Can money really buy happiness?

All my life.. I have live most of my teenage year with my friends.. I have entered a boarding school since  I was 13.. MJSC Kota Kinabalu.. I can say that most of us kinda agree on money really can bring happiness to most people.. Without money, most of the people will have a not so pleased life.. Not so fabulous.. Not so fun.. Not so everything laa.. Simply we conclude that without money your life will always have less and lack of something.. However, the more I grow the more I see.. Hence, the more I learnt.. In fact, within my family, we can't really say that we are rich.. We have been through quite a lot of hardship to get where we are now.. Not specifically I was involved but hey, I grow up hearing their stories.. Besides, I have witness myself how hard they struggle in this life.. To cut short the story, what makes me wanna write up this post is that we had a family day recently.. We had fun, we enjoy.. A lot..  At night we had this small party and in a small hall we celebrate.. We sang and dance.. Laugh and smile.. Then I notice something when I saw they danced through the song they sung.. I see them enjoying themselves.. Like really enjoying.. Like they were the king of the world.. They own the night.. They don't have much you know.. They live humbly in a small village in Kundasang, Ranau.. You know, where the mount Kinabalu (highest mountain in southeast asia) :P .. Okay back to the story.. They really don't have much.. They don't shop in Pavilion, Times square, or simply go out in the city like twice a week or well.. You know what I mean right? They don't alway have that fancy meal you had.. Just the one that people in Malaysia call "cukup2 makan~" :P .. But that night.. I assure you.. I never see people that really really enjoying life, really had a blast, really  HAPPY, like them.. Seriously.. They dance and sing as they pleased.. No worry.. Not a single frown face you can seek.. The way they laugh really makes me jealous and question myself.. Why can't I be more like them.. Stop worrying about the problem I had.. The things I have to do.. Like just live the moment.. I realize what count in determining happiness does not rely money guys.. It's depend on our heart.. As for my family, true happiness is found when the family members gather and spend time together.. Cause that's where our heart lies.. Sure money can get you a nice house and a fancy car.. It does make us feel happy.. I agree.. But it can never be the same as the joy and happiness you felt when you get to spend quality time with the one you love.. Doesn't really matters if you poor or rich.. As long as you can get through this life with the one you appriciate most.. Get through thick and thin together.. Im sure.. You can always find happiness there.. :)
