我是有钱人
<我是有钱人> 曲词:任贤齐 原唱：任贤齐
我没有金银财宝汽车洋房
也没有很多money存在银行
但是我有爱你的心
好多好多装得满满的满满的一箱
你不要紧张
你听我慢慢讲
只要你在我的身旁
我就是那全世界
最有钱的人
吃不到山珍海味鱼翅鲍鱼
我只有剩菜剩饭放在冰箱
但是我有绝对的信心
可以把你养得白白又胖胖
我没有说谎
你给我回去好好想想
不论你在什么地方
我都是你冬天里
温暖的太阳
身上没 gucci prada chanel lv
也没有 adidas reebok puma nike
但是我有绝对的勇气
可以为你上刀山下油锅去
我是说真的
我发誓我不是随便讲讲
因为你在我的身边
我已经是全世界
最有钱的人
夜的诗人:"
Since it was such a humid afternoon today, I took my baby on new shoes out for a ride. I went to explore some of the places near home, but had no chance to venture into.
I have long known that Orchard Rd is a 20 minutes bus ride away, but I didn't know how close my place is to Orchard until today. I think 20 minutes was all I took for me to ride, via Tanglin Rd, to Orchard Rd where SingPost is. Well, I didn't want to ride into Orchard Rd without style, so I turned back into Tanglin Rd, to continue exploring that place.
The last time I've been to Tanglin area, was with my Medical Centre's minibus. We were going to MMI (some sort of army medical institute) to pick up some stuff that would eventually help people downgrade. My impression was, that area is rich man's place. The houses there were huge and beautiful. Furthur in, the houses there had a pre-war British-occupied look, i.e. they had a unique architectural style that was not built again in these post-colonisation days.
When I am finally done with the insides and on my way to the other end, I saw something which made me depressed for a moment. I saw, what I thought to be repulsive, all in one eye shot. I saw inside this mansion, 3 Ferraris (one of them is the Enzo!! Total $4 million), Pagani Zonda (my goodness!! $2 million dollars!!) and a Lamborghini Murcielago (waah!! $1.5 million!). Oh man ... I was dumbstruck with what I stumbled upon. All of them had car plate with the number 3, except for the Enzo, which had no car plate. I figure that it does not have one because it is a left-hand drive, so it could not be registered to be driven in Singapore. I was almost staring at them until I realised that there was a CCTV pointing at me. I shall call this place, Too Ridiculous Place.
Here I am, on my 2 wheeled baby, worth a total of $420, cracking my head to find $2k to finance my trip to Tibet, looking at a garage worth a whopping $7.5 million. And despite being a country of equal opportunities, we still have people who use candle light at night because they could not afford to pay for electricity. Something is .. really wrong. What a crazy world, this is. "
