Looking into the future....

There i was walking with baddin when i decided to enter this one shop... a respectable beyaz eşya selling product...i took their products catalogue...what was staring at me was something of a shock...well..at least to me... especially since i never really bothered to look at the prices of these things....One Us dollar is equavalent to 1.4 YTL (New Turkish Lira)

Washing Machine

( we cant wear a clothhing once n throw it into the rubbish bin can we?)

Cheapest price:648YTL

Highest price: 3.087

Vacuum Cleaner

(or else...How to keep the house almost dust free?)

Cheapest price:125YTL

Highest price: 545 YTL





Dish Washer (The cute cat not included heheh)

Cheapest price: 702YTL

Highest Price: 1.672YTL



Fridge

(Else how to get my ice for my coke?)

Cheapest price: 650YTL

Highest price: 3.692YTL

Stove n Oven

(u do want to win ur husband's heart thru ur cooking, right?)

Cheapest price: 711YTL

Highest price: 1.710YTL



Living room set?

Dining room set??


bedroom set?
(for the prices..u may have to ask bellona..istikbal or deco... n many other furniture shops for the prices :0)


I mean if u wanna have a fully furnished home, these r just among the basic things u will need for ur new home....n these things..u dont buy all the time.... u will probably buy once (or maybe twice? or thrice? heheh) in ur lifetime... so u may wantit to be as sophisticated n yet simple as possible la kan?

That made me wonder... by the time hatice n baddin will be ready to get married (insyaAllah) one day... the pricess of these things will be at least triple (n most probably more) the price it is now...

ouch!

So hatice n baddin have only a few options...
For hatice:
She can either be very successful in her life... save loads of money n use that money for her new home...
or she work.. the hubby can work..together they can both save up to buy the contents of their new home..
or she can just simply find a young..cute...wonderful hearted husband (n RicH) to cater her taste in the new home..
or her anne n baba will have to sponsor her (ouch!)

For baddin:
He's a guy..so he doesnt really have a choice... he has to study hard... find a really lucrative job n earns loads of money..
or
both he n his wife can work...save up the money together n buy whatever they need together
or
his anne n baba can sponsor him (more ouch!)


hahahhhah just listen to me.... my haticem is only 6! n my baddin is only 5!! hahaha they have a longgg way to go before they will even get married!


but just think...
Wouldnt it be simpler to just live

on a tree hut (sure..right...with snakes n insects crawling around? ..no thanks... besides..where got tree ?? all chopped up)
or use this hand sweeper instead of the vacuum cleaner
(hand sweeper doesnt collect dust i think..)

or like these ladies... carry the laundry..
(oit... sakit pinggang la..my backbone is not so strong)

n wash the clothes at the river

(sure...sure...n get myself all wet by the river water n faint under the sun))

or cook using the old type of stove

(dunno how to..may burn the house down)

and use the banana leaves as the plate
(whatttttttttt??)

It may be possible to go to the basics... but i think we all r too lazy to do so...once u have the taste of technology....u cant imagine urself going back to the old ways of doing things...we r too pampered..

Take myself for instance.. all my life, i was brought up to wash the dishes by hand... in fact, i first see a dishwasher for real after i came here to istanbul.. but after 7 n a half years here.. i become tooo pampered... the only time i have to wash the dishes by hands or wash the clothing by hands is when we go to sapanca during summer...to start all over again to the basics si quite difficult.. but of course..once u get the hang of it... u can do it...

money money money... everything is all about money these days.. true..money cant buy love..but money can surely speed up the comfort for the love built to stay comfortable...if i am to choose between going to the basics n living in comfort... i will definitely choose comfort... :0)



Thank You for hopping by...Hope to see u again the next time..
