i felt so insulted as a hearing impaired....

Today...

I WENT TO SCHOOL TO COLLECT MY REPORT BOOK!!!

OH GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When i went inside the classroom, I saw MISS VOON and two spare seats for me and mum to sit down....i was like "OH MY GOSH....." I feel as i have to prepare myself to hear for the WORST or BETTER.....

In the end,

my class position is 31/37

And 47%....

failed three subjects and only passed 2 subjects....

Haiz, miss voon even mentioned to my mum that I talked too much and had not been paying attention in class. LOL!!

Anyway, Ivy, I asked miss voon about the subjetcs like Higher Music and Higher Art, its actually not for us, only for the better class, like those taking Higher Chinese.

SIGH!!!

And I also asked about the courses which Poly have

You know what? When I heard all these from my mum and miss voon

I felt so discouraged and utterly disappointed.

They said that art courses and music courses don't accept hearing impaired.

I was like "How can?? But i got flute course from outside, why can't i use it as a evidence during the interviews so that they can accept me in? What about art?? I got hands to draw!"

My mum even dare say "Its simply because you are a hearing impaired" Even Miss Voon agreed.

I was like so upset can. I tried not to show it but in my heart, i was already very disappointed. They say that we HI can only take other courses except art and music. Well, music, unfortunately, cannot be accepted for HI. No matter how we try to convince them, they will not accept us to enter music course. Simply cos we are HEARING IMPAIRED. For Art, most of them, are also not accepted for HI. My mum said that there could be a possible acception for HI for art, which is, few arts like Fashion and Interior Designs.

Fashion, is all about clothes. Interior Designs is all about furnitures, cardboards, making sulptures, and more, using your talented hands to design. There is also an Art which only requires hands, like drawing a big massive piece of art on the wall, like those in Art museum. I think its visual art? No? I'm not sure liao.

When my mother detailed them, i realised its extremely difficult. Fashion is hard. Really hard. So is Interior Design and "Visual Arts" (i dunno if it is really visual art but i'll just use it as example for "an art for HI people")

When on interviews for Fashion, you have to show a picture of your work on clothes, you have to analyse them, detail them, from length to length, what kind of material to use and why is such a material have to be used, and you must know how to sew and blah blah. Really hard. I dun even think I'm up to it.

Interior Design? Definetely not. I have not even learn such skills like that! Maybe my hands have no talent for doing such extreme manual work.

"Visual Art"?? I dunno. Its kinda similar to Interior Design; using hands.

Now, how about art like drawing cartoons? Like ZM's case

Its a no-no.

I mean is, when drawing animes, it also requires sound recording; media.

Art that works with media, will not accept HI. Just because of SOUND. Something to do with HEARING. It implies music too.


I really feel insulted. Not from my mum or miss voon. But those people who plan such rules like that. I really feel INSULTED. I was like "But you know, there is this hearing impaired girl, who is a xyophonist. She earns a living for that, i guess??" (Hauen should know about her, cos she is in the percussion band with her)

My mum said "Thats probably her personal hobby"

I was like "Then how about mine? isn't mine a personal hobby too? If she can do it, why can't I? Why won't the Polys give us a chance? its unfair!"

My mum said "Well, to be a musician, you need a music degree from university. Without a degree, you won't make it far as a musician"

Okay, at least university would probably accept us, but not polythenics. What the hell can.

Why? just cos we are hearing impaired, we are not allowed to take art or music course? How would they know when they don't even give us a chance?! Wah liao, another great disadvantage being a hearing impaired!!!

WAT THE HELL!!!!!

Why bother to take a course you don't enjoy? Why won't they let us take a course we enjoy? Its really unfair.

Just take it as a new learning skill from a new course? So what? Do you really enjoy it or not? How to put your heart and soul into a course you are not even interested in?? Wah liao, i just guess we have to get used to it..... and i hope there are other course which I'm slightly interested in and might consider to apply in, if im ever disqualified in art or music.
