لا تعد فلوسك
May 14, 2008 by 7san
- El-3edeya was our yearly gift. Every year we know that on this particular day we will be getting some good amount of money. We usually ask our cousins; “Ha cham 7salt?” or “La ana 7salt wayed akthar”, wela “yadi 36ani wayed!”. My father used to always make sure that I do not do that. He even told me once; “لا تعد فلوسك. اللي يعد فلوسه، فلوسه تنقص” I never got what he meant and continued counting my money! Until one day! I counted my money and they were less!! I was shocked?! My father was right! I stopped counting since then. I later knew what he meant. If you constantly count your money you would make an error, gas 3laina il walid y3ni. But I liked what he said. Will use it with my future son one day nshala. Actually his grandfather will tell him nshala!
- Today, I had to do that. Count my money! Its the time of the year. From september, I start collecting all the coins I have. 0.20 and anything below. I just finished counting and organizing them. I have 41kd in coins! I will go tomorrow to the bank and exchange them for cash!
u said ‘7bait il b7rain wala’.. what do you mean? did u come to bahrain? lol
I love collecting the coins. It’s so easy since they make the wallet happy and you just want to dump them out;p
missy: No, I will be coming soon though. But I think its the only country that a3lenaw: “El-7edad El-rasmi for one day. Plus their king used to admire Al-shaikh jabir a lot. But mostly because of el7edad.
Amethyst: I do not like them in the wallet actually! My cousin kil mayshof il coins 3nde he goes like: OLA CHAM KAKAW NEGDAR NESHTERE?!

i liked what he said, it has deep meanings.
i’m always short of coins. i use them a lot for the buses :|

oh and about the 3eedeeya thing… my dad used to tell me to never ever ask what the other kids had… although I always had more because my dad was always the most generous… :D

when my sister was a little girl she used to refuse 3eidiya and say no thanks omy o oboy 3a6ony… and you know when they say history repeat itself.. one of her kids said that exact thing a couple of years ago LOL
loo 3ad ile yshofik dash ygol woow he’s gonna deposit so much money, but then they’ll be disappointed to know that it’s just coins:p but still 42 kd in coins, thats pretty good:P
I was told not to count my money by my dad as well. I never count them anymore;p
i agree with what u said 1000000% when u have money and dont bother counting keepin ur balance recorded u find urself with good sums of money.. but once u start to keep track of ur spending u end up havin nuthin!
wala lama knit ma a7seb cham fe 7saby i used to have wayed ib ma3ashy le wagt elma3ash elyay.. lakin min bidet athabit.. bidet afalis min ma3ash le ma3ash sert ;p
