It all started with WeiXian, Willie or QiFeng.. I don't know who did what.. But it changed the WHOLE mood of the trainer, Leroy.. He was bubbly and cheerful.. Then suddenly changed.. Like a human transformed into a werewolf.. It was very scary!! Then he started talking about reality..

Malay men were mostly at Mac delivering.. Thinking about Motorbikes

Malay women were good for dressing like sluts and whores..

Indian men were good for drinking alcohol and making noises..

Indian women were good for being nurses and cleaners..(I THINK!!)

Chinese men were good for selling handphone.. And calling out on passer-by known as "Chio Bu"..

Chinese women were good for working at coffee shops sell drinks and working at brothels..

He said that we were the last class in the Express Stream.. So we might as well be with the Sec 5s.. Then he said that the Sec 5s were so useless and he pictured most of them as what was said above..

I did not know why he said it.. It was not part of the talk.. Then he took us through the visualisation process.. A very painful process where we have to close our eyes and visualise thoughts of our parents.. Suffering with us in their wombs.. Sleepless nights.. Vomit but nothing comes out.. Cautious..

And our mums do not even complain even one bit.. And just kept in their minds that we would be special.. We were born and they took care of us carefully.. Carried us when we cried.. Fed us when we were hungry.. Cared for us and never even complained one bit..

And then when we grow older.. We behaved differently.. We started to behave differently.. We would shout back at them and we would think they are fine.. But they are actually crying in their hearts.. Something that some of us actually did not know.. Mothers have the greatest love for us.. No matter what they said about us.. May it be an insult or just plain nagging.. They are just trying to show that they love us and they really want us to succeed in life..

Then the hard part came.. We pictured our parents growing old.. Mums losing their beauty.. Strength of bones gone because while we were in their wombs, we suck in their calcium.. Dad's faces being wrinkled.. And being slower than usual.. Both parents looking very different before.. Suddenly dropping on the floor as if they could not take it.. And we would shake them and say "Ma!! Pa!! Please wake up!!" Dad would wake up.. But mum just dissipated away.. He said his final words "It's ok boy.. I just want you to do well!" And they were gone just like that.. It taught us that life has an end.. That we should never take things for granted..

When the lights were turned on, there were so many in tears.. The visualisation process really touched our hearts.. We should never take our parents for granted.. We should respect them.. And care for them just like what they did for us when we were young..
