Hey Dad, whatsup?

Getting my mind opened up to politics, started to read more about what's happening around me in a different point of view or a larger scope. By the way if you're wondering how old I am. I'm just 3 month shy to reach my 20th birthday. I think it's an important stage of life, you know when you're a teenager stepping into a new territory or stage of life and start to live, think like an adults. young adults that is. I've been thinking a lot lately, worrying about my future and making big decisions on my own. I freaked out sometime with this fast flow of time, devouring my youth days. I come to my senses that if I don't take any action now, my life would be a total waste. I should pursue my dreams, rather than playing it safe. I guess this is a big risk I'm taking but I think it would work out fine. I'm going for music, sound engineering. Its a career most people say that it is not consistent. Well I don't give a fuck. I realized that a steady income of RM2000 per month (clean) is not going to be enough to cover your expenses if you're planning to marry at the age of 28-30. You gotta start buying house at an early age cause right now a normal terrace house would cost you RM250 thousand - 500 thousand and renting would be a waste if you know that you gonna work for at least 5-10 years with a company after your degree/diploma and working at the same place. Its better if you buy a house cause at least you can rent the room and earn some extra cash along the way paying for it. Then there's transportation. You gotta pay for your car if you decided to buy a Malaysian car and buying it brand new and sign a 9 year contract to pay it off the least money you're gonna spend for your car and insurance is RM 500-700 per month. After adding up the money to pay for the house and car its gonna cost you RM1000 (minimum) per month. Then you're left with another thousand ringgit, for your living expenses including food, electric, water, phone, car petrol, tolls and the daily needs supply its gonna cost you another RM500 more or less (depends on how you spend) then you're left with RM500, if you apply for PTPTN or whatever loan during your studies, you have to pay a minimum of RM200 (if I'm not mistaken 10% of your salary) and another 100 for tax or whatsoever. Now you're left with RM200 if you're not a smoker and sacrificed your social life, this RM200 is gonna be save in your bank. Maybe for your kids or your marriage (whatever you want to do la). By the time you're 30 if you start working at the age of 24 your savings will reach RM2400 a year X 6 years equals to RM22400 ringgit if you never had an accident or emergency or you didn't send money to you old folks. etc. If any of those occur during these 6 years (high possibility to happen) you're gonna left with half of the money or if you're unlucky maybe none at all. Now do you get what I mean, you're not gonna live an easy life, right now the economy is fucked up and the tax, petrol, food price kept increasing every year. You're gonna end up working to live and yes, you may get a raised but how much will the raise be during your 6 years of working come on la. I'm being very realistic right now. You can live easily without burden and live happily if you'd like yourself to be carrying the burden at the age of 40 with a lot of 'hutang keliling pinggang'. and go bald with your son and family during that time.  I did the math and I did predict what's gonna happen along the way, I know life's not going to be easy but I don't want to live that way. I'm not going to be happy, you might get use to it. But being a robot is what I hate the most. If you're ever going to get involve with business now is the time get yourself involve in one, or find a job, get use to pay for your everyday expenses. At least you can sum up the cost and know that money doesn't come that easy. Appreciate what your parents are doing right now, don't take them for granted and always thanked them for raising you. Cause I know they suffer and sacrificed a lot to raise me and I don't ever picture my self growing or maturing up to be who I am today without them. I would like to thank my dad in this entry cause he sacrificed he's youth and work his ass off night and day to feed me, raised me, and educate me. And how can I ever be thankful to him for all those hard work. Happy Father's Day dad. I LOVE YOU A LOT. If you're reading these remember no one lives forever and how you're gonna miss them if they're not around. that is all folks. bye.
