Being Happy?

Well, this is a continuation from Lilian's blog. Seriously, i have not been too happy lately cos of the many screw up i had. In fact, vague and conflicting instructions cause unhappiness and substandard work. I dun really understand why some pple cant even give simple instructions.

Then the issue of money. I bring food to work everyday. There's nothing wrong with tat until one day, when i was in Orchard, i saw this auntie (who happen to be the cleaner) sitting alone in the food court munching away her food. She also brought her own food. She had an egg and some toufu. When i look at her, i feel that we were in the same boat.

Things are expensive and we are underpaid. Although i wont say i am broke, the harsh reality is telling me, for money, please work extra hard. I once told my mum, with the amount of money i have today, i can support myself. If there is ever one day i need to start a family, i need tons of cash. On top of tat, the responsibility of taking care of our parents if they cant manage by themselves one day is there. By then money is a NEED.

If none of these scenario are going to materialize, it will be a different story. Now, I still have the support of my parents, that is why i can travel overseas, enjoy myself after office hours. Heard from news today that transport operators are having a fare hike again. If everything keeps increasing with minimal pay adjustment, we will have difficulty surviving.

I hate it when the rich becomes even richer, the poor becomes poorer. Income gaps is forever widening. Will there be an end? How to be happy when we encounter work stress or "money not enough" stress?
