DREAMS. HOPE. FAMILY

i seriously think my mum should stop freaking out when shes sitting beside me in the car.. like seriously stop freaking out! she freaks out at the slightest thing..whenever i make a turn or i'm changing lanes. the worst is when i'm parking the car la!! gosh. its only my second day driving the car. thank god YS was there or i think i might just scream my head off at her. too bad dad went back to china alr.. i prefer him sitting beside me in the car )):

anyway my newest tv addiction got to be EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION. in each episode, ty pennington and a group of designers help a family to rebuild their entire house in a week. these families are no ordinary families. they are families that had faced some sort of recent or ongoing hardship – such as a natural disaster or a family member with a life-threatening illness.

theres this episode which truly touched my heart, and i'm pretty sure will touched all your hearts too. its so heartwarming that it will definitely moved you to tears. meet the Kadzis family. in this episode, ty pennington and the group of designers helped to fulfill a dying man's last wish. George Kadzis is no ordinary man. in the eyes of everybody, he is a hero. George and his wife adopts children with special needs to give them a better life. Unfortunately, George was diagnosed with brain cancer and had only a few months to leave. this left the father of 7 children fighting for his own future and desperate to secure his family. his last wish was to rebulit his home after it was destroyed by a hurricane so that his family will be able to leave in a safe and secure home where they will continue to grow and prosper after he dies. one day before the crew came to surprise the family, George was admitted to the hospital. and three days after the new house was built, he passed away. though he was not able to see the new house, at least he knew that his family was in safe hands. look out for the performance by stevie wonder at the end of the episode.

one episode which i strongly recommend. i posted three parts of the show. watch the rest of it from youtube. click the high quality button for clearer view and prepare tissues!!
