"Hey guys and girls. I'm sorry i don't have the final courage to bid you all farewell. Hope you all will forgive me. I'm an emo teacher and i dont want to affect your area cleaning or whatever you were assigned. Please take good care of yourselves and dont give up on your studies. I actually miss you more than i appear and i will never forget you all. Thanks for the unforgettable experience and i wish you all the best in the future. I shall continue to stay strong and treasure what sight i have left."

What did he mean by whatever sight he had left? well...i am sure almost all of you know that Mr. Soh is 85% blind. He apologised to you guys cos he said that he couldn't tell you about his life because our lesson was on vesak day... and that is why...i am here to tell you his real life story... He wants apologise for being so bad-tempered and wants to thank you for being his students...now...this is his life story:
Mr.Soh was 18 years old...2 years back and i am sure you all knew that he had skin allergy...He's allergic to dust. His leaders/ officers knew about this ut they didnt really care. He also had health problems and whenever he approached the officers, they will just reply "nevermind...carry on..." One day, he got assigned as a clerk, the officers then asked him to clean a OFFICE THAT WAS NOT USED FOR 20 YEARS!!! IMAGINE HOW MUCH DUST WAS THERE??? He had to do his job of course and cleaned it until it was SPOTLESS.... and when he went back to his desk...his allergies started coming...the lines on his palms were like slits and cuts...red blood seeped out from below. He wasn't really bothered with it...Days went by, and one day, in the morning, he woke up....and was blind...just like that...his life was gone in JUST one day....He went for an operation $4000 per eye....and his family went bankrupt. His parents refused to accept that he was blind and didnt allow him to use the walking stick.

I know some of you guys hate him? But trust me he suffered a lot more!! Today's his last day....and he wanted to tell you this.....and i am telling you all now...Mr. Soh is going blind BY THE SECOND....NOT by minutes, not days...but seconds...during those 2 years....he lost 85% of his eyesight...15% left...how many more months left? Before he goes totally blind....before he is not able to see anything but darkness anymore...? He is now worried about supporting himself....how to make money...how to earn a living. dont you think its unfair?dont you think his life was unfair?I am not asking you to like him soooo much...but i am asking you....to at least have faith in him....to trust him...he wanted me to tell you all this...and if i were to stand in front of the class and to tell you straight....i would have broke down....so i hope you all...will have faith in him...thank you....
