帮助 - 学习


沉浸在枯燥与枯燥与枯燥的生活当儿,接到了源森的盛意邀请,说要到盲人中心帮帮忙(可能他想和我“断背”=.="...)。起初真的有点儿不愿(与其说“不愿”,不如说“不敢”,是自己害怕去面对他们--一群比自己更“不一样”的人,害怕自己在他们面前是显得多么的渺小...),但到了最后,也不知是难挡他的拳拳盛意,还是想要实际证明一下自己想要“做好人”的决心,就跟着源森去了一趟。前一晚曾听源森说过,他到盲人中心,其实不是想帮忙什么的,而是想从他们身上学些什么,让我有点摸不着头脑。

当时我还不知道,在接下来的一整天,将会有一连串接踵而来的“惊异”事件......

当天下午,到了KL Sentral 后,我们先直接前往该中心附近的茶餐室,打算先用过午膳。还差几步就到达前,我们看到了 Nicholas 步入茶餐室,对,不要怀疑,他是该中心的其中一名盲人公务员,一名拿着一根 Blind Stick 独自走过两条马路准确无误步入茶餐室准备用午餐的盲人公务员。我顿时有种被 zadao 的感觉,他是怎样认路的?听觉?记忆?还是嗅觉?(应该是凭记忆啦~!!)

和 Nicholas 小说一会儿,发觉他其实很开朗,活在黑暗一片的世界里并没有使他意志消沉,反令他领悟到活着的可贵,因而经常保持着感恩与愉快的心情,招牌笑容一直挂在脸上。

午膳后回到 centre ,源森为我介绍了另一位盲人公务员 -- Christine the librarian 。当时我又有一种被 zadao 的感觉,因为她正在操作电脑 =.=" (后来我才知道原来这里的电脑都 install 了一种专为盲人而设的 Software - Jaws )。帮忙干了一些粗活后,源森带我到电脑室学习录制 CD ,既是把书本的内容读出来 Burn 进 CD 给盲人听 (这之前我被 zadao 了第三次,因为我看到另一个公务员在用打字机打字...)。

在放工前一位工作人员还带我们去参观一些盲人的日常用品 + 学习仪器等等。放工后 Nicholas 带我们到他的新家去 (不要怀疑,是他带我们去...),过后还一起到一家 Mamak Stall 用晚餐。期间我们也草草见过了 Nicholas 的 其他三个同甘共苦的 Housemates -- Alex , Henry & Linda 。值得一提的是,在送了 Nicholas 回家后临走前,Linda 正在做饭,对,做饭.......(p/s : 你会做饭吗??)

就这样,一个原本只能用8个字形容的一天(枯燥与枯燥与枯燥),就这样变得.....无法用笔墨形容.....


其实,没有亲身经历过,是无法体会的,它给我的震撼很大很大...的确,我是去学习,而非帮忙...跟他们相处,并不会觉得自己身在另一个 Community ...他们不会自我排斥,如果我们不排斥他们...

活着是可贵的,现在我想,自己不论对家人对朋友对情人,都应该时时怀着一颗感恩的心......

many thing is hard to step out the 1st step .. but after the 1st step it seem easier :P so why dun give you own a chance to step out from ur fear ? add oil
 
er...ya...i guess u can expect ppl to go along wif u...but don alwaz expect ppl will alwaz pull u up or push u on...
ppl who can encourage u all the time n push u on every so often is easily found...but the 1 who willing to grab ur hand towards every hardships...is far harder to b found...add oil...
