OK .. So I bought a new watch 2weeks back .. It costs me RM300. But I am happy to give away the $$ cuz I have always wanted to have a new watch. What about my old watch? Well ... I gave that to my mom 3 years back, and considering myself don't have a watch for 3 years, buying a new watch is not considering as wasting. Well, at least I didn't think so that time.
How many ppl will be like me? I mean like having this kind of thought? When you don't have this something, you wanted to have it. When you actually had it, you feel that it is ok if you do not have this too. Why am I saying that I am such a jerk in my MSN's personal message? This is cuz I heard this advertisement from WorldVision from radio. This ad brought up something that I wanted to do, but I didn't taken another step.
Months ago, I wanted to join WorldVision, by raising a kid with just only RM50 per month. I even send inquiry to them on how to transfer the $$ to them, using bank transfer instead of debit the $$ from credit card, as I do not have credit card. I got the positive reply from them on how to transfer through bank account, and I told someone about my plan, and she changed my mind eventually. And another one reason I dropped this cuz I was unable to sign up from their website. I have no idea, but I tried for 3 times, I just unable to sign up due to the unknown error.
And after that I forgot about this, until a few days ago.
If I didn't buy this watch, I will be RM300 richer, and this RM300 is enough for 6kids to survive for a month? Imagine this, eating a meal in KFC is equivalence to 6days expense for an African kid. All in a sudden, I feel so awful. I am so lucky compares to them. And I am so selfish, saving the $$ for my own use, instead of doing donations .... really wordless, no other words to describe myself except Selfish ...
To make myself feel better, I told myself, I still need to buy a car and insurance first, then after that I should be able to join WorldVision ... but by that time .. will I still have this kind of thought ???

Different people have different list of necessities that they have to consider from time to time.
You are in no position to help others by much since you have way too many things to fulfill. Do help when you are capable of doing so but make sure you help yourself first before that.
By the way, in case you do not know, all donations to recognized charitable organizations can be filed for deduction in your annual income tax.
You have got yourself a beautiful watch. ;)
