The Sign Language

Few years back, I still remembered I went to a fast food stall with my friend, and she's deaf. So we are using a sign language as a medium to communicate with each other. At the beginning yes its not easy, but I'm getting used to it and getting excited to learn more and more about the sign language. Oh back to the story, on that day we walk together to the stall while chit chat with moving our hands like usual. While walking to the counter I see group of guys looking at us and I looked back at them. Walked passed by them and I hear one of the guys said "ala.. bisu rupanya.." for me, the way they said that were quite rude. So I pretend that I didnt hear them. After ordered our food, I picked a place whereby I can see them. Me and my friend continued chit chat while eating. I guess its one of the advantages using sign language to communicate while eating because it wont disturbed while we chewing the foods !

After finished our meals, we decided to continue with our shopping things. So I walked pass by them, I stop, smiling and said "Hi". They were so shocked ! I smile and walk out. I hope they learn a lesson on that day. :P

Here are the example of sign language of feeling/emotion. Or you can go straight to this link for more signs. http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/h/happy.htm
