Symbolic Friendship
11:22 PM Edit This 2 Comments »What? Envy? Well, the story goes like this..... During some initial years of studying in a primary school, my mother had made a few magnificent friends (4 of them, to be precise) whom were destined to change the life of my mother.
The bond was so strong that it lasts for a few decades, and still counting. When all of them are married, had kids on their own, they decided to establish an account where every family must commit to splash as much as RM300 into the account every month. All the stored money in that very account is used for family traveling purposes.
Without fail, each family put enormous efforts with dedication, putting in RM300 monthly. Thanks to those parents, me, as a child, am always feel grateful towards what they've been doing. We started traveled (locally) here and there using the accumulated money in the account several years ago. I have to admit that some bunches of besties cannot even commit themselves to such an extent.

wow! that's so wonderful of your family! this idea is great!
Hehe... yup, I know this is simply amazing for them to hold onto this kind of tradition.
Though it is a great idea, but the commitment is not there for many people.
There was one friend of mine who wanted to imitate. Thus, she went and tell her best friends about this, but not even one person willing to put the money in.
Hmm... I guess financial stability is important before this can happen.
