Difference between the Rich and the Poor

Have you ever thinking of what you want to do when you are rich?
What you going to buy if you have unlimited money to spend?
What kind of houses would you want to live in?
What kind of lifestyle would you want to lead?
And most important of all...what kind of food would you want to eat everyday?

Jack Neo's has a movie screening that is titled "Money Not Enough 2". With the inflation rate constantly present in our society, majority of the people are just working to live. Only the blessed handfuls will have the luxury to enjoy their life in this world. Well well well...how true can this be?

Recently, I have fallen in love with strolling at the Japanese supermarket (Meidi-ya @ Liang Court Basement) ever since my discovery a month ago. The place sells 85% of Japanese products, including fresh fruits, meat and seafood imported from Japan! It is a supermarket totally cater for the Japanese residents in Singapore.

As you would know, the standard of quality for Japanese is very high. Japanese stuffs are never cheap and you will just be surprised how much the Japanese would be willing to pay for having high quality of food for their daily living...even down to the perishable food items like fruits and vegetables...

My UNBELIEVABLE discovery of imported grapes from Japan...guess how much this is??

It's S$125 for just a box of 1 kg of grapes! Manz I won't be willing to pay that price...for just grapes!
I just have to make a reflection of myself here then...what would I spend if I would have just S$125 in my hands now...
...how about a plate of chicken chop at the new SMU foodcourt? One set of chicken chop only costs S$4.50...with choice of spaghetti/rice/mash potato and coeslaw as its sides...it's totally worth it! =D
Coming to think about it...one shouldn't feel sad for not being rich then.
Just take a look at the grapes and the chicken chop! For not being so rich and having a rich lifestyle, I can buy almost 25 sets of chicken chops at SMU! The rich? Just 1 box of nicely packaged grape which you probably can finish in a very short while...is that really so enjoyable after all when you can't even taste the grape enough before it is gone? Well, I am happy with my chicken chop and I would even be happier to use the left over money to do something else! =P
I believe as long as you look on the positive side for any matters, you will find the treasure of joy in every situations you are in...even that applies to your daily meals! =D Is it a little pathetic when you spend the same amount of money for a small box of grapes (which you have no guarantee it is the best yet!) compared to an abundance of endless chicken chops (which you probably would not have to worry for starvation for the next whole week...or even months!)?
Grape or chicken chop? Think twice before making your decision...that's all that matters for the outcome. It's all YOUR choices to make...so make the wise choice! *wink* =))
