Rich Ma Poor Ma
‘Nuff is ’nuff…..Let’s put a cork on depressive posts.
Here’s one..that you guys probably have discussed with your children..or your kids have surprised you with their perception. Their perception of what’s nice and what’s not nice.
Perhaps their interpretation of what money can buy. I’m very fortunate to have many friends. Some of them are normal, some are super-rich. Either way, they treat me the same…that is, I find no difference. Even the super-rich ones can be a tad more kiam-siap than the normal ones. Yes…ratty clothes are on their kids…just like mine..when at home.
At this point of time, Mr.T and I have been on the lookout for a home of our own. The rental place we’re staying is quite spacious, but it’s really old. So, the doors, cupboards, carpets, curtains have lived a glorious life wayyyyy back in the 70s. Now…they’re just there to continue serving their purpose.
So…we’ve been inspecting all types of homes. The boys seem to like every house we walk into. Which is great sign la….obviously, means no bad spirits hanging around.
Then…during dinner one night, my eldest turns to me and shows me…
"I don’t want this one".
"I don’t want this one also".
"I want this one. Yes….this one is very nice. Buy this one". Pointing to the last house.
Bear in mind. Each and every house he pointed to, costs above AUD500K.
HOW?
ROTFLOL! that’s a mansion, not a house! some more, sold for record price (dunno record high or low!) your kid got good taste…

Ayw yeah lah.. Buy big big house, then I come tumpang come December 2008. My sis getting married in Melbourne and we have to fly Down Under for about a week. I almost fell off my chair when I saw the average 2-bedroom serviced apartment is about AUD 250 per night!!! Such a vast difference from when we went in 2005 when we stayed in a very very nice 2-bedroom apartment for only AUD 130/night wor… why so mahal now??

If you let them choose, of course they want the best - the one with the swimming pool, tennis court and bowling alley! But when it comes to decisions like this, only u and Mr T should decide!

Buy! Buy! The mansion looks nice!
Like Mummy ah, he’s got good taste.
Looks like the property in Melbourne has appreciated quite well.
Good that there are no evil spirits. *throw Holy water*
