A certain man's strongest words on the 4th of January, 10:40am:
"What have you done to earn the right to be sitting on this chair?"
"Nothing"
"Then why the arrogance written all over your face? It's not like you wanted to be here. I've been to other countries where kids are starving everyday , and you are here worrying what to eat. Look at these kids, if i told them hey you have a chance go to singapore to study, they would all raise their hands immediately. You have what they can only dream of. What you complain of that your parents give you, they can only dream about it. Tell me, who finds their parents annoying? When they nag and nag at you like a crow, squak squak all day long?"
*Whole room quietens,people tearing already*
"Who finds your parents annoying when they ask a lot of questions ? Now think. Did they find you annoying when you were a small little kid, asking them stupid questions everyday? No. Did they find you annoying when you played with the things they have? No. Who was there, when you were learning to walk and talk? Who was there when you spoke your first word, and your first fall? When you made a mess of everything, they would still clean up after you, still loving you. Now they make a small mistake and you raise your voice at them. Did they deserve that?!? You all think, teenagers. All the freedom and independance in the world. I should have this, i should have that. But who are you without your parents? Now think about this. Your mother carried you for nine months. She first found out she was pregnant, and was very happy. But as her tummy grew bigger, she found it hard to move because you became heavier.Her ankles swelled, she would get morning sickness. Her food, who does it go to first? You! Did you know, as you grow stronger , she becomes weaker? The calcium in your bones come from hers, that's why mothers have to take in more milk to balance for you. The humiliation of being checked by a doctor , just to see if you are okay. The pain of giving birth to you, to see you healthy. Did she ever complain for all the pain you caused her? Never in the intention of hate. And here you are, shouting at her. Remember, when you were small. You couldn't go anywhere without them, you always wanted to go out with them. Now you don't want to see them outside when you go out with your friends. They gave you the world, you give them your attitude. They nag because they are maybe the only few people who care enough to!Your father comes home after a long day at work. He is tired, moody and grumpy. And you make it worse for him by showing him even more your rubbish. He wants to sit down with you and the family for a dinner, but you are in your room eating infront of the computer. He wants to spend time with you, yet you find him an eyesore. When you are out, bothof you are using your handphones, not talking. What parent and child relationship?"
*People in the room is crying hard already*
Your parents are candles, the light to the darkness in your life. They hold your hand, guiding you through, making sure you get something. That when they no longer can burn, you will be able to burn for them, for the family, for the future. That you will be able to live on your own just like how the baby eaglet takes his first flight. Its going to be a bumpy journey, possibly a painful one. But all parents wants to see their children spread their wings and fly high.
That's what their love wants."
And...
"Anyone can be a daddy. But it takes a real man, to be a father. You are a male by birth, but you can be a man by choice. A female by birth, a lady by choice."
(Memory...may not be fully the same)
Can never forget those words.
I don't want to hurt anybody anymore. But i know, by being kind people will take advantage of that... People will play with my emotions. Time to put a stop...
I've gotten my needs and wants sorted out. I need to secure a good future. I want a good life. I need to get my priorities right, i want a girlfriend. I need to be able to take care of a family, i want a world famous career. More or less... A few.
