Correlation between price and quality: A less-than-accurate study

Salam..

Yes, I've actually conducted a study (well, sorta..more like surveying stuff over the net and from past experiences) regarding the topic above. And with 95% confidence I could say that the cheaper a product is, the less quality it possesses (At least that's what I think!).

Bummer.

Knowing me, I'd go for high quality products regardless of its price. But because I'm living in a high-cost country, and because I'm still a student, not to mention a poor one, obviously getting the best product would be an impossibility.

So it's either a good quality one or none at all. By the way, that statement made my dad furious.. I thought that I could get an exercise machine that costs 260 dollars but soon I had found out from a reliable source that a good elliptical machine would cost at least $1100. WHAT?! And that discovery was made just after my dad has transferred that 260 aud, having high hopes that I would lose weight again.

Ngaaa?? I wouldn't buy that thing just to keep my dad happy and use it only for 3 months, would I? Keep dad happy, waste 260 aud, keep 260 aud, keep dad happy. Aha!

Oh well.......I'm still thinking about it. Prolly I'll just continue going to the gym even though it'll be super hot. Plus, I'll be creating more attention, as always. Oh Tuhanku, aku terima je la nasibku dengan sabar dan redha..

Janganlah engkau keliru nak guna pathway yang mana satu (A slightly irrevantly named poem) :P

Sometimes I forget that Allah's always watching me
I try to show the best of me in front of others for His mercy
But when I'm alone I show my worst to Him
Without even realizing He's there
Isn't it unfair?

I am self-criticizing at this moment
I know I deserve worse punishment from Him
But O' Allah, I know you're the Most Forgiving
So please..please forgive my forgetfulness and stupidity (Ameen)
For I am just a thing made out of clay
Which needs to be reminded day by day

Allah...
When there is no one there is You
When I seek comfort I seek from You
You show me Love even when I don't deserve it
You shower me Your blessings even when I was ungrateful..
My God, it's hard to believe some people would not submit to You
When You have given them so much and ask for so little..

But it all happen by Your will, doesn't it?
After all, You are the Most Wise
And again, You remind me that to You I am nothing
There is no significance whatsoever of my doings
But because You love me, God,
You showed me the light
And it's up to me then to follow it
And I do, too, know
You can darken my path after it's been lit
So once again I beg for Your mercy
To shine Your light upon me and others eternally.
