This is the true story a young man and his life.
You may not know him, but if you have ever walked pass his toy shop at Funan Center
(the one with the big hulking warrior statue outside the shop entrance) then you would have, for that flitting moment, passed by a life of hope, dreams, success, love, and failure. Below is his life story reproduced with permission.
*EMAIL REPRODUCED IN FULL WITHOUT EDITING*
Dear all, it is perhaps, that I come out from my cocoon and be
accounted for what has been happening. This is the 3rd year in my
business, and as till date, I love my shop, I love most of the
people I come across.
Perhaps some might have heard before my story, but for those that
never did, let me share. I studied in NTU accountancy for 1 semester
and was offered a chance to be financial planner, I was extremely
lucky to meet the correct person in my life and was catapulted to
success in a very short time.
I was my company¡¦s Top Investment-linked product adviser grossing a
production of more than S$7m, I am the World¡¦s youngest ¡§Court of
the Table¡¨ Member ever since the beginning of the international
awards. I was ranked 27th out of 5000 agents for my commission
earned.
I had 3 cars, some might have seen the photos, I had my nice studio
apartment, I had a very pretty wife. At 22- 24, I was the person
that every young man wanted to be. And I sweat and toil for it. Yet
I was not satisfied, I wanted to be better, I wanted to create my
own history and my own records. I did forgery, I was dishonest and
wanted to be better than what I am to be. The police caught up with
me and filed the case.
The law caught up with me and I was terminated. In an instance of
overnight, my wife ran away with another man, my friends deserted
me, I lost my cars, I lost my studio... and I lost myself along the
way. I committed suicide 4 times, each time that God refused to let
me go. I started off my toy store at roxy square wanting to heal the
hurt, to seek who I truly am¡K
I met my partners along the way, we may not be the best toy store,
yet I truly loved my partners, I never told them that, but their
company was great, we are fun; we are happy and sincerely great.
They do not mind my past and moved along with me.
Yet as of today, I will be gone for a long time, the Courts had
summoned me a few months back. I tried to carry on the business but
I failed¡K.. UrbanAttic is as good as gone.
Sorry for all that we missed your calls, your emails, Weiye is
extremely disturbed and falling into depression again. However, dear
friends, we wanted to see you guys one more time. We wanted to
return you your refund, your favour. We hope that you guys could
take the toys in return if kind enough. UrbanAttic lost too much
money over the price war.
Weiye will be at Sunshine Plaza on coming Friday 1st June 2007, he
will be at MyToyBox to assist you guys there at 1500 hours ¡V 1800
hours. This is very probably my last time seeing you guys.
Last but not least, before I am gone for sometime, I hope that all
wrongs that Weiye has done can be forgiven, he never run away with
your money, he ran away previously from his past.
I failed terribly in the first part of my life, I hope that the 2nd
part would end sweetly.
Please forward this mail to all forums or any channels, David Kong,
you are helluva of a good friend, thank you for taking care of me
these years. Roger, I have to see you after these ordeals. Dr lim, I
will miss your good nature, EngKeat too!!! So many of you guys
marked an outstanding part to my toy career!!
All the best and see you guys on Friday.
Weiye Wang
