I am a disabled. I have access to the disabled toilet. But just coz I am a disabled person, orang kurang upaya, it doesnt mean that I cant go out just like others. Yes I hobble about on my crutches and parade my oh so attractive speacial shoe, but really is it such a wonderful sight that people have to stare? First they look at my crutches then to my leg. I suppose they are just trying yo figure out the "disability" I have.. it makes me feel like getting a customised t-shirt with the words "yes, i broke my leg, the right one. now will you please stop staring?"
Chris was with me and he noticed the attention i was getting. To make me feel better he said you know, you should say to em "mau tengok? boleh.. kasi bayar!"..
the following day, my brother, muz said if I were you, I'd stare back at them and say "apa tengok-tengok?"..
My other brother, mems even goes to the extent of saying, "I'll use one of your crutches, you use one. then at least you wont feel so weird alone".. I thought that was quite sweet of him. We joked that we ought to choreograph a crutch dance, then we'd really get the attention.. and perhaps put an empty hat and the coins will start rolling in.. boy, we might even make a fortune!
I suppose due to lack of disabled facilities in this country, those whom are disabled dont go out often. Though I have been warned by faez that it is against the norm for the likes of me to be out much here, unlike in the uk. I have spent 2 months indoors. I will not be confined any further.
