Another problem…! Aarghh… Hate to face it alone…

Wanna give up… the project: Deaf Voices – the Musical…

Tired of attending every practices. I need some personal space…
I envy those who can say “I cannot make it for the practice tonight because…”

I hate to recall several events when I had to make sacrifices on my personal dreams and friends.
I lost many friends in the end. I missed most of the opportunities to achieve some of my personal goals.
Enough of lamenting here and there…

Some tell me that I’m a leader. These are predictable. I can accept it. However, these troubles/problems are really too much! Tired to hear them every day… In the meantime, I pray “No more troubles coming every day”.

Jesus, I’m leaning on You… Be here with me.

A moment when a lady sees her sweetheart off at the Changi Airport…

A moment when this couple then feels longing for each other…

A moment when they miss each other in their different locations…

A moment when they think back of their rendezvous where they spent their precious moments together…

Really a heart breaking moment when I see her crying for her loved one…!

Here, crying for them as their good friends…
Deep inside my heart, I wish this barrier would be vanished forever.
This couple is really special! It’s their love where everything is boundless! May they be blessed forever! *praying*

Attended the IS workshop organized by the DHHFS. The speaker is Mohamad Sazali Shaari from Malaysian Federation of the Deaf, KL. It’s really a good refreshing one since I last attended the WFD Youth Camp in Brisbane, Australia in 1999. Learnt most of the IS from the “whites”.

Now, little different from the ones of the “whites” because most of the IS are adapted to the Asia. The system remains the same; ~ 5-hand shapes
~ mouth movements
~ picture-picture-picture; no words usage
~ light signing
~ subject-verb grammatical structure
~ heavy usage of classifiers

*FYI: “International Sign Language (Gestuno)” shall be corrected to “International Signs (Gestuno)”.

Just came to know that Mr. Sazali was here to help prepare the deaf volunteers & participants for the upcoming event – ASEAN Deaf Camp 2007 that is scheduled from 21 November to 24 November. He guided them how to use IS on:
~ Proper greetings
~ About Singapore
~ Handling meetings and other matters such agreements (Green – Yes, Red – No, Yellow – Neutral)

For me, I was only there to learn as I like sign languages. And, I have another purpose – to share it with my friends who contribute to the deaf community.
Not only this, but I missed that chance! Dennis asked me whether I was interested about the IS Seminar conducted by Billy Moody. It was in Hong Kong. But too bad, I had my presentation ceremony where I would have marimba. They had clashed with each other. =(

Guess, I did quite badly in IS this time. Hardly using it for a quite long time since 1999. Hmm, perhaps, I can keep “skipping” (in IS translation: practising) on it. Hope that I can use IS to sign out at this event. Due to my work commitments, I am unable to participate in the camp for 4 full days. But I can attend the closing ceremony dinner since it falls on a Saturday. Also, I will be performing there. Another challenge!

JIAYOU!!

A long time that I haven’t posted anything here…

Well, you all know that I’m a busy lady. Busy as ever!

Above all, I only know that I’m working very hard for the project: Deaf Voices – the Musical. Together with a team of dedicated volunteers, we hope to see this successful achievement on 1 December! It’ll be at Civic Plaza. 5PM.
This has its blog and do check it out at http://deafvoices.wordpress.com

Hmmm, it’s confirmed that my last day with full-time admin work is on 30 Nov. I chose music over it.
Guess, I got to go back to my old, usual life: 3 part-time jobs. So now, I got to find another one since I still have 2 same jobs. I have to be more strict with my spending habits. May the Great FORCE be with me!!
