Settling In 29 March 2006

It has been almost 1 month that I haven’t updated my blog. I have been busy with settling down in my new job. Meanwhile, I managed to cope well with my other commitments.
Alright, I’m very happy with my new job. However, I face conflicts with my two colleagues. One of them is my supervisor. Although he is friendly, I do not like him. He keeps on saying to me, “You cannot hear”. And this phrase sounds so insulting that I can get angry inside of me.
One time when it comes to using correct terms for people with special needs, he stated the term “Deaf” as the incorrect way of calling people with hearing loss. I explained to him about the interchangeable terms “Deaf”, “Hard of Hearing” and “Hearing-Impaired” and they can be used. Instead of making some changes, he corrected the term “Deaf” to “Hearing-Impaired”. What the *?%#??!
I told him again when he gave me the paper. He refused to listen. WHAT THE *?%# IS THAT??!!! Alright, I won’t talk further about this. Anyway, I will think of my solutions to solve my conflicts at work. It’s indeed a good life experience for me!
Therefore, I do not like to involve myself much with these work politics. As for the job, I hope that I can learn as much as I can before I go for my music studies next year.
Looking Up and Good 5 March 2006

I can say, my things are looking up and good since my Singapore Idol 2004 participation. Slowly, I will reach my dream one day.
Alright, my work at the Joy Place has been doing fine. Gained some experiences day by day. My job scope seems to be a lot, however I enjoy doing it. In a such way, I’m glad to understand other disabilities better.
Guess I do not need to have the SPED qualifications for that. Having work experiences is better than having that paper! Well, many people are looking at my disability on the top of it, rather than looking at paper qualifications. But experiences may matter the most. Anyway, I’m not going for that SPED qualifications. I have my own plans for myself: to be a Deaf international performer.
Now, I’m gonna damn busy with my own things. I have set myself a daily schedule so that things will go smoothly. And at least, I will achieve something small or big.
GOD, bless me…
