Do you ever appreciate everything we have in life?

It was just some random questions that has been going on in my mind lately. Since everything is a very general term, I would like to narrow it down to appreciate our pair of eyes. Well, just want to share what I experienced lately.

Recently, I went to Singapore Association for Visually Handicapped (SAVH) because that was part of my CCA events, I think. I am there to teach them how to play ukulele (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele - for those who do not know what is ukulele) I can't deny that it was actually difficult to teach them as they can't see. I have to hold their hands to feel the strings, chords and parts of ukulele. Explaining and repeating to make sure they understand.

As they went home and came back 2 weeks later, I noticed a man or guy who is same age as me. Shafiie is the one who taught him to play ukulele. He was bigger size compared to me who is small size. He can sing and played the ukulele very well. I can say, it was way better than me. Recently, we chat to know more about each other and so on. He asked me a question in malay:

him: Syahrum, do you listen to Misteri Jam 12(is a radio programme at 12 midnight)?

me: no. why?

him: do you want to listen to the song?

me: umm.. ok.

(well, I can't really remember all but this is what I can remember)

And so, he sang. I was really amazed or what. I was amazed as it was very good. He is very talented. If only he joined the Singapore Idol or some talent contest, I will support him.

From this event, I learned to appreciate those small stuff I always took for granted. I am not trying to be boostful or what but just want to share. I sympathise or whatever vocabulary that can be used to describe it. They can't see but they got the enthusiasm to learn something which really touches my heart.

Well, that is all that I want to share with all of you for now. (;
