Money, money, money..
It's so funny...
In a rich man's world..
-Abba-
sigh.. everything has to do with this stupid dollar sign..can't deny the fact that we need money for everything. Sometimes I wish that we don't need to have this to survive. Perhaps we can do like what they did long time ago.. barter - trade. Hehehe...
But I guess, it's difficult. And most people asked why we're here (working in Spore) in the first place. We can't deny the fact that of course, the exchange rate is one of the main magnet for us to be here. But it is just so we can settle our debts back home as soon as possible. And in turn, hubs wants to go back home once the bills are settled. (not!)
But then again, if going back to where we came from, where the semicon industry is slowly diminishing... I'm not sure if I want to go back there and work as an engineer again.. He in turned, suggested farming.. Hahaha.. with flock of cattle and sheep to look after, perhaps, some kind of plantation thingy.. and growing our own crops at the back of our backyard. Imagine Mary had a little lamb, O McDonald had a farm e i e i o...etc..Sounds good to me, no worries, no stress..
I guess there might still be stress..but a different kind of stress.. Hehehe.. (e.g: like what if there's a plague, and my crops died..) I wouldn't have enough to eat, to sell, in turn to buy grains and so on.. sigh.. the list goes on and on.. and after a cycle, it will still come back to the dollar sign.. And yeah.. I can't imagine going into agriculture here in Malaysia, in Malacca? If you tell me places like in Australia or NZ, then.. it's a different story altogether.. But in Msia? Hard to imagine..

Look at the colors. My picture of a perfect farm!
Check out the barn! bee-you-ti-ful!
With this machines, I think milking a cow isn't gonna be a tough one. Even Paris Hilton could do it manually. :P
And so, there's no doubt about the importance of the dollar sign. And some even say, instead of "love makes the world go round", perhaps, in actual fact, "money makes the world go round".... does it? does it?

"Money makes the world rounder" in my books hehehe...easier to get around, to reach, to explore, to touch bla bla bla.
money doesn't buy you happiness but it sure does help a WHOLE LOT.
