I love My Family!

Photo065

Look at this photo. Look how happy they are. Almost everyday, you hear people complaining about this and that. Not enough money, Pay too low, Bonus too low, No job, Retrenchments etc. People always look for material gains. But they always forget about what is important. Family. In life, what’s most important? Is it the chasing after of the latest gadgets? A car? A private property? A dream job that pays a lot with minimum effort?

To me, This is what is important. My Family.  No matter how hard life is at work, how stress or how irritating, looking at this photo always brings a smile to my face.

This is why i say i am a lucky man, lucky to have an understanding wife behind me with my erratic work schedule. Lucky that my son is healthy and cute with lots of fun in every new day.

I love My Family, Do you love yours? If you do, tell them. You will make their day.

Today while i was off work, we went for lunch at Swensens  after Jaylen’s playgroup. From now till 30th June, lunch at weekdays between 11am to 2pm, there is a 1 for 1 promotion. Order anything from their A La Carte Menu and you get the cheaper of the 2 free!

Mrs Cheong ordered the Breaded Chicken ($13.90)

I ordered the Chicken and mushroom mayo pizza (Only because jaylen was crying for pizza)(Suppose to be $12.90 but its Free)

Photo103

Jaylen wanted this Beef Burger Set (Only because he saw the sweet corn in the menu)($6.50)

Not too bad. I must say that the chicken was very crispy, the pizza was nice and flavourful and the beef burger was juicy! Lunch for 3 of us at $24.01. Worth it to the max!
