Have you ever been mocked by someone because of the way you look? Don't worry you are not alone.
I too also been mocked by people because of my handicap of not being able to walk whenever I go out I will try to hide form people. Sometimes I even hear people whisper to themselves why is this boy so weird. It broke my heart once I head that. From that day onward I told myself I will prove these people wrong one day.
Sometime in early 2004 I was called by Mediacorp they said they needed some kids to sing the theme song of the President's star Charity. I thought to myself this is a chance to prove some people wrong.
Going to Mediacorp
So I was all set to embark on life-changing journey when I got to Mediacorp the first person I met was actor Mr Tay ping hui. So from there, we begun to bond with each other we were like best friends for a period of one moth. During the recording session which lasted over 5 hours. I have never been so tired in my whole life I felt like I wanted to give up. But with a few kind words from family and friends and more importantly the kind words of Mr Ping Hui. Knowing that my whole family was behind me the whole way I made up my mind to finish the song and not to give up.The Big Night
The night of the show finally came I was backstage trying to tell myself " you can do this your whole family is waiting for you to go live on-air!" So with that being said I sat down with the rest of the cast. At 8pm that night the show started off with a welcoming of the Guest Of Honour. Mr & Mrs SR Nathan that was my first time ever seen so many people in my entire life. After all the acts were over it was time for the Grand finale, this was my time to shine. When I stepped on stage I had the feeling of accomplishment the act of the entire cast singing Reach Out For Love ( The Theme song for the show) raised a total of $4000 to the president challenge fund.I went backstage to tank Mr Ping Hui for being such a good mentor and friend.And he said " You're welcome Wee Kiat you also have been a good fried to me too", so I said my goodbye to Mr Ping and all the kind people at Mediacorp. That night I went to bed with a smile upon knowing that I proved many people wrong.
