Count Your Blessings

Living here give me insight on how many rich people live their life. Ada boat, their villas macam resort, boleh beli ferrari macam beli ayam kat pasar, any type of bags they can have, diamonds, gold, baccarat crystals, makan pun hidang macam2, tapi yg they sentuh and betul2 makan just only a part of it...jadi macam untuk hiasan table je the foods..isk isk isk...takut pulak... However, don't forget also to see the poor. There's also a lot of unfortunate people who came from Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. The Emirati is very rich, even if they work menjaga counter dekat bank or post office pun their government bagi gaji belas2 ribu sebulan, but kerja macam salesgirl etc usually yg take over is the Philipines. Ada some yg make good money, but macam taxi driver or porter or building workers, kesian sebenarnya...

I pernah ask, berapa they make sebulan..they said below 2 ribu tapi yg mahalnya nak bayar bedspace. Accomondation sgt mahal kat sini sekarang, bedspace sahaja sharing 4 orang in one small room dalam AED600-AED800 sebulan...and bayangkan, my apartment yg company cover dulu the rental is AED135k and in 4 years now naik jadi AED330k per annum! Berganda-ganda living cost and inflation rate naik per year. Then they nak hantar duit kat family, yg tinggal just dalam AED300 untuk makan sebulan...so they only makan roti yang bila tak habis they simpan pulak untuk lunch, sedih sangat tengok and i feel them...(sebab dulu time student kan mesti pernah rasa, tapi tu sebab tak reti manage duit scholarship hihihi)...and yg lagi sedih especially tengok yg dah tua but still have to work, and bila u naik cab, they cerita about their kids and how proud they are with their kids eventhough they can only see them berapa hari dalam setahun.

Another thing is eventhough they all susah but they tak buat crime and respect us as sesama muslims. Crime is very minimum kat sini. Most of them are very good muslims yang sometimes some of them bila masuk waktu sembahyang je, terus pergi masjid or bila kat tengah highway, they stopped and sembahyang kat desert. Well, tak bolehla nak generalize jugak, ada jugak yang kurang ajar, but it's very minimal. Part yang funny bila tengok gaya they all bergambar...fuh posing macam hero hindustan! hehehe...
