Last Thursday, one of my good friend, LC asked me to meet her in SN (SN used to be our primary school but now the primary school has been moved to somewhere else and now the place has become a Home for the blind), I was having a really great time chatting and catching up with my friends and some of my seniors there. since I was away in KKB for so long. We even went out for lunch. We were having such a fantastic time the whole morning until.....
Around 3 p.m. one of my seniors, Jaycee (Not the real name) invited my friend and I to a gathering held weekly by an English volunteer. The gathering is actually meant for the senior citizens that stay in the home to share and entertain each other with their own funny and interesting life experience, singing of oldies or Christian Hymns (since all of them are Christians). Since Jaycee will be joining them for the first time to show her support and since another senior E asked us to join them, because she said that she will be singing a song and do some funny imitations of some people that she knows, so I agreed to tag along to show my support.
At the beginning of the session, LC and I were introduced to the volunteer as we are sort of a guest there. The warder that in charged of the senior citizens were there too. We listened to a nice Christian hymns played by the volunteer on his laptop and after that we were entertained by E singing an oldies song titled 'I Know'. Wow! E has a really beautiful voice and she can really sing. after that, the fun begins when 'E' starts to tell stories of her childhood living in SNH and imitating her previous housemothers, teachers and some of her friend's voices (I tell you she is a real comedian!!!) All of us were having a good time laughing our heads off by listening to her stories.
After that, a senior by the name of K wants to entertain us with two songs. (K is not only totally blind but he is a bit of mentally challenged) K was singing and dancing at the same time and I am really touched to see that he was enjoying himself entertaining us. Then I saw a few staff of the home suddenly appeared out of no where were, silently standing or just hanging around there. One lady staff, were silently taking photos of us with her hand phone camera... I was really unhappy and uncomfortable with that, I tried to hide my face away cause for me IT IS REALLY VERY RUDE OF HER TO TAKE PHOTOS OF THE BLIND WITHOUT TELLING THEM. AND IT IS VERY RUDE TO JUST QUIETLY SNEAK UP OR BE AROUND BLIND PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO THEIR CONVERSATION WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. What a real shame on these so call staff that work in a Home for the Blind but behave so ignorantly towards the blind. Don't tell me that no one told them about that! If you are working in with a disable organisation for more than 1 year, don't you think you SHOULD know about all the Dos and Don'ts?
As K was happily telling a story about his younger days living in the home, and he was telling in his innocent way why he dislike certain people in a funny manner. We were laughing and enjoying his story about a thorn trousers that was given to him by some one (I've listen to that story for many times but still I enjoy and can have a good laugh about it! K is a real comedian too) and suddenly LC (LC knows K since they were young and all of us know that K is a innocent boy at heart without a dirty filthy mind) asked, "K where is the hole on the trousers?" (Most of us know that the answer will be: at the 'excuse me thing there). Then Suddenly a bossy voice (Miss Von Von) boom out of nowhere just like a Big Momma asking you to shut your big mouth up "Please, don't ask him that question again!.....bla bla Blu blu pot pet pot pet... K! Mr B is upstairs having a meeting and he won't be happy if he hears what you said just now!!!" (LIAR! Mr. B had already gone home at that time and by the way, Mr. B knows K since he was young and he won't take offence upon hearing what K says since everyone knows K is a bit mentally challenged) Everyone was silence for a while and K stop his story, (Thank you for spoilling the fun for everyone Miss Von Von!!!) Soon, I felt uneasy and left the gathering with Jaycee and LC.
What irritates me is the way Miss Von Von rudely reprimand LC for asking K a simple innocent question in front of so many people and an outsider. Hello, Miss Von Von, LC is a guest and not your 'anak' ok, so you don't reprimand your guest in front of people ok? Where is your manners when talking to your guest ha Miss Von Von? Where is your PR skills since you are one of those top management staff? Is that How you talk to your guest? Tskt...tskt.... tskt..... shame on you....
Miss Von Von, for your information, K is an innocent boy at heart, and he won't give a nasty answer like what you had in your old filthy mind la. Don't think every one has a filthy corrupted mind like yours ok?
Dearest Miss Von Von, you can see with your own two well sighted eyes that the warden is there, right? And do you think that the warden is so silly till she can allow K to embarrassed himself in front of a volunteer? More ever, we are all K's friends, will we be so cruel or so naive as to let K embarrassed himself in front of a volunteer? Ask yourself la Miss Von Von, how well you know K and how well the warden and the senior citizens know K? Don't simply jump into conclusion la... you make things worse la...
Haih.... some people, they are so BOSSY and yet they think that they are always on top of the world!!! Really pity them......
