staring out of the window of the bus.. my eyes caught something so very inspiring to all..
one would normally not care about a bunch of youths playing football at an open space in between HDB flats.. but this one was exceptional. other than the fact is saw a mixture of races playing happily together.. which is well.. a proven fact that racial harmony has been effectively promoted by the Singapore government..
putting that aside.. what so inspiring is that i saw a young malay.. probably abt 17years old of age.. holding metallic "sticks" to support himself as he staggered round the play area.. that really caught my unmost attention as my eyes were fixed upon him as i started to scrutinize him.. i gaped.. he was limping around with only one leg.. the other was most likely amputated for some reason.. maybe due to a disease or an accident.. that person alone.. made me get off the bus a stop earlier just to watch him play.. it simply amazes me at what he can do even with that disability..

he may be disabled but he definitely not unable

just by looking how he kicks the ball with sheer percision. the way he positions himself in the play area.. it sometimes makes u wonder whether he really is disabled to begin with.. by fact he is. some say reality is harsh but in this case.. i can say that he has taken that fact and turned it around. not allowing it to bother him in any way.. the way people looks at him differs from those who are not willing to do something about their life but sit down in the underpass of orchard road and beg for money.. hoping some kind souls will donate money to allow him to get pass his day with the bare necessities or at least let him buy the food he needs to survive.

the new show on CH5.. Life story which debuts sometime this week.. should really consider putting this guy into their show.. showcasing him to Singapore and allow those disabled to know that they can do something with their life.. utilizing what is left of their humaniod body.. without arms.. so what? they are those who have learnt to write with their mouth, ear, leg, etc.. paint with their mouth.. those without a leg, or both.. u still have your arms.. u are still useful to society in a way that u can still be productive in factories or desk-bound work like administration if u have the skills..

hey thanks N-102 and other CG for the lovely Ice-cream party we had today for fellowship!! =P
