the sheep in ORANGE
Wednesday, May 31, 2006,12:30 AM
I have this friend in my Japanese class.
He is just like anyone else. He has a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth and everything that a normal person should have. When one passes by him, he or she might not even notice him (unless he or she is a tiko peh just like me who thinks that he is quite cute from certain angles, hurhur). But he or she doesn't knows that there is something should I say unique about this guy.
And what is that special about this guy is that he isn't able to hear and speak. In other words he is deaf and mute.
Let me guess. Your reaction now must be "Omg!!! Aawww man!!!"
That was my reaction as well when I found out from him that he can't hear and talk. And I got so panic that my mind got blackout. I didn't know what to do next and I was like "ermmm... ahhhh... ahhh... ehhhh... okay... ehhh..." It was as if I was dumb and I was so messy.
Though he is sort of physically disabled, but he did not let this factor get in his way.
He goes through normal education just like us, comes to poly and so on, but something extra is that he also took up Japanese and badminton.
Many of us are too lazy to take up CCA in poly and some already couldn't cope with 2 languages. But yet this very guy who has to work doubly hard in everything are actually doing both of THESE!?!?!?
Something out of point, I say yuan han you ought to be ashamed of yourself! Hurhur. =P
Instead of sympathizing him, dude, I admire and salute him for his courage. If I was him, I doubt I will be able to make it.
And he really is a sweetheart man. =)
This is supposed to be a heartwarming and touching entry but when I read back, it doesn't seems like one. Man, I seriously need to polish up my English!
*Oh oh! This is a true story.
20 more days to 20062006! =D
