To Be or To Become

classy?? now thats a word synonymous with sophisticated...but how do we define classy? what gives us class or the lack of it?

most people would define classy in monetary terms or having more than the others... would you call classy...buying an 800 ringgit oakley sunglasses?? okie..so i have not made myself clear...sure the specs looks good...heck..its classy as hell...but is it classy when the owner parades the price tag like the fireworks on the 4th of July(or rather the 31st of Aug) ...is classy buying everything expensive and not even using or knowing how to use it? or the fact they have to tell the whole world where they eat (which of course is the most expensive place in town)..ordering the most expensive dish...only to eat half and throw the rest away?

hmm...i wonder if im writing this right...you know how you have something on your mind but cant express it properly..yah. i have that all the time.

okie..back to the topic...so what is classy? for me..being classy the fact that you dont have to announce yourself and yet you are distinguished and sophisticated...someone with class mite be wearing something expensive..or something average and yet still look as sophisticated as ever... he eats not according to the price tag...but according to the quality of the food..as matter of fact..finishing your food shows that you are classy...not finishing though does not mean you are not classy..most asian ladies can't really finish the big portions in the restaurants nowadays.. what im trying to say is..order within your limit. you dont have to go around...ordering soup..and then taking on the rib eyes and ending it with some chocolate brownie...if you can finish it..sure..why not. but when you cant..its just plain wasteful and it shows how greedy and pathetic you are.

it not only has to do with food....why buy an equipment that would cost you so much when you dont use it...to some..its because hey...its nike..hey..its butterfly(best table tennis brand around) ...its about buying to your level and ability... then there are some who dont even know how to go about the occasions...correct me if im wrong but would you bring your canon D40 to an outing with frens or family at lets say TGIF? that big bulky camera...wouldn a digital camera just do the trick?....sure you are an expert photographer...but wouldn you agree that certain things are not suitable for certain occasions...we are afterall not taking a convocation photo...its just a casual meet.

now..one would ask..why do i bring this up? am i jealous of the person who is willing spend 2000 ringgit at one stone throw? am i jealous that i cant show off the expensive things i buy? haha...well to tell you the truth..i write this because i feel the need to tell you what classy really means...im not saying im classy...thats up to you to judge...but its more of telling all this people...for goodness sake....we know you have money...we know you know only things that cost more than 500 ringgit...but at the end of the day...you are just the same as the ah beng on the street. in simpler terms...you have no class :-) ...sure you fake your thru most people...but the classy can tell...and you dont impress them one bit.

ahhh...usually one would end with some fine print..saying bla bla bla..i didnt intend to insult anyone..yada yada yada.. but i say this....if you feel that it is you ive been mentioning..then it is... so you can either deal with it or stand in a corner and cry about it...

ahhh...i think i shall start writing a little more about topics rellated to this.... i have kept quiet a little too long...taking the passive stance...everyday around me...people try so hard to impress...with their valued possessions....their supposed "machoness" ....and many more. ive always kept quiet...i dont see the point of taking them on...when i know who i am...i see no reason to tell the whole world :-) ....instead i choose write about them...the vain pots would love it im sure....one can never win against them.... but we fight our own small battles and win it in the ways we want to
