speechless...

if there is one time i can make good use of this word..then definetely this is the moment..

1 week ago i had the chance to witness the rehearsal and actual performances by the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe or also known by their team's name My Dream. To me it was definetely a very special opportunity to actually get the chance to be part of this whole program and witness these blessed artists perform such an amazing piece of work on stage..i wonder if i will ever get the chance again..

First and foremost, i think the biggest question that was left playing in our minds after watching the show was to ask ourselves, who's the actuall handicapp....me or them?

i believe that not only me, but the entire hall would agree that the spectacular performances by these talented souls made us truly realize the ability within us. it made us realize that we are so far left behind as compared to them in utilizing the strength that we have within us as humans..

frankly speaking..disability wasnt even an issue there, they were far off more confident and capable of handling everything by themselves perfectly fine..if not even better than most of us. it made me wonder if even a person with no disabilities can even do such a stunning performance as perfectly as them...it was definetely an eye-opener show for the audience..thanks to them for making us realize how handicapped we are.




the show

initially we were worried that we might not be able to sell all the tickets for each nite's show as the sales were going a bit slow..but on the day of the first show (Saturday), amazingly the ticket sales started picking up and within no time the entire hall which could accomodate almost 2000 over audience was almost full.

the audience were left speechless as they artists started their performances one after the other..they clapped and clapped and clapped as loudy as they could every few minutes to let the artists know how meaningful is their effort to us. one of the most touching performance was by a blind singer, Yang Haijun. he sang a song titled "When a child is born" with his fabulous voice which was so beautiful and could bring tears to the eyes of the listener.

the most interesting part to be noted was the perfect syncronization of the music and the artist's dance steps when the artists were actually unable to hear the music. so it makes us wonder how much effort and training needed to be done by them in order to understand the dance moves according to the music which they cant hear..truly their trainers have done a wonderful job.

and not forgetting the malaysian performers from various organizations who also took part in the event and gave equally remarkable performances which made us all wonder the gift God has given them and how they fully utilize it to show their appereciation towards their creator.

the second day show also had a huge turnout and almost all the seats were filled. thanks to the media's highlight on the 1st day's performance, many people were eager to come and watch it on the second day.

the audience could not stop applauding and all the artists received a very long standing ovation by the audience at the end of the show.

the effort they have painstakingly put in order to bring the realization to us about our own stregth would have definetely reached the audience..i believe this show would have woke many of us up from our deep slumber of laziness and arrogance of how great we are.

little did we realize that somewhere in the corner of the earth..some special people are far more ahead of us..


**note : all that i've written here is solely based on my opinions and views alone ;) and ohh..i must admit that all of the artist are really really good looking u know..we were rushing to take pics with them..:P
