Today we went to Ngee Ann Polytechnic for "Dialogue in The Dark" to experience the blind handicaps lifestyles each and everyday. How they been through their daily life without their version, how they actually know how to different shape packet drinks,money or even crossing the traffic light and many more. That are some stuffs we learn but despite all that basic stuffs, the most important thing is that we gone through how they been through and feel it with our own capabilities exactly.
So the first activity is where we sit tog with some other groups while some others went into the room where we experience the darkness. The activity is that we have to pick a theme whether it is, songs or movies and once we pick one we read it and have to draw it with blind folded. After the person done with drawing the rest have to guess what is it and that person have to pass to another person. As we move on the instructors mention my name and chose me to go up there to continue with the activity so you can call that as sabotage.hahas...
When it comes to my group, we have to sanitizer's our hands before moving in and listen to instructions from one of the instructors there. It's important to listen clearly to the instructions so that we would be clear of what we should and shouldn't be doing in there. I'm the first to step into that place of super darkness and my feelings was like very scary as that is my first time but yet very excited to explore everything in there. Mr. Wesley is our blind handicap guide who is professionally trained, he gonna be the one and only who will guide us through out the journey and we will only could, smell, hear, feel, name it but not our version.
Basically, we could ride the boat, feel the water, crossing the traffic light, walking through the bridge, touching a car, could hear the birds sounds, the river, going into the super market getting to touch the stuffs around, there's also a cafe where we could order drinks or snacks and everything in there are 100% real!!=D To wrapped up, i feel really amazed and inspired how they the blind handicaps are very confident of their destinations. I strongly encourage everyone who are interested to go for it. The price for adult is $20 and for children $12, it's worth it.
No matter where you're standing right now, never ever underestimate yourself.=))
