The Rainbow's Gold
I saw Daniel Goh today! Remember the most hated guy in school who got kicked out back in sec 2? Well yeap, I saw him.. I was straggling up the bus with my brother after watching 'Double Happiness' at my Grandma's. And he was in front of me, wearing a shirt with a phrase from the bible, neat jeans and combed hair, silver spectacles and looking really decent. He was talking to his friend, and he greeted Stephen warmly when he saw him on the bus. I'm amazed and glad for him, he's finally changed for the better. I remember he used to insult me and was seriously defiant; now look at him, he's a respectable guy with good christian background. Whoever changed him, I'm ultimately greatful to you.
It's showed us (or at least me) that those cheesy bad-guy-changed-good in movies and on TV do happen in real life. I know he probably doesn't remember me and all, but I can tell you these stories happen all the time in life, it's just that most of us don't realise them. No matter how evil you are or how punky you might be, there's always a lock to your good side, you just have to find that key. Alot of people become who they are because of their friends, who cares about them? They can't change who you are, if you choose to follow the trendy, you come with all the tenacious cons they face.. and you'll never come to realise who you are.
Alot of people love to hide in their shells, block their emotions and show their tough side Guys do that, all the time.. alot of them have too much pride. Strip it... I mean the pride. Are you going to give up on your inner self because you had too much of it? I know most teenagers give up too much to be themselves. You are who you are, we don't depict you, the people around you can't judge you like that. We just live by our rules.. are you going to stop yourself from helping an old lady because of your macho image?
Sometimes you have to drop your pride to do what's right.
I'll never forget that. :]
