Why do we tend to think that things are much better on the other side of the river rather than appreciating what we have on our side?

Hmm... If a Proton and a Toyota is same priced, which one would you buy? Ok, that's not the point... Hehe :P

oo_zy February 6 2006, 06:03:27 UTC

Would the qualities be the same? If they are identical in every sense (materials, designs, etc.), then I would choose Proton... ^_^

youngwolf2k February 6 2006, 06:22:13 UTC

Hehe... The question is, can they be the same? :D

No two are alike, not even twins :D

oo_zy February 6 2006, 06:24:50 UTC

Errr... Like I have a choice to choose within this company horr... If I don't go and work there, I would have to find another job... And finding another suitable job isn't an easy task loh...

mcbealism February 6 2006, 06:51:14 UTC

Then that answers your questions doesn't it? It's a matter of choice.

oo_zy February 6 2006, 07:05:25 UTC

Yaloh... Its choice... But why we kept thinking that things from abroad are better although its of the same qualities as the local ones?
