the following below is grabbed from youth.sg. he's too much for me to write about.
Think there’s no one to turn to? Feel insecure and insignificant? That was how Glenn Lim an ex-drug abuser felt in his younger days. He has since become an anti-drug ambassador, a counsellor to other drug addicts at Teen Challenge and founded Awakening Productions which organizes gigs for youth to express themselves.
I first met Glenn at the *scape lunch at Coriander Leaf and was introduced to his works. I’ve always looked up to those who are able to walk out of their decadent life and yet be able to share courageously with others of their life experience. Glenn was one such person so I decided to watch the movie – Green Grass – the true life story of Glenn Lim.
This movie ties in with the Green Grass Project, which is a series of launch events and screenings that will take place at various institutions, schools and community platforms in Singapore.
Green Grass features a teenager in a world of his own. Caught up in drugs, alcohol and rock music, Glenn left home when he was 18. His mum was an anxious mother constantly nagging at him while his dad was a silent parent - never questioning nor quering about Glenn’s life. His younger brother was a model student and Glenn’s parents were constantly comparing the two siblings. One day, he left his home to pursue his dream of being a rock musician. He came back with drugs 2 years later and was nearly sentenced to life imprisonment. Miraculously, his life sentence was reduced to 6 months. Since then, he has left his old world behind.
now my turn:
today he came to my school to do a talk. he was really inspirational and motivating and really woke me up sia~ he's an interesting person who will entertain you with his past experiences too. he talked about his life which was really 'colourful'. his sense of humour was just so, so, i dunno, entertaining. he talked about this pink cell too for jailbirds who create chaos in jail. it was just as i guessed, pink. hahasss. i'm sososo clever. anyway, it was just great to see him. he talked about the half-way house too which he stayed at and which i visited, i think last year.
