A Testimonial

Adam Khoo.. the 3 days intensive cse has finally come to an end..
we will all surely miss the trainers.. Amin's cute pic of himself.. Danny's horendous drawings.. Gary's jokes.. Wayne's down to earth attitude..
i know that many of you guys didn went up the last time.. but well i did.. and i will like to share the testimonial with you guys..



hey guys.. i'm kenneth Yau frm 4D.. and i suppose most of you.. or at least a grp think i come from a well to do family.. a family with a car.. private housing.. maid and sorts right.. [replies of agreement].. yes.. i admit that.. i admit that what i just said was the truth.. i do come from a well to do family.. a family who well provides me with nearly everything a child can ask for...
but never did i cherish that love and concern my parents showed me.. i took them all for granted.. serious... they work from day to night.. sometimes even till the wee hours of morning juz to earn those blood sweat cash.. to feed the family.. to provide for me and my bro.. to support us.. NEVER did i once appreciated that LOVE.. NEVER.. not once.. the only time i said I LOVE YOU to my parents was when what? a mere 9 or 10 year old?? now that was a long time ago..
the shirts they bought for me with those money they earned.. i juz took them.. and threw them at a dark corner of my wardrobe.. never to wear it.. not even once.. it juz stayed there and collected dust for a couple of years... and as a matter of fact.. i juz gave those unwanted clothing of mine away to my cousins who are worse off then us... a week ago.. a mere 7 days ago..[shocked faces in the crowd] yes i did just that..

to add on.. my parents took me overseas for vaccation.. to china HK last yr... and australia several times since i was 10.. went to perth.. gold coast and New South Wales.. yes.. my family did go to these places.. BUT.. i never did once spare a thought for all the trouble my parents had to go through just to put this trip together.. just to make this trip a success.. never did i once consider that sweat they perspired while planning these wonderous trips... all i did there was to enjoy life.. not giving a HECK abt the details.. and my BRO!! ok.. i know i should not be talking about him.. but what the heck.. i mean.. when we take photos together.. i can pose with him with a bright smile.. while he gives the sibei sian smile.. i mean WTF!! we rarely go on these trips and he does this?? sigh.. and my mum.. she's kind enough to stand there and take the pictures for us.. i can show u all the albums of our trips.. and out of the thousands of pictures.. u can only find 1 or 2 pictures with my mother inside of it with my dad.. and maybe 4 together as a family.. all of which my bro had that sibei sian smile on him... and what did i do? just brush it off my shoulders and not care abt it..

my parents nag at me almost every single day.. i admit it.. and i do not even care abt it.. i slacked and my studies dropped.. i lied to my parents that i studied when i didnt.. results came.. promises were broken.. and all my parents did was to say that i should try harder the following year.. i was shocked to hear that.. i was expecting them to blare at me.. or even ground me for a few weeks.. but they merely encouraged me.. and once again.. i just felt a sign of relief and carried on with my old lifestyle..

i do not believe what i did then.. if i had the choice.. i would jump off a building right now.. i do not deserve their love.. i took them all for granted.. i took all e trips that came as a part of my lifestyle.. oblivious to the back stage scenes.. i dumped those clothes at a side.. all because i did not want to wear it out to public and have my friends laugh at me..

i just have this to say to you guys.. the next time your parents bring you shopping or buys u something.. a shirt for example.. wear it.. put it on.. do not care about what your friends think.. if they laugh at you.. tell them straight in the face that you wear the love care and concern my parents shower on me.. and be proud of it...

[silence for a while]{tears in my eyes} i really do not know what else to say.. but to ask mum and dad to just stand up so that i can show off the 2 of you to everyone in this hall what great parents i have..

thanks...[wipes off tears]
