Over-blessed?

That day my mum called me after she came back from China, telling me that she had got me the perfume I wanted. *uh-oh* I've already pestered ah yeff to buy me the perfume, and it is now sitting proudly in my closet, still 80% full, probably a lifespan of half a year more to go T_T. I didn't dare to tell her that, and when she asked me, "your perfume all finish already, right?" I was like yeah, yeah.. Then she told that she had gotten me the biggest bottle of it (oh no!) and it costed about rm280+. I felt so so guilty, even more so considering the fact that I gave her 100 sing (about rm230) before she left for China and she used that money back on me. And I was really surprised that she remembered after like 2 or 3 months, wow~

And I told you about my screwed up bed right? Because my father asked me to give them his number when I ordered that set of furniture, after I requested them to change the bed size, for some unknown reason they called my father again to ask about the bed size. That night I received a call from my brother. Lol he was so funny, the first thing he asked when I picked up the phone was... "ey, the bed you ordered... is SSSUUUPPPPEEEERRRRR single right, not SINGLE?" In my heart I was like "oh sh*t, they called my father!". I had to act cool (cannot spoil my image mahh), and said "yalar.. I ordered wrongly, I realised my mattress is single, but I got them to change already, so what's up now?" I thought I might hear something like, "ooh daddy is mad so he asked me to call you and ask", but instead what I heard was "oooh nolah, cuz daddy is talking about buying a new mattress for you". Phew~~~ I was quite touched to hear that actually, after a day's of work where screwing people up is my boss' hobby.

And then when I talked to blubbie online she was telling me that she got me something I've always wanted for my early birthday present (errr. it's only like january? =_=) That really got me wondering, do I have something that I've always wanted? (Maybe except for that LV bag and Gucci wallet and Prada coat =p) Then I realised I don't really lack anything actually, the stuff I want are just like new clothes, a new watch, a new bag blah blah, they're all wants, not needs (recap from my home economics class in secondary school). These are things I already have, just that I saw nicer ones and got sick of them =P So evil of me right?

By the way, my early birthday present turned out to be a MP3 player!! Wow.. to give me something so expensive.. and you still remember me talking about getting a MP3 player a few months back in KL. So touched again~ sobz...

So hence my blog title, sometimes I feel that I'm probably over-blessed with care and concern from my family and friend, I'm just not aware of it most of the time. We tend to take these things for granted and we're all too blinded by our troubles, misunderstandings and our endless wants and needs. People probably tend to remember unpleasant things and forget about wonderful things easily *shrugs* But heck, who cares now about my unreasonable boss! I have family and friends who support me, I am still very blessed and fortunate =)

So, the moral of the story: Count your blessings (like what my tuition kid said today)

Oooh.. and I've also learned another thing after working this holidays: No matter how much you earn, you'll never think it's enough. Because as you earn more, you want more. Soo... relax... go easy on your money.. splurge a little... go on shopping and eating sprees.... then work hard to earn back the money!! hahaha...

Enough of preaching, bedtime~ I bet you've fallen asleep while reading this post haha =X Love you lots blubbie~~ thanks so much for the mp3 player.. won't divorce you for one day, which is today since I don't get to chat to you much today.. muaha.. sorry my internet went dead just now so can't reply to you on msn. Nights~
