Bullock Cart


Have not written anything in English for quite a while, so I guess it's only right that this entry is in English.

A couple of my friends are thinking of buying cars and asked me for my opinion.

So I gave them this idea.

Buy two calves and a bullock cart (or build/make one). Why?

1) No down payment is necessary - you can save money here.
2) No monthly installments - more money saved.
3) No extra expenditure for petrol - just buy hay, or let the calves graze freely - even more money saved here given the fact that the price of petrol is only ever increasing.

Keep commuting to work using the bullock cart for a few years. Once the calves have turned into cows/bulls. Sell them or better still, wait till it's Raya Korban.

So instead of losing money, you're gaining money. By now, all the money saved since the beginning of the bullock cart deal + the money you get from selling the cows/bulls may be used to buy a car or anything else that your heart desires.

Whaddaya think? Berani cuba?
