1st Singapore futsal games in Singapore.

My first experience was that I was playing for Singapore futsal team as a goalie keeper. I am not sure about the score, but I remembered that our team won one and lost two. Our Singaporean team have group: A,B,C,D and was playing againist to five teams of Malasyians. Mostly Malaysian asked me " where do you coming from" I am from USA. some of them got a open their jaws said "wow" I am an American" I was like "huh, why do the America so special"? I realized that American has a good life, good deaf service and human rights. When I was finish up for second games of my team. They had a netball(lady) team for Malaysian and Singaporean. I told my teammate that USA dont have a netball, so I should watch for my wife to play there. I saw muslim Malasyian talked eachtoher about me, they said, " that guy is from American and married to Singaporean wife." They looked and smiled at me. I waved to them for "hi" In few later, I watched netball games, it was quite an interesting games. My wife was pretty good at Netball! (The html will be info about deaf futsal tornament in three weeks)

Memories of September 11th

Today is 4 anniverary of the Sept 11th. I am still pride to be American, but I dont like American government system due to blackmail. I would like to thank to former USA President George Bush SR(1987 to 1992). Because He was signed for ADA law of 1990, and made disabilites to be better service system. Our deafness people would able to have a human rights. Accord to present president George Bush JR is not doing good job for Iraq war, remove the money for closed Captional( must have for deaf people to read the news on the tv), lack of helping to people at Lousiana( not help for 5 days), and got 30 million dollars from Social security for retired people, and disablities s fund money. For your info, Bush JR MAY was working with Osama's families for some of reason in business in the past. In 1999 or 2000, Bin Osama wrote a few threat letter to USA government, while USA government was not pay attention to Bin's threat letter for a year. Don't forget at 1999 that WTC basement had a small blast by JI muslim(bad group). Plus, on Sept 11th, The two WTC was damaged and over 3,000 died of the international and American people. What a sad to hear that USA government was not pay attention to Bin Liden Osama's threat letter!!!!!!! I hopeully, George Bush JR will be more doing his better job on his second term as a USA president. However, I am still statue to American Flag!

YO MAN!(act like surfer talk) This photo is Kelly slater. Last year, he made third place and two years ago, He made second place, but two years, he would able to winning for 7th World Champion, Unfortunty, He was lost at Hawii heat during the final. Andy Irons was winning that time and winning of 2003 world Champion. I realized that Kelly was really wanted to winnning soooooo bad for his late father cuz, I watched the DVD of the surfing contest at Bali. Kelly was really extremely upset and alittle tear. His oldest Brother was cuddled on him to make a feeling better and supported him to be positive attuidue. This year, I hopeully, he will be 7th World Champion. His score is 5342 and Andy Irons' s score is 4596. In two weeks, They will have a ASP tour contest at my mom 's ex home land...... do you know where it is? CHIBA, JAPAN! I surfed at Chiba, Japan twice. The Japanese surfers were really nice and bow me few times. You see the my deaf Japanese friends at Chiba, Japan( May 2004). I was soooooo happy to be surfing at Chiba and hang out few deafies Japanese surfers. I had a great time with my Japanese friends, and felt part of Japanese groups as well as I was really happy to be Japanese. I never forget that day. Some of Deafies Japanese dont really bow to me cuz I realized that I am not true Japanese and not living in Japanese culture at all, but I am really pride to be half Japanese/American. that s who I am. Japanese Accord to Japanese surf culture, When they are finish up the surfing. they went to shower with small water plastic, so that way, they feel better after bath, and dont have to wait for getting home for bath. In USA, they dont have one like this. is that cool? dude!

I let you know

(Now, you can look at Bali for stories and look at the date was July 7th, I will put good photos in fews days.)

Very interesting about Chinese s' way!

(This stories was from Jeren, who is good friend of my wife. Jeren wanted to have god son for my son. This Article is very interesting for USA people to read this)


Today, Karen sms me, she needs to know my birth date and time born. Because, her father needs to "calculate" check, if Kazu and mine will it be crash infuture? Chinese believe about fengshui, five elements too. Example: after checking, if you are lack of Fire and metal, you will need to put on crystals to cover it(maybe wear a small crystal ring or neckacles)to balance your elements need in life. Hopefully to bring good luck, good fortunte,good life..ETC ETC

Even for marriage, timing, dates, colours are very important. That's why some of my friends, follow strictly on that, as they afraid "bad luck" will fall onto them.

To be frank, as a christian we should not believe in those fengshui stuff. BUT i need to respect Karen's father, i could understand that he will be worry for his grandchild :) Well, as i have told Karen that if Kazu and i we cannot match, then i will still treat him as my little God-son (non officially)ha ha :D

ABOUT THE LUCKY STARS (YOU MAY READ IT, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED)

What Lucky Stars are:
We are all born with lucky stars, from 1 to 5. Lucky Stars are derived from an ancient Chinese 9 astrology system based on feng shui and the 5 elements. The number of lucky stars you have depends on the date of your birth. They are based on the combination of your birth star and month star.

Even more than your birth star, lucky stars reveal what your lucky colors are, the best direction in space to align your furniture, how decorate your home or office, or even create your own logo! By understanding what your lucky stars are, you can use the colors, images, patterns and designs to enhance your life, effect positive changes, and bring luck to you.

To calculate all 9 Star influences, including lucky stars, a persons sex and birthdate must be known. Through these calculations, information such as what occupation could be the best for you, what door directions promote the most positive influence, who you are most compatible with, what foods to eat for optimum health and more.

Nine Star Astrology:
The Nine Star astrological system provides refined horoscope information based on the five elements. It is the oldest and simplest form of Chinese astrology and originated in the twenty-ninth century B.C. from divination methods employed by the Emperor Fu Hsi. Traditionally associated with the North Star, the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and the star Wega, the nine stars are in fact yin and yang expressions of the five elements. The names given to the nine stars are 1 Water Star, 2 Earth Star, 3 Wood Star, 4 Wood Star, 5 Earth Star, 6 Metal Star, 7 Metal Star, 8 Earth Star and 9 Fire Star. According to your date of birth, you came into this life under one or another of these stars, or moods of chi. The chi of your year of birth is therefore the chi of your basic character and is expressed as a star/element.

Feng Shui:
Feng Shui is the art of timing and placement. Time is inextricably tied to space, time moves through space; there is no time without space. Timing is the essence of strategy. Successful strategy involves discerning patterns and rhythms of change and seizing the the right moment for action. Feng Shui is the study of the patterns of chi that enables one to manifest optimum conditions in one’s environment.
Feng Shui has two premises and two levels of practice. The first premise is that a persons state of mind and energy affects his environment for good or ill. The second premise is that the condition of the environment affects a persons internal state.

Chi:
Chi is sometimes called the cosmic breath or vital principle. It is the essence of the principles of heaven and earth, of time and space and therefore of all relative phenomena; it is the force of change and transformation. Chi affects the changes in our bodies, emotions, thoughts and the changes of our affairs and fortunes. Everything comes from it, exists through it and returns to it.

Chi has five moods or elements. The five elements are called Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. The elements operate in the lives of all people at all times, but, as everyone is unique, one of the elements will be more pronounced in the personality of one person than another. A better understanding of the five elements will help you better understand your environment and its subtle connections to your health and career.

quitted the bored job at Nypro(Jurong West)

Jonathan told me that he got a job at NYPRO(www.nypro.com) at Jurong West, so I asked him if I can get this job. He said," I will ask to Human Resource Dept about you." " ok, I will wait up for you to talk to HR later," Ken replied! In few days later, HR said ok, I would able to do get an interview at Nypro, so Jonathan and I went to see HR for an interview, and he was driving for me to get there. I met Human Resource, who works for NYpro, we got an interview for five mins. I was like huh, Do i get a job? it seems that i got a job as a production Operator and get pay for 580 dollars per month. What a lower pay?! The HR person told me that we will starting on Aug 10th. We said, okay!

On Aug 10th, We started to get a chance to see HR person. They did shown me how to do time in and out. We have to use cover plastic clother to prevent to get a dirty on the supplies at factories company. When we meet three deafies workers, The deafies workers did not introduced us to meet the boss and manager. I was wondering" huh, do the deafies workers have a manner to introucded us for meet workers?" so I dont really know the supervior or manager is. We started to work from 9am to 1145am ( NO TEA BREAK and no bathroom) 1145am to 12 45pm is for lunch break. After 1pm, I started to feel tired due to no drink water. My body must have a water. I realized that They are bulled to deafies and other people for target the number of the supplies to finish up. My mind says " huh? that mean, I feel like I am a Chinese, who live in China". Because American Company(Nike) gives a couples of company at china, and they paid to Chinese people for 50 cents($) per hour. The American Company laughed at China as a stupid for being a lot of profits! The American Company also paid to ONE NBA Pro player for 90 million dollars of the NIKE Company!!! NO WONDER, The Chinese people got a lot of patience and feel bored to fonus on same thing for 10 hours a day. Now, I understand why Chinese people(in china) started to doing better ecomonic and better living now.
Jonathan and me!

Kazu's hair day!

Kazu was supposed to shave his hair on 6th August by time he turns 4 months old but instead he shaved hair yesterday cuz' my dad said that Kazu's chinese birth date and time followed 3rd Aug instead of 6th Aug which matched good timing and date for shaving hair when he turns 4 months old.In chinese beliefs,all the babies must have shaven hair if they turn 1 or 4 months old.They can't allow to shave hair if they are not 1 or 4 months old yet.Possibly,new hair may bring good luck and new life to babies. Kazu looked different but better and fresh in his bald head.His head without hair looks bigger than with hair!So strange,isn't it?I feel that his life has changed to new life.

sort of bad day!

Dreamland of the waves(five to ten feet)

Goa 1

Goa 2










I know mostly of my friends and my families would say, I stayed too long at bali for 25 days. The reason why was that I went there. My thought was " Temporary being away and having a chance to speculately a lot of about myself." I am Admitted that I dont really happy myself at Singapore due to shock the culture of the people and a lot of discrimation to me. When I arrived to Singapore. My mom in law and I were not getting along due to different thinking of our living standard. Karen's mom has a stronger personally as a eldest woman due to their culture. Karen's mom realized that I was working hard and not happy at work. I lost 15 Kg = 20 pounds. A lot of people said, I am look like shinny and not look like heathy, so Karen's mom and I are doing try to be best to adjustment to being a better together as possble as we can. Mostly eldest Chinese people will not getting a grant for change their belief or don't accept to be mistake due to save their face! bcs they are eldest to know what s going on and they are taken advance of younger people to respect their eldest people in Singapore culture. In few months ago, my mom in law realized that I was not happy myself. She was changed to be better with me to be relationship. At The Chinese people believe a lot of different of myths for their chinese culture of stardard lifestyle than American People do. Anyway, I would like to talk about my vacation and see real indonesia people' s living standard. Now, I know what to do for better in my life at Singapore.

pauline and I were chatting about our families and Aboringial. She mentioned about our fourth Aunt lives in Tokyo, Japan.
Pauline: I only was told a few years ago, than I realized that I have anohter cousin somewhere it is so horrible that she could not stay together with her child. She must be so depressed as a result.

Kenichi: Two years ago, I was keeping looking for lost- cousin in Japan, but it is tooo big in Tokyo, Japan and they have all of slint eyes.

Pauline asked me about our trip at Alice Spring and Ulluru.
Pauline: how did you find ulluru and Alice Springs?

Kenichi: My wife and I arrived from Syd to Alice Spring. I just do is getting a rent car. I was alittle clumsy to drive bcs it is different from USA's road. but in few hours later, I got better to drive from Alice Spring to ullru (ayers rocks) for three and half.

Alice Spring sound like a scary town. We call the people (non-Aboriginal) " Red Necks" It's called Aust-Auari slang for narrow-minds people with sunburnt necks!!!

Let s me explain to you about Aboriginal people in Australia. Australia has very bad conditioin, life expecting, health, education and housing when it comes to its aborgninal popular. They were almost wiped out genoade. it was only as recent as 1976 that aboriginal people were recognised as Aussie citzen s with the right to vote. They were heard up like cattle, then forced to move to "mission" so they were displased from then land - like in USA. A lot of inland Aboringinal people do like to live their lifestyle close to native: sleeping out in the open, but it is hard to see urban aboriginalls in many different approaches such as "gov't housing set up" but some Aboringonalian dont like that non-aboriginal set up.
A funny story is that when an Aboriginal elder dies, to all their possessiors are burnt- so there are alot of cases where such as wealthy artists their expensive cars have been burnt as part of their custom. Because they are not as material istic as us. sometime, when you travel and see interesting poeple, they dont like to get photographed by white people.
