Born with a Silver/Gold Spoon

We often hear the phrase "born with a silver spoon" to describe children born in wealthy families where they need not worry abt their basic needs and many of whom live a luxurious life. Call it jealousy or envy...but sometimes I wonder why life is unfair in this sense.

Recently a fren was telling me abt some fren's fren (yeah...such a distant relation) whose daughter married the son of a certain rich hotel owner in Singapore. The son, whom I will call Ah Sia Kia, is the director (in-name) in a couple of companies but need not actually work at all. All he needs to do is wait for his monthly and yearly director's fees. Although his dad's business is not as big as some others...just a few hotels and commercial buildings...Ah Sia Kia lives a life of luxury. So my fren's fren's fren's daughter who married Ah Sia Kia naturally need not work too. And her main responsibility is to follow her husband everywhere he goes. Of coz must follow lah...so rich, later get snatched how?!!! Keke...

So, while these rich pple put their names in companies as directors/shareholders and need not lift a finger to do any work for the companies, they get paid handsomely. How abt the rest of us who slog day and night for the companies??? We sound rather like the ox who toiled day and night for the farmer while the farmer rest under a tree...all the ox gets after a hard day's work is food, water and shelter...ok, sometimes a bath too :P

See how unfair life is??? ><
