1)How are you Happy? I am surprised you get to be happy!     I eat chococate. I watch Masterchef Australia. I cursed a person and laughed about it.  I am laughing at your  stupid question. In brief, eat chocolate and laughter is the best medicine to happiness,yeah? 2)You are  so brave and inspirational. And I did nothing like that. I  wake up and *sighed* about going to uni or office. 3)You cannot listen to music,right?I wont survive without music! How do you enjoy life? *goes to pick Over-ear headphone and switch on the music playlist from my lumia phone on maximum volume* 4)Do you wear this ear thing to shower too? Do you take your dear smartphone that you are glued to shower? I mean you use it almost to the same amount that I use my hearing aid. 5)You speak so well for a people like you. And you talk sooo ignorant and stupid. Glad that I am  not like people like you. 6)You talk so cute. Almost like a baby!  An...

#SignLanguage and Giving Up!

Oh man! Where to even begin? Last few months have been such a turbulence for me in term of my mental health. Those who know me, will probably understand my state.  I have been on a mission to try to get my family to learn sign language and to educate them on subjects related to it. My hearing is getting worse. It was already bad in term of frequency range and now on right side it is practically zero. I don't wear hearing aid at right side anymore. I wear at left ear now. And my left ear is soon getting on level with my other ear. Soon enough my ears will be just an decoration for my body. Not really,I think. I wear hijab so it is not like people can see my ear or anything. It will be I guess......appendix version of external organ? I mean appendix is internal organ which become useless as human grows. Oh I am getting bit carried away. I should get back to topic.  So after all this, I asked to them to learn sign language for communication sake. I cannot keep relying on l...

Suzie and Nora: Urghh!!! Suzie: Me first! Today I was watching a new video uploaded by Rikki Poynter. My sister was watching with me. It is her first time watching her video. Before Rikki even finished her line, she said"she have a problem." Seriously? I told her millions of time about her. Yet she said it like that! I wanted to scream at her "So you think having deaf accent is a problem? You mean to say I have a problem?" Nora: Not again! She is still doing that! Suzie: I know, right? I still remember that awful argument we had few years back! I was complaining how my parents was not listening to me about something and she said  to straight to my face "But you should be grateful! You cannot be keep complaining all the time! You should be grateful that your parents at least was able to pay for pair of hearing aids! You do know how lot of deaf people cannot have that? They cannot pay for it! You would not be today if it were not for those!"  My comp...

How to communicate with me! #DeafVersion

I don't know what it is with people around me, they seem to be either afraid of talking with me or avoid me altogether.  It is not with stranger only;but also with families including relatives, parents etc.. Since I was kid, people has been doing this to me making me feel kinda alien. At some point, I was relating with alien in the movie more than human, *chuckle*.(And the alien are villain in the movie(  -_-). But I am starting to understand it bit why people behave with me like that. I think it is that  I am deaf, people get lost on how communicate with me despite seeing me talking with my friends numerous time. It is like, even If I am talking with people,  they turn for my deaf accent, I think. Which is sad, because people in this world seem to be judging intelligence of one's based on accent. One of most popular example is how some people in Asian countries seem to laugh at their English accent. English is English,period!!! I realized it first time at when...
