Public holidays!!!

It's going to be a public holiday on tues and wednesday hehe so will definitely BUM around lol

Don't know what to yet....will figure it out.

It's been a week since I blogged. Nothing much happening last week except meeting and meeting profiles or potiential profiles.

Went and visited a profound disabled girl, Lee Foong who is aged 22 years old. She is currently doing pet therapy. Her pet is fish =) She is not able to take a dog as she is unable to care for them. She can't walk, bathe or feed them. She is suffering from spastic cerebral palsy. Poor girl fell when she was less than year old from the sarung while she was sleeping. Didn't cry or anything. Then she became like that. Suffered from head injuries.

Apparently pet therapy works for her in this case...her fishes hehe she will make sounds and laugh and smile whenever we talk about fishes and aquariums. Her gurgles makes me feel soo happy. When her stepmom/caretaker asked her if she loves fish and said yes...she went...aaaaaa and we were smiling =) Just to hear her laugh is enough.

We will be featuring her in our OH! show in episode 2. Hope you all can catch a glimpse at her and bear in mind of people in her case. They have no friends as we(normal) ones will NOT want to make friends with them. The profound disabled people are the ones that are left behind in the disabled group. My heart felt for her. 22 years only and she still has so many years to go ahead of her....she will never get the chance to enjoy life just like we do...

Often we hear ppl complaining about their life and problems, I think these people should think back and think of those who are disabled. We should be thankful with all the good/bad things happening to us. We still can walk, eat and see the world. Unlike Lee Foong, her routine is just the same. She can't go anywhere without her caretaker. She only has her caretaker to love her and the fishes to mingle with.

What I think I want to say is....be thankful that we can still use our limbs, eyes, ears and legs. This is the first time I ever come across as in being so close to someone like Lee Foong. Makes me appreciate everything around me even if it's not on a good days. =)

Thank you Father for taking care of me everyday
