Today I met a 'kakak' who only buys tudung Ariani & has Korean stones embedded into them (like I care??) and she apparently earns tonnes of money doing online forex transactions... it was a chance meeting since she happened to visit a mutual friend when I was at the latter's house...

It's amazing how much value people put on immaterial things & how certain people feel better by putting others down... and I didn't know her from Adam! These tudungs will become worn eventually & the Korean stones may lose their shine, but a good deed & a pure heart beats all the blings in the world.

I survived the encounter with my confidence intact, despite the rather mean & unwarranted statements that she directed to me... so what if I don't have any Ariani tudungs with Swarowski crystals or Korean stones? It doesn't make me any less of a person- my worth extends beyond all these petty things. I have met Tan Sris & Datuks who are so humble & unassuming, you wouldn't believe it! These are the role models I look upon as they carry themselves respectably & with purpose, regardless of the price of the clothes they have on their backs.
