A newspaper article recently reported about a particularly spoilt child.
She's a 20-year old undergraduate, and yet, she carries a $2000 Louis Vitton handbag to school and uses only Shiseido cosmetic and skincare products. She can spend about $1000 on an overseas trip shopping with her friends. Although it may seem to many people that she is spending WAYY too much for a girl her age, she does not think so. "I think it is okay for me to maintain my current lifestyle. I may be spending a little more than my friends, but I don't think that I am overspending."
Just reading that article made me sick, sick with rage and with pity.
I just cannot understand why she has the guts to do all this and show this to the entire working population of Singapore, who are all tightening their belts during the recession. This leads me to explain why I feel pity for this poor girl. She would not have been like this if not for her parents. Why do some parents just love spoiling their kids, giving them money whenever they ask for it and not being more insistent? If this girl had not had parents who were such pushovers, she would not have become a girl who spent money lavishly on branded items.
I just wish that she will realise her mistake before it is too late.
