After waiting for 9 long months, his princess is finally here.

The moment her little fingers pressed against his palm, she’ll always have the power to twist him around her little finger.

Holding her hand, reassuring her on her first day of school.

Staying with her when she ask you to help her choose colours for her colouring homework.

Trusting her with your car when she finally got her driving license.

Rushing home everyday to catch a glimpse of her before sleeping.

Laughing at all the jokes and silly things she does.

Giving her anything she desires.

 

Watching her go off to Uni. Bringing back her boyfriend to you. Throwing the poor guy the ‘I-am-watching-you’ look.

Worrying for her when she come home late.

Attending her graduation. Feeling proud of her.

Seeing her struggle with the transition to work life.

Up till then, she always know you will always be there for her.

 

Suddenly, things changed.

It is no longer the same. For you have no longer know how to talk to your little girl anymore.

She has different priority in life, perhaps, so have you.

He wonders : Is she still his little girl? Or somebody else’s girl?

She wonders : Am I still important to dad? Does daddy still care?

She stops holding daddy’s hand. perhaps he won’t like it.

He stops holding her hand. She needs to be independent and grow up.

 

Now,

Father and Daughter standing together. Silence. Not knowing how to talk to each other any more.

Once, she would have told him everything. Once, he would have listen with a smile.

Yes Master…

Labor law defines emploment as master servant relationship in many countries.

In the older day, employee are loyal and faithful. Many books wrote how servants serve their master even when they receive no pay. However it is commonly observed that employee today no longer display such valued characteristic.

Many are willing to switch Master even with the offer of little increment (sometimes for even as little as USD 1/day). Personally, I have nothing against looking for better opportunity. But, I believe that it should be done with dignity and intregicity. In many cases, some of these employee were offered the better pay due to leaking secret information to their Master’s competitor. OR, in some cases, stealing the company’s client and bringing them to another place.

Some employee took advantage of the labor law (which was there to protect them) to sqeeze their master for more. They are the expert of the law and will find loop holes and use it to force their boss to act. it is common to hear of terms suh as unfairly dismissal or constructive dismissal.

 When the employee sues the company, many times, they company will just pay them 3 – 6 months salary to settle out of court. I have heard one case where the employee who was the purchaser, start a company to sell goods to his Master’s company. When the company management found out of these, they request he resign in return of not bringing charges to him. What did this guy do? He smartly file for constructive dismissal and was awarded back pay and compensation close to millions !! Sad isn’t it?

And people wonder why some companies are so mean and no longer wants to display any kindness to the employee. Perhaps we (the servant) should ask ourself first if we are taking our job and responsibility seriously. Performing it with intregrity and serving our boss with loyalty.

Story One:

Chulet’s best-mate from her childhood years recently got proposed over romantic dinner during their trip to singapore to see the F1. It was a total suprise for her as she thought it was just a dinner outing to celebrate her birthday. Birthday cake has a cute racoon on top of it. VERY very cute. (as Chulet was not there – no pictures here). So, it was like a double suprise when her soul-mate whipped out a diamond ring and proposed to her ! She say YES. of course. 🙂

Story Two:

He arranged with her family to meet in Bali for holiday. She happily went along to enjoy the holiday. On the day of the proposal, they went for hiking, biking and etc around the Bali island. Went back to their hotel to shower. She was too tired to care about her dressing (thinking that it would just be casual dinner with her family). Little does she knows, he arrange for dinner in a nice posh hotel.. The waiter show them to the back of the restaurant where she saw a long jetty leading out to the sea. along the jetty lighted with candles and a man playing the violin. On the table, there was a microscope. He told her to look inside. YES – it was a ring.

Story Three:

He ganged-up with all the children from the sunday school (she’s a sunday school teacher). It was Christmas. After church service, the children dragged her to the first room. She found a figurine with a card. Card gives clue to the next treasure. There was about 5 treasure before she come into the room with him (and her family + the children too). He recite a long long long speech.. (hehehee) with a nice Ring (of coz..) and she say YES (of course..)

Story Four:

He took her back to the first restaurant where they had their first date. Stroll along the river where they went after their first date. She went along eventough she wanted to just go home and sleep. Halfway, he went on his knee, took out the ring and proposed. (There was no one along the river then. quite late at night. Oh wait. He mentioned that there was a garbage collector doing his round then. hahaha..) She say yes. (No – this is not the end of the story yet). He jumped with joy and whipped out 2 air-ticket to Sydney (they are in Melbourne). They left for a short mini-break the next day. :p

Story Five:

He took her to climb the Mount Kinabalu (or Mount KK, so fondly known by the Malaysians..) It is considerable high. So, when they reach the higest peak. She was tired and cold. He tooked out the ring to propose to her. She was tired no more. 🙂

Story Six:

He googled to ‘how to proposed’ and learn everything he can. He went to the jewellery store and asked for ring. Went to airport to picked her up. After she reach her home, he went on his knee and ask her to marry him. He open the box and she pushed him away and say NOoo.. (you see, he asked for a ring. But, he didn’t specify what Ring. So, the sales person show him the wedding bands) When she saw 2 rings – she thought he propose with earrings ! Anyway, the confusion aside, it was a joking NO.. and she say YES later when she learn of his mistake. hehhe.

That’s all for now.

Enjoy.
