Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.

Since I've got time to spare so I shall share a bit of my experience in Dialogue in the Dark. It's a great thing that Ngee Ann got this Dialogue in the Dark exhibition for not only Ngee Ann students but for Singaporeans too. Yes, which means public can actually visit this place, however, there's a fee to pay per entry. For me, I wouldn't mind paying to get such a great experience.

As I was saying, my virgin trip into complete darkness. Before getting in we got a cane each, a very useful stick that guides us along the dark. If you've heard Dialogue in the Dark before, they do have visual impaired guides in the exhibition guiding us through. In the outside world with lights, we will be able to help them. But in the dark, trust me, they are the boss! Haha.

Before the trip started, Irene and I were super afraid of the trip. It's not only darkness that cause the nervousness, but also expecting the unexpected feel. You don't know what actually falls in front of you. The first part will be passing by the Jungle. At the start of the trip, it's a Ngee Ann Jungle with birds chirping, fake grass carpet on the floor and little trees beside the pavement that we walk. Have yet to mention about my guide, he's Uncle William. (A little info about him) He's a pretty good guide because he's able to feel the tensed up feeling from all of us. So what he did was to make an introduction and went through our names with different humorous meanings over it. This really helps us to actually calm down and enjoy the rest of the trip. Not only that he showed his professionalism in guiding us through, he showed his fatherly side. Uncle William's not born visually impaired, but due to some things I guess. However, he overcame this huge hurdle and brought himself up again. I hope he will be cheerful always.

So back to where we were, after that we gotta walk through a shaky bridge, the girls were all screaming because of it. Haha. Then Uncle William challenged us to find a bench to sit, however, I didn't manage to touch the wet log he said. So after that, we went to 'Singapore River', after not working for SRT for so long, I forgotten which year Sir Stamford came to Singapore. Derp. Le sigh. After Common Test I've gotta buck up for SRT and IBT. We got to sit on the River Taxi, was actually effects of a still boat-like thing in there. Super cool effects like strong winds, sound effects and water. Uncle William was our Captain on board too! That explains the fun and thrilling river ride. (: Passing by that we'll be the traffic lights obstacle. We have to cross the road using traffic lights to go to Little India. How awesome right! There's fresh market in there too. Onions, carrots, apple, etc. Till this it's the end of the walk. Okay, not forgetting the cafe. We can physically experience eating and drinking in the dark. Bought their cookies made by prison in-mates. Delicious! With that we end our walk.

Having this exhibition in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, my school allows me to realise how fortunate I am to know about this first exhibition in Singapore. With this exhibition, we will be able to understand how visual impaired people live their daily life in complete darkness. It's not easy for Uncle William to get back on his feet due to the fact that he ain't born visually impaired. Being able to see the beautiful scenic in this world to complete darkness. He walked a long route before finding motivations to carry on with his life. We're blessed with our eyes to be able to continue viewing beautiful things that happen in this world. So cherish our eyes and take good care of them! (:

Big round eyes to end this off! 

Till then, folks!
