Folks who know me would say, "Of courselah you have nothing to complain about. You still live with your mum." And they'd be spot on!
I live in a tiny flat behind mum's bungalow. Rent free.
Most of my meals are consumed at other people's dining tables - mum's, sister's, daughter's, brother's. We all live on the same compound. I dismantled my stove and gave away the gas cylinder.
Which makes me a parasite of sorts I guess..........
I don't own a car. Or motorbike. Not even a bicycle. I walk when I can't hitch a ride or get a taxi.
I smoke cheap cigarettes because I feel it's sacrilege to pay RM10 a pack to slowly kill myself.
I attempt to grow my own greens and stuff. So far the kailan, carrots, kangkung, tomato, chilli, spinach, okra, cucumber, pegaga, mango, guava, soursop plants are still alive. Though I've yet to experience the thrill of harvesting them. Am praying that I'll get the chance to do so.
I now drink Kopi Hang Tuah because I'm somewhat rascist.
Endeavouring to stay away from Zionist friendly products have saved me some RM.
My daughters' eatery provides my contribution to potluck parties. A good thing my friends love the food.
Being abaya clad I needn't worry about my wardrobe. What I have takes me everywhere. Nobody notices black clad ladies in oversized clothes much.
Being over 50, single mum, unemployed get me a lot of invitations for free meals. Free rides too.
My grandkids think I'm dirt poor as I only have biscuits and dates in my flat. Add that to a yet-to-be-fixed-for-the-longest-time refrigerator. So they hardly ask me for anything. They only drink plain water in my home as I only stock that plus tea and coffee. I figure they could easily run home to get their Milo, Vitagen, CalciYum, Peel Fresh fix.
All visitors to my home know that they'll need to bring their own food when they visit at mealtimes. They bring enough to feed me too. My friends are really very nice people.
My electricity bill seldom exceed RM100 every quarter. I know that if I sleep regular hours like most folks, I'd probably cut that down by 30%.
A 3kg box of MaxKleen 9 laundry detergent lasts for more than 6 months.
Since I don't cook and mostly eat at other people's dining tables, I don't do a lot of dishwashing. I've the same bottle of dishwashing liquid which I bought when I first moved in - sometime in October last year.
My family's water supply is free. We pipe in spring water from the hills at the back of the property.
I'm a lazy so and so who loves staying in. And can comfortably survive on biscuits and dates.
I'm SO blessed! ;)
Sorry I can't bitch along with you......but I promise to nod emphatically.......
