Being blind for an hour~~

Hi everybody,

Its been a while since I blog. But this thing that I did today really I need to blog.

I took a course called "General Psychology" and we have assignments every week. But this week was rather different. The assignment requires me and a friend (who didn't take Psychology) to go to the lecturer's office. There our Psychology lecturer will give a task to be done blindfolded. Different people will have different task. Some is to take a lecturer name card from the other block, some is to go pick a stone at the park, and many more..

As for me, my task is to go to the library and borrow a book by the name "Road Development". Then my this friend, Kelvin who came with me, needs to make sure I don't kill myself by falling down or knocking something. What do you think? Nice assignment? Haha..

I was rather scared being blindfolded. So many people will see and asked what is Jesse doing and all. Quite ashamed also. Well, the starting of my journey is by walking slowly to the lift. Well, wasn't that hard. Slowly I walk. Kelvin was walking next to me. He was talking to me along the way which was actually prohibited in the assignment (Shh.. haha). When I reach the front of the block, I was supposed to turn to the left to go to the library, I didn't know so I walk till I feel I'm walking on some place that isn't straight.

"this must be the park"

So I make a u-turn and walk back on track. Going to the library wasn't that hard. A friend of mind, Gwen, she very naughty. She saw me blindfolded and she stood still see would I knock her. Surely enough, I knocked her. Quite funny also lo. Then as I reach the chancellor hall area, there were many booths there and it was abit hard for me to get through it. But slowly I manage to get to the library.

I went straight to the help desk. Asked, "excuse me". Apparently, nobody reply me. So I decided to look for my friend who is sitting at the newspaper area as there were calling my name. So happen before I go to meet the lecturer, I was at the library. So, I knew who were there. So I call my friend, Stella, and asked her to help me. Help me find on the com for the collection. She brought me to the shelf to look for that book. Praise God, in no time it was found. She then brought me to check out the book and also lead me to the door. Really want to thank this sister in Christ for her help. It was such a blessing to have her being part of my assignment. Haha..

So as I walk back to the block 21. I told Kelvin,

"don't talk to me, let me walk alone. If you talk to me, I would know where is the direction."

So, ok. He didn't talk to me after that. It was really a tough time. I can't really see anything and was just walking by faith. And also touching the building and structure around me to make sure I'm on the right track. It was really tough. At one point, I reach the edge of the pathway, thank God Kelvin quickly stop me, else I will have quite a few cuts and bruises by now. Hehe. So, slowly step by step, I reach the lecturer office. I was so relieved when I took of the cloth that is covering my vision.

I really want to thank God for creating me so perfectly, in this context, eyesight. Life would be so meaningless without vision to see all the beautiful things that our great God had created. Without eyesight, there is just this feeling of fear inside. Fear to walk, fear that someone would attack you, fear to fall, fear to make friends too, and many more... Really, thank You Lord!!


P/S: Ya, having a person to talk to is the best thing that a blind person could have. So, if you would ever see a blind man around, please don't ignore him. At least talk to him.
