Very meaningful, do reflect

Got this in an email, wana share with you guyz....cos it's really meaningful and make us reflect on our current work life..



Can I Borrow $25?


A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily. SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often

The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. 'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.
'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled. 'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.' The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.



with this, i made my decision, once time has past, it will never come back, I've missed part of it, miss spending quality time with my family. I do not want to regret only when they are no longer here with me....

Vietnam Coffee!!

wonder if any of you tried...
saw this drink while having a coffee appointment..

so interesting...
they serve the coffee to you like that in the cute little aluminium thingy, and the hot water in the white jar.

New Found Beauty!!!

finally went for Eyelash Extension!

has been using false eyelashes for a long time...but decided to try extension for a change.
One bad things about false eyelashes is, when u remove it, it's gone! ur eyes look so bare and naked suddenly!

whereas with extension, it sorta stays there day and night and for weeks! but really gotta take ultra good care of it to ensure it last for as long as possible.

tadah....mei mei mah????
maybe on photo can't really tell the difference between falsies and extended eyelash..
wait till u see it in person ok..

so sweet.......

let's look down..

wow..so thick!!!

i absoutely love my new lashes....imagine now is go to bed mei mei..wake up also mei mei!! with the extended lashes, u can do without Eye make up!

look how it gave me the double eyelids!!

mum even asked " u never remove ur lashes before u slp ar??" lol..

and of cos since so mei mei....Drea gotta be more vain n take more photos...hahah

ok lar..i know super act cute n disgusting...

but i like can!!?? take many many shots while it last!!!

ooh anor good news...for myself..remember i was like going on this dieting thingy?

lost 5 kg the 1st mth right? till date i lost a total of 10kg!! woohoo!! 3 inches off my waist...

here's a photo..

see the difference? alright this dress made me look slimmer also lar..keke..

but i ish happy..2 more kg and i will try my best to maintain the weight...

ok..save ur comments till de nxt time u see me ya..!!!

took day off to bring tabbie for his annual jab...

look at how cheeky he look!

he thought he is going for gai gai....was sooooooooo happy!

and then once he was placed on the vet's metal table, he became so tame! want to bao bao immediately..LOL

he never like us to carry him and always got how far run damn far away...first time see him looking so timid..it was kind of funny..

ok, funny n a little soft hearted at the same time seeing him like that..

been so long since we took a photo together...ah tab probably miss me sooooo much!

and hey, last week was at one place and so this notice...just find it pretty humorous...hee

"working very hard.." LOL...

lil apple's new horn!!!

yeah! finally got a new , louder horn for little apple..
those who've heard lil apple's stock horn before would have agreed that it sounded like a little cute beep...
and to make things worse even when i press on the horn at other cars or taxis, they happily ignored me!!!

Lil Apple felt so insulted can!!!

so.........TADAH!!

Work in progress..hee...
thanks to a really helpful person! or in fact, the whole group of them! ! who offered to change my horn for me...and offered lotsa advices..etc

and of cos questions like " eh actually how u drive ur car ar?" *points to all those scratches n damages.*

i didn't know it was such a difficult job! got to remove your bumper and all..and to make things worse,

when they open up de bonnet..it was full of dust and dirt!

Guy: " when was de last time you washed your car?"
Drea: " erm you mean de exterior part or this part inside?"
Guy: "ya this part inside"
Drea: " oh..i din know need to clean inside also..so never been washed loh!"

FAinted! buaahaha..


ok really paiseh cos people help me fix the horn and my car was so super duper dirty, making his hands black as charcoal...and to make things worse, my fender and bumper was out of shape cos of this minor accident i had when i juz got lil red apple.

they managed to remove the bumper but has a difficulty putting it back after that...and hey! they managed to put de bumper back and it looked so much better than the original dented one!!

anyway, still have to bring lil apple to fix cos they were saying that part of de engine inside is starting to rust already..think i gotta get it fix before all of de engine start to RUST!!!

wow if they didn't help me change horn today, i probably won't know!

hee..then i got something else too!!

someone gave me his light! this row of bulbs, which is of white light and so much brighter, duno if it's like those HID or sth...
ya comes with installation too! hee..changed my internal light for me..hee...so nicee!!!

thank you so muchie!!!!!!!

does any of you still have extra items which u all dun need ...???!??? LOL...okok just joking!
