DISABLED BUT NOT USELESS...

It’s the first time I'm at cell without Wai Ling around… Really miss her lotz *sob sob*… It will never be the same not having my best friend around… All the fun times we had, chats and secrets we share… She always lights up the whole place with her bubbly and outspoken personality, hehe… Unless I go visit her at her house, I won’t be able to see her that often anymore…

Having lived in BG for close to 2 years now, she had really learnt a lot about independence… Her confidence in herself despite being a disabled person is really something one should give credit for… She lost the use of her legs (paralyzed waist down) in an accident a couple years ago, but after much rehabilitation during her stay in BG, she’s no different than any other abled-bodied person… Because she is independent enuff in taking care of herself, it is time she moved out from BG, giving the opportunity to others to learn independence as well…

The one thing I love about her is her openness… Her friendliness is something I truly admire… It is through communicating with her that I learnt my mandarin vocab again… Most of the time we would arrange for a gathering or juz to hang out with others in the centre, like going out for a drink, movies during the weekends, or shopping with the girls, hehe… At the end of the day, it is the satisfaction that we had achieved somthin even the abled person can do… We have yet to plan a slumber at each other’s place, hehe… Now that my room is ready, a slumber night with her is next on my list… But according to her, that will also have to depend on her boyfriend’s schedule, since she would be depending on him for transport (her driver, hehe…) So, we’d have to see how each of our schedules go, where we can fit the slumbers in… Counting down the days…
