• Four years ago, a mother came to me and asked me to help her to teach her son who was suffering from leukemia.
• The father of the boy is jobless as he is also a very sick patient.
• The financial burden of the family depends solely on the mother who involves in materials recycling.
• But, she is a very strong mother.
• Due to his sickness, Eng Huat had to skip standard 1 and went straight to standard 2.
• Without much thinking, I agreed and volunteered a lower fee.
• His mom thanked me repeatedly. I could felt the sincere appreciation of a mother.
• Since that day, little Eng Huat started to come to my centre. He was so pale and weak.
• However, he was very playful.
• From him, you would feel that life is full of zest.
• But, he had started to make all my teachers mad about him because he was very playful.
• Soon, we forgot that he was a very sick patient because he was very positive about life.
• You would not felt that you were dealing with a very sick boy.
• He started to make great progress in his health.
• Once, I called him ‘Ah San’ as the rice that he needed for lunch is as much as a ‘san’ (Hill in Chinese) in a bowl.
• He then put on a lot of the weight.
• 3 weeks ago, he told me in my class “Teacher, I have recovered. I am a healthy boy now.”
• I replied him, “Very good!”
• But, 2 weeks ago, I received a call from his mom and she said, “Mr. Lee, Eng Huat has to stop coming to your centre as his cancer cells appear again!”
• My goodness, how can this be true??
• But, it is true……..
• I did not know what to say, but I will say
• If you wish to help him, please help to bank in some money to his mother bank account as below:-
• Name : Ooi Cheng Siew
• Bank : Maybank
• Account No: 1070 6825 6069
• Please help to spread this news around your friends by forwarding this email to your friends. Eng Huat needs your help. He had just completed his first Chemotherapy treatment.
• There are 9 more treatments to go.
• I just called him and promised to visit him this weekend.
• I asked him, “Pain or not?”
• He replied, “Pain!”
• The reply made my heart broken…

Thanks, Tatt, Tatoo & Chin Seng....
Sometimes, I wonder what happened to all other brothers, they do not seem to be interested in all other things other than their career or they are too busy for other things. They only responded to "birthday wishes"!!?? Is there no other things that can capture their attention or life is so hectic?
Dhc, BE COOL! Some may done good deed silently. And you may relatively have more and flexible time than many of us .................
Shd our life be so hectic? I had read hui kay's blog that he asked all to step back and look back to see whether this is the type of life we want and many agreed but in reality it is not true ya! I do not think i hv more time than others.
