A funny experience of being a visually impaired person...

During the end of my semester 7, we had a briefing in the Uni regarding the preparations that we have to for semester 8. Because my vision was so horrible, I had to sit right in front, but when I went into the class, all the students were sitting quite high up and the lecturer was in the process of projecting his slides on the projector. As I walkied up the stairs to choose a higher seat, I realized suddenly there is a very very bright light shining at me, as if i was walking into 'the light'...hahaha, little did I know that I was walking into the light of the projector!!! The lecturer must be quite shocked why I am blocking the screen...luckily i quickly move aside after realizing what I had done and quickly took the nearest seat available. At that time, I feel very depressed, because I knew that my vision has deteriorated again because I was unable to read what was on the slides at all but only manage to see shadow. Nevertheless, I went thru the whole session, and I realize, if I can't learn from my eyes, I'll have to depend on my other senses. I just hope that visual aids are more widely available here in malaysia. Are there no visually impaired people in malaysia???
