There are very few things in life I know how to do. I’m terrible at Maths and Science; I’m the kind of student that every teacher dreads having; I know how to play music and that’s about it really. I cannot deny, however, that in the whole cosmic scheme of things, I’m a pretty lucky and sheltered kid. I’ve never known a day in my life where I’ve had to struggle or worry about the basic things in life.
But yeah. Nonetheless, I’ve made some mistakes in my life. I’ve gotten away with some; I haven’t with others. And with every one of those mistakes I’ve always wished that I could go back and erase everything. But I can’t. And I suppose that even if I were to go back in time, I would still have made those mistakes anyway.
But again, I’ve been lucky. Lucky enough to have people who’ve been patient with me; lucky that there’s time to make amends I guess.
Everyone deserves that chance. Its not a matter of the law or the statuettes society has laid down; its basic humanity. No one should have the right to take that chance away.
And so my wishes and prayers are with Yong Vui Kong and everyone who needs a break; a second shot in life. I pray that they might get that chance. It’s the least they deserve.
