Suddenly I remembered this song... haa... well.. when I was on holidaez in Shanghai three months ago, there was a girl with dull syndrome in our tour. She was 14 years old, but she looked as though she was 9 years old. As in her appearance and development as a girl.. :p

Ya.. n of coz with the dull syndrome she was not extremely bright. But.. well.. I say I find her smart. Haa... she always entertain us with her songs and stuff... mimicking William Hung n ya.. she even offered me a seat while on the ferry ride in Shanghai. Once, she gave me a sweet too. Her mum says she likes me. Haha... yeah.. I m loveable. (=^.^=) I still remembered her mum told mi that when she listened to this song "Nobody's Child" she would cry.

Wow... but thaz not all. There was one conversation between her mum n her which struck mi till now. You know what.. haa.. it wets my eyes when I heard the conversation eh... coz her mum was like talkin to mi on the ferry about her.. the girl gave the seat to me n her mum n her were talkin to me.... It goes like this....

Mum: Are you a special child?
Girl: No. I'm not.
MuM: Yes. You are. You have a disease. What disease do you have?
Girl: I have the dull syndrome. (well.. it sorts of surprise mi when her mum asks her this n she replies the dull syndrome.)
Mum: Yes dear. You have the dull syndrome. But are you stupid?
Girl: No. I am not stupid. I am willing to learn.
Mum: Yes. You are willing to learn. You are more willing to learn than other kids dun you?
Girl: Yes. I am willing to learn. (started dancing ard again)

Well.. I think it is sort of inspiring to hear the conversation. Esp when the girl replied I'm willing to learn, I'm realli touched. (luckily we were on the ferry at night, bet nobody saw. LoL~) How many of us have the strength shown by her? We always thought of ourselves as more unfortunate than others. But there are those who are not in as good a condition as us and are tryin hard to lead a good life.

Yeah.. guess I sounds emotional here... haa... Aniwae her mum left mi a namecard (she thought I was workin or sth... ) Haizz... but I dun think I will see this special girl again. N by "special" I mean that I REALLY find her special. Inspiring and admirable...

THE SONG: Nobody's Child

As I was slowly passing
an orphan's home one day,
I stopped for just a little while
to watch the children play.

Alone a boy was standing
and when I asked him why,
he turned with eyes
that could not see
and he began to cry.

I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child.
Just like the flowers I'm growing wild.
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child.

No mummy's arms to hold me
or soothe me when I cry,
cos sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die.
I'll walk the streets of heaven
where all blinds can see.
And just like all other kids
there'd be a home for me.
