Ribbit Ribbit, Who's There?

How much would you rather spend on ur kids' shoes? rm12? rm20? rm200? yes, i myself am surprise by the last figure. i never thought kids shoes can be that pricey. but it's true, coz someone i know bought it for her dotter. yup, sorang aje dh 200. blum lg adik2 nye. i'm sure she can afford it but thats not the issue here. sure i can afford that too but would i spend that much on a pair of shoes that i knew she will outgrown within a year? Definitely no. Mmg stylish, pinkie, with all glitters & ada lampu some more. Nothing lasts forever. Nanti rosak sket @ the diamonds come off, mesti xmo pakai lagi kan? then what, terbuang mcm tu aje. I must say the way they bring up their children might not be the same like my husband & I, and what works for her kids might not suit my kids. We never shower our kids with money. Always spend in moderate. Always tell them that we might not always can give the what they want, because there are more people out there that are less fortunate, no money to eat or buy clothes, no car, let alone to buy a rm200 worth of shoes. But of course they know what's the best for their children, I'm not here to judge them or what. Sekadar peringatan buat diri sendiri yang sering alpa.

Minggu lepas spt biasa kami ke Econs*ve utk membei brg2 keperluan rumah. Masuk gaji lah katakan :). Sampai di bahagian kasut kanak2 Balqis sudah pegang sepasang kasut & suruh Auni plak pilih sepasang. Zakwan sudah duduk kt lantai suruh teman acu kan kasut Ben10 yg dia pegang yg saiznye utk budak 10 tahun :p kesian pula lagipun kasut raya mereka belum beli lagi. yg tahun lepas dh x muat & sudah koyak sedikit di hujungnya. maklumlah, kasut rm20 shj :) kegembiraan di wajah mereka mmg sgt membahagiakan & memberi kepuasan kpd kami, alhamdulillah.

Harga kasut2 tu? Sepasang rm6.90. Do they know the difference? definitely no. Janji dpt yg baru. Alhamdulillah mmg teman x ajar mereka pakai brg2 mahal ni. En lanun lagi lah, sejak kecik dibesarkan dlm keluarga yg susah, mmg x manjakan langsung bab2 baju kasut beg ni. Biar diaorg rasa susah sket, kata beliau.

Berbelanja lah dengan berhikmah wahai sahabat2 ku. Sekiranya ada lebih, berkongsilah dgn mereka2 yang kurang bernasib baik. Berinfaq lah ke jalan Allah. Insya Allah balasannya lebih baik & semoga rezeki kita bertambah supaya dpt kita meneruskan ibadah bersedekah walaupun bukan di bulan Ramadhan.
