Went for my cca bbq at night, I had so much fun. Not only was I able to eat great food cooked by our very own instructors, I got to practice my signing a lot with my friends. I found that I can sign better if I don't speak while I sign. so much for hand-eye-ear coordination??
Being deaf and mute and choosing not to talk are two entirely different things, I can't pretend to be deaf/mute when I'm perfectly able to. But if I can go to their world with just a little bit more effort on my part, I will do so. Signing became a lot more meaningful to me, when I realized that there were HI people among our midst and we didn't even realize it. maybe it's my natural curiosity streak acting up again, but I want to understand how it is like to live in the world where there is little or no sound.

Universal Studio Singapore. I was finally able to go to my first ever amusement park! My first ride being the blue battlestar galactica, I was so scared that I kept screaming and ended up grabbing my friend's hand tighter than she held mine. We were so lucky that the morning rain eased into a sunny afternoon and we were able to ride all the rides! From the wet waterworld that showed us a spectacular show to a relaxed madagascar merry-go-round to the thrilling ride in the dark of ancient egypt! I loved it all. Thanks so much to J for taking awesome pictures and to G, J and YY for putting up with me signing the whole day.
Had dinner with G's family in such a long time, M changed so much that I couldn't recognize him at all!! I'm so happy to be able to eat together again, my other family whom I love very much. :D
