If I Became A Blind Person..

.. I would feel like dying and ending it all.

But the people I saw today weren't as negative as I am.

I went for a course called "Dialogue In The Dark" this morning with the other councillors of my school.

At first I thought ; Aw man, it's gonna be some blind old men giving us tours around the places, tell us to close our eyes to feel and smell stuff.

I stand corrected.

A couple of pretty girls led us into a completely pitch dark room, with black color painted walls. We were told to hold walking sticks, and the person's shoulder in front of us.

Our guide was inside the room waiting for us. His name is Kelvin. When I first heard his voice, I was thinking; Hey, I like his voice.

When we first got into the room, he told us to feel a number plate. I was so afraid of getting lost, I didn't let go of my friend's shoulder for even one second. Kelvin helped me with that, though. Throughout the excursion, I kept thinking; Is this what every blind people experience everyday??

I was so afraid, and so eager to complete the whole excursion and wanted to see light again,

Even though it was really fun, but I cannot imagine myself living like a blind person ALONE. The excursion was fun because there was Kelvin, and my friends.

But what if they weren't there with me?

If I was blind, I'd have to cope with everything myself most of the time, with no guide to guide me, and no friends to joke or share my suffering with me forever.

After this excursion, I feel that blind people are really brave. They are even able to lead less stressful lives than us, even though they can't see.

We should be more appreciative that we have the privilege to see and hear properly.

Oh, and my guide for the day was Kelvin Tan Wei Lian!! :D

After the course, I went to Causeway Point's Popular bookstore to buy one of his CD, Moving Notes :
