be kool.

so we were wondering... "how do we get rich for sure, and be kool?".

start a business?
study hard?
work for some MNC and invest well?
buy toto and big sweep every week?

none of this ensures that you will not spend half your life slogging for base minimal, a HDB apartment, a Japanese car, and probably membership to some CC - community center, not country club. every Sunday, u bring yr child to east coast, not because its close to nature, but because a self-made sandwich cost less than 80cents each if you make five of it. even if the child is wilful on certain weeks, a macdonald's meal wouldn't set u back by more than 10 bucks. and the "toy" in happy meal is a conspiracy between macs and parents to give the child a feel-good time - cheap. provide for yr child's education, and if so fortunate yr child turns out to be one of the brighter ones who make it to university, you hope that she can find a job as an accountant and start working for some MNC and have a successful life, like yours. not cool.

Do you want to drive a Ferrari, like the rich kid who speeds past orchard road every so often, to the awe and envy of the hundreds standing by the traffic lights? they might be acting nonchalant, because social forces call for them to act like they are happy with what they have, especially if they're with a date and they put on this wall of false adequacy. (but we all know -we all know- they are all thinking "damn why is that not me?!") the answer, my friend, is not in the piles and piles of work left undone on yr office desk waiting for you come monday morning.

the Rich Kid runs a charity.
