Acts of Disabilities 2008 Forum

Today i had attended a forum regarding Acts of Disabilities 2008 oganized by Bar Council. Initially, i went to attend because i went with Best Buddies advisor, as well as got to know more about disabilities...

The talk began with what is needed to be focus and changed in the Acts..there is 10% of population suffered from disabilities..the topic mostly focused on education, transportation, accessibility for disabled persons..

It was indeed eye opening for me..when the Q and A session started...

Everything is about...

Through their intonation of speech, could really feel their disappointment, anger, frustration, urge, and all sort of negative emotions toward the acts.

"It is just a piece of statement, without any implementation"

" Rapid KL has got new buses..however none of the buses think of the accessibility for disabled persons"

" There is no parking space for disabled persons, so it is unfair to receive penalty or either clamping car"

" One of the disabled persons has been excluded from the school after several months..even his mum donated money to the school"

A lot of heated discussion went on and on...

Although i got not much knowledge regarding the acts..but through this forum has made me even more aware of the needs of disabled persons...

We really can't ignore their existence..we should not discriminate them at all...

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
