Deal or No Deal?

Last night i accidentally stumbled into one of the local quiz tv show. Maybe you've heard of it..it's called "Deal or No Deal?". Then again maybe i'm asking the wrong question. The question should be : who never heard of "Deal or No Deal?"

You know that a tv show is a hit, when you see people use the phrases or slogan from the tv show into their daily talk. For example, my colleague in my old office was having a negotiation for his promotion with the HR Manager and then the HR Manager offered him a package that was substantially lower than he expected. You know what was his response? He yelled "No Deal!!"...along with the famous hand gestures mimicking the tv show.

Well the episode last night was the celebrity edition. There were Ariel from Peter Pan, Ferdy from Element and a bunch of other guys that i don't know. Obviously they all are in bands.

Ferdy was the one who got picked to play the quiz for some reason. He was playing quite well. I think in the end there were 5 cases left, with one case was valued of 1 Billion Rupiah. The 2 Billion Rupiah case was already gone. But he was still in a good position.

Fast forward to the end, Ferdy finally decided to accept the "bankers"offer for 240 something million rupiah, instead of going for the 1 Billion Rupiah case. Just like that, the rich is getting richer. He's getting 240 Million rupiah (well minus tax) just by gambling to choose some random cases.

Can you imagine what it feels like to win 2 Billion Rupiah? I can imagine it already. I will buy 1 house and 1 apt. For the ride i will purchase the new Honda Accord, fully loaded. I will allocate some for wedding, some for honeymoon to USA, and the rest of the money,which is still a lot, i will put it into savings and investments. Damn...that would be sweet.

Sweet but not real. The reality is i have nowhere near 2 Billion Rupiah and all of those fancy things that i mentioned above? I dont have them...yet...hehehe..notice the word yet. I will have to bust my butt to get them one at a time.

So i better get to sleep...have to get up early for work...this is part of the reality that i was talking about. Well at least i get to dream before waking up to the reality...:)
