Pioneer of Boxer named Muhammad Ali


When I was a early teenage, I was wondering, if I would able to learn how to boxing and ballet due to good balance. I alway wanted to learn anything as can as I would like to learn new thing, but I never had a done it until I was 23 years old, I met a old business Partner named Ken Barry, he is half An American and Filipino. We had a lot of martial arts training: boxing, grabbing and etc... I was studying Bruce Lee's fighting style, I realized that Bruce Lee was studying Muhammad Ali s footwork for few years. During 1970's, Ali and Bruce Lee were compromse to make a deal for best martial arts for boxing during the match on 1974; however, Bruce had really busy with his films. Unfortable, Bruce Lee died on July 20, 1973.

Anyway, I would like to know deep stories about Muhammad Ali s life book called "The Soul of a Butterfly" by Muhammad Ali with (daughter) Hana Yasmeen Ali. YOu may dont knkow that he has a real named Cassius Clay after the white owner for slave, that s why he changed his name is Muhammad Ali by leader of the Black Muslim in near to Chicago. Ali is extremely friendly and joker man. He also wrote a excellent Poem about relatation to Boxing, muslim, and his life! I am really strongest suggest you to read this book called "The Soul of a Butterfly" and it is an interesting history during 1950 to 80's stories in the America. He was face a lot of really bad discrimation by the white people in America.

Civil rights Pioneer of the black lady named Rosa Parks

When I was kid, I have had been heard a lot of Rosa Parks for long time. She refused to get up at white people's area at the bus, so she was arresting for this stupid reason by white police. Now, She still was famous person as a well known in America and pass away on Oct 24th. I am sure that she is pure happy to be heaven now. Please do read those stories about her life. It was really an interest for you to learn about American s life during 1950s to 1960s. I think, one of Deaf Singaporean will be do like this in some day!

what a busy in this week from Oct 17th to 23rd

oct 17: worked at Singapore School for the Deaf from 10am to 1pm then go to work at 4pm to 930pm at KFC.

Oct 18: went to USA embasssy from 9 30am to 1020am, I decided to eat at Mcdonald at Lucky Plaza.
Me: I asked a manager if the deaf worker are allow to work at your company.
Manager: yes, You are VIP!
Me: Itch my hair by my finger, and huh?! I said, ok, pls give me an Application form for crew, so I fill it out and introduced myself to Manager.
At around 1pm, The Singapore Assoicate for the Deaf, who works as a social worker, he wanted to meet me at border bookstore, so we dicussed for an hour, and he wanted me to do is facilitator for do SADeaf debate 2005 on Oct 21st. I told him "okay"
and I wanted to have a prepare for the list of speaker as a Facilitator.

At the KFC, I talked to my co worker for discuss the Coclear Implant. I found out that The MOH governments are planning to dicuss for support to Coclear Implants. Somehow, My other boss and I was into the agurment about the coclear Implant. My boss was support to Coclear Implant. bcs of advance Techical, and he did not talk about specific of the topic about Coclear Implant. He knew that I got a right points. I will tell you about my opionion and fact stories based on Coclear Implants on my writing book in two years later, when my book will be print out in America and Singapore.

oct 19th went to Singapore School for the Deaf at 10am to 12 30pm. The white lady came up and speak up to me. My mind says," huh?! I saw a white person came up to me, my mind says "Am i in America?!" then I tried to make a clear who she is. That her name is Sandy Kob, she was doing volunteer worker for Singapore School for the Deaf. she said, she wanted to learn sign Language more and my son is studying at Gallaudet University, and just learn sign Language two years ago. I wanted to communicate with my son. My son also has a coclear Implant. she addmit, that coclear Implant is not fitting into the hearing culture. We chatted for 45 mins.
work at KFC from 5pm to 10pm.

oct 20th: SADeaf debate 2005 from 2pm to 330pm. I had an interesting experence that Two different schools have a code of clother issue was "the uniform will be scapped" and they were dicuss by the their paper, and not talking their mind for opinion of the issue. Each kids had to look at paper and does SEE 2. it was soooo long winder to catch their SEE2. It was sooooooooo bored to dicuss. When two of sides school finish up to dicuss. I asked to people to stand up the opinion. They were sooo quiet and nothing to say. One of our staff told them to speak up for opinion of the dicuss. I was making joking to them: " our staff will not be bite you like a dog" mostly kids laughed. One of students stand up and tell them about opioion. my mind says " what is wrong with Deaf Singapore kids?!" I felt that NO ONE gives them a expore to Deaf kids at Singapore. I think, Deaf American kids at high school debate have a very good point for speak up to dicuss.

oct 21: an interview at China Knowlege by Mick Koh, who is Online Marketing Manager. He seems alittle nervous to talk me due to differnet Sign Language, so I am trying to make him to feel comfortable to talk to me. It seems goes well. We have had dicuss and explain for 45 mins. that was my longest interview ever I had.

oct 22nd went to ASL workshop from 2pm to 6pm then meet my wife s friend at 6 30pm to 8 30pm. I learned about SEE1 between SEE2. One of Deaf Singaporean lady tried to running to be leader as a USA deaf way. Mostly deaf Singaporean think that she is immpossible to do that bcs NO hearing people to help them, and they think, one of those hearing person needs to be leading. My mind says, " where is deaf leadership in Singapore?" huh?!

oct 23rd futsal football with my brother in law and cousin in law from 9 30am to noon at NTU. Then meet my co worker named jenny from 5 pm to 8 30pm for her daughter's birthday party.

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!

FLORIDIAN KELLY SLATER

Deafies Japanese surfers


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!
