Grace Tan: Society of the Chinese Disabled Persons, Malaysia

Last Saturday was the Mooncake Festival for Disabled society....my dad ask me to follow him because he wants me to be familiar with the roads....the reason is this coming Friday i have to pick my dad to disabled office and hes going Penang trip for 3 days 2 nights....besides that im also responsible to take photos that night....apparently my dad is the Vice President for this Disabled Society helping the people who are disable....we reach there at 5p.m....so it was not set up yet especially the tables and chairs....then this Chairman Organiser showed my dad his speech and i find it there are somethings that need to be changed.....so we went to the office and i helped out....but they were expecting Ms Low to change it but she was too busy.....wrote the speech halfway and i continued the rest....kept asking is this okay...how about i put it this way instead of that way...cause it doesnt sound right....so i took about half an hour to finish it.....because he needs to serve other people....the VIPs and other guests....then this volunteers from other school came to help out.....some were in charge to be host and the rest are serving foods....then it was 6.30p.m...the event starts...the VIPs gave thier speech including my dad....next was this group of ladies dancing.....followed by two little girls age 5 and 8 singing on the stage.....later on all of us hold a lantern cause we are told to walk one round....i was hlding a lantern but gave to my dad which make him hold two because i need to push his wheelchair.....he cant walk long distance....after one round all of us went back to our tables and dinner was served....it was great....the people just wait for the food to be served because its inconvenient for them which is why the volunteers bring the food to the table....i wanted to grab my own but the volunteers kept asking what i want....im so not used to it..cause its a buffet and usually its self service but that night was different....they will go to each table and ask is anything else you all want....the whole night was just performance like singing, dancing and lucky draws at the end...

during the eating time, the chairman organise whispered thank you to me....im glad that i helped out his speech...feel so good when i helped someone whose in need of help....i was amazed by this few disabled people who can sing....thou all were oldies song...but i just took two person singing...the rest i did not...im so proud of my dad who made this event successfully...oh ya and not to forget the committees too im also proud of them....but one thing they should put mini ramp instead of stairs....cause some of the disabled have difficulties going up the stage.....i was very lost because when they give out thier speech i don understand what they are trying to achieve and all was in Chinese...yes...theres English speech but that one i helped out so i know what is it....i also want to say a BIG thanks to those people who donated....bless you all....anyway that night i was busy taking photos so called the camera girl....here are the pictures....=)
