The Value of RM10...

During my days at bootcamp...i met a lot of ppl..from all walks of life..from those that come from very "kais makan pagi background" to those where Dome/Starbucks breakfast is a ritual....mingling around n making frens with these people taught me a lot..(yeah..ths was the positive impact of bootcamp)..

Basically our months pay was the same...but they came a line on how we all spent our money..n how fast it all shrank wen comparing to the others...well basically we all took home the same figure..but it came down to a lot of things that made the shrinking faster...like were they married? if so.. did they hav kids? how many? if it was a guy..the money definitely shrunk faster due to their bigger responsibility..if they had parents to help..the more...

i also came across those without any financial burden..being single..rich family..so of course money was no problem...and those with good income pay husbands..so again $$ was no issue...

People in general..not just in bootcamp..love to judge at other people's lifestyle...to me its ok to comment..but before u go on n on n on about ones life..just ask urself..have u ever been in their shoes? do u know exactly what goes on in their life??? so if u don't..lets just keep the comments at minimal...one thing that i did not come across among the sea of 300++ people in camp... is a person judging the value of RM10 to another person...(yup suprisingly..) if someone in our group did not agree on a figure to be collected..no one said like "eh x kan Rm10 pun xleh!!.." because i guess..we all understood that RM10 to u may be worth more than RM10 to us...we saw how our frens struggle to pay flight tickets to be with their families even just for a nite..mothers who spent RM500 a nite just to be with their babies..in that sense i felt soo lucky...being close to my baby..thou i didnt get to go home..he was always close...

My roomate at bootcamp..who althou was single..helped her family a lot..she was always on budget...but i respected her...caring for her family...bought a car for her parents..drove her parents everywhere..i really hope Allah will find a kind soul to take care of her..she deserves it..n the value of RM10 to her is worth more than mine...another fren was beaming from ear to ear when she got to buy 3 bags at RM300++..one for her mom...one for her MIL n one for herself...

The point of my entry is..NO..there is no issue at present on my part on the value of RM10..but i was compelled to write when I saw a group judging someone...i may be no angel..but hey..pls respect other people's life.... i do..i made a pact to always try n understand..if one day..ur RM10 mite be equivalent to my RM100..n u hear me judging u..please do not hesitate to tick me off....because i learnt also in bootcamp that those who try not to judge others..have a more blissful life....without the long list of wants...they live with needs..but their lives r happy n blessed...
