Have we taken our parents for granted?

This evening I saw my neighbour, an old man in his mid 50s, cleaning and washing 2 of his cars. I had mix feelings for him as I can see how much a father loves his children and how much his children took him for granted. Every week, he faithfully washes the cars that are frequently driven by his 2 teenage children. I believe he services the cars, pump gas into it to keep it running and also keeping the cars clean. Every now and then I see his children taking out the cars with their bunch of friends to go for a jolly ride but leaving their father to pick up the bill and hassle of keeping the car in tip top condition. Every week, I will see this old man sacrificing for his children without complain.

Indeed our parents love for us is unconditional. With their sweat from their brow, they toiled to put food on the table and to keep their children's needs are met. Some of us may not be financially ready yet to help out parents but the least we can do is to lighten their burden in anyway and be sensitive towards their feelings.

In the Quran, it is clearly stated as one the commandments to honour our parents as long as we live. Parents are to be treated equally with kindness and humility. As we reflect, our days with our parents are numbered and when they are no longer with us, it is too late for us to turn back time to show our love and appreciation.

Therefore I besiege all of you and even myself to start to take our parents seriously. We can show our appreciation to them in many ways and to tell them that they are always important to us. Honouring them does not only earn us reward in heaven but also strengthen the bond between us and our parents.

I hope one day the children of the old man will come to their senses on how much love and sacrifice their parents has poured out to them and to return their love before it's too late to regret.

Shopping Spree

On 17 May 2011 from 9am to 12pm, Robinsons The Gardens, Mid Valley had a 3-hour sale. It was a haven for both men and women. There are enticing discounts for men's shoes, clothes and wallets. While for women, there discounts for handbags, purse, shoes and jewelries. There are also discounts for kids clothings, baby stuffs and also some household products. Most women love handbags and shoes and I wouldn't want to miss out on this. I brought a friend along and he had a good time shopping too.

I headed for the handbags and purse section as I wanted to get one. Branded handbags such as Guess, CK, CK Jeans, Sisley, Valentino Rudy, Pierre Cardin, DKNY, United Colors Of Benetton and many more were on discount up to 70%. I managed to get myself a United Colors Of Benetton purse for RM84 and a Guess handbag for RM180. My friend managed to buy 2 collar T-shirts by Ashworth for RM50 and Renoma for RM36.

We were there at 10am and the place was packed with people. How do I find out the sales? From http://www.shoppingnsales.com/. Well, anyone of you who loves good bargains, Robinsons Sale is not to be missed.

P/S: Psstt... The Levis jeans wasn't from Robinsons. You can get a pair at good deal at Wangsa Walk, Levis Factory Outlet. They shifted from Carrefour, Wangsa Maju.
