disconnected connections

Hey, anyone heard of or remembered the story about a little kid trying to 'buy' her father's time? Ya, it goes something about a girl longing to see her busy father attending her school's concert. Like said, the father is always busy for work, for money. The girl understood the father's responsibilities, but so much wanted just 2 hours of his time attending her performance. And so she paid her father few hundred bucks and made him coming to the concert instead of at work. 

Ending / Moral of the story? Go and ask google. If I continue the story telling, people may be bored to a saddening death. 

----------------------

And so, I am very very happy today. It is a good good feeling when precious time is spent with your loved one. There are just some moment when you need to disconnect, in order to be connected again. 

How I loved the trip to Titi Jelebu (where Dad was singing like no one's business) and so did the data lines, phone lines, whatever lines are finally resting in peace. That was the place and time when we really talked. Nonsense or otherwise, not applicable. That was when we really belonged to each other. That was happiness and togetherness.  

Yes, we often forget reality when happiness is in concern. We need to work because we need monies. Minions too need to work for bananas *huh?!? 

Okay, I mean quality time. Not quantifying  it by day or month or year. See, that little girl just needed 2 hours. And after the father really did spent 2 hours with her.....the world didn't stop, the family didn't die of hunger, he didn't go bankrupt and the mother could still afford another Prada for xmas! *okayssss the prada was just to add spice. 

No one can really be super rich. And those special moment is the essence to get things going so you can really be super damn rich. Believe me. More often than not, special moments don't cost you too much. In fact, simplicity works best. 

Try it out. Go cross the calendar now. Show your darling that those depicts Dating Day/Couple Day/Darling Day...just name it. And just try, put down your work awhile, shoulder down and relax...and be yourself again. Enjoy the moment of happiness. Rejoice the moment of togetherness. 

It's worth it. Better than your pay-slip. *wink
