4D

Song Lyrics
Rich Girl - Gwen Stefani





Mia is an average teenager studying in a polytechnic. She works part-time at MacDonalds earning five dollars an hour. Mia dont really need the money as her parents could afford her basic necessities like allowance food and transport, but she is quite a shopaholic and needs the extra income to fulfill her shopping desires.

One day Mia was walking along the corridor of her hdb flat when she stumble upon a piece of paper that looks like 4D slip. Out of curiosity she pick it up and look at the date and the draw date states today. Mia bought the slip of paper home without any hope of winning "why would anyone throw if it is the winning ticket" she puts it in on the coffee table and let it be. Few minutes later, her dad came home. Mia was in her bedroom when she suddenly hear her dad scream. She rushes out of her bedroom to see her dad holding the piece of 4D paper with trembling hands. Her dad uttered " Its the winning number! Its the winning number!" Mia was astound by her dads remarks and decide to check it personally. Indeed 1st price 10 million dollar!. " Dad we're rich! its a gift from the heaven!"

They both went to collect their price money and by then mom and little sister knew about it soon the whole neighborhood knew about their winning.

Days pass. Mia and family began living a wealthy lifestyle. Mia quit her job at MacDonalds and shop almost every single day. Her mom lavish on jewelry's , dad bought a new BMW and little sister doesn't really have any effect on her. She is after all to young to understand the value and power of money. And yes indeed money is powerful, it can get you up but it can also send you tumbling down. With lots of money, Mia parents quit their jobs as the think their money could last them a lifetime. Mia began to skip lessons and her grades are falling drastically. Mia spend most of her time in shopping malls indulging in luxurious goods and wining and dining at expensive hotels without realizing that their money is decreasing day by day.

Mia parents became arrogant as they knew they are rich. They look down on their neighbors and brag that they will leave this filthy pigeon hole and move to a 3 story bungalow. Mia and her parents began to have enemies. Many neighbors hated them because of the way they acted, bossy and cocky. Months pass, Mia and family began to realize their money are slowly decreasing to non. They began to argue about finance blaming each other for not controlling the situation. Till a point that they don't even have money to buy rice because non of them are employed. They resorted to borrowing money and food stuffs from the neighbors. Some are willing to help but some shutting doors right on their face. Every night they quarrel over the same matter over and over again. Mia look at the condition of her family, her parents were shouting, vases are being thrown against the wall. Mia couldn't take i she cover her ears shuts her eyes and screech as loud as she could.

Suddenly all went quite. She open her eyes to see herself back at the corridor when she 1st saw the slip of 4D paper. She began to get confuse. She pick up the slip of paper and was flabbergasted to see the same slip of paper she found the other day. Check her watch to see the date and time and realize she went back in time to the day she won the money. Mia stare at the slip of paper long enough, look across and saw an old ragged women, her neighbor who lives alone at end of the corridor and walk towards her. " Ah Mah today is your lucky day, use it wisely"
