long week. ok CIP first.we had cip in the range on saturday. help the visually disabled. so they came and we helped them shoot balloons in the range. yeah sounds lame, but they really cherished the visit and it meant a lot to them. you can really hear it in their voice.
so a few people and i went t the clock tower to show them to the range.there were lke about 20 of them, with only 1 coodinator. they're not totally blind so most of them could walk without aid.a few, about 4 needed help. i helped one of them down to the range, and he was talking to me. he asked where he was, who i was and what was my name. then it suddenly sruck me 'helpless' they were. when we were going down the stairs, he held me real tight. he said, you must hold me if not i'll fall. and i watched his struggle with every step, i felt a pang of symphaty for him. i could almost feel the helplessness behind his grip. imagine if you cant see, you dunno where you are and all you have for support is a stranger's hand, your only link to the world of sight. how would you feel?
and the worst thing was that some people just stone around didnt bother to help.rather they didnt dare to help just because maybe their appearances were slightly abnormal.
in the range i spoke to a few of them. i realised that as mr tan mentioned, they may be visually disabled but they were emotionally rich people. some of them had stories and experiences to share. they were not the least bit emotionally disabled. - seeing their smiles was actually was v fufilling and meaningful.the activity has made me realise how fortunate i am, to be blessed with sight.
aye sometimes somethings in life can be real sad.
right sat chuanxin and i went esplanade t watch separation 40.was a compulsary play.before that we met at city hall and we sorta got lost and ended up at suntec.from there we took a cab with 2 bucks surcharge to esplanade.the show was ok, couldnt get some of the themes behind it thought. D:
after that we just wondered around to spore river and clarkequay. den fullerton hotel.which was damn class.uhh went there last year during cip too to slack. den i went home and feel asleep on the mrt.reached home at 12plus hahahha.
oh im not shooting sunday's monthly shoot.coach said.anyway my thumb hurts so just as well.yeah-
