Twinkle Star...

LAZINESS IS THE CAUSE OF IT ALL.

Anyhoosies.

Yesterday was the recording day for "Copi-o Gau No Enough". It went on pretty well, with a proper script I wrote over a few days... having good actors helped quite a fair bit too. Thank God we managed to work out the schedules so that we can finish it all within that few hours before YF.

We shot in the market... we were so blessed for having no lunch crowd when we were there! wow.

Anyhoosies.

Those who go to the market quite often with me will know that there's this cleaning lady I'm super afraid of... She is like having PMS everyday lah. Super "buay song" when she works... After my first bad encounter with her, I would try to avoid her whenever I go to the market... I wouldn't want to cross her path man.

Still remember there was once when I asked her to clear and clean the table for us, she came with that "black" face and very unwillingly cleared the table then she swept some dunno-what on me! She should be thankful I'm not the kind of person who will kick up a big fuss... if not.

On another occasion, I was sitting at the table waiting for the others to come back after ordering their food... then when I got out of my seat to go and place my order, she was clearing the table right behind me! There wasn't much space between the seats with 2 people standing there so I waited. After a while, I concluded that she will not finish clearing the table as fast as I make my way through... so I walked sideways and I was already on my way out. She just had to turn around at this point of time! gosh. I stepped right onto a land mine! Nearly banged into her... and she was scolding me without words. Hmmm. I can tell she's scolding me even though there weren't any specific words of condemnation. *Speaking from experience*

That's it. After that, whenever I go to the market, I will look out for her... just to make sure I won't get in her way.

However.

After some time, we came to a conclusion that she is deaf and she can't speak. No wonder. Alright. My suspicion has been proven true. I saw her when she was off-duty. She looks happier than when she is not working. Her colleagues were trying to speak to her by inventing new signs that all will understand. I wished I could talk to her. I wished she wasn't so fierce.

Somehow.

On that very same day when we had some problems with the drink stall uncle because of some ridiculous misunderstanding, she was the one who was told to come and clear our tables. It just had to be her. After clearing our cups away, she kinda signalled to us that the man want us to leave... it was then when I finally plucked up my courage to sign to her. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I just needed that platform for that first conversation to take place.

Anyhoosies.

I saw her again when we were shooting... She was coming to clear our table and I signed a simple "Thank you" to her. All of a sudden, she smiled and 'said', "AH, you were the one talking to me the other day! No wonder you look so familiar!" Then she asked how i know sign language... before I realised, we were engaging in a conversation! She was asking what we were doing... what it's for... I was really glad that I managed to talk to her.

I look forward to seeing her again.

I pray that one day I would able to testify to her.
