Poor but happy

Poor but happy. That is what my childhood is about. When I was just a little kid, there is no TV in my house and we have to go to the neighbour's house to watch TV. Although there is no TV in my house, I was happy as a kid. My mother loves me very much and  I am pampered by her. This make up for the lack of material goods in my childhood.

My dad used to buy "Hokkein mee" whenever his pay day came. Although I do not have many toys to play with and clothes to wear, I was very happy. In the government flat where I lived, there were many good and tasty food to eat like my favourite, "Hokkein mee".

Compared to now, when I can buy most of the things that I want or fancy, I feel that I was happier as a kid with my parents around. Sad to say, my parents were not around to enjoy life with me when I was earning a decent income.

How I wish I can still have my parents around so that I can pamper them too. Well, school days were still the best compared to working life. Having said that, I do like my work and the nitty gritty that comes with it. However, sometimes I do feel I will have a better career life if not for certain things that happened in my life.

A person need not be rich to be happy. She willl feel happy when she is living her life to her satisfaction.
