wood door matched wood door, bamboo door matched bamboo door

There's an old saying, 'wood door matched wood door, bamboo door matched bamboo door'(木门对木门,竹门对竹们), haha, direct translation sure sounds a bit weird one lar.. hehe, so what does that means? hmm, normally in the movies, when the daughter pak tor with a rich guy, the parents would probably say this... something like we must know someone that matched our level, if we are from a medium range family, we must find someone with the medium ranged as well, not someone higher, and not someone lower... nowadays very little ppl think that way already...

why i suddenly talked about this? well, nothing to do with relationships lar... it's just a conversation between me and my friend suddenly remind me of this.. my this friend, should say he's from a rich family, not very rich, but he doesn't need to support the family, the family can helped him by paying part of the loan of his car (not those perodua or proton car la..), and also his house (not apartment / condo la )... that kind of family lar..

anyway, we were discussing about perodua cars, myvi & viva, he said he doesn't understand why ppl wanna buy these cars... why don't want to buy honda, toyota and etc.. why? becos of money lar.. 'yao tao fat' who wants to become 'lat lei' leh.. rite or not... i also know honda cars are better la, if city & myvi are the same price, who wanna go buy myvi?

then after that, he asked again.. i also dun understand, why ppl wanna buy condo/apartment. so many rules, this cannot that cannot, so small la, this and tat lar.. why dowan to buy double storey..

seems like this guy doesn't understand what it means by 'no money'. to him, if we don't have enuf money, we always can go asked from the family, buy car, RM 100K, only wanna pay 5 yrs loan, and one month max only can afford RM600, so downpayment? asked family to pay la.. same goes with the house..

after having the conversation with him, i really felt that the old saying is so so so correct. if you had the same conversation with some that has the same family background with you, they will surely understand how you feel and why can't you buy that!! Even when you go travel, if you go with someone that doesn't need to worry about $$, you will suffer, cos they won't know why you don't want to go eat at those nice and expensive restaurant, why u don't want to buy branded stuff and etc. of cos i'm not saying all rich ppl are like tat, but trust me, most of them are like that. hehe...

aih.. feels like wanna vomit blood after talking to him. hehe :p
