Spend it or not spend it.

I was on my way to Portuguese class, on a bus. Standing besides me was my colleague.

"When will you get off from the bus?" I asked, probing where he was going, coz I knew he used to study Portuguese as well.

"Buying a book about twitter."
"Woo, so in!"
"Just ordering and only available next month."

"So where are you going? Same place as me probably!"

True! Same place but different course.

My colleague turned to other topic, "I am thinking to buy a new Digital Camera, Casio, whose battery can last for 1,000 photo shots." And he added, "It seems very wasteful! I've bought 5 years ago my present DC".

Haha, is it too wasteful?

Let date back to our childhood. We were happy coz we had a new pair of shoes. We were happy coz we had toufu curdle (Chinese dessert). Of course we were happy because of many different things, materials and IMmaterials. But materials doesn't matter? People say that we shouldn't pluge into materialism! It deteriates our souls.

I thought that too.

But life is here, time is scarce! If materials, of course not excessive, can put a smile in your face, in your heart, why hold back?

5 years a camera is not excessive. That's what I told him! Enjoy your life but no indulgence!

We are the one to manage our lives and help ourselves be happy, and sure not excessive! So go ahead and put a smile on your face.
