I'm 3 Million Dollars Richer!

Thursday, August 5, 2010

Exactly! I’m 3 million dollars richer!

Did I say dollars? I meant RUPIAH. Pardon the inadvertent mistake. It’s obviously a typo.

Yes, my mum just got back from her vacation in Indonesia last week and wasn’t she felicitous to be an instant millionaire.

Can you imagine if Malaysia shares a fairly depressed real value in monetary terms as Indonesia? We will have to carry suitcases of money I say! (Assuming the denomination of our notes still remains as RM1, RM5, RM10, RM50, and RM100; credit cards are not in existence and Malaysia is still a very hulu country. Assuming only.)

And when we start dealing, we go by millions and billions.

Imagine this,

My goodness. Millionaires and billionaires all over town. From now on, a fake LV itself will cost a few million Ringgit. And the real one maybe a few trillion.

And this will be one embarrassing moment.


Potong betul.

Well, to actually live up to this quixotic scenario. I did something to the price tag of the shirt my mum bought me, from Indonesia, of course.

That was the actual price. And the following would be the price if it is sold in the romantic Malaysia.

Fuah, I’m wearing a shirt that cost RM129,500. Don’t play play I tell you.

p.s. Congratulations to Carmen @ Teh Hijau Carmen for winning a whole month supply of heavy rain the Rainism album giveaway contest! Well, she was the only one who included ‘Rain’ in the captions, which pretty much contributed to her victory. :P

Hahaha. I knew there was a catch.

Ain't too bad, buddy. 3 millions rupiah, while certainly only worth a fraction of 3 million ringgits, is quite a lot and is 2 months salary of a fresh uni graduate.
