T i M e!
A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?!" pleaded the little boy. "If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"
The father was furious. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some 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're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 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 my aggravation out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.
"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?" Share these stories with someone you like..........but even better, share $20.00 worth of time with someone you love...........just a short reminder to all of us working so hard for our living. However, let us not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some quality time with those who really matter to us.
Best gak copy n paste nih, ek?

Penat sungguh. Hari khamis, lepas setelkan markah student, aku drive ke BP. Sampai kul 4.30pm. Ari jumaat, lepak kat umah. Malam ikut dia gi padang, lawan bola. Final. Yeaaa dia menang, 3-2. Walau bukan dia yang golkan, ada gak sumbangan kaki dia pada jaringan tuh. semalam, aku drive balik dungun semula. Dari rumah kul 1, sampai kul 8.30. Hujan lebat sepanjang jln. Tak nampak jalan nak motong lori, tu yg lambat tuh. Ari ni, keje, tapi .... malasnya. Pagi, amik skrip jawapan, nak marking...nape 28 org je yg amik exam? mana lagi sorang???????

Waaaaa da 6 bulan lbe aku x update. Terlalu banyak benda da berlaku. Tapi yang paling besar ialah... aku dah menamatkan zaman bujang ku pada 25 Disember 2004. Majlis persandingan pada 19 Februari 2005 dan bertandang pada 13 Mac 2005. Huh! Baru lah lega. Takyah pikir kumpul duit nak kawin. Target sekarang, nak buat master. Kete dan rumah, tolak ketepi dulu. Selagi tak stable, aku tak nak bebankan diri dengan hutang yg menimbun. PTPTPu pun da memanggil2. Insya Allah bulan ni aku stat bayar loan. Isi rumah boleh dikatakan complete. Semuanya hasil ikat perut aku yg hampir stahun dulu.
Last week, baru beli decoder stesen berbayar. Boring gak asik tgk vcd, dvd. Reception hampeh kat bawah bukit, sumer siaran tv blur je. Hujan baru terang sket. Tapi bukan la trg sgt. Actually, bukan aku beli decoder tu, husband yang tak malu yg mintak hadiah kat kekawan sempena kitorang. Sibbaik tgh murah, member pun sanggup la belikan. Kalau Putera Charles, lain plak. Dia taknak rakyat bagi adiah masa dia kawin ngan camelia. Takyah la buang duit kat dia. Eh, pening laks....
