Hey.
Quick post.
Tomorrow i'll be facing my first ever exam as LLB student. *fingers crossed*
Cut the chase.
Yes. I just got 'reimbursed' for my car servicing fees from my dad.
I used my money first and did not intend to claim it straight away. I waited till it's 'paycheck time'.
You gotta know when is the right time, how to ask for money and to whom you should ask money from.
Dad usually pays my car service fees. When i used my money (first) to pay for the fees, mom made a remark that sounded like this.
"banyak duit boleh bayar duit servis?"
I just smirked
Usually Dad will give me the money whenever i go for car service routine.
Since it's due for service and it happens that I have enough money, why not just proceed?
Dad 'reimbursed' my money and said
"Duit servis berapa? Bagitau la berapa. Bukan nya (me) banyak duit pun"
It's not about how much is your money. It's about sufficiency.
not that i do illegal things for money. So don't be surprise if I've got extra cash!
I don't remember the exact amount of my account balance but i know it's suficient.
FYI, i work for the money. Though it's not much but i know I can survive. Allah helped me through with my financial securities.
Alhamdulillah, i've never in short of money. Did not apply for study loan. Managed to go makan-makan and able to belanja my friends too.
Indeed I am grateful.
Yes, I do rely on my parents indirectly for financial support but I DO NOT ask them directly like;
"Pa, nak duit"
That's EMBARRASING.
Ocasionally i'll buy my personal supplies whenever my parents went to the groceries store. So i 'add up' my things into the household expenses to cut my cost. (Yeah. Be witty)
Then, my mom would pump up the gas for me. But lately my dad would handover the money for petrol. It's embarrasing to accept.
I did refused them once in a while.
Oh, I did asked for money but it's for the benefit of me and my siblings whenever want to go out for a movie or makan-makan. It's not much of a deal. Is it?
In short, as for me, if I want my parents to support me financially, i prefer them to do it indirectly; like buying me lunch and dinner whenever they visited me on weekends, filling up petrol for me, buy me groceries. I think that would be enough.
Don't hand in money. It's like receiving bribe or something. Maybe some would think "apa la tolak rezeki"
Rezeki is one thing, but if you're able to support yourself, why beg?
Go work! Go sell something! Go earn the money so you'll learn how hard it is to earn some.
Yes. I do online business. I am willing to sell anything that I could think of.
I am furious whenever some of my friends claimed "ala minta je duit dengan parents" or "nanti mama papa bagi la duit"
Hek eleh.
Ingat parents aku cop duit?
I do not receive monthly allowance like some of my friends do.
I do not have any fixed amount of allowance.
I'm not rich but Alhamdulillah we're just plain ordinary people.
For some, they might be rich but they do not have the opportunity and ability.
Vice versa.
You just have to be content and grateful for what you have:)
Earn the money. Do not beg.
Oh. Mungkin aku tak kerja lagi dan tiada tanggungan, kot.
Wait. I did pay my phone bills and sometimes send money to my brother.
Is it counted as tanggungan?
Nah.
Liability is liability. How you spend is the key point.
I believe Allah will help us go thru our difficulties.
Hopefully i'll be able to support myself and my family when I started working.
InsyaAllah. Amin.
I believe in the power of sadaqah.
If you feel you're in dire need of money, do sadaqah even for RM1
Hopefully i'll practise what i preached! (Gulp)
