Imperfect, So What...

Its an event that that i attended today,
i heard half of the description on the radio and doesn't really know what is it abt,
but it caught my attention,
i tried google for whats happening,
but i can't load the page of bukit jalil official web site,
only knowing the time and the venue of the event,
i still decided to randomly pop up at the venue and check out what is it abt...

it turn out to be a photo shoot of a huge crowd,
with the objective of raising the awareness in our society,
regarding not to look down imperfectness people or discriminating the disabled,
they given out coloured specs to us for the photo shooting,
to portray a Chinese saying of “wearing a tinted glass”, therefore be judging people with a filtered mind-set.
(有色眼镜,我不怕)
the crowd was not as large as expected, but people there were all very energetic and really fun to hang with,
also , there is really a lot ppl with super overly exaggerated styled hair (from my view ler) as one of the main sponsor is a hair stying academy i think....
8tv i wanna be a model reality show contestant,yu heng, manhand, 988 DJs....

then at that event, i met with a uncle who really thought me a lot and shared with me a lot of stories of his life....
he is no ordinary man,
he is a real man with a very strong mind set and would do whatever he can to achieve his goal,
he is a 60 year old plus old man, walking with a staff, slowly step by step alone, with the main theme of the event stick on his shirt "imperfect, so what"...
when i get to talk to him... then only i know, he is a patients who suffered from stroke,
half of his body is paralyzed, making him hard to move around,
yet this strong man, made all the way from bangi to bukit jalil stadium,
although being condemned by his own daughter and wife, telling not to be so silly to waste his time and money...
he believed in himself that he could make it and really made it all the way here,
and he told me all the other achievement that he actually accomplished although he is in that state,
he never gave up hope and always have faith in himself,
to always challenged the impossible,
when the death god came and ask him to go, he challenged him and stayed alive with his strong will....
he was not able to move his other half of body back then, but he challenged the doctor and the fact and made it through the situation...
he went through a lot, without the support from family, yet he turn the tide all around and became one of the main stay of his family....

also, thanks to this uncle,
i was being invited to be sitted at the frt row together with the celebrities together with him *lucky*
so guess that am going 2 be in the paper again...but this time am jz a small part of the big pic (damn ss ler....)
at the same time, get to see the performance at the frt seat... XD....
the dances... there is a part of the dance is actually in the dance we rehearsing now....
and i never realised we were doing such nice moves until i see it from a third party view...
lol....

i also get to snap pic with manhand... damn bangga ( was wearing white some more... like am one of them..XD)
get to snap some pic of the future model,
not to forget yu heng too... she changed a lot ler... ( she was sitting beside me during the event.... :p)

at the end of the event...
get to take prize from the 988 roadrunners....
and get 2 whole bags of freebies.... by juz standing there.... wakakka
was lucky as lin yee... on of the crew member there who were juz beside me kept giving out things to ppl at her side.... XD


flashing back to all the stories from Mr. Tan....
it is very inspiring and was very impressed by his view of life...
at the same time, i do feel a bit ashamed of myself...
with a fully healthy body... i still not able to much to accomplish my goal...
i always procrastinate and not giving all my best at the first time, and only cover it back later,
or think that i would hv a second chance...
but now... it really gave me a huge smack in the face,
and i should seriously to be more serious in everything i do...
come to think of it... whatever i achieved now, is not in my full effort...
making me master of none, but jack of al trades....
i really hv 2 get myself working harder and to be more serious....
no more slacking... or else i know one day i would regret as i will not be as lucky as always
( i know i said this like quite a few times edi... see u see what i mean?)
also at the same time am really thankful with all the things that i am blessed,
and i get to see how lucky am i to have such great family and friends arnd me...
i should b really grateful with all i hv.... i really am....

all and all today's is a very memorable day and i am really glad that i actually went there and it really an eye opening experience,
and i would definitely go for the event again if they are hving another one as i do really believe if we want to change the future, we hv to start small and work on it bit by bit....


P.S : would upload the pic later as there are quite a number of it....
