A true story
I was on my way to a friend’s place the other day. It was around10 at night and I was sitting at a bus stop in front of “HELPING HAND”.
“The Helping Hand was founded in 1987 as a Christian halfway house for the rehabilitation and aftercare of ex-drug addicts. As of 2006, we have opened our doors to ex-criminal offenders as well. The Helping Hand is a registered Voluntary Welfare Organization (VWO) in Singapore.”
As I stared at the glary lights, trying to catch my bus, a taxi suddenly came to a halt in front of the bus stop. For a moment I thought that the taxi driver was trying to see if I need a cab. As a look further into the cab, I saw a lady sitting in the front seat with 2 children at the back seat. She had a sad face and she was starring into the buildings of Helping Hands. The Taxi driver just drove very slowly past the bus stop.
It seems as though the man the lady loves is in the building, trying his best to quit his drug addiction. It saddened me to see such a scene. When we take drugs, those who were hurt most are usually the ones who truly love us.
Singapore wants to become a drug free country and I look forward to a drug free society. I admire the love of the lady for her man. So, let’s not make the people around us sad by doing foolish acts such as taking drugs.
Love is never a word but an action. Have you been trying to tell the one you love how much you treasure him/her? If not, tell your loves one that you truly treasure them TODAY!!

There’s a man dying on the side of the road,
Won’t make it home tonight.
He was driving fast on his cellular phone,
That’s how he lived his life.
And while he was hangin’ by a thread… Read More
these were the final words he said
My girl turns sweet sixteen today,
She’s beautiful, so beautiful.
It might get rough sometimes
but I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
There’s a women crying on the kitchen floor,
She got a call tonight.
Now she’s trembling outside her daughter?s door
Walks in and holds her tight
Wondering how and where to start,
Is there a way to shield her heart?
