Ciaossu!yes today's weather is very nice and i am talking aabout the weather coz i'm bored. =)
oh and i am serving this as a weather report for my classmates who are now probably groping around in the dark and enjoying themselves.
so yea they are now in dialogue in the dark,ngee ann poly.and now that they are experiencing the wonders of being blind i can finally tell you guys out there what happened in which i had censored in the past few posts.
went there by bus.listening to music on bus.the bus driver made one big unneccesary round around the housing estates befre going to the highway(or wateva u ppl call it...)reached there,found some cute girls older than us(v.ball c boys) and got down,
THE END!
nah just kidding after that we were blind folded and then asked to arrange ourselves according to birthday,then height,then we had to say the letters of the alphabet from a-z.sounds easy?try it with your eyes closed.we did it out in the open space beside the ditd place.
then we went in and did an activity in which we had to be in pairs.i grouped with yong kang! :D then i was blind folded again and there will be paper balls strewn all over the floor.yong kang have to give me orders to pick up as many as we can.like"a little bit to the left","beside your foot"and "hey!thats my leg!let go!".after sanitising our hands we proceded to the main event.
it was an awesomely dark room.so dark u cant see your hands in front of you at all.we were given walking sticks as a guide to help us "see" in the dark.its like a trail where there are 4 rooms to go through.but since we were as blind as bats we had a blind guide who knows his way through the whole thing very well.as for me my guide was Jason.awesome guide.
the first room was the one with plants and sir stamford raffles feet.there was water trickling down the wall.cool to the touch,and is cool itself.second room,was a room with a car.omg a real car!what brand?i forgot....after touching the car we were to feel some samples of everyday objects and to guess them,like cabbage,apples etc.the third room was a room where we had to cross the bridge to get onto a boat.as in a real boat!there was wind,there were sprays of water,i felt a bit sick,so i thought it was real.but it could be a simulation.wait....definitely a simulation.how can a blind person drive a boat without crashing?oh and on the boat timothy kept poking me with the stick.irritating.we got off the boat,and headed to a cafe.there was a real counter,with real drinks!i bought a pepsi which cost $2.worth it.maybe coz my sense of taste is heightened thats why it tasted sooo good.oh there was a song called fireflies by owlcity being played.as for the others i have no idea.then with our drinks everyone sat down and we posted some questions to our guide.i'm grateful he answered all the questions and i have a new perspective of a blind person after hearing his story.awesomely touching.then we ended our tour.we also got to see how our guide looks like.a fine looking man that is like any other normal person.if he didn't grope around i thought he could see.
so our tour ended.but while waiting for the other group my group made cards for Jason.to me,he has a very strong will and a good character too.he was able to overcome blindness in just 3 years.i think that problems i face are pweny compared to his.wish i could go there again...
