Sooo yesterday night i went to IKEA Tampines to meet my girlfriend and her school friends. They need to get some frames for their school stuff.
Okay, to get there you have to take a shuttle bus from Tampines MRT, i mean well you could take a taxi or walk or take public transport or ride a bike or motor bike or even your own car (
if you own one) or skateboard or scooter, well there are many ways to get there, but i chose to take the shuttle bus that they provided. ITS FREE! but i have to wait for almost 30 minutes for the damn bus.
Okay so, while waiting for the bus i saw this 2 guys, probably around 30, they were both speaking in sign language, their hands movement were intense when they were talking! and it somehow i was amazed and it caught my attention. I mean there are so many words in the english language, imagine how many hand movement and gestures you have to know. Then i thought to myself, it's pretty cool actually to know how to speak sign language. Okay what the hell is speak sign language? does it even make sense?! but you get what i mean right? RIGHT RIGHT?
Okay so apparently those 2 dudes got on the same bus as me, and they sit in somewhere in front of me, they're still talking with their intense hand gestures. Then i think again, wouldn't it be tiring if you have to keep moving your hands when you speak all the time? It's like when you're communicating, you have to look at the hand gestures and the mouth movement to understand what the other is saying.
Then i think about how inconvenience it is, for example, for us, sometimes we can just talk without looking at the person and while our hands doing other things ( please dont think dirty, i was referring to action such as smsing,eating ice cream, etc)
HA!
Okay, so i think yeah thats some of the cons of speaking in sign language. Well on the other hand, can you imagine, dissing others and talking about people using sign language?! you can just do it in front of their faces and they won't even know it! haha. Oh well just don't show the middle finger. I think its a pretty universal sign. Oh well, why am i talking about this.
K BYE! I LOVE YOU ALL!
