Top 3 things i would love to do all by myself, with the accompaniment of my family.

Hey guys, as you guys may know that I’m a disabled teen. I don’t get to experience many things. But if I could walk, there are so many things I want to do in life. Here are the top 3 things I would want to do if I was a normal teenager.

  3. Go to USS

The thing I would love to do if I was a normal teen is to go to Universal studios Singapore, to try out the roller coasters there. Both of my siblings went before they shared many stories about it. I feel happy for them but sometimes I ask myself “When is it going to be my turn to go to that awesome place?” Well I’m pretty sure that day will come someday, as they say, “ Good Things come to those who wait.” So I just have to keep waiting for that day to come. I would love to see the day when I’m sitting on the roller coaster and feel the wind blowing on my hair.  

2. Go on shopping spree with family

Now I’m not saying I don’t do this, I always do this during my school holidays. What I’m saying is my mum & Dad always look for what they want. By the time I start looking for my stuff we have to leave. If I could walk I would tell my mum “ Bye Mum I’m going to look at the latest watches, meet you later!” I could spend 1 to 2 hours in all of the watch shops in the mall if I wanted too.

1.Go on an overseas trip with family

The number one thing I would love to do if I could walk is to go for an overseas trip with my family. I’ve only been on an airplane once in my life and that was when I was 2 years old, I would love to ride an airplane again. If I could pick the place for our family trip it would be Europe because it’s such a wonderful place. I would eat at the Gordon Ramsay restaurant.

If I had one wish it will be to walk but I was born like this what can I do about it? I believe that I was given legs that don’t work in exchange for my good looks HA HA. See you :)       

The power of Social Media

Social media is so widely used these days. I think it’s great for people like me because I can keep in touch with family and friends without having to go anywhere, I can just sit in front of my laptop and start chatting with my family and friends. Before I found out about Facebook, Twitter and whatsapp the only way I could communicate was by calling or meeting the person face to face to talk, there are 2 reasons why I dislike the 2 things I have just mentioned 1. Talking on the phone for long hours will make your bill high and you are talking out loud and everyone will know what you are talking about. 2. Going to meet the person- If I didn’t want to call I would have to meet the person, which is tiring for me and my parents to travel all the way just to tell that person that one piece of info. Now that most of us have whatsapps or facebook it’s ease to share info.

Social media is also an awesome way to remember events. Sure you can take pictures and save them on your computer but what if your computer breaks down the next day? If you upload the pictures onto any social network it’s going to be there forever, for you to remember and cherish the event.

Me and my extended family very rarely meet up but now when we meet up we have something to talk about. Let’s say my cousin just got back from an overseas trip and if he or she talks about it on facebook, we can ask things like “ Hey how was your trip?”  We start talking about it. Social networking is great but nothing is better than doing things as family and friends in real life because real relationships are what keep us close. J
