What Love Means to 4 - 8 year olds

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouths of babes. What does 'Love' mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does 'love' mean?'The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

When there is nothing left, that is when you find out that love is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot!

Cool Monday ^_^

I went to work in the morning but took half day 'Emergency Leave' to send the car to the workshop. Tommy came over to my place and jump start the car and charge the battery for half an hour before driving to Taman Mayang. Unfortunately, my car couldn't last that far and got stuck at Kelana Jaya Medical Center =.= I had no choice but call the mechanic and see what they can do to help me. They send a mechanic who put in another battery for me to drive to the workshop. I was then told the altenator have to be replace =.=

I left my car in the workshop to be fix while I follow Tommy around. So called leave but see how Tommy's work is like. First we head off to Kepong where he drop me at Mr DIY to shop =.= Yes, it is a nice place to shop for things are nice and cheap but it killed my wallet as I was so tempted to buy close to everything in the shop =.= Tommy then went back to his office to collect things and meet me back in the store.

Once I have paid the bill, we went off the Petronas to pump NGV. He showed me his style of driving to the Petronas which is slowly eat other peoples lane (opposite traffic somemore) to enter the petrol station. We then had to queue for our turn. Once that is settle, we head off to Phileo Damansara where Tommy needs to drop off or collect some documents =.= Ya, he is happy being known as the office boy when he is the Project Manager =.= I happily waited in the car listening to BackstreetBoys and nice air-con ^_^

When he came back, we head off to Klang. My goodness!!! He overtook at a curve entering NKVE =.= I sat so straight at that time for it was scary =.= He then drove like 160km/h down to Klang and challenging a Volvo who eventually beat him. But the coolest part is, that Volvo slowed down then after the toll suddenly cut us from the left and disappear to the left exit =.= No comment for that. Once we reach Klang, Tommy showed me the 'curi ayam' way to where he is going. We past the pasar malam and I was hungry as I didn't had anything for breakfast AND lunch.

Finally we reach the destination and Tommy went and settle his work. I happily sat in the car again having the air-con and music to relax ^_^ When he was done, Bah Kut Teh ^_^ I have been waiting to eat Klang Bah Kut Teh for so long ^_^ Finally get to eat and my first meal of the day ^_^ The tea was good as the xifu (who is Tommy himself) prepare the tea with style ^_^ Hahaha... Was a good meal before heading back to Sunway to pick Jared and go Pyramid for round 2 in Gasoline.

While driving back, Tommy decided to give me a roller coaster ride where I scream twice (worst part is I'm on the phone with Jared and I'm sorry Jared for indirectly screaming to your ears). He then went to the opposite traffic to make a right turn under a flyover =.= Luckily we reach back Sunway safely and pick Jared. We had fun playing PPP (Para Para Paradise) after dinner especially when Jared played against Tommy ^_^

We didn't stay long there as I need to get to my cousin's place to help her with her internet issue =.= Have to thank Tommy for driving me there and waited for me till I'm done and drive me home ^_^ Hahhaa... But he played 20 rounds of Freecell on my cousin't laptop while I was chatting with her =.=

Labour Day Eve

What a day I had =.= Let's say it was good and bad ^_^ Bad is, my car broke down and cannot start. It seems the battery is flat and doesn't charge =.= So happen I manage to drive home from work and stop at the petrol station to refil my petrol. Right after that, as Tommy predicted, car cannot start =.= But lucky he came to the rescue but it seems short live as after charging the battery for 10 mins, it only last me to my house =.= Will have to take it to workshop but not sure how =.=

Ok, now to the good and exciting part of the evening. Me, Stephie and Tommy got ready to go to MOS as there was an event there. This time we took our time as it was Ladies night so Tommy would have to pay to enter. We got ready and went to Gasoline for dinner. Then we head off to MOS but to our surprise, it was pack. We went in to queue and it was so so so long =.= Then Tommy's sei lai (Fourth wife) walk pass and he asked her to take me and Stephie in first while he queue outside.

Me and Stephie went in and waited for Tommy. There were many people inside but no one dancing yet. So we waited for Tommy. Tommy then message me to tell me he might not get in and asked me and Stephie to enjoy ourselves as I message him to tell him that the second floor to the bridge is open that night. But in the end, I went out and found that he was still not even in the middle of the queue still. It was s quick decision to change location as Stephie's friends are in Santuary, The Curve. It was like a 1 minute decision and we head off to our new location. I then called Roger and Mary to ask them to join us. They agreed.

Roger doing his jump when we are heading back ^_^

Then the five of us head of to a fun night. Umm...I think it is a fun night as I had fun. We ordered 2 jug of beer where Roger asked me to down with him the beer. I down 2 glasses and i was very high. Normally my hand would feel different when I am high. But I was not satisfied so I ordered a glass of Black Label where Tommy stole half of it =.= But I down the rest of the Black Label due to Roger's dare =.= After that, I was confirm high and was having fun and dancing through the night.

Tommy hiding from the camera =.=

It was about 2+am when we sat outside a while before going home. We took some candid shots before leaving. Tommy lead the way but to a way where the door is locked =.= and we have to walk all the way down to where we initially were. I'm surprise that I can still walk straight ^_^ But all I know, I KO in the car. I do not know when Roger and Mary went home. All I know Tommy wake me up to say he can't open the gate =.= So I open the gate and went in. Hahaha... but once back home, I'm wide awake. Hahaha... Only slept a while at 6.30am till 7am where I need to pack and go to catch my bus.

I had to wake Tommy to send me to catch the bus. He then drop me off before going back to sleep more. As for me, I ate my Subway breakfast on the bus and slept all the way home ^_^ But I woke up when reaching Penang. Had lunch there in Penang and shop for a new pair of jeans before going home ^_^
