Really thankful to the friends who accompanied me. I'm proud of you, donors!
All except 2 had their virgin clubbing experience.
I must comment that clubbing is kinda of boring- seriously don't know whats going on.
Was glad i had a task?, at least i did mingle with some crowd who were present at the event.
FYI:
The first and only guidedog in Singapore is named Kendra Kua (go search it on facebook!), and its owner Mr Kua (same chinese surname as me but from the Teochew dialect) is blind from the day he was born.
Interesting facts he shared when i bombarded him with questions was that the worse thing to born without sight is that he can't imagine how big things are, i.e. he can feel how an aeroplane looks like but he have to visualise it himself. When people tell him that zebras are 20 feet tall figuratively, he has to ?climb the steps to know how high 2 storeys are.
Another one: The guide dog is very duty conscious when the hurdle is put on his back, when he removes the hurdle he is just as lively as any dog.
Guidedogs are trained by sighted individuals when they are born, they are about 2 years old when they are finally qualified as a trained guidedog and will be left to the visually handicapped owner for a few weeks of training at the US before they keep each other company for life till the dog retires.
Guidedogs can be allowed to take public transport and even SIA cos they are not pet dogs but dogs with a mission.
Treasure your sight and support the cause. Donations goes to training guidedogs in the US for Singaporeans:)
