Deaf Soccer team

I am member of the football (soccer) in the deaf team. I was arguing with Jaffa about return the uniform for two weeks late. He has a bad cocky attudute to me about this sms. I dont really appreciate this situation when we were arguing over the sms. Next day, I went to his office at his work place. We got biggest arguement about this reason. Jaffa and I were really angry each other and he was sick of my smart talking to him, and agurement on the paper from write back to forth. somehow, I decided to talk to his boss for what happen about his attuiduate. I explained to his boss as well as he needs to know what s going on, but I can read his boss's eyes that he seems alittle laugh on his mind and be cool with me. I can tell that he is good friend with Jaffa. You can read this diaglog from his boss while he talked to me. read this below.
April 22nd 2005
the diaglog to his boss:
boss: what do you need?
me: I showed him a paper of the jaffa's sms.
boss: are you captain?
Me: noddle my head says NO.
me:I was trying to given Mushin (captain of the deaf team) for return the uniform. Unfortunty, he was not able to meet me twice due to not make to mee me on his time and my time. but Jaffa got mad at me and he was threating on me to not be on the team again.
me:I dont like Jaffa's attuidude. I am trying to make a deal with him.
boss: I am not too sure the reason for his behavior but I will ask him.
boss: how late are you?
Me: two weeks
boss: he is probably angry with you.
me: I am trying to do is return the uniform, so I was trying to explain him but he was cussed on me. He(JAFFA) just needs to say " please come here to see me at my office"
boss: everyone is angry now - Jaffa and you can get done if you both are angry, wait for 1/2 days and maybe try to approach him.
boss: do you have a training this weekend?
me: nope, Jaffa decided not to have a deaf training anything more that was 1.5 month ago. I don't understand why he stopped too long, so He says, he will have a training again sooner, I dont know when it will be starting again. In the professional situation, he needs to be calm down and be polite to me.
boss: I am not too sure if he needs to explain anyting to anyone form what I know he is getting paid right
boss: I will talk to him no promise... if there is a reason i will try to find out
boss: both of you just cool down first ok we dont taken it to hear it.
me: can I ask you personal question? does he say" Fuck you" in his voice on you?"
boss: alittle smile on his mouth.
boss: its the personal nature.
boss: there is a fuck in almost every sentense
boss normally, it is not serious but when he gets angry... like now geuss he uses it more forcefully.
boss: he is an ok guy ... he may have his reasons for shouting at you. like i said.... until we know the reasons, no point jumping to conclusions let s thing cool down and then we can discuss things. after that, I left his boss's office and Jaffa's office, I looked at Jaffa's face. he did not look at me or nothing repond. I knew the boss is winkle on his eyes to Jaffa, so I decided to do "evendrop" on the window. I saw Jaffa was alaugh at his boss due to " I am stupid" and I came back to his office again, and I was standing and watch jaffa was talking to his boss. I KNEW IT! his boss will not blaw on him. When jaffa was looking at me, and shocking to see me to stand right there. my head was look like cocky and my head says " what s up" then Jaffa asked me to come to talk him and started to nice me. Jaffa asked me if I wanted to get back to deaf training again for soccer? I said, what would I do in soccer team?" he was explaining me about soccer team. I noddled my head slowly like a cocky. then we got better to talk eachother. I am sure Jaffa realized that I am not MUTE AND STUPID!

Kelly Slater won at Tahiti for Billbong Contest.

Today, I was feeling better that I don't work at March'e. My body needs to be relax and eat four meals a day. My wife noticed that My boardshort was on me, and it seems loosing. My wife said, my body cause from loosing the weight from work. I noddled my head " yes"

Let's talking about my baby. When I was speaking to my baby. I said " kazu". my baby was turning to be really smile and happy to hear my voice. I was really surprised that he noticed my familar voice. In few days ago, My wife and her sister went to see the doctor. My baby is normal. I would like to show you of my baby's chart.

Anyway, I was popped into my mind about surf contest at Tahiti, so I looked this web url. I was shocking that Kelly Slater won this movement of the Billbong Contest again. He did winning this contest in two or three years ago. Kelly Slater may be prove me wrong about his frusting of the winning contest. I am sure that he will turn to be confident to do winning surfing contest this year. Right now, he is third place for WCT surfing touring.

his board was worth to be winning by shaper, Al merrick.

At my work, March'e

Yesterday, I ate five meals a day. I went to bed at 3am. bcs I arrived from work at 1 30am, took a shower and few earrands. Today, I woke up at 11am, I got feeling better and feel alittle more energy.

Yesterday, I work at March'e. I was mad at co workers: Let's me explain to you. One reason was when I was really hungry for dinner at 9pm while I am doing break time for 20 mins. I asked co worker to give me a pay ticket for food. my co worker(off duty) said, I cannot do that. I dont pay attention to him. I asked my team leader, Sherrin. she said, I cannot do that and only for weekend. then I started to write a paper, I noticed my co worker( off duty) laughed at me. I asked him " why are you laughed at me?" with my palm hand, and My face expressional was really mad at him. the off duty was stopping laughed at me. I started to write a paper says " I lost 10 Kg" Sherrin seems feel bad. I told her "that s okay" I decided to run from March'e to food court. I was pretty hurry to eat for my dinner. then go to back to work for only 20 mins.

Second reason was when I was finish up to work at 1145pm Our co workers came in for good bye party for Patricia and other girl.(both women are from phippline) They are doing last day of the work. They had a good bye late dinner. My mind said, great! I had a five meals a day!! I ate pizza, and fish with spiniash. I sat at the chair. I chatted with patricia in Sign Language. Raj was bother me for communiation with her. I told Raj, pls do not bother me.. then I was ready to talk her again, then Raj rude to me while he was talking to patricia. I told him(gesture sign langauge) , " pls do not bohter me and it is not polite to rude our communication." then I saw patrica told him"that s rude" then I was talking to Patricia again, few mins later, Raj rude me again! I was alittle mad and speaking to him a little louder " Hey, what I said?" Raj was gettting a embassment bcs our co workers know that Raj is cocky. Raj was alittle cover up to talk to other person. I told him "thumb up" my mind said, whatever.

my health

Today is my first slip work from March'e. I am not really happy to be work there due to three differents time. I have been hardly to catch my dinner time during my work time. For example, If I have a spit time from 12pm to 2pm and 6pm to 12am. I woke up from bed at 10am and get ready for shower and eat my small breakfast. then I had been catch for the lunch like at 2 30pm. I took a nap for like an hour from 5pm to 6pm. Where is my dinner time? that s why I did not catch the time for dinner. My stomach doctor told me that I must eat three or four meals a day. I have had been loosing my weight for about 10 kg. It is not good for my body. I dont feel well pretty often and I dont feel good as before. I also felt that I don't fonus on my body and baby. I decided to quit my job on may 31th, and get ready for do my earrands: USA Embassy, Driver License, add up for my baby's middle time at ICA, and work out at marital arts school.

You will see my photos. Three days ago, when I got off from work at 4pm. I had a chance to play my baby and see my baby's happy face for an hour and half. I was really happy to have time with my baby and talked to my wife about rest of her day. I like to work from 8 am to 4pm. I do really miss my job(teacher aide) very much. I wanted to have my baby to communication with my parents in law, so when we will move to USA in few years later. I wanted to have my baby would able to communication on the web cam or on the telephone. By the way, my parents in law would be happy to communication with my baby. That s why I need to be patient for getting a happiness and get a good job on July or Aug.

three different shift of the March'e

I decided to quit my job(June 5th) due to loose my weight about 7kg and it is not good for my stomach. If I am loosing weight that mean, I will have a problem with my stomach in the future, which my doctor told me to do watch the weight all the time.

Last Sunday,my parents are concerned about Ken's health and happiness.They spoke to my elder sister about it and she interpreted to me in the morning while ken was sleeping that time.They don't want to bother Ken's sleeping.Dad was angry with Ken's supervisor cuz' Ken's working hours are not good time like 12-2pm & 6pm-12am,then 8am-4pm,then 2pm-10pm, 12-8pm.He thought that his supervisor (team leader) bullied ken due to his deafness.He thought of approaching his team leader but dropped it cuz' I told him that Ken plans to quit his job this june and he got his friend's sister who is waiting for him to start another job at restaurant.Yes,my parents are worried that ken is not happy with his job and that's why they try to help him. (this wife wrote this stories to my mum)

I told my wife about this, The team leader had to do this for schedule to Malay-Singaporean and foregin, but not to Chinese people. Our co workers are a lot of Malay-Singaporean. Our co workers are from Singapore, Malaysian, and Phippline. I am only one from USA.

Smarter or Mute worker (deaf people must to read this stories)

Let' s me explain about this. Some of Co worker was testing on my hearing, if I can hear or not. They also testing on me, if I am mute or smart. I will show you list of the testing on me.

A washer woman, who think that Deaf people cannot talk meant "MUTE" bcs she asked me if I cannot speak in english or Chinese. I was speaking in Chinese " I am not stupid" with movement of my hand. She was shocking that I can speak some of chinese and english, so I decided to show her article of the Chinese newspaper about Deaf workers at KFC in Singapore. The article says, deaf people are not MUTE or DUMB. I showed her about this. " look this newspaper" she said, no! I was puzzled, I realized that she cannot read Chinese langauge, only speak in madrian langauge. so I asked younger chinese man to interpreter for her about newspaper. He told her about the newspaper. A washer woman says something to not agreement what newspaper said. ( I had seen her body langauge) A younger chinese man told her that deaf people are not dumb. A Younger chinese man told me that eldest woman dont know and lousy.... with thumb down! I told him dont worry about it.


A washer woman was asking me," how can I hear the horn during the driving?"(gesture Sign Language) I showed her " look at this light, it can be off and on for signal" She was gulping! that is simple to do showing.

My younger co worker named Raj, who was testing on me for hearing. When he speaks up on me. My eyes was caught him by his raising voice and co worker looked at me in same time. I was angry at him. " hey, dont do that again this" with my finger point to him(raising my alittle high voice) I also told him, "I saw you on my own eyes and not my ear" Raj stopped and gulping. In few hours later, he earned my respect due to help me to do work with other thing to do. he realized that I am smarter.

My other co worker is almost same my age. His name is Anba. He is india. He was cocky on me to fetch on me to go to meeting with team leader. He was share on my eyes for no reason. I was soooo mad at him to do this. I kept share on his eyes and ready to get into the fight with our face expressional. then he realized that I am not a weak person. he turned to funny expressional face. my mind says, okay, paddle on his shoulder.. let s forget.. and doing start to meeting with team leader. In few hour later, He helped me to do earrands with work, i think, he realized that I am smarter and not weak.

Other co worker, I forgot her name is. She is older and look like 50 years old. she and her friend( co worker) asked me if i am deaf or can hearing. I told her I am full of deaf and not hearing (gesture Sign langauge) She was puzzled, so I explained her " deaf people can do sing. dance or do music. She was doubt what I am saying, so I showed her how to do drumming on the table with good rythms. then I asked her to do drumming. She cannot do drumming, so she realized that deaf people can do drumming. I explained her to dont look down on deaf people.

I went to upstair by the left with garage from work. I put it away and trying to taken garage can for recyle of the bottle. Somehow, security eldest man asked me " why dont you hear me" I told him. I am deaf and do touch my tap my shoulder. He was a little cocky toward to me. I called him " you stupid" he was angry with me and started to begun agurment with me.. I cannot remember to speak to him bcs I was angry with him and share on our eyes contract really bad. I think, he said, "I am going to call cop" then I was walked out away from him. In the few days, we got forgettten what happen about this.

My mind says, " OH man, The some of Singaporean people are behind for Deaf people due to no one is doing leture to given them a education about disablities or deaf people around the community!"
