Ya, inilah realiti kehidupan kita dalam zaman yang serba serbinya nak duit. Kita ukur kebahagian kita dengan duit. Bila kita cuba lari dari realiti ini sekarang, kita jadi agak tertekan, stress dan tension sebab orang-orang sekeliling kita tak kisah dengan benda-benda macam ni. Biasanya bos-bos ler.. Dah kau kerja dgn dia, kau makan gaji.. Itu la payahnya.. He expect you to work normal hour 8 am - 5 pm to meet you customer, 5 pm - 8 pm to answer his call, 8pm to 5 am to communicate with you European colleague and continue the cycle everyday.. Kau kena keja walau pun kau tgh cuti sbb dia tak cuti.. dan macam2 lagi.. And you going to lose your time with your children bro..
Anyway, to me, this song is a great reminder. You know your kids going to be like you. If we fail to spare them some times now, they might have no time for us later too.
Anyway, enjoy the song dude...
