ooo it's saturday morning (10 mins to sat afternoon)
i'm dreaming of a white christmas
just like the ones i used to know
where the treetops glisten
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snowjust attempted to play some christmas songs!
hee. had a weird dream last night. again. of me sitting in front of my piano. the sound-reducing pedal spoilt and i had no choice but to play without it.
subconsciousness is telling me to be more confident of myself! haha. what's there to be afraid of? not much really, come to think of it.

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.

just spent some quality time with my mummy. ^^
we talked about daddy.. who's away at dubai for a week till saturday. we talked about his career, about how he trusts so readily and gets made use of because of his soft heart and generosity. about how even those close to him can step all over him.
no wonder you're always telling me to be assertive and fight for my rights daddy. though you're rather harsh in your methods sometimes.
i love you daddy. i know you're working very hard for us. that you've had to deal with so much injusice. yet you stay true to your values.. you rock ^^ and why don't you ever tell me you love me too and that you're proud of me??! grrr :((((...countdown to wkend: 5 days
had a yummy lunch with mama, uncle pat, angie and mummy :D at a jap restaurant called new gama or something. good food and not too expensive! i love black sesame ice cream! :D while eating some really nice songs were playing. all the soppy love songs hahaha. if you're not the one, all the love in the world, there you'd be, sometimes when we touch... argh. i marvel (in a negative way) at the silliness of such songs and yet i enjoy listening to them so much. yea the many contradictions that exist in me do confound me too.
songs of the moment. thinking back.. jay chou songs make me reminisce about studying in YJC. i kinda miss those days. of studying quietly at the study area and playing the piano for wei ling and having the teachers care so much about whether you do your homework. and the basketball training days. ^^ i wasn't really close to many of you, but i still miss being in the team. ^^ if you're not the one and several pop songs reminds me of my st nicks days. with ellen, yingqing, jing yi and charleen.. and audition songs definitely remind me of sbf and the days where we actually had the time to play tgt almost 24/7! :D:D
i wonder what my songs of the moment are!
