I know my parents would not be able to read this but I would love to be reading this again and again as a reminder to myself in future. Ngehhh
They bought an iPhone 5 almost a month ago for me, just because I broke my Zenfone. It costs them a fortune, I couldnt be more thankful because I was really in dire need of new phone at that time and I've been thinking I should really get an iPhone to fulfill my WANTS.. Because I know myself. If they bought me another phone, I'd still be dreaming to own an iPhone in future.
During my sem break, our family car, Naza just got back from workshop and frankly, we don't actually have that much of cash at the moment. But my parents still insisted I buy the iPhone before going back to campus a week later. Thus, that's how I actually own my iPhone.
Lately lot of people have been saying to me "untunglah dapat iPhone untunglah kaya" and so on.
Its not about me being rich or whatsoever. I truly believe that my parents just want me to have better goods so I can utilize them and treasure them for my daily use or studies. And on top of that, I didnt get PTPTN for my studies. So, bear in mind that I'm depending 100% on my family for my living expenses and fees.
So I seriously feel irritated by them saying all kind of things to me. I'm not a spoiled brat as what those people think I am. I never asks for anything from my parents, its either I earn my own money and buy them myself or my family are having extra rezeki, so I get parts from them.
I am not rich. I am just blessed and thankful for whatever I have right now.
The last day my parents were in hometown (where I am actually studying), Kelantan, I asked them if I can go buy a new bag because I've upgraded my laptop from 13" to a new one which is 15" so it cannot fit into my old one. I've been planning on spending my own money on the bag, which I saw in Converse store.
But once we're there, my mom insisted I use her money. And she also offered me a new pair of sneakers. I've been saying I could wait for my friends because I lent them money. But still, she insisted I just buy it that time. As for me, offers like that doesnt come easy. So I took the sneakers and the bag.
I'm a kind of person who doesnt really spend so much on stuffs like that. I mostly spend money on food and books, so MYR300+ feels a lot to me. I've been saying thank yous a lot to my parents for that purchase. And also, my mom said its more like a gift because I got good result on my first semester's exam.
I just don't know, I feel I am lucky, lucky enough.
Yknow, i dont have ptptn to spend on things I wanted/needed.. But my parents never fails to make sure I get everything. Why shouldnt I be thankful, right?
Ma, Pa. Thank you for everything.............
