Talking Watch Low Vision

does anyone know where to buy talking watches ( watches tat announce time, its specially fer blind/low vision ppl ) in singapore? i know other countries do sell these but where to find in sinapore? i've already ask all those reowned watch shopes but no one ever seem to know.

you can try calling the Association for the Blind, staff there may know where to get it. I have seen a visually impaired person using a device attached to his belt that can announce the time for him. Maybe that helps?

www.sightconnection.com demonstrates their one button talking watch, which is great for people with vision loss.

Please don't rant about how crazy I am, and I must warn you this is long and very detailed. This all happened in a matter of about 10-20 minutes, and my eyes were closed. I WAS COMPLETELY CONSCIOUS. I was talking to one of my friends in person. I heard my TV going in the background and everything. I know I wasn't dreaming; tears were streaming down my face and I was still talking when I opened my eyes and I was still on the phone. I was awake, trust me.
So this is how it starts;

I see a very low fence like thing that had a big stone and tall grass behind it. It was on a hill or valley; it goes dip, hill, then another dip. About five steps in front of the fence is a house with a tan border and a tan-brown like roof, and the house was white. In the far-dip valley like thing is another house; it's grayish white and two little girls were playing on the left side of it (right side from my view). The house on the hill had a shotgun laying in the grass, and I later realized the 'fence' was actually like a poorly built track for horses or something, and had two brown horses in it. There was also a man. He was a tall, African man who was very muscularly built. He had on a light brown jumper like thing, and a orange cut-off sleeved shirt. The whole time he wouldn't turn around. At first I got a very mysterious vibe about him. As my view changed, I now saw the front of the house. It had a small window in the front and a gray door on the left side. For some reason, I felt like the year was either 1889 or 1918. But anyway, as I turn vision I see the man; he has a very broad jaw-line and a long, rounded nose. First I thought he was related to me because of the nose, but his was alot longer. His eyebrows were wrinkled up like he was thinking of something or frustrated. As I saw him more, I felt really scared or confused, frustrated, mad, upset and sad..
There was something wrong.
The more he stared at me, the more I got scared. I started crying, saying that he didn't want me there (I was talking to my friend while I was crying and describing everything, and literally said "He doesn't want me here, I think I did something to him") Then I see the two little girls. The first one was wearing a blue dress with a white bow that tied in the back. For some reason I think she was about seven. Then it was a small red-head girl in a yellow dress and she was either four or five. They both gave me the same stare the man did, but their's wasn't as harsh. They looked more afraid. I felt helpless, like I didn't know what to do to make them happy or something. But the man stayed in the track thing for a while, just plowing the grass or raking something? It was a really pretty landscape. I turn around and see all the trees in the back. It was a really dark area and I remember thinking "Something's happened there.." The man starts looking to the other side, and I see a church. It felt really sad and depressing, so immediately I thought a funeral. Then I said it was a funeral for a female. I turn my attention back to him and it felt like I was saying "Why aren't you there?!" The man throws his tool down and goes inside. The inside of the house is really basic, nothing special or peculiar about it. He starts pacing in a hallway and I sit there and watch him. It was like I was asking him what I was supposed to do and he tells me "I want you to leave me alone, woman!" For some reason, I have a strong feeling the woman's name was Anna Mae.I wasn't Jasmine, the person I am now. And this Anna Mae woman was extremely tough. She wasn't afraid of hurting this man and in some sick way she got a thrill from making him mad. She was frightened by him but didn't want it to show. I (Jasmine) started crying as soon as I saw him. There's something really scary about him. I (Anna Mae) kept saying he was a real malicious, clever person. Like he was really manipulative and evil. I feel like his name was Lucifer, or Leon. But it reaaally feels like Lucifer. As the day got darker "Anna Mae" became more scared. As her, I felt like he was going to hurt me, or do something to me. I then felt something really disturbing..my attention turned to the shotgun and I started to cry hysterically and kind of hypervinalate. My friend freaked out and asked me was I okay. I burst out "HE KILLED MY SISTER." I don't have a sister in real life, but as Anna Mae, my sister's name was Christine, and Lucifer killed her. I (Anna Mae) kept saying he either loved her or loved me. But he loved one of us yet he was trying to hurt us, and push us away. I wouldn't leave him though. I stayed there and waited until dark. I knew something was going to happen, but I was too stubborn or naive to leave. So finally he stops pacing. He runs to the front, says "I told you to leave, me, ALONE" and shoots me. I die, and I open my eyes..
I couldn't make this up if I tried.
What I felt was unbelieveable. It felt like I really was living her life, and she wasn't happy. Lucifer scared me (as Jasmine) and I didn't like him at all. He was a really evil person and I could feel it. I've never had anything like this happen to me before, but last night was the first time I felt something like a male voice whisper in my ear too.
Do you think this was a vision?
How would you explain this to someone?
I'm so scared it's going to happen again, and I don't like it at all.

Thanks in advance.
Sorry it was so long, but like I said, it was detailed.
I'm only thirteen. So any 'potential' I guess you could say with this whole seeing stuff thing could grow. I just really don't want it too, but it might.
My great grandma had dreams of certain things when people were pregnant or dead, and was always right. It's been passed down to my grandma, my mom, and my aunt. I don't really have dreams like that, but I'm really intuitive; like knowing what people are gonna say before they say it. I've had something like this happen before but it was for a nanosecond. I later saw it on TV, but I didn't really think much of it, just as a coincidence..

And I do believe in reincarnation. I write music and poetry, and often get comments about how depressing or 'experienced' it'd sound. I'm a real;ly happy person, usually optimistic. But when it comes to my creativity, it's like a different person takes over? I can't explain it, but it's like I'm not even the one writing it. If I was reincarnated, I think I used to be a woman who was betrayed somehow and had a very difficult love life..It's depressing, really.
I don't think my family is from africa or the carribean, not recently anyways. But lately, for some odd reason, all the names in my dream are from French or Latin terms. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't voodooism (sorry for terminology is misused) connected with the French? Louisianna and all. I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it..
Trust me, I've been trying to psyche myself out of what I saw all day; I thought of every possible book and movie I've seen or read, and nothing was like this. I then thought of past regression, but they saw it's like you're watching it on a TV? I was there, I was Anna Mae and I felt everything she felt. She wasn't happy and for some reason I was empathizing her emotions. I just wish I could say it didn't happen. And thanks to the guy who said I'm extremely intelligent..I think?

It is very hard to answer your question. A waking dream seems like a long stretch. A vision? I just am not sure but would like to give you a couple of things to think about.

You said there is something handed down among women in your family. Are you from another culture? Is your family recently from Africa or the Carribbean? Do they practice Vodun or Santeria?

While I hear your respect for women in your family...I have had a similar heritage, although I am white...I also hear, as I myself experienced when young...I hear fear and your reluctance to experience this again.

If you are involved in any of these religions, I want to be careful not to be disrespectful. I am going to answer as a Christian or out of the Judeo-Christian tradition. So if you are not open to this, please don't be offended but take it as it is offered...my best answer.

Lucifer is the angel who fell. The presence of Lucifer and the gun and the fear do not cause me to want you to pursue this as a religious vision.

You have a choice. You can reject this as a vision or prophesy. I see no reason for God to give you such a frightening prophesy. I would suggest that if you feel it is a vision, you say no to it in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. And then walk away without fear.

The presence of Lucifer suggests this vision, if that is what it is, is from the Christian or Jewish tradition.

There is another possibility. Could this be something frightening that really happened to you and your mind is trying to cope with it by re-living it.

I am glad your friend was on the phone with you. THis is very heavy stuff for age 13.

I will pray for your safety, whether this is emotional or spiritual in nature, and that you find the truth or that this simply never happens again.

Okay, appearently some people can't read. If you're skeptical why the hell would you waste your time even getting on this question? I'm thirteen and I don't take drugs, to the idiot who asked if I took "Shrooms". Please answer accordingly; if you don't think there's such thing, then don't answer. You're wasting your time and mine.
Thanks to those who believe me.
I'm not out for attention and this scared me to much to play "Make believe".
I'm scared to tell anyone besides close friends and family (personally, not on here) because people might think I'm being dramatic; every time I start to think about the man or what happened I start crying. I really don't like thinking about it at all but I can't stop. It could've been passed down to me finally;
What I mean is my great grandma had certain dreams when people were pregnant or dead. She was always right, always. It was passed down to my grandma, then my mom and aunt. I didn't think I would get it cause I've never had dreams like that. But I've always been really intuitive.
I appreciate everyone's concern but don't suggest a psychiatrist or therapist;
I don't need them to tell me I'm crazy and give me some pill for a disease or over-active imagination that they think I have. So that's not really an option.
I keep forgetting to put this about Lucifer, but I think it might have some meaning? When he walked inside the house I saw a diamond-shaped scar on the back of his head, and when I saw it, it was like seeing your kid fall down off their bicycle for the first time; that cautious or pity feeling? I don't know if that'll help but.

Well first of all yeah it could have been a vision. That doesnt mean its gonna happen again though. I would be scared as well if something like that went through my mind. Dreams have that same type of power as well. Im not gonna say I dont believe you I wasn't there its very possible scary. I would say though that its just a vision or dream if its not reocuring then I wouldn't put too much into it.

Also I want to let you know I just got up and turned the lights on in here lol

It was passed down to my grandma, then my mom and aunt. I don't have dreams like that, but I've always been very intuitive. For some reason I always get my grandparents or great grandparents' genes stronger than the rest of my immediate family; my great grandfather was 6'4'', and I inherited his height, although the rest of my family is fairly short. I'm also thirteen. I know that's side information, but if it helps.

Do you think this was a vision?
How would you explain this to someone?
I'm so scared it's going to happen again, and I don't like it at all.

Thanks in advance.
Sorry it was so long, but like I said, it was detailed.

Oh, and I'm not on drugs, and I'm not looking for attention. I was too afraid to be playing about this stuff. I'm just really scared it'll happen again, and I don't want it to. Please don't suggest therapy or anything, because I don't need someone to tell me I'm crazy or have an over-imagination, then give me a magic pill to calm my nerves. I know what I experienced and no one can tell me that was a dream. Surreal yes, but not a joke.
if you doubt it don't answer. i haven't read or seen anything close to what was going on in my head. as you could probably see, i'm good at recalling, and i would know if a just thought of a scene from a movie or novel.

well from ur beginning description it does seem like a vision to me but later part it seems more like a scene from a novel- hope ur not kidding around.... better ask the question in R and S ie if you are really being honest- you are likely to get better answers there...maybe discuss it with some spiritual persons; they might help you in interpreting the vision

EDIT- pardon me..there are just so many such people on YA looking for some thrill that its natural that suspicions arise even though I first believed you..shortly I will message you about a link that might help you in getting your answers.All the best

It's a series about child development. We just got the first series on netflix and it is seriously blowing my mind. Also, it has cute babies doing low-impact "experiments".

The episode we just watched talks about how in order to develop peripheral vision babies must first be able to control their own movement. There's a whole series of experiments that demonstrate this, including one in which they give babies a little car to control using a joy stick!

It also discusses when and how babies develop the ability to judge depth and height and how that affects their learning to walk. It's amazing.

Anyway, has anyone seen it? Any thoughts? Also, has anyone ever had their baby participate in a research study (legit research, not product development?) I signed my son up for some at the local university, but we haven't been called yet. It looks like fun.

I've seen bits and pieces of it. It came on Discovery Health or something, I think.

I remember one experiment where they had babies crawling out over a "visual cliff" - there was plexi-glass over a drop off, and the babies wouldn't crawl over the "edge." There was another one with babies crawling down inclines and cruising across a bar towards a gap. I thought it was really interesting, especially because my daughter was just getting to those stages when I saw it.

I would sign my kids up for a study like that. I think it's be neat to see what they can do and how their minds figure things out.
