I am RICH...?

A colleague of mine asked me today.. "Hey, you stay near VVVVV is it?"
I wasn't exactly sure if the building nearby is called VVVVV, so I answered "I'm not sure if it's called VVVVV, but you know UUU? It's along that road"..

She thought for awhile & probed further, "I saw some x-storey houses.. You stay there?"
To that, I answered "Yeah."

Her thoughts after that? "Wah, rich lo!"
*sweats*

Not my house le... Relative's house le... I am rich meh? It's not even my parent's house le...
That wasn't the first time. Around the time after CNY this year, also she commented that. She apparently heard from some other colleagues I am rich. Oh my god.. Since when I am rich ah? I also don't know le. I also wish I am rich le. Then I can buy all the things I want without thinking twice, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times... but end up most of the time, still not buying.

Just because I am temporarily living in a relative's HUGE house doesn't mean I am rich le..


PS: Ok, how come my sentences in this post end up with a lot of "le" ah? What happened to my English? Gawd..

  • I actually kinda dislike it when people keep saying things like "Wah rich la..." , "Wah... rich lah you". It's not like we made those fortune ourselves - if any at all. And what's the purpose of keep repeating 'You're Rich' anyway? Unless a person plans to treat these so-called 'rich' friends differently, I don't see why they should keep commenting about our family's financial background like as if they know very well. In any case, it's always a personal matter and outsider shouldn't even be bothered.

  • Yeah, I agree..
    I really dislike it.. It's nothing but annoying!!
    Maybe next time, I should answer that I wouldn't be working at all, if I'm rich :bpbpbpbpb
