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 and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

~ Monday, September 08, 2008 ~
Finally had a good hairdo. Been so frustrated lately, probably due to the weather, my hair, and the fats. So just do away with that long and messy hair, which Meimei termed it as "grass". Feel so fresh again! :)

Took a half day leave intention for the abovementioned. As I was on my way home, I was kinda lost. So many things I was pondering on. So many events and questions running through my mind. What do I want in life? First thing that came into my mind was career. What is it that I want to do? Am I happy working as a HR person? What is it that would really excite me when we talk about work? I feel so aimless once again. Frankly speaking, I really hate to be trapped inside an office 24/7, doing paper work and stuffs like that. I do enjoy talking to people, yet not too many. I'd prefer one to one. I like to learn about different kinda people. In fact, I would be really happy if I can get compliments by my excellent service. Perhaps I should be in the service line, instead of doing a 9-5 routine job. Fortunately, here in my current work place is not so much of routine as compared to my previous employment. At least I do meet challenges, I do meet different levels of human. Still, being tied up in the office is rather boring. And Arians do get bored easily. Arians needed to be recognised for good work done. Arians need plenty of challenges and high targets to be achieved. That's our motivation I guessed. Kinda sad that I couldn't find all of the above most of the times. This is the time when I begin to reconsider, should I continue doing HR, or changing a new industry can trigger my motivation towards work. Something is wrong somewhere. So demoralising. I hate the feeling. I'm not young anymore. Yet I'm not doing what I'm capable of.
