I was itching to update my blog but then I realized… besides Fighter what else do I blog about!? I only ever want to blog about Fighter!
Jeng jeng jeng. Identity crisis. Besides a mom I am NOTHING. Anyway not gonna blog about parenting today.
When I said the above, maybe it means that being a mom is the main focus of my life right now and that’s why my social media platforms are all full of it – blog is full of Fighter stories, Instagram is full of Fighter pictures, Dayre is full of… rubbish wtf. Also a lot of Fighter.
So when I said that, I thought about this Instagram account Jammie introduced to me. It’s called @malaysiarichandfamous wtf.
True to its name, malaysiarichandfamous is an IG account chock full of reposted photos from rich people (mostly young) in Malaysia, flaunting their wealth and material goods.
The day I found it, I stayed up late scrolling through all their Instagram accounts and jumping from one rich kid to the other. HAHAHA. *loser
Damn fascinating ok! I gotta confess, I was completely immersed in stalking their lives wtf. Every single aspect of their lives seemed totally different from mine or anyone that I knew.
Here’s what I learned about the rich and famous.
1. Most are second generation. The ones I saw on the Instagram anyway. I.e. the ones busy flaunting their wealth wtf. That’s why I spent so much time there; I had to put my Google skills to the test and a lot of time was taken up Googling them to find out who their parents are wtf. Most of them are really young, like younger than me or even still in school. So not to be judgmental or anything but the likelihood is the money is their parents’ la not theirs. So to be honest when I saw that I felt a bit like Wtf, you didn’t earn this money yourself why you show off so much!? A reader on Dayre pointed out that maybe I was judging and that for all I knew, these people could be super smart or successful in their own right. Which is a fair point really cos maybe they’re doing something useful with their lives too and this is just their way of enjoying themselves.
But then for them to be spending this amount of money means the money still isn’t theirs. If it was, their names would be famous in their own right cos you need to be THAT successful to spend like that. Then it opens up a whole new can of worms – is it then okay for them to show off if they’re successful? Why okay but not okay if they’re bums? And why not okay when they’re not hurting anyone? #philosoraptor
Either way, show off also good cos I can kepoh. HAHAHA.
2. They’re usually all friends with each other.
You know what they say, birds of the same 100K gold feather flock together.
3. Their favored brands are…
For girls their bags are all Hermes wtf. No LV. No Prada. Maybe got some Chanel thrown in because everybody likes the Boy. But if not, Hermes. The same design in like a billion colors. They’re like my auntie who buys the same shirt in five different colors, but on crack.
Why buy the same damn bag in different colors? Got so many other designs and brands in the world why don’t want? The Hermes design isn’t that nice honestly. Actually I don’t find it nice at all but maybe I have low class taste wtf.
My theory is that (a) they have too much excess money therefore it’s perfectly justifiable to buy the same bag a dozen times. But if I had that much money I’d buy all sorts of bags, not just from one brand! I’d buy plastic bags, garbage bags, recycling bags, eyebags (the cute ones, not the ones that make you look like shit wtf), etc. So the logic doesn’t make sense to me. Therefore, second and more probable conclusion is (b) they’re buying it for the status it brings. Which I guess considering the price, is a reasonable investment. You’re paying for status, prestige, and a whole lotta envy.
For guys it’s usually Loubutin for shoes, Givenchy for shirts and Panerai/Richard Mille/brands I never heard of for watches. Accessories are frequently Cartier.
4. THEY ARE MAD SHOWY
Wah this one. I scroll through their pictures also I feel overwhelmed. And very broke. Not all, but there are many that seem to make a career out of posting expensive things on Instagram. Much like @itslavishbitch whom I suspect is just a hilarious troll, nearly every photo on their Instagram is dedicated to showcasing at least one expensive item be it clothing, accessories or cars. Or the occasional private jet.
These people are especially adept at taking photos of their car steering wheels so the brand logo is obvious.
Which begets the question: Are their lives really chock full of material goods or do they just want to make it look that way? If it’s a matter of making others perceive it that way, doesn’t that mean that their lives revolve around material goods anyway?
Then is that the biggest joy of their lives, to look/feel/be rich? Why is it so important that their entire social media account be filled with proof of wealth?
5. It’s never enough
This really hit home to me. The average middle class person aspires to own something Louis Vuitton or Gucci or Prada. These people aspire to own Hermes, and because they can afford it, they do. I don’t know any other bag more expensive than Hermes therefore I can assume Hermes is the most desirable. So they’ve got their Hermes, and then they get another Hermes. And another. And another.
It never ends. Even if you’ve reached the pinnacle, there will always be something more. I can get all preachy now and say, that’s why you need to learn to be satisfied with what you have, but the truth it, that’s human nature. Never did this understanding hit me so hard as now: that we can have it all but will still never be satisfied.
Unless of course you know, you reach Nirvana.
(Nirvana = final goal of Buddhism, state where there is no suffering, desire or sense of self. My Sunday Dhamma school learnings applied correctly wtf)
What’s the conclusion? No conclusion la except that I hope if I ever get that rich, to not forget where I came from. And to not buy five Hermes bags in different colors wtf.

Good read. You’re really good at this ^^ Usually people like me can’t even grab people’s attention with just plain writtings. Anyway, the only thing I buy which is the same but in different colours are tank tops and short pants. lol…nnI guess as the saying goes, got it then flaunt it. lol. guess it is human nature to want to make themselves look good and shine above the others.. especially when they are in that golongan..nnhttp://www.tenshichn.blogspot.com
I really enjoyed this post! I checked out the instagram account and I can see why you wrote what you did. They are so flashy flashy and so In Your Face. I hate it when people splash their cash and show off.nnI doubt I will ever be rich because the chances of that are really not that high for someone like me! nnMuch love,nnLaurennnwww.lauren-ohara-x.blogspot.com
I believe everything is about relativity. There are many people with less financial abilities compared to even “middle class” folks. Would they have similar comments/thoughts when seeing “middle class” folks displaying their haul/purchases? I think we all play a role in wise money spending regardless of income status, especially in this age that encourages consumerism.
How about if I write a cheque book for donating money to charity?is this show off too?the ask someone upload the photo?
How about if I write a cheque book for donating money to charity?is this show off too?then ask someone upload the photo?please comment.
hi anonymous please don’t be a coward first and introduce yourself then only you deserve a real reply. 🙂 lol no guts
well to be fair they could be doing some good which they don’t document in their social media too. I’m not saying these are bad or selfish people; I’m just questioning their motivations and our reasons as bystanders for reacting negatively towards it.
Haha..no need intro la. Because you will defend in Dayre or your blog..
yea lo. If you don’t even dare to reveal yourself why do you deserve any respect or response? 🙂 also if you know I can defend it rationally why do you bother? 🙂
Haha..thanks for the reply.
If I can like this post, I would 😀 I know exactly what you mean, and exactly how you feel.
Sometimes people are just over sensitive. You are just telling what you think and you are asking for opinion but these people think you are being sarcastic and etc wtf. nAudrey you’re right! they need to learn reasoning and understanding skills. LoL
yea hahaha they think I’m bitching and maybe they feel it cos they do it too? but I’m not; I even said I realize I’m judging. but they’re trying hard to insult me back lol try harder wtf
u r nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing
is that a new rap song?
actually I think you can afford hermes bag..coz tim is millionaire right.nnsze
Pls Anonymous…dun drag Tim along here…if u dun like this post, then dun read, why bother?
Hi Audrey, I’m sorry but this comment have nothing to do with the post. ಥ_ಥnI recently came back to Malaysia after studying in Japan and I’ve been mildly depressed. Having lived in such a fast-paced city, I was so sad to see the country that I love so much is so.. undeveloped. I knew we were slow but I didn’t know we were so far behind. I’ve also worked in both countries so I know the differences, and I’m sad that the best here is incomparable to the norm there. I knew career wise it’s best to leave, but my whole life is here. So I was wondering what were your thoughts when you first came back? Did you think about leaving? Would you leave your family/friends behind for a better quality of life/career? nHow about Tim? Did he want to leave?nSorry for the lengthy comment. Thanks! （ლ ^ิ౪^ิ）ლn
I seriously think people here who resorted to insult really need to improve their English reading comprehension.
Hi Audrey, nnFirst of all, i’ve never commented, despite me following your blog for like 3/4 years now. nThis blog post strikes a chord with me. I think the widespread use of social media these days has led to things like these. We all want to be seen as we’re better than others and create our world which everyone think is perfect, when it’s not. Nobody’s life is perfect. nI find such accounts to be bothersome at times…but that’s me being a hypocrite again because I follow celebrities account who also show off that their lives are also filled with designer items and what not. nI guess it’s a want/need to show the world and to be recognized. That’s what I concluded. nnxnnP.S. I think Fighter is the cutest baby ever! His smiles give me joy!
I think that instagram account is a great resource for kidnappers 😉
hi aud, was wondering since u stated u went to dhamma school. so, r u still a buddhist n tim a christian? how did u both work around that?because sometimes it can cause issues among couples n i wana know how it works for u both
I think that instagram account is a great resource for kidnappers 😉
Hello AnnA good one!
thank you for responding! I agree that we are all guilty of jumping to conclusions and judging. That’s why I tried to take a step back and think about your motivations. thanks for the very rational and we’ll write explanation! and I apologize if my post was offensive; it was never meant to insult.
Hahahaha! OMG you are funny. Hiya ok i don’t want to be racist, but Malaysians are corrupt not all, but some and tax is low. So somehow id like to think they earn’t it through dishonest means. Which might be totally untrue. But, id hate to think that someone was suffering, just so that they could flaunt their wealth. Which is why high end goods are so not, they don’t hire cheap labour and abuse their staff. … This whole thing confuses me. . . . e.g buy branded to support more rich ppl or buy cheap and not know it was made in a sweat shop by children. I guess i like to be ethnical in how i buy things. But showy isn’t me, cos i got nothing to show!!! hahahah <3 you Audz always. xx
everybody can show off hermes prada blablaa bcoz now so many ciplak one on ig shop ehhehehe
Hmmm Rosmah also have hermes bags in different colours…perhaps that tells alot about them? LOL!!!
