(I don't wanted to Roy to quit at the our company, but he don't like our boss, Charles due to personally conflicting between him and Roy. Because Roy learned from Western and Chinese Tradition of the their belief. He graduated at University of Texas longhorn in Austin, Texas. He mentioned me that he was passed by the Texas Deaf school mostly times. I noticed, Roy has a open mind as himself as can as learn different thing to do. He learned some of Sign language himself by the internet and some learn from me. BRAVO of him! Roy wrote this e mail this morning about 11 30am for farewell!)

It took more than 30 years, 100,000 dollars and a lot of convincing, but the late martial arts legend finally got the recognition his legions of fans worldwide feel he deserves with the monument in Hong Kong, the city that made him famous.(AFP/Philippe Lopez)

City Harvest

Last Saturday afternoon at 4pm, my wife, our baby, and I went to City Harvest at Expo for Xmas church and performance. My wife was busy with our baby at nursey school where the babies stay with their moms at one room. I went to church with my hearing friends, I was surpised to see Ken Lai, Saul and one deaf friend came to see our church . I watched the beauiful performance about relate to Jesus's born for an hours and 30 mins lecture about the save the jesus. I have had diffutcult time to live in Singapore due to different culture and personally problem. I am trying to do is improvement my own self confidence and try to reduced angry. I wanted to improvment to do training at martial arts schoool, which it helps me to improvement myself and started to training on first week of November at www.kuenculture.com, and every time, I finished training, next day, i work at my company, i turn to be happy. Bcs of reduce the stressful. If i dont training at martial arts school very often, I will turn to grumpy person. I think, i should be stick to training at Martial arts school.

back to this topic, so the pastor named Rev.Kong Hee asked someone to come to front on his stage to improvement based on my faith. The interpreter, Jac Chan(not superstar jackie chan) knew that I have a personal problem, so she suggest me to go to meet Rev. Kong Hee. I said, ok! so I came to his stage. I pray for myself for few mins. then Rev Kong Hee was doing hand shake to four people and he knew that i am deaf due to saw an interview with me. He was doing hand shake to me. I said, " thank you" he uses sign language " HI, I am happy with you and happy lord with you!" his sign langauge was not bad, i am pretty surpised he knows sign language . he has one older brother and oldest sister who are deaf. I just guess that Rev Kong dont know a lot of sign langauge, he proves me wrong. I am really glad that Rev Kong knows Sign Language. KEEP IT UP SIGN LANGUAGE FOR REV KONG HEE!

Let's me say about Graphic Design in Florida. I had been interview for graphic design about 5 times from Jan 2000 to May 2000. My mind said " do my BFA degree worth to me to get graphic design job?" or due to my deafness? I knew that mostly Floridian people dont really aware about ADA law due to no one gives a leture about ADA law in Florida, so I decided to apply at FSDB as a resident aide or Teacher aide. In few days later, I got a e mail from Karla Knight, who was superivor at Elementary School at FSDB , so I got a job for Temp job and one year later, I got perm job for four years. Later on, I quitted my job on Feb 1st.

When I got a job as a web design and photo library at www.chinaknowledge.com by interview the deaf manager named Mick Loh and recommended by Wan See, who is Web Master and web programmer. She is best friend with my wife. I got a chance to work there from Nov 7th to now. In very recently, my mind says, " it is worth to have my college degress as a graphic design and photography! and thanks to WAN SEE!!!!!

My wife's boss offered me to drink red wine. when I drank the red wine, I knew it is expensive wine. I told my wife s boss that OZ's wine is best of all than America's wine. My wife ate a Japanese green tea pie, i asked her " is it very good for green tea pie?" she noddled her head says " yes" so I got Japanese green tea pie and red wine. it was perfect taste for "two in one". It was really really YUMMY!


on Dec 17th, I went to 2nd anniversity of bowling. The bowling is two block of the muslim mosquie(church). I went there for doing a volunteer. I showed up at 11am, I was supposed to be there at 9 am, but I wanted to have a more hours sleep and spend time with my son. When I got a there at 11am and just a start to competation, I noticed there is not really organize at all due to lack of communication from a deaf person who is responsible at bowling events and seminar camp. that s why a person is alot of busy and do earrands. so I helped to Ken Lai for bowling event. There have 12 bowling lanes for singaporean and Malaysian bowlers. I met one guy who was coming from vietnam. I told him that My father was war with viet cong(bad vietnamese group) in Vietnam war(1965 to 1968???) My father is still refused to come to Singapore due to asian southeast and really near to Vietnam. I told him i cannot blame on him. He asked me if i am scared to travel to other place or vietnam, i told him , NO, I am not scare go there; however, I will travel to Vietnam to see the real life of the war. I also travelled over 12 differents countries. We had only chatting for 15 mins. Because he had to go to tour bus for ahead to Sentosa and I had to help my friend for bowling events. ciao!
