I want more of that health, I want more of that wealth, I want more of that patience, I want more of that intelligence, I want more of that creativity, I want more of that laughter, I want more of that energy, I want more of life, I know it can give me that, I am in the process of getting them.

Show Me The Money, NOT!

This is a rather late response to the salary increment that the government servants will get this month. When the news was announced on TV, everybody at the office was excited like hell, except yours truly. Why? Because no matter how much the increase is, it'll not be enough to cover the expenses (traders had increase prices of some of the goods a week BEFORE the announcement, well blood-suckers can sense this kind of things).

Ironically when I heard that those under the commercial scheme (that's where I belong) would not get the same increment, I was mad. Not so much for not getting the money but more because of the fact the decision was made by one person who thinks he has the right to break up families (eh, PM pun dah bagi, dia plak ngada2 tak mo bagi) . What about the colleagues who had been hoping to get that increment this month?

This and many other reasons, is why I can't wait to free myself as well as others from the trap we're in, working for money (instead of having money work for us. It's very familiar isn’t it?), to show others that there is a much, much better way to live life the way WE want it to be.
