The Right Mistakes. My Life As A Singapore Gangster

  • มูฮัมหมัด วันดีhas quoted5 years ago
    If I don’t, would my friends in prison or my dead friend feed me? That’s why I say, now that you are still young, do something good. Be gangster and fight every time… what’s the point? You’ll end up either in jail or dead.”

    “But what can I do now?”

    “I can’t answer that. Think about it, son. The clock is ticking, the days are counting. How old do you want to be before you realise that you’ve walked the wrong path?”
  • มูฮัมหมัด วันดีhas quoted5 years ago
    Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift; that’s why it’s called the present. You know that, but do you know this? There are people dying in the hospital who long to recover just to see another day. There are people behind bars who want to get out just to be free another day. And here you are throwing your days away as a gangster. Is one day nothing to you? If that’s so, then don’t those people deserve this gift more than you? At least, they want it more than you.”

    “You have one life. Do you want to spend it in jail? What about your parents? Who will care for them? I understand your age. You want to be fierce, a fighter, and go clubbing with girls and go drinking…”

    “No. I don’t even have a girlfriend. And clubbing, there’s nothing I really like about it.”

    “Then what do you like?”

    “Me?

    “No, the ghost behind us.”

    “I don’t know… I really don’t know.”

    “Never mind. You think about it. Can you get them if you were lying on a bed in a hospital or prison?”

    “What are you trying to say?”

    Without evil, we will never

    see what’s good.

    Look at; don’t just see.

    Listen to; don’t just hear.

    Feel with; don’t just touch.
  • มูฮัมหมัด วันดีhas quoted5 years ago
    So, what if, one day, you realised that a mistake had been made:

    Every breath you ever took

    Every grain of rice you ate

    Every drop you drank

    Every move you made

    On this earth

    Was a waste

    All those years walking

    To where you are standing right now

    All of it was bullshit.

    And the truth is you were the mistake

    From the day you were born to this very minute

    Your entire life… has been a mistake.

    How would you feel?

    What would you do?
