Someplace I Cannot Go.....
Continue from... (Everyday Is New Creation.....)
During my recovery time I used to push my wheelchair every morning and evening. I try to win-off my helper to following around. So I try to go out alone and face all the difficulty by myself. I took risk to go out by myself. During when I go out alone, so many people are offering help to me. It is beautiful part of human being I experiences.
Mostly women are offering help and some even angry on me when I refuse to received their offer. So I learned something that when anyone offer help, just received and say thank you to them will solve the problem. If not they will feel bad and I also feel sad after I saw their reaction. Sometime when I really need help, it was very difficult time for me to get right person.
Many of people are refuse to help me. They just smile and walk away and ignore. May be they scare to touch me because of my appearance with urine bag and big stomach. They might worry that I might have some disease or occur another issues and blame them. Yet at the vend someone always appear and get help that we need.
Especially when I buying something, most of the shop-keeper are willing to help, start from picking up the items and paying money and returning the change into my willet. After my adventure tip by my selves alone, I get more confident by myself.
But my difficulty to go out alone is going up to the slope and going down from the slope. To push up the slope was very hard for me because when I push my wheelchair, it can tip over and I can’t continue to push. Wheelchair will roll-back and I can flip over and fall.
When I going down from the slope, my hand cannot grip on my wheelchair push-rim when wheelchair is increase the speed and I might need to band something to stop my wheelchair. If anyone front of me I will lost my control on my wheelchair and either run over the person feet or collide with the person.
Although Singapore is disable friendly, some of the place I cannot go alone. Because some of the place have small step to clear and I can get stuck and cannot continue my journey. And also some of the street between the curb lines and the buildings are very stiff ramp and for the wheelchair user cannot go up to pavement, or footpaths.

Nice try better life bro. Fighting
i am blessed that i have two different life before i die.
Life is tired , but we are trying living. Fighting my brother.
sometime it fun and we can learn what is human are.
Yes, Singapore is trying to be disabled friendly, but there are still places which can be difficult for people in wheel chair. But never mind, go to the places that are easy for you first. Slowly when you build up strength, then you can tackle the steep ramps. I am happy that there are people who always lend a helping hand. Sometimes people can be 'too helpful' making you feel uncomfortable. But you were right. Just accept their help and say thank you. It makes them happy that they are able to happy somebody. By letting them help, you make them happy, so let them help.
Sometimes people don't help maybe because they don't know how to help and maybe because they are afraid that you don't want their help. If you really need help just ask, I am sure people will help if you ask.
Have a great weekend.
yes, sometime people are too helpful. just need to enjoy the moment. so that we can have fun.
