Today, after paper, stay in school for a inspiring talk by the first visual impaired man in singapore who owns his own first guide-dog in singapore..
How cool was it?
Super duper cool. He even brought his doggy along, and my class took a class with her too.
He shared with us the troubled he had with the community about having a guide dog and moving around in the community. He told us all the trouble he went to get guide dog ilegalised in singapore and allowing the blind to own their guide-dog and allowing them in to shopping permises and everywhere and every corner of singapore.
He shared with us the trips he went overseas, and the different things he "see" thru all the travels he had overseas. And then he even shared with us how guide-dogs are shared and how he advocated for the Visually impaired. He was so independent and so unbelievably strong-minded and business-minded too.. haha.. and now he's importing all the assistive technology for the visally impaired. I admire his will power.. i think i can never beat that.
Then 2 seniors who went over to Japan for their 4wks of clinical attachment shared with us their clinical experience there and the culture shock they had. and the communication breakdown they had with the japanese supervisors and how they had to act out what they did to "talk" to the supervisors. Was a interesting and pretty humorus and relaxing presentation by them.
Overall, impressed and inspired by the talk tonight. And i'm so spurred on to do something for these pple..
Inspiration shall spur me On..
Oh i'll miss my basil in the hydroponics. Coz i can't possibly bring the whole hydro pond home.So they are staying in sch. and i guess i won't get to see them unless i go back to sch.
Qn now. Should i head straight back to my music tml? or should i give myself a well deserved break?
Ans: I still don't know.
