Singing Blind In Singapore
Do you like this story?
Posted on Saturday, November 8, 2008
Yesterday, I have decided not to post anything in my blog. I was literally exhausted from blogging. It's just toxic to maintain four blogs. Anyway, I'm back with some new posts.
This afternoon I was in Sembawang. I was surprised with this singing blind lady with her blind guitarist. I was so impressed by her performance of "Breathless" by "The Corrs" and "No One" by Alicia Keys that I filmed her four other songs. She can sing and she's magnificent. I really admire handicapped people that do something about their condition. It is the first time that I saw a handicap singing current songs. This blind singing lady made me smile and happy.
Anyway, after their last song, I was able to ask the name of the singing blind lady. Her name is Wa Yee. She was nice that she asked where I'm from. I told her that I'm from the Philippines. I think she likes Filipinos since she was smiling and had joyous remarks. I was also able to get her number. If you want to help her out or you want her to perform, leave a comment so I can give her number.
Here is Wa Yee's version of Joan Osborne's What If God Was One Of Us.

That was amazing that despite her blindness, still she was able to find other way to enjoy life by singing to others. Indeed, everything has its purpose.

Aren't they a lot better than those just ask for money putting their palms up and waiting for people to give them some.
I don't know how to be blind but I know that it is hard. Sometimes being handicapped doesn't mean that you will be useless or can't do anything for yourself.
Maybe is she's not blind, she can be a Singaporean singer.
