Braille on the Beach

It was a charity / fund raising event organised by St. Nicholas Home (a non-profit organization serving the needs of visually disabled), along with Disted College, and supported by the Penang Island Municipal Council. I actually took part in the Braille sand-sculpturing competition which involves in making a Braille word in the form of dots by using sand on the beach and each dot is specified in sizes. The purpose of the game was to create greater public awareness on blindness and promote knowledge Braille in the context of fun and games at the beach to sighted people. 



Maybe it was too early... (I woke up at 5.30am, damn)


Finally a brighter sky :D


Preparation work going on.


Disted Psychology Club members! Took a group photo before start of the the event.

Wandering around before the competition  started. 


With my twin sister :)


Doggie footprints spotted. So cute ^^


Aerobic exercise at the beach! Tips: Exercise is more effective on sandy ground.





Brian the chatter-box.



Nicholas who hates to appear in photos. 


Discussing about what words we were going to "braille".


Almost done! I was doing the "sand-smoothing" job.


FINALLY DONE after 2 hours!  Did you notice 2 of us using the same pose for the 3 photos?


Light in darkness.





Shu Yon found this starfish when she was washing off the sand on her hands using the sea water. It was still alive at that time!

They were entertaining the crowd with a rousing dance performance.  Actually the emcee asked ALL Disted students to get on the stage to perform the dance but many of us were quite shy la *blush blush* so... lol

Brian, the destroyer. He destroyed our hard work :(


Okay. I was just posing :D


A little sad when seeing all the "sand-dots" being destroyed.
