Bicycle
My bicycle has been giving me problem. A fortnight ago, my bicycle gear broke down whilst i was rushing to the lecture hall. The 7-whatever rubbish gear costs me RM 20. And today, the chain snapped and not only that, my gear spring got entangled and eventually gave way. Drove 16km away from my uni to repair it and the repair cost me another RM 30. That's within 2 weeks and RM 50 was spent on my bicycle. It's almost like maintaining a car and considering my bicycle is only 4 month's old, it's pretty troublesome and burning a hole in my pocket.

Money and Hapiness
A man came home from work late, 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 do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. Why do 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 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"
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 work long hard hours everyday and don't have time for such this childish behaviour. 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: He may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 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 $10 you asked for," he added.
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, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, 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 $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you".
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.

I'll Be Missing You
Leon placed his head on Cliff's chest.
Cliff: It's just 2 weeks, ill see you soon okay?
Leon's emotional dam was about to break, all he wanted to do was to remain in Cliff's presence.

G Tower
A week ago, i was invited to have lunch at G Tower. Headed all the way to Ampang Park and got a free valet parking. Took a lift to level 28 and was directed to bridge tower,situated just next to Tanzini's. The person who manages G Tower was waiting for me and when i got seated in his private pub, he called 2 waiters. Ordered the best fish and chips together with freshly peeled orange juice, followed by an italian dessert- some mango custard thing. Later, he showed me around the tower and explained why G Tower is known as a green building. Went home after that.

He Doesnt Care How Much He Spends On Me
Cliff: Hey, wanna follow me to Empire mall?
Leon: Sure, let's go.
Cliff then headed to dude and duchess as some crazy sales and markdowns were being held there. Bought a few shirts and then Cliff looked at Leon.
Cliff: Anything you want for yourself?
Leon: Nah, you've spent a lot for the previous months
Regardless of his financial deficit, he took some clothes for Leon to try on. Ended up, he bought Leon some shirts as a gift.

First shirt


2nd shirt

Earlier, both of them had an argument which sparks off due to Leon's impatient attitude. Regretted about his actions, he apologized to Cliff and after Cliff kissed Leon, they parted

Sweet!
Cliff handed Leon a bag of Garrett's popcorn.
Cliff: Queued up for 20 minutes plus to get you this!
Leon: Thanks dear, it's my first time tasting it
Cliff: *smiled and drove off*
The popcorn did taste extra sweet than the usual!

Price Tag?
What on earth is a pair of levi's jeans doing outside my front gate; thought Leon as he stumbled upon a black package whilst opening the gate.
He quickly picked it up and after 10 minutes approximately, he received a text message saying " Hope you like it, and i left it there as i know that you wouldnt have time to meet up...... you and your studies, pretty busy huh?*smile face*"
It was a text message from Leon's ex.
"What the heck" was Leon's 1st impression. Is he trying to put a price tag on me and just buying me back by showering me with gifts;thought Leon. Towards the end of last year, Leon's ex bought him a chronology watch and it wasnt cheap...then the EX wanted to buy him the latest iphone.
Leon rejected both of the earlier gifts from that sugardaddy as to Leon, receiving gift from a "stranger" (mere acquaintance" is seemingly wrong.
Go buy some Thai boys instead of me old hag, thought Leon to himself..
