2 evidences that i was trained to be a money grabber from young.

During my time, those 'idol cards' bearing pictures of idols such as Viven Chow, The 4 Heavenly Kings and the likes of Grasshoppers were in vogue. Just put 20cents into those machines and you will get a card. I was part of the craze as well. I probably spent my free time after school turning those knobs and get those cards. How elated i was when i got those 'Gold Cards' !(Merely some stickers with reflective glitter) My friends and i began trading among one another, selling and exchanging cards for cards which we didn't have and for $$...It was kind of like barter trade in modern sense. How on earth 10 year old kids like us began knowing how to profit from things which we have extras of??

I enjoyed going to my maternal grandma's house when i was young. Apart from the company of my elder cousin, i was on a mission to earn some extra pocket money. My cousin and i would always offer/sometimes forced to pluck those moustache from my uncle's face using those pinchers. I think we also did massage and scratching of back. In short, we were like masseurs.
In return for our effort, we were rewarded with $5!! Which was a lot 10-13 years back.

How did i spend the reward?? I am damn sure i spent them all on sweets and stationeries.Heehee

See, I am born to earn money...School didn't teach me.
