Rich Gal, Poor Gal

While the rich gal

1. Flashes her credit card to get discounts at restaurants
2. Gets a big welcome and is attentively ushered in to try the mouth-watering, uniquely crafted, freshly baked dessert and pastries at upclass bakeries
3. Redeems her accumulated points to enjoy a luxurious spa cum facial cum pedicure/manicure package
4. Receives personalised ideas and tips based on her preferences and features from her professional and experienced hairstylist when she wants a hairstyle change
5. Gets invitations to preview sales
6. Effortlessly monitors her heartbeat and calories burnt with a stylish Polar Heart Monitor
7. Plans to keep in good shape for the socialite lifestyle by signing for more gym sessions and activities with such inspiring names such as Cardio Kick, Power Steps and Body Combat
8. Draws a long shopping list filled with LV, Prada and what nots to be done in Europe



The poor gal....
1. Unglamorously takes out the coupons to get discounts at the eateries
2. Gets cordoned to join the snaking 830pm queue to get a taste of those bread and pastries, many of which disfigured by the frenzied grabbing once 830pm strikes
3. Contemplates enduring a bumpy ride to JB so as to enjoy the currency rates and get a value for money beauty session
4. Has to throng magazines/internet to get ideas and then try very very hard to activate the defunct imagination to see if the hairstyle would suit herself
5. Religiously flips through the newspaper early in the morning to know what is on sale and to forecast when/where there is going to be a storewide sale coming up
6. Puts a finger on the pulse and scares herself silly with a distracted-then-miscounted incredibly low heartrate count
7. Gets a heart pumping workout and sprint upon a fright by a cat brushing horrendously close to her when dashing across the road
8. Draws an equally long list, as consolation, to be fulfilled, not in Europe but in Bangkok


But despite it all, poor gal feels rich to have her lovely family and friends, a good book that puts life into perspective and draws her closer to Him once again. Poor gal is so thankful, for the numerous blessings that has come her way and you are one of them. :)

Okay, this is the REAL anonymous talking... :P Not the fake ones that you get from time to time... hehe...

Glad you like the book, babe. Am reading Pride & Purity by Elisabeth Elliot. If you want a female's perspective on the issue, read this one. Highly recommended.
