I have so much money!

Oohlala!!!

In my thirty five years of existence, I have seen how money has the power to destroy relationships, the tightest of families and the closest of friends. Yes, money can be all-empowering like water or fire, when it gets out of hand.

Whilst reading one of the many tabloid gossip magazines that my beloved mother subscribes to, I had this sick inclination to slap some of the ladies sparklingly decked in Cartier and Bulgari, veiled in Valentino or Chanel, strutting in Jimmy Choos and Mahnolos. RM40,000 for a handbag? Excuse me? The latest must have?

Fuck, did these women ever go to school?

Some admittedly load generously onto charities, with whatever objective (yeah, not all charity givers have good intentions), but even then. Out of the 200 handbags that are locked in your gold plated ironmongered wardrobe, how many children’s mouths could you feed?

Think about it. This is relativity. Whilst an underweight child sick with pneumonia fights for his life, Madam is freaking out because her manicurist missed a millimetre of nail varnish on her last toe. Whilst a dying AIDS victim works to feed her three children with a stigma of abuse thrown at her on a daily basis, the poor lass cries a dozen buckets because Daddy hasn’t agreed yet to the new Aston Martin to replace the old Masserrati that she crashed. Whilst the blind man can no longer have the chance of watching his five children grow up and got robbed of his life savings, the celebrity downs Margharitas by day and cocaine by night for depression triggered by the lack of attention on the red carpet this year.

Seriously. Get a life.
