Don't Butt Into How I Spend My Own Money!

Weddings, ah, the blissful day where bride and bridegroom are made to feel like 'king and queen for a day'. And one needs to live up to that royal and kingly status to make that day the most memorable for the couple before reality sets in probably a month or a year later!

And engagements too are supposed to be memorable events for the married couple. And typical of engagements and weddings, the couples or rather the parents are willing to spend and splash, after all you need to show you are 'king and queen' right?

And one would suspect perhaps spending away one's life savings (those who have lucky parents will have their parents use up their life's savings) - even for the poor ones who want to put on a grandiose show. One wonders if it is to save the face of their daughter or son or the face of the parents to make themselves look good or a wee bit 'richer' than the in-laws, no?

Besides the lavish wedding dress and the deco and all those ancient rituals from Hindu, Western, Christian or even pagan elements even if in a church, temple or surau, no expenses are spared for the entertainment and F&B.

The menu on of a wedding can really tell a lot about the status of the couple or the in-laws for that matter. Even engagement menu for that matter!

Like the supposedly alleged menu of the engagement of the children of very powerful and rich people. One from BolehLand at the seat of power in Putrajaya and the other a few thousand kilometer of a former Soviet Communist state that was once under the Mongol Empire, (hmm wonder how much of Mongolian DNA their people have eh?) and now an independent nation.

By now, the most publicised engagement menu of Wagyu beef and marinated scallops and spending close to half a million of own money, has gone viral and worldwide too! But, it's not a surprise given the recent revelation of the number of millionaires and billionaires BolehLand has, yes?

And it's only the engagement menu! Wonder what the wedding menu would be like- caviar, truffle, matsutake mushroom, venison rendang, lobster and all other foreign imported ingredients and works we can supposed? Sad, the NFC local beef would not be on the menu, probably the cows are too lazy to want to be slaughtered lazing in the comfort of condos in BolehLand, Singapore and some overseas real estate allegedly one even at the future son-in-law terra cotta of the engaged couple!

Remember I couldn't afford a lavish wedding on a meager salary so had to do with going to the market to buy two stalks of rose and made my own bouquet, and modest reception of home cooked food by friends! But then, one can't complain if one's parent isn't a politician from the ruling party that is or the most powerful couple in the country! Or have an in-law equally rich hah!

So one shouldn't be jealous that the rich knows how to party and give their best to their children. After all, it's their HARD EARNED MONEY and it's not a sin or haram to spend your own hard earned money right?

So wedding or rather in this case engagement menu does give you a glimpse of what those who have money are willing to spend their own money to make their son or daughter feel a king and queen for a day! But then if you are filthy rich, you'd surely live like a king and queen every second right? So the engagement menu is just one of those normal expenditure we can supposed if you are mightily loaded!

So should ordinary and other filthy rich BolehLand folks be bothered about this menu and price list at all? After all, it's a personal affair right? There should not be any kpc-ness into this engagement menu and expenses. Even if we are related, which many millions are not, we shouldn't be kpc on how much was spent!  After all, what are parents for if not to impress their in-laws they can also have what they have, even if you try to live up to the Kazakh's name or more perhaps?

We ordinary folks should not be green with envy and sour jealousy pussies or be so kpc with a family using their own money to make their daughter or future son-in-law happy. As they say if you have it flaunt it! Hey what's this one night compared to the 'apa itu nama bikin' receptacle made of dead cow skin that one lugs in the crook of the elbow huh?

Given that this family has a dad who is a politician and a mom having equally political role in affairs of the state, it destroys the myth of the complaining Pakatan politicians that they cannot be rich and are so poor taking home a politician's pay! Even an ex CM and dentist have proven you can make your millions being a politician combined with being the head too right? It means our Pakatan poor politicians don't know how to save money man! If our Pakatan politicians can't manage their own monthly MP allowance, how the heck can we trust them to handle the billions of ringgit Petronas, EPF and Khazanah and all the GLC have huh?

So the moral of this engagement is that Pakatan shouldn't be so nosy and jealous of how rich families spend for engagement, wedding even holiday trips abroad. And we ordinary folks must listen to what our leaders remind us, especially 1Malaysia that we must spend within our means, we can't always depend on the government for free cash and subsidies, can we?

And stop complaining the guests are served wagyu beef or scallops! You shouldn't go hungry, after all didn't our leaders step up KR1M where you can also buy ingredients on the cheap side to prepare your children's engagement or wedding meals? So stop complaining mah?

So let us not be nosy and just accept it that this couple are filthy rich and loaded to spend close to half a million ringgit to make their daughter and future son-in-law happy. Why are we depriving what every parent wants for their children huh?

Another moral of this story is,- even if Pakatan is trying to pin morality issues into it like spending on Wagyu and marinated scallops when we are told to tighten our belt, save and not go into debt - the voters have elected this politician and given him a road to richness as a politician. Aren't the Pakatan fellows politicians too given a chance to make their richness now they have been elected by the voters? Go find your own richness and stop all the bitching can you?

They have already said sorry for the mistakes of the past. Why is Pakatan trying to poke their nose into a personal affair? Why should you apologise for spending your own money right? Or say sorry for using foreign ingredients, spending like there is no tomorrow? After all, they have done their political duty to remind the ordinary voters to live within their means, not depend or subsidies or the country will be bankrupt by 2019 huh!

The issue is to separate affairs of the state from one's hard earned personal money. When our leader tells us to better save or we will bankrupt the nation, we need to believe him about the state of our union, isn't it? What he does with his own savings and how he spend or live it should not be anyone's busy body business eh? 

Given the fact if it's true that close to half a million ringgit is spent, own money that is, it does give us assurance when 1Malaysia has told us so many times and we refused to believe, which is, 'Where got bankrupt?' And 1Malaysia has reassured us the country is rich and 'Where got bankrupt' by proving that he is able to spend close to half a million ringgit, of own pocket money to make the family happy!

So folks, please don't be so kpc interfering into how rich people spend their money okay? Just listen to their advice, 'You save and Spend Within Your Means please so you can also be like us,rich one day! And oh, Don't  Butt Into How I Spend My Own Money or Live, okay?

Can we now leave them in peace to prepare their million ringgit wedding, eh?, especially Pakatan fellows and the rest of us jealous poor lower and middle income group folks okay! Just do our duty and vote our politicians in so they can assuredly tell us, look at how we live and 'Where got bankrupt! huh? - YAHMEH!!!
