Strange human psychology
1. When you buy a stock, you want it to go up, that's natural. But when you sell a stock, deep inside most people's heart is this: it mustn't go up further, in fact it must fall. If it goes up, emotions ranging from 'sayang', regret to anger will emerge. Hello... when you sell, it's no longer yours. Somebody else bought it from you, this person also need to make money, right?
This strange psychology also extend to relationships. When you dump your girlfriend and she went out with a karung-guni man with a limp on the leg driving a run-down pickup.. wah.. shiok. When you dump her and immediately a sauve businessman driving an S-class scoup her up... wah... shit. The beh-song feeling will come up from nowhere.
If you have this strange psychology of pride+greed, please seek help.
2. I saw some credit card company offering 3 months interest free payment for grocery purchase from Giant. I was like "huh?! what's the world coming to?".
Now, if you have a credit card, you must earn like a min of RM2000 a month, right?
And you need 3 months instalment to buy grocery?
It's bad enough that we need to buy a house or car in credit. It went down another level with furniture and electrical appliances loan. Now, it's all out crazy to buy grocery on credit.
My suggestion is that if you require this facility, you are as good as taking a plastic bag, going to the nearest hawker centre and ta-pao the leftover on the plates home for dinner.
