. i saw a crocodile after that, it was prices at 399.95++. i dont know what the ++ means, rm399 for a crocodile? its not expensive if you compare it, but its expensive nevertheless.

i dont know why are the stuffed toys placed at such a high price, and yet people still buys it. lucky bastards with lots of money. im jealous of them, because all i can do i look at it, and pretend i dont like it so i could walk away. i stopped buying stuffed toys because their price is way out of my league. i mean, i can afford them, but i know deep down, the money could be spent of something else, something more meaningful and important, like books and food and more food.

its really crazy that a stuffed toy could be so expensive. why is it so expensive? have u seen the price of the stuffed disney characters in disney land? its so expensive that i could cry tears, as much as i want them and that they are the most adorable thing in the world. but for the price, the manufacture or producer must be crazy, or high on weed.

you do not sell stuffed toys at high price! why?

because poor children needs toys too, what if they do want a stuffed toy? although poor children are usually more sensible and that they prefer something more practical. but i know, they do want a toy!

its not made of gold goddamnit! its just cotton and more cotton. and those cheap bears that will shed furs like insanity? fuck you for selling us a spoiled product!

and since when stuffed toy is something of grand? kids do not deserve to get expensive presents! they should learn that! buying them expensive toys meaning they will want something more expensive in the future!!

lastly, there are people who really love stuffed toys like me, or even more than me, but unable to buy it. we do save our money to buy it, but everytime we saved enough, you people raised the price. and its killing our dreams to own a room or a house filled with stuffed toys.

so please! stop selling stuffed toys at a high price!
