Dialogue in the dark~
There goes my virgin trip to having an experience being in total darkness with a black and white strip walking stick. The whole learning experience as very indulging, however it wasn't a long one. We are only able to be in there for about half an hour, experiencing the difficulty in identifying objects using all our senses especially touch and smell. Since we can't see, we are more afraid of walking into the wall, hence we all walking very cautiously so we won't fall if there happens to have a slight slope or even a pillar that we might brush across. We went "grocery shopping" in the dark, touching and feeling what kind of vegetables and fruits there are in the basket. Since we already knew how things look and smell like, we are able to identify them quickly. In the dark, we also went into a cafe, they sell cookies, drinks and even ice cream. I only bought the cookie because I didn't want to make a mess on my shirt because I don't know how will it be served. Hahaha! well, it sure is interesting to experience it in this 30-45 minutes but I can never imagine if my whole life is in darkness. I probably wouldn't even survive just moving out of the house. I made use of the walls on the side to walk to destinations. Imagine on the road, there wouldn't be anything to guide me on walking straight or will I be ended up walking off to the main road which will be extremely dangerous!! Respect to these visually impaired people!
Went to meet the smoking counselor today as well, shared stories about the stress I have and how to quit smoking eventually. Shared about how I'm stressed over academic as well as impressing Yu Jun. Because there's still a part of me hoping to be with her even though I'm starting to feel like wanting to quit and stop. That's because her snaps are taking extremely long these days and mostly are 1 snap replies even though I sent like 3-4 snaps trying to get a conversation going... But we'll see as time goes on
